BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!

Father, I give you all the praise for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise as well. They know that despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive and redirect their path. They know that the good that has been done for or to them has been because of your grace and mercy. They know that their not-so-good days are only bearable because of you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, they continue to push through their pain, obstacles, depression, challenges, and anxiety knowing that you have never forsaken them and will always come through for them.

Father, help all to realize that you, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are the reason for their existence, deliverance, perseverance, and hope. Help all to know that once they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior through words and deeds, they are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.” Ephesians 1:7

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” Peter 1:18-19

GOD SAW US AS WORTHY

Father, I give thanks to you this blessed morning for another opportunity to get it right 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 continued blessings and favor.

Despite not deserving such favor, “You thought that we were worthy, so you came and changed our lives, you thought we were worth keeping, so you cleaned us up inside, you thought we were worthy to die for, so you sacrificed your life, so we could be free, we could be whole, and we can tell everyone we know.”

Father, help all to realize how blessed they are despite what they experience.

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8

“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.” Ephesians 1:5

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2

REPENTANCE IS ESSENTIAL FOR SALVATION

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

Father, as many have awakened and are blessed to witness this beautiful morning, your love makes them whole. Despite their shortcomings, your love never wavers. Despite their sins, you allow them an opportunity to repent of their sins, and after their true repentance, you forgive them of such sins.

Father, help all to understand that you see and know all things. Help them to understand that there is nothing ever hidden from you; therefore, repent of their sins and pray for your continued guidance, grace, and mercy.

“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”

When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles, God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
Acts 11:15-18

WHO ARE YOU TRUSTING?

They understand that trials and tribulations will come; however, because of your grace and mercy, they are protected and able to make it through their trials, heartaches, challenges, tribulations, and darkest experiences.

TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED

Father, I am giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ! I’m grateful for an opportunity to get it right. I’m grateful for your unconditional love. I’m grateful for the ability to repent of my sins and start anew. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, so that we can have everlasting life in heaven.

Father, help all who do not believe in you and/or your Son, Jesus Christ, due to listening to others whose hearts are far from you and your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that tomorrow is never promised. Therefore, cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily.

Help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly in accordance with your holy word. Help them to understand that it’s not themselves but your holy spirit who guides, protects, uplifts, restores, and renews their body, mind, and soul.

“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.”
James 4:13-16

ARE YOU FALLING SHORT?

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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy.

As they evaluate their actions in life, to include relationships, family, and loved ones, all in accordance with the Holy Word.

They realized that they have been so focused on satisfying their own wants and needs that they focus on showing themselves approved, rightfully dividing the word of God.

Because of the aforementioned, they no longer struggle from their stance that it’s all about themselves and what they want instead of what you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, expects from them; they continue to fall short of your glory as well as the future you have established for them.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:23-26

THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD

Father, praise your holy name 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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings and favor.

They understand that nothing is possible in life without you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that all blessings come from you, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, they walk in faith during the good and the bad, knowing that you have never forsaken them.

Father, help all to put on the whole armor of God to ensure that they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil, as well as continue following the path that you have established for them.

“Finally, my brothers, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:10-13
