GOD’S UNSURPASSING LOVE

Father, give you all the praise 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 pause to say, “Thank you,” through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Therefore, instead of complaining about their mishaps and/or circumstances, they smile as they walk in faith, knowing that you are their peace and happiness and the cause of their increased faith, regardless of any condition, atmosphere, and/or situation.

Father, help all to lean unto you for all understandings. Help them to know that despite their challenges, insecurities, darkness, and/or difficulties in life, you are always present and will continuously direct, guide, restore, renew, and love beyond understanding.

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:16-19

WHAT PATH ARE YOU WALKING?

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to praise your holy name and give you all the glory.

They are grateful for your precious gift of life. They know that there is no other love that can compare to yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, they put aside all things and thoughts that may cause them to sway away from worshipping you in spirit and in truth.

Although they still fall short of your glory, they continue to push through their temptations, focusing on your holy word so that you can redirect their path.

Father, help all to see through the many untruths that are intertwined in the words that sound good but are opposite of what you have purposed for them. Help all to search the scriptures daily, rightly dividing your holy word, to make sure they are walking the path that you have established for them.

“This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’ I appointed watchmen over you and said, ‘Listen to the sound of the trumpet!” Jeremiah 6:16–20 NIV

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

A SPIRITUAL RENEWAL

Father, give you all the praise and glory for another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they know that it is only by your grace that they have life this morning. Despite their shortcomings, your love never diminishes, and your blessings continuously overflow.

They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they are present in the body and are fully connected with your Holy Spirit. When they know to do right but continue to do wrong, they are convicted within their heart, soul, and mind to repent of their sins, ask for forgiveness, and ask for your divine direction to do that which is right in accordance with your holy word.

Father, help us all to spend more time with you by studying your word. Help us all to righteously apply knowledge to the areas of their lives that will eventually result in a spiritual renewal.

In addition, help all “To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”
Ephesians 4:22-24

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
