THE LORD IS IN YOUR MIDST

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 are beginning their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise and glory for another day to get it right. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. Therefore, they commit to serving you wholeheartedly, despite the woes of life that they have experienced or will experience.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly to determine whether they are in alignment with your holy word. 

Help them to understand that you are always present in their midst, abounding in love, and protecting them as they walk the battlefield of evil, sickness, jealousy, envy, covetousness, manipulation, difficulties, and/or setbacks.

“The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.”
Zephaniah 3:17

AN ABUNDANT LIFE 

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your forgiveness and direction in life. 

Father, as many have awakened to witness this beautifully blessed day, they sing praises to you for your continued presence in their lives. They know that had it not been for your agape love, guidance, and peace beyond understanding, they wouldn’t have been able to push through obstacles and challenges. Therefore, instead of dwelling on their imperfections, they are transformed by the renewing of their mind, the love from you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and the peace that is derived from having a Savior who answers prayers, provides peace, and always leads them to the path of righteousness.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are and will always be present in their lives. Help all to know that you come so that they may have life and have it more abundantly.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT 

Father, I praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and continued guidance.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pray a prayer of thanksgiving and gratitude.  They understand that they were awakened today only because of your grace and mercy. They vow to keep you first and pray that you continue to lead, direct, and keep them as they journey throughout their daily and nightly journey. They pray for forgiveness of their sins and pray for the willpower to withstand temptation and the wiles of the devil. They also pray for the willpower to remain steadfast in your holy word despite their challenges and/or woes in life. 

Father, help all to depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. Help them understand that with you, they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, shake loose the burdens that cause them to walk in darkness with Satan and focus on filling their minds with godliness, obedience, and faithfulness as they walk in the light with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

“You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. With your help, I can advance against a troop; with my God, I can scale a wall. As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.”
Psalms 18:28–30 NIV

RELYING ON GOD

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another day in Christ, they give you all the praise for another day to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive after true repentance and lead them to a place of peace and serenity. Instead of allowing Satan’s tactics to take them off course, they pray fervently, putting all their faith in you, knowing that no weapons formed against them will prosper. 

Father, help all to rely upon you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all situations, setbacks, difficulties, and/or struggles within. Help them understand that your love is incomparable to anyone’s on earth. Moreover, help all to understand that you are always abounding, never-ending, and forever loving.

“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. Philippians 2:12-18

GOD’S TRUTH AND DELIVERANCE 

Father, thank you for another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another day in Christ.  It is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly.  

Despite their shortcomings, you continue to direct their path toward what you have intended for them. They realize that they never have to depend on men because you continuously provide, protect, restore, renew, and love them unconditionally. They know that despite how things appear, you are always working things out for the good of those who love you in accordance with your holy word.  

Father, help all to realize that there is no life without you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.  Help them to further realize that all blessings come from you, and there is nothing gained by chance alone but always by your divine grace and mercy. 

Father, help all to turn from their self-centered ways, focusing on themselves and how others see them instead of how you see them. Help all to understand that there is a time and season for all things; therefore, adorn themselves in your truths and deliverance from this wicked world, always aiming to please you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and not man.

DEPENDING ON THE LORD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.”  If it were not for your love, grace, and mercy, they would not be able to withstand their downs in life. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not go right, they focus on the experience and lessons learned. Instead of focusing on negativity, they understand that they have to learn to take the bad with the good because nothing in life is perfect. 

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to allow their circumstances to dictate their walk in life, or they can give all their worries to you, readjust their mindset, and push forward knowing that you will never forsake them nor allow them to become overly burdened by things or situations that they have no control over.

Help them to further understand that you are a constant in their lives. Therefore, keep depending on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”                                Psalm 121:1-2

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.”

GOD’S EVER-PRESENT AND NEVER-ENDING LOVE

Because of your grace and mercy, they have life and have it more abundantly.  Despite their shortcomings, you continue to answer their prayers and direct their path.  

When they are desolate, you embrace them with your never-ending love, peace, and joy. When they are doubtful, you bring their answered prayers to memory. When they are tired, you provide mental and physical rest.

Father, help all to understand that you are always present in their lives; therefore, establish and maintain a relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Help all to further understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the answer to all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, disappointments, failures, as well as trials and tribulations. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God and pray continually and consistently as they walk in faith, knowing that you are always present and your love is neverending. 

“Because of the LORD’s great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore, I will wait for him.”

THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS AND INTERCEDES

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

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 know that it is only by your grace that they are able to continuously push through their challenges. 
Instead of giving up or giving in, they pray for your divine intervention, direction, and resolve through all circumstances. They understand that change is necessary for growth, direction, and, most of all, a firm dependence upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

Father, help all to realize that a true relationship with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is essential. Help them to begin by studying your holy word to show themselves approved. Help them to then apply knowledge to their hearts and minds, realizing that you come so that all may have life and have it more abundantly. 

Moreover, help all to remain firm in faith, knowing that the enemy will attempt to discourage, cause division, doubt, and confusion. However, your Holy Spirit will always guide, direct, and intercede on their behalf.

“Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27
