CLINGING CLOSELY TO GOD

Father, I 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 praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ and are grateful for second chances as well.

Father, as I awaken on this beautiful morning that was not promised, I give you all the praises and glorify your holy name for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy.

It is only by your grace that I have life and have it more abundantly. Because of your unconditional love, I am able to push through adversities and challenges, knowing that you will never forsake me.  

Father, help everyone to understand that life is full of ups and downs, but the ups always override the downs. Therefore, cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things and situations.  

“My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me.” Psalm 63:8

“Fear the Lord your God, serve Him, cling to Him, and take your oaths in His name.” This verse emphasizes the importance of fear (reverence), service, and loyalty to God.”  Deuteronomy 10:20

GOD’S PURE LOVE

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to pray, thank you, and continue to walk the path that you have established for them.  Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, protect, provide, and restore after true repentance.  Despite their second chances, you continue to love beyond measure. 

Father, help all to understand that your love is like no other love.  Help all also realize that while earthly love has an expiration, your love is never-ending, pure, and heals all things.

“In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.” 1John 4:9-10

The Lord is at hand;  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:5-7

GOD’S ESTABLISHED PATH

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed #SONday!  I’m grateful for your faithfulness.  

Father, as many have begun this set aside day, to worship you and praise your holy name through your Son Jesus Christ, they are filled with joy and happiness. They know that it is only because of your love that they are able to push through the darkness that was meant to deplete their happiness as well as their love for you through your Son Jesus Christ.  However, through it all, the darkness caused a total dependency upon you through Jesus Christ.  

Father, help all to understand that there is a greater purpose for all things; therefore, pray constantly and depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, because their path has already been established.

“And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”  Isaiah 58:11

GOD’S LOVE

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 give you all the praise for allowing them another opportunity to get it right.  They smile because you continue to encamp your angels around them throughout the day and night. Although they try their hardest not to sin, it is inevitable because no one is perfect and all sin and fall short of your glory daily. Therefore, they pray that you keep them on the straight and narrow path to salvation, as they repent and are forgiven of such sins.

Father, help all to understand that no one is perfect.  Help them to understand that was the purpose of allowing your Son, Jesus Christ, to die and be resurrected so that all could have salvation.  

Father, help all to further understand that grace and mercy came as a result of your ultimate sacrifice. Therefore, they must serve you, through Christ, in all that they do.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”  
John 3:16

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile despite their pain, heartaches, challenges, health concerns, and/or thoughts.

They pray a prayer of thankfulness, through all experiences, for you are indeed the light in their darkness; the comfort in their state of confusion; the friend when they cannot trust anyone; and their psychologist when their thoughts hinder their freedom and progression in life.

Father, help all to understand that life is full of ups, downs, twists, turns, as well as downfalls. However, with you, they have the needed peace  to overcome it all.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication; with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
