HOW IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH 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 smile because you have allowed them to awaken to witness another beautiful morning that was not promised. They smile because you have cured their infirmities. They smile because you have granted them another opportunity to spread the gospel, despite their circumstances.

Father, help all to understand that a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, is pertinent to truly understanding happiness.

Help them also understand that no one on earth is perfect; therefore, remain steadfast in prayer and supplication as they push through adversities, obstacles, darkness, and/or difficulties.

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2

A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS ESSENTIAL!

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 the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them or led them astray.

DEPENDENCY ON 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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings.
Despite their sins, you forgive them after true repentance and guide them back to the path of righteousness.

When they were tempted by the pleasures of this world, you reminded them of their past experiences and how you brought them through such darkness as they called on your holy name.

Father, help all to know that you are always present and will never forsake them. Help them to depend upon you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE!

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 pause to praise and uplift your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. They know that it is only by grace that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t occurred, they walk forward in faith, knowing that, in your timing, all prayers will definitively lead to fruition.

They understand that you know all things and have power over all things. Therefore, they will continue to put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all who have lost faith in your holy word. Help them to know that when they are not strong in faith, that is when they are tempted and are more likely to fall prey to the tactics of Satan. Therefore, remain strong, steadfast, and trusting in you as you clothe them with the breastplate of righteousness, walking in confidence that no weapons formed against them will prosper. Help them to cling closely to your unchanging, praying for the forgiveness of their sins as well as for discernment, guidance, direction, protection, and continued faith.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

THE REWARDS OF A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed day in Christ! I’m grateful for your divine intervention.

As many have journeyed throughout this beautiful day, they thank you for your continued grace and mercy. When they are down, you always allow your son, Jesus Christ, to shine his light on them. When they are harboring over what has occurred in the past or that which has not come to fruition, you always show up and show out, right on time. Your blessings are never-ending, and your love always uplifts, restores, and renews them.

Father, help all to understand that there will be both good and bad experiences. Despite the good or bad, all experiences will have a way of better defining their path, walk, and destiny in this life.

Father, help all to focus on having a genuine and dependent relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to know that such relationships lead to pure happiness despite the negatives in their lives or in this world.

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

“For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:40

BECAUSE OF GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed set apart day in Christ. I’m grateful for the opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their #SONday journey, they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness. Because of you, through Christ, they have life and have it more abundantly. Because of you, they no longer worry about what tomorrow may bring because today’s blessings suffice.

Instead of doubting themselves, they cling to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things, because you have never forsaken them.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves to understand that it is not just them who have made their dreams come to fruition; it is your holy spirit, which dwells within them, that has allowed them to redirect their path through their darkness, trials, sickness, troubles, and strongholds, as well as through lightness, tests, wellness, peace, and joy.

“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5

CHOOSING GOD’S WAY

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you”. It is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Although some have fallen by the wayside due to focusing on what they see as happiness, they are more concerned with what is more pleasing to the mastiff than what pleases you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves based on what you desire from them instead of what is more desirable in the world.

“I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your ordinances before me.” Psalm 119:30

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pray a prayer of thankfulness. You continue to provide them with the greatest gift, the gift of life.

Therefore, instead of dwelling on what has occurred, they continue to focus on how you brought them through the turmoil that could have negativity altered their mindset and their ability to mentally move forward in life.

Father, help all to seek you during the good and bad, as well as their successes and failures. Help them to understand that a relationship with you builds them up physically, mentally, and spiritually.

“Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.”
2 John 1:9
