GROWING CLOSER TO GOD

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they send praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another morning that was not promised. As they arise, they know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it so abundantly.

Despite their aches and pains, setbacks, heartaches, challenges, and difficulties, they move forward, knowing that there is a greater purpose for all things. Therefore, if they just cling to you and do not lean on their own standing, all things will work out for their good.

Father, help us all to be grateful despite our downs in life. Moreover, help all to understand that if there were no downs in life, there would be no growth, as well as no dependency on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” When we seek God with all of our hearts and draw near to Him, we will feel His presence once again.” James 4:8

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they first praise your holy name for another opportunity to get it right.
