KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LORD!

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life and your continued blessings!

They are grateful to you for allowing them to awaken and see another day.

They have repented of their sins and prayed that they would be led by your holy spirit, but despite knowing what to do, they continue to do whatever it takes to gain worldly approval, not spiritual approval.

They say whatever sounds good to place them in the light; however, their inner being is filled with darkness and deceitfulness.

They look the part, but forget that regardless of what others may perceive, you know all things.

They gloat at the misfortunes of others, although they are consistently lifted by you during their darkest moments.

They compete against others while secretly watching their progress in life as well as your favor over their life.

They hate when others, who have a genuine relationship with you, praise you for their good as well as their bad.

However, they still choose to seek favor from those who are accepted, worshipped, and put upon a pedestal because of their popularity and/or association with a particular group, class, and/or title.

Father, help all to tread carefully. Help them understand that you know, see, and hear everything. Moreover, no person can atone for their sins. Therefore, keep their minds on you in all areas of life.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3

A TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

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

Father, as many have been blessed to witness another day in Christ, they sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to guide, protect, renew, and restore. Despite their adversities, you continue to sustain them through their darkness, oppression, and/or setbacks.

Father, help everyone to understand that nothing in life is promised; therefore, mintain and/or establish a true relationship with you through your Son Jesus Christ. Father, help them to also know that your love is never-ending. Therefore, cling closely to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, for all things and/or situations.

“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”
Romans 8:7-10

NEVER PUT OFF FOR TOMORROW

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning. I’m grateful for your light through the darkness.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to praise you for another day that was not promised. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. They understand that they are given many second chances throughout life. Therefore, instead of taking such for granted, they pause to pray for your continued discernment, guidance, direction, and protection.

Father, help all to take time out of their day to truly connect with you through your Son Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that life is not promised, so never put off for tomorrow what can be resolved or accomplished today.

“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” James 4:13-14

PROTECT YOUR PEACE

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 thank you for another day that was not promised. They know that it is only by your grace that they are in their right state of mind and are focused on serving you through your Son Jesus Christ. Despite their adversaries, they push through adversities, understanding that all things are possible with you. In addition, they know that you have covered them with your breastplate of righteousness.

Father, help all to focus on the things that bring glory to you and sunshine in their life. Help them to know their limits and to separate themselves from anyone who dampens their spirit.

“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

AS GOD HAS PURPOSED

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your unconditional love and ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, for all can have salvation. Despite their shortcomings, your love never dissipates.

Father, please help all to never take your grace, mercy, and love for granted.

Help them to examine themselves daily and always judge themselves in accordance with your holy word, and leave the judgement of others to you.

Help all to understand that you know and see all things. Therefore, do what, and be who, you have purposed for them.

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”
~2 Timothy 1:8-11
