GOD’S PEACE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING

Father, praise your holy name for another 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 give you all praise for another blessed day and the opportunity to make a difference.

They smile because you continue to provide, guide, protect, and direct them despite their shortcomings.

They praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ, because, despite their sins, your love has never wavered. They pray for forgiveness and the fortitude to continue to put you first despite the obstacles, temptations, and distractions that they encounter in life.

Father, help all to build a genuine relationship with you by searching and studying the scriptures to gain the spiritual connection and guidance that they long to have with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to further build a strong and God-fearing relationship with you, where they become awakened and are able to share your Holy Word with all whom they come into contact with in every walk of life. Moreover, help all to gain a better understanding of your guidance and understanding, and experience peace beyond all understanding.

“And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
Phillipians 4:7-8

ONE IN CHRIST JESUS

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they first say a prayer of thankfulness for providing them another opportunity to change their ways and commit to serving you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They know that had it not been for you, they would not have become the person that you had orchestrated them to become. Through life’s most difficult experiences, you have never failed them. Despite what others may perceive as failing them, many understand that you know all things and have established a day and time for everyone to be born and for their demise.

Father, help everyone to understand that time does not wait for one to get their lives together. Therefore, repent and confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and be spiritually born again in the grave water of baptism for the remission of sin and to become one with Christ.

“For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:27-28

Father, help all to understand that the time is here to not only hear your Holy Word but to obey, worship, pray, and teach others through their actions.

“And may your hearts be fully committed to the LORD, our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.” 1 Kings 8:61

AIMING TO CONTINOUSLY, PLEASE GOD

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 another blessed day in Christ that was not promised. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant.

When they were challenged beyond measure, you allowed them to resist temptation and hold on to your unchanging hands during both the good and the bad.

When they were constantly overwhelmed with feelings of hatred and jealousy from those whom they loved and thought loved them as well, they realized that your love for them, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is the only love that is permanent without stipulations.

Father, help all to realize that you know and see all things; therefore, keep living life aiming to please you. Help them to leave all worries and concerns with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, as they follow the path that you have established for them.

“So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.”
2 Corinthians 5:9–11

WITHSTANDING THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your grace and mercy. Because of you, they are able to make it through their most trying moments and turn their sadness into happiness.

Father, help all to understand that, throughout their darkest moments, they should continue to forgive others and trust in you for all things. Help all to further understand that although no one is perfect in this world and all sin and fall short of your glory, it does not mean that one has to continue accepting and allowing others to hurt them emotionally, physically, or mentally. Therefore, separate themselves from anyone who does not love, respect, and/or treat them as if they matter.

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: . . . a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
