A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

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

As they arise, they say a prayer of thanksgiving, knowing that with you and through your Son, Jesus Christ, no weapons formed against them will prosper. Despite their intentions, they often fall short of your expectations. However, your love never wavers. You continue to bestow blessings upon them as they repent and pray for your continued guidance, grace, and mercy.

Father, help all to understand that you know all things and to include their thoughts. Therefore, repent of their sins and focus on doing that which pleases you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to also understand that tomorrow is never promised; therefore, focus on doing that, which leads to a greater relationship with you through Jesus Christ.

“Come close to God, and he will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” James 4:8

ADORN YOURSELF WITH GOD’S LOVE

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 begun their morning journey, they sing praises of joy and happiness.

Despite their circumstances, they smile because you have allowed them another day to make a difference. Instead of dwelling on their trials and tribulations, they push through their troubles and focus on their blessings. Instead of worrying about pleasing those who are only concerned with or about themselves, they focus on doing your will for the betterment of all situations.

Father, help all to take time daily to wholeheartedly examine themselves. Help them to understand that life is full of ups and downs, challenges, pain, joy, happiness, and sadness.

However, with you, they are able to push through all obstacles as they adorn themselves with your armor and shield, your helmet of salvation, and your breastplate of righteousness.

“Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel—rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.” 1 Peter 3:3–4

“After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”
1 Peter 5:10

Father, please help all who continue to experience turmoil in their lives to realize that you are faithful and will always be present to cover, protect, guide, direct, restore, and renew. Help them to call on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and cling to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad.
