TRUSTING IN THE LORD FOR ALL THINGS

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 pause to give you praise and glorify your holy name. Because of you, they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, they forget about the woes in life and focus on their blessings. They know that despite their experiences in life, you have never forsaken them and continuously uplift, restore, renew, and guide them to peace and serenity.

Father, help all to understand that if there are no challenges in their lives, there is neither growth nor dependability on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song, I praise him.” Psalm 28:7

“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” Psalm 9:10

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. Because of you, they are able to withstand the ups and downs of life and turn their difficulties into lessons learned. Because of you, they are able to look past the evil that others have towards them and pray for their wellbeing.

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

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.

Father, help all to realize that you are the key to happiness during their most difficult experiences.

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

Father, help all to realize that there is nothing in life that is worth having that causes them to be perturbed. However, despite their circumstances, they are and will always be victorious in your Son, Jesus Christ.

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
