ARE YOU ALIGNED WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?

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 of your gift of life. Because of you, they have another opportunity to get it right in accordance with your holy word. They confess their sins and pray for your divine intervention, direction, protection, guidance, peace, and joy. They understand that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body and are able to confess their sins, repent, be baptized, and put forth all their effort to remain steadfast, focused, and obedient as they walk in accordance with your holy word. Although not perfect, their efforts, combined with your holy powers, allow them to continue walking the path that you have established for them.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily and pray for the areas in their lives that do not align with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“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 and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

GOD AWAITS YOUR CALL

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your forgiveness, direction, protection, peace, and continued favor.

They smile through their trials and tribulations because they know that without such experiences, there is no growth. Without growth, many settle and become complacent, pleasing their flesh instead of their soul.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to ensure that they are in alignment with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them understand that, although you are always present, you await their call.

Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.” Psalm 37:7

REBUKING THE EVIL SPIRIT

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you praise for your continued blessings. They know that it is only because of your unfailing love that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the daily blessings that you continue to bestow on them.

In addition, they adorn themselves with your breastplate of righteousness, understanding that you have control over all things, people, and situations.

Father, help all to stop allowing the evil spirit to cause them to question their peace and happiness.

Help them know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, will forever love, embrace, support, protect, guide, and direct them to a place of peace, happiness, harmony, and serenity.

Help them to also know that anything that is opposite to the aforementioned is not of you or your Son, Jesus Christ.

“And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Matthew 17:18-20

FOCUSING ON WHAT IS

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 pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness. They understand that it is only by your grace that they have life this morning. Therefore, instead of allowing their circumstances to dictate their mood, they pray for protection, guidance, direction, peace, joy, love, and that your will for them is done.

Father, help all who are continuously reliving what could have been instead of what is. Help all to know that they should not lean on their own understanding, for you have a purpose for all things and/or experiences. Moreover, help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through their good and their bad days.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Philippians 4:8

GLORIFYING GOD, DESPITE IT ALL

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 praise for your continued protection, guidance, direction, peace, and joy, despite their shortcomings.

They pause to glorify you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for never forsaking them, despite their inconsistencies.

Father, thank you for providing everyone with the various trials that they have endured, for the lessons learned from such trials have allowed them to become more dependent upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

In addition, Father, thank you for the gift of life. Thank you for your grace and mercy. Thank you for allowing them many chances to become the God-fearing man or woman that you have orchestrated them to become. Thank you for your continued grace and mercy.

“Therefore, by Him, let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” Hebrews 13:15-16

Father, help all to understand that life is better with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Although they continue to experience heartache and troubles, their faith in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, brings them through unharmed.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38–39

Therefore, they pray for the forgiveness of their sins, both known and unknown. They also pray for your continued divine direction, through their good as well as their not-so-good days.

Father, help all to understand the importance of a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them understand that with you, they can endure all things. Moreover, help them to have a pure heart and a clean conscience, depending on you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

A GREATER PURPOSE

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning in Christ, they pray a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what went wrong or what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the gift of life and your continued blessings, guidance, direction, peace, grace, and direction.

They understand that there will be trials as well as tribulations; however, your love for them remains constant. They know that despite their challenges in life, you continue to see them through all circumstances and push them to greatness.

Father, help all to realize that you are the key to happiness during their most difficult experiences. Help them to also understand that there is a greater purpose for their experiences, which will soon be revealed. Therefore, remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, trusting in you for all things.

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:13-20

TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the peace and serenity that you provide to your children during their most difficult experiences.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they fall to their knees in prayer. Despite their worldly success, they feel defeated because their spiritual being is starving for a stronger connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. However, they fail to study your holy word. They cling to others whose hearts are far from yours. They act as if they are ashamed to be Christians in front of those who do not believe in you, but they call out your holy name when they are alone.

Father, help all to know that they cannot serve you and Satan. Help them to pray for discernment, guidance, direction, and peace, and to study your holy word daily. Help them to understand that tomorrow is never promised.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Suffficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:33-34

ACQUIRING CHARACTERISTICS TO TRANSFORM MINDSET

Father, as many have begun their daily journey, they give you all the praise for this blessed day and the New Year in Jesus Christ. Despite their sins, you continue to bless them with the gift of life. Because of you, they are filled with joy, peace, direction, and happiness. They pray that your will is done despite them projecting their own wants and needs over the plans you have orchestrated for them.

Father, help all to understand that you are to be honored and glorified daily as they open their eyes and arise from sleep. Help all to learn to please you wholeheartedly and more apprehensively as they aim to please those in the world. Moreover, help them obtain the characteristics that will transform their mindset.

“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 12:2
