GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH IT ALL

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your overarching love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to thank you for the gift of life and the strength to push through their mental and physical woes. They thank you for the ability to remain focused on their goal of helping others through their own experiences in life. They understand that nothing in life is promised; therefore, they continue to trust in you for all things.

At the point where they wanted to give up, you gave them a reason to smile. At the time they wanted to isolate themselves, you allowed them to find comfort in socializing with loved ones as well as strangers. When they hesitated when it came to trusting others, you allowed them to have peace within their soul. When they were overwhelmed because of their hidden disabilities, you allowed them to push through by focusing on your ultimate purpose.

Father, help all to realize that as long as they put you first, all will work out for the good of those who love you, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to know that there is a greater purpose for their trials and tribulations; therefore, never give up on life.

“Let us then, with confidence, draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

NO GREATER HEALING POWER

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for another day to praise your holy name.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another day in Christ. They are grateful for your forgiveness, direction, protection, guidance, peace, and love.

They know that if it had not been for you, through your Son Jesus Christ, they would not have made it through this week to experience this set-apart day to worship you in spirit and in truth.

They know that there is no greater healing power than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to cling closely to you during the good and the bad. Help them know that you will never forsake them. Help them to keep their minds on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, at all times.

“Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise. Jeremiah 17:14

GOD CAUSES ALL THINGS TO COME TO FRUITION

Father, as many have awakened and begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Father, help all to know that you are the answer to all of their needs, wants, and desires. Help them to understand that in due time all will subside and they will continue walking the path that you have established for them to reach the goal that you have orchestrated for them.

“In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:11-12

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCES

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your second chances.

Father, as many have awakened on this beautiful morning, they sing praises to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, for granting them another day to make a difference.

Instead of doing the same thing and expecting different results, they pause to evaluate their goals and accomplishments, as well as their shortcomings and setbacks. They understand that they cannot change what has occurred, but they can learn from their various experiences of heartaches, pains, setbacks, and setups.

Father, help all to realize that through you and your Son, Jesus Christ, they are renewed and restored daily. Father, help all to come to you for all things, realizing that all prayers are answered in your timing in conjunction with the timing of whoever requests your help.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7

GAINING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your presence in my life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they glorify your holy name for allowing them another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to uplift, restore, and renew. Despite their wavering faith, you continue to provide, guide, and direct.

Father, help all to understand that they should always make you, through your Son Jesus Christ, their first priority. Help all to take time out of their daily schedules to read and study your holy word. Help them to understand that the more knowledge they have concerning your holy word, the better they can understand the tactics and trickery of the devil.

“Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.” Proverbs 4:5-6

GOD ALLOWS SMILES FROM WITHIN

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank You”. If it weren’t for you, they would not be in the right state of mind this morning. If it were not for you, they would not have survived their most heartbreaking experience. If it were not for you, they would not have been able to push through their darkness. If it were not for you, they would not be able to understand that your love is indeed unconditional.

Father, help all to understand that when they have unfathomable experiences and pains in life, you are always present to comfort, guide, direct, restore, renew, and keep them. Help those who have experienced and continue to experience many ups and downs in life understand that there is always a greater purpose for all things.

Moreover, help them to cling to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things, and they will be able to smile from within again.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

GOD DELIVERS US THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for my continued spiritual connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have been blessed to witness another day in Christ, they praise you for another day to get it right. Despite their continued efforts to live righteously, they fall short every day. Therefore, they pray for forgiveness and a stronger will to keep you first in their daily journey.

They often feel like Paul did in Romans 7. “Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law, but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Father, help all to understand that no one on this earth is perfect, and all will fall short of your glory daily; however, your Son, Jesus Christ, died and was resurrected so that all can have salvation.

Help all to pray, worship, confess their sins, repent, be baptized, and cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily. Help them also to remember that God knows every thought as well as the motives behind every good and bad deed.

“For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:14

“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14.

THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN GOD’S LOVE

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for your continued grace and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they thank you for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to push them through and to the path of righteousness. Despite their difficulties, they have vowed to look past yesterday and focus on today. They know that as long as they put all their heart and trust in you, they will never be disappointed. They further understand that you are Alpha and Omega, and you know and are in control of all things. Although, you allow everyone to choose their path in life, you always show up to redirect them to the path that is more advantageous to accomplish what you have designed for them to accomplish, be and/or become.

Father, help all to trust in you for all things. Help them to understand that their timing does not determine your timing and/or will for them. Help them to understand that they should cling closely to your unchanging hands during the good as well as the bad. Moreover, help them understand that you come so that they may life, and have it abundantly!

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

GOD AWAITS YOUR CALL

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ! I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they pause to say “Thank You.” Because of your grace and mercy, they have life and have it more abundantly. They take time to evaluate themselves to become more like you than man.

They pray for your continued guidance to push through intentional and unintentional obstacles. They pray for patience to remain focused on your holy word instead of fitting in with the masses. They ask for forgiveness for their sins and pray for your forgiveness, direction, guidance, peace, and protection.

Father, help all to understand that you are hope, love, happiness, peace, joy, and are all powerful. Moreover, help them realize that you are always present; however, your holy spirit awaits their call.

“In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.” Psalm 18:6, NIV

WILL YOU LISTEN TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love!

Father, as many have awakened to see another blessed morning, they thank you profusely. They know that it is only by your grace that they are given another opportunity to share your holy word. They know that no one is perfect; however, with you, they are all able to repent and change their thought process to uplift you through Christ.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily, for sometimes their thoughts turn to unplanned actions that they may eventually regret. In addition, please help all to be quick to listen and slow to speak.

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:19-21
