DO THAT, WHICH IS PLEASING TO GOD!

Father, praise your holy name 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 sing praises to you through your Son Jesus Christ for another day that was not promised. They smile because you have granted them another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive after true repentance and guide them through the darkness and to light.

Father, help all to understand that you are always present and know all things. Therefore, do that which is right and that which is pleasing to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.” I Thessalonians 2:4

And without faith, it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

ADORNED WITH GOD’S LOVE

Father, as I have awakened to witness this morning, I praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m forever grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have also awakened and have begun their morning journey, they are also grateful for your unconditional love.

We know that it is only by your grace that we have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, we push through our adversities and challenges, knowing that you will never forsake us.

Father, help all to understand that you are always present and your love abounds. Help us to seek you as we adorn ourselves with your armor and shield, breastplate of righteousness, and helmet of salvation.

Moreover, help us to keep you first in all that we do or speak.

“Do not adorn yourselves outwardly by braiding your hair and by wearing gold ornaments or fine clothing.”

“Rather, let your adornment be the inner self with the lasting beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.” 1 Peter 3:3-4

A COST FOR ACTIONS AND INACTIONS

Father, I give you all the praise for another day that was not promised. I’m also beyond grateful for second chances to turn my wrongs into rights.

Father, help all to understand that there is always a cost for their actions or inactions. Help all to examine themselves daily with your holy word as their light to guide them through all darkness.

“For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:5-8
