ARE YOU DEPENDING ON A CLOCK WITHOUT BATTERIES?

Father, I give you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they also praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. They are grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

Father, many will praise your holy name as the alarm clock strikes to awaken them. However, as they awaken to witness another day that was not promised, they fail to realize that there is not an awakening by the alarm clock alone, but by your grace and mercy allowing them to hear the alarm clock as they are asleep.

Father, help all to be careful depending upon worldly gadgets to do what only you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, can do, have done, or allow to come to fruition. Help them to understand that life without you, your Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is like a clock without batteries.

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

“The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.” Psalm 18:2

“People depend on God for everything.” Psalm 104:27

WHO ARE YOU TRUSTING?

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they first pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness, joy, direction, love, and your continued protection as they go to and from.

You forgive them after true repentance and guide them through their troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and other difficulties that may arise.

Father, help all to learn to put all of their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. Help them to lean not upon their own understanding but just trust in you, through Jesus Christ, for all things, situations, and/or difficulties.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES ALL WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to think about your continued blessings, despite their shortcomings. Instead of allowing them to live in a state of depression due to their actions or inactions, you forgive them after their true repentance. You continue to love, uplift, protect, and guide them through their difficulties and to the path that you have established for them before they were even conceived by their parents. Your love is never-ending and always abounding.

Father, help all to understand your purpose for them. Help them to realize that they are not here by happenstance because you have established their purpose prior to their conception.

Father, help all to truly look at themselves from within, not how they believe they are seen from the viewpoint of others. Help them to read your holy word and compare their thoughts and actions to it. Moreover, help all to establish a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, so that the Holy Spirit can guide their thoughts and their steps.

“Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He told His disciples that He would send one who would teach and guide all those who believe in Him (Acts 1:5; John 14:26; 16:7). Jesus’ promise was fulfilled less than two weeks later when the Holy Spirit came in power on the believers at Pentecost (Acts 2).”

THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Father, I am giving you all the praise for allowing me to witness another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning routine, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t occurred or what did occur, they focus on the blessings that you continue to bestow upon them, despite their good or bad.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves throughout the day to determine who they are representing, you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, or Satan.

Father, help all to understand that prayer is needed throughout the day to better guide them to the path of righteousness.

“And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.” Philippians 3:9.

UNDERSTANDING THE DEVIL’S WILES

Father, as many have awakened and are blessed to experience another beautiful day in Christ, they praise you for your grace and mercy. They know that it is only because of your agape love that they are present in the body.

As they settle into their routine, they think about how you continue to bless them despite their shortcomings. You continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and direct them to the path of righteousness. They know that there is no other love like yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, they focus on putting you first in their lives.

Father, help all who follow those of the world and allow them to easily influence their walk in life. Help them to understand that there is no other love that can compare to yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Moreover, help all to realize that you have already chosen them. Therefore, they should always serve you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to remain steadfast in your holy word to withstand the wiles of the devil.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:10-11

CHOOSING GOD’S WAY

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you”. It is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Although some have fallen by the wayside due to focusing on what they see as happiness, they are more concerned with what is more pleasing to the mastiff than what pleases you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves based on what you desire from them instead of what is more desirable in the world.

“I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your ordinances before me.” Psalm 119:30

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

STAY THE COURSE

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they bow to their knees as they thank you for your grace, mercy, and unconditional love. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. In spite of their sins, after true repentance, you continue to forgive them and make them whole. Therefore, they cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, as they encounter and pass the tests in life.

Father, help all to open their eyes and understand that what goes around comes around. Help all to pray for your divine direction. Help them understand that there will be many forces trying to impede their lives. However, stay the course, for you have never and will never forsake them.

“You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him.” Psalms 119:1-8
