EMBRACING THE HOLY SPIRIT

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 have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings.
They know that it is only because of your agape love that they have life and have it more abundantly.

Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, and renew their walk in life.

Father, help all to never allow anyone or anything to distract them from their commitment and focus on serving you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to embrace your Holy Spirit during the good and the bad, knowing that He intercedes for all as they pray.

“We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32

“And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” Romans 8:11

CHOOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS OVER SINFULNESS

Father, I’m giving you all the glory for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say a prayer of thanksgiving. They smile because you not only protected them as they slept but also provided them with the gift of life. Although they sin and fall short of your glory daily, you continue to allow them an opportunity to repent, confess their sins, and change their lives, beginning with a changed heart and mindset. Instead of sinning purposefully, they pray for your divine direction and forgiveness. Although all sin and fall short of your glory daily, they are more intentional about applying your holy word to their lives.

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to choose righteousness over sinfulness. Help all to further understand that lip service without action is just words used in vain.

“The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouths and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.” Isaiah 29:13
