ARE YOU DEPENDING ON A CLOCK WITHOUT BATTERIES?

Father, I give you all the praise 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 also praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. They are grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

Father, many will praise your holy name as the alarm clock strikes to awaken them. However, as they awaken to witness another day that was not promised, they fail to realize that there is not an awakening by the alarm clock alone, but by your grace and mercy allowing them to hear the alarm clock as they are asleep.

Father, help all to be careful depending upon worldly gadgets to do what only you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, can do, have done, or allow to come to fruition. Help them to understand that life without you, your Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit is like a clock without batteries.

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

“The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.” Psalm 18:2

“People depend on God for everything.” Psalm 104:27

THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES ALL WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS

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 pause to think about your continued blessings, despite their shortcomings. Instead of allowing them to live in a state of depression due to their actions or inactions, you forgive them after their true repentance. You continue to love, uplift, protect, and guide them through their difficulties and to the path that you have established for them before they were even conceived by their parents. Your love is never-ending and always abounding.

Father, help all to understand your purpose for them. Help them to realize that they are not here by happenstance because you have established their purpose prior to their conception.

Father, help all to truly look at themselves from within, not how they believe they are seen from the viewpoint of others. Help them to read your holy word and compare their thoughts and actions to it. Moreover, help all to establish a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, so that the Holy Spirit can guide their thoughts and their steps.

“Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He told His disciples that He would send one who would teach and guide all those who believe in Him (Acts 1:5; John 14:26; 16:7). Jesus’ promise was fulfilled less than two weeks later when the Holy Spirit came in power on the believers at Pentecost (Acts 2).”

THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Father, I am giving you all the praise for allowing me to witness another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning routine, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t occurred or what did occur, they focus on the blessings that you continue to bestow upon them, despite their good or bad.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves throughout the day to determine who they are representing, you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, or Satan.

Father, help all to understand that prayer is needed throughout the day to better guide them to the path of righteousness.

“And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.” Philippians 3:9.

UNDERSTANDING THE DEVIL’S WILES

Father, as many have awakened and are blessed to experience another beautiful day in Christ, they praise you for your grace and mercy. They know that it is only because of your agape love that they are present in the body.

As they settle into their routine, they think about how you continue to bless them despite their shortcomings. You continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and direct them to the path of righteousness. They know that there is no other love like yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Therefore, they focus on putting you first in their lives.

Father, help all who follow those of the world and allow them to easily influence their walk in life. Help them to understand that there is no other love that can compare to yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Moreover, help all to realize that you have already chosen them. Therefore, they should always serve you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to remain steadfast in your holy word to withstand the wiles of the devil.

“Finally, my brethren, 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.” Ephesians 6:10-11

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

A CHOSEN PATH

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 begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have been given another opportunity to make a difference. Therefore, they pray a prayer of repentance and thankfulness. They focus more on glorifying you through your Son, Jesus Christ, than glorifying themselves or others on earth. They recognize that there is nothing in life that they have accomplished, achieved, provided, gained, or earned without you. Therefore, they continue to trust in you for all things, including your daily guidance, direction, protection, healing, and spiritual renewal.

Father, help all to realize that all goodness comes from you. Help them understand that you know all things and have prepared a path that is best for each person. However, some give in to the thirst of the flesh and choose to walk the path that leads to destruction instead of the path that leads to salvation.

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11
