GOD-ABOUNDING LOVE

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

Father, as many have been blessed to witness another day in Christ, they pause to give you all the praise for your unconditional love. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it so abundantly. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, and guide. Despite their sins, you continue to redirect their path. Despite their sickness, they know and therefore continuously shout out that they are victorious in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your holy spirit, direct, carry, and sustain them through their ups as well as their downs. Help them to understand that you will never forsake them; therefore, continue to push through life experiences, knowing that you are all powerful, forever protecting, never forsaking, and always abounding.

“You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.” Psalm 86:5-6

“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:8

TEMPORARY VERSUS PERMANENT HAPPINESS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the glory for your unwavering love and protection. Because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they not only have life but have it abundantly. Despite their daily struggles, they are blessed with the ability to call upon your holy name when their burdens become heavy and/or unbearable. They know that you will never forsake them, and you will always protect, guide, direct, and restore them.

Father, help all to realize that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the aforementioned love is never-ending and always abounding. Therefore, instead of depending on the favor and/or the ability of man to cause their temporary happiness, put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for permanent happiness.

“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

2 Corinthians 4:16–18

PRAY FOR GOD’S PROTECTION 

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning, they concentrate on the blessings instead of the downs of life. They understand that there is always a greater purpose for all things that occur. Some repercussions are greater than others; however, choosing to depend totally on you allows your children to lay all their burdens, heartaches, pain, challenges, and anxiety on you.

Father, help all to trust in you, for you know all things, and your love is genuine and never-ending. Help all to understand that jealousy and covetousness are instilled in those who claim to be the closest to them. Therefore, always pray for your armor and shield to protect them from the wiles of the devil.

“He said, “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield, my saving strength, my defender, and my place of safety. The Lord saves me from those who want to harm me. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies.”

2 Samuel 22: 2-4

Instead of allowing their circumstances to depict their future, they trust that you will continue to encamp your angels around them as you embrace them with your armor and shield to protect, guide, and direct.

Father, help all to understand that your love is never-ending, pure, flawless, and constant. Help all to seek you and not the things of this world, for what is of the world is temporary, and what is of you is never-ending.

Father, help all to understand that you came so that all may have life and have it more abundantly.

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:28-30

Father, help all to evaluate themselves to understand that it is not just them who have made their dreams come to fruition; it is your holy spirit, which dwells within them, that has allowed them to redirect their path through their darkness, trials, sickness, troubles, and strongholds, as well as through lightness, tests, wellness, peace, and joy.

“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5

GIVE IT ALL TO GOD 

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life today.

Father, help all to understand that they must remain focused on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for nothing is possible without you. Help them to understand that you came so that they may have life and have it more abundantly. Help them to further understand that once they give all their problems to you, they will experience the relief and peace that they so badly desire.

“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 4:6-7
