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. It is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. It is only through your Son, Jesus Christ, that we are able to push through both the ups and downs in life.

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
