GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART, SO STAY CONSTANT

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to allow them to withstand the wiles of the devil. Despite their love for all, your love is the only constant in their life. Despite their concern and care for everyone, you are the only one who reciprocates this.

Father, help all who are continuously fulfilling the needs of others; however, such care is never provided or reciprocated.

Moreover, help all who experience the aforementioned to continue to be the people you have ordained them to be. In addition, instead of being angry or hurt, help them to continue to do your will through it all.

“But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7

GOD WILL SUSTAIN YOU

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 sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. It is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life and have it more abundantly. Despite their trials, heartaches, sickness, troubles, sadness, pain, and/or difficulties, you continue to give them the strength to push through it all with gratitude.

They know that if it were not for you, through Jesus Christ, they would not have made it this far. Therefore, they give you all their troubles, obstacles, darkness, and difficulties, realizing that you allow them to smile despite their despair.

Father, help all to not allow their pains in life to stop them from living life fearlessly and abundantly. Help all to overcome their personal darkness with your light. Help them to further understand that you have not given them the spirit of fear and/or self-doubt.

“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:2, ESV

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they send praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, do not faint when troubles arise, for “You have been given the God-power within you to have the good you desire.” Luke 17:21

TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOD THROUGH 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 pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life. They know that your love is never-ending; therefore, they continue to push through negativity, darkness, difficulties, and other distractions through their faith and dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know that there will be days where they may want to give up; however, they must remember that the trials in life are tests or measures needed to push them to a total dependence upon you through Christ, and not a dependence upon themselves or man.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9–10

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

AN EVER-PRESENT GOD

Father, give you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the ability to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have started their #SONday journey, they smile, for they have been blessed to witness another beautiful morning that is never promised. Their hearts are filled with joy, for they continue to receive your blessings that are beyond measure.

When they are sad, you lift their spirits. When they are lonely, you let them know that you are always present. When they doubt, you confirm your will for them. When they begin to trail a path of destruction, you redirect their thoughts and their walk.

Father, help all to truly understand that you are ever-present and will always love, direct, and protect them.

THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, ‘Thank You’. It is only by your grace that they have another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them is never-ending. Therefore, they have made a commitment to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, to break the chain of intentional sins and live righteously. They know it is easier said than done; however, all things are possible with you.

Father, help all to understand that the beginning of change starts in the heart or mind of those who want to live according to your holy word and not to the things that cause glorification in themselves.

Father, help all to choose righteousness over intentional sins.

WHOSE TIMING ARE YOU TRUSTING?

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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life. They know that today would not have been possible had it not been for your grace and mercy. Despite their falling short of your glory, you continue to forgive, provide for, protect, and carry them through their ups and downs in life. They now know that there is nothing in life that is worth having if they have to live unrighteously to gain it.

Father, help all to understand that everyone has choices to make daily. Help them to understand that the choices that they make today may not only rule their tomorrow, but they could affect their life. Therefore, I pray to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

Help them to further understand that you have all power and authority over all things, situations, and life itself. Therefore, put all their hope, faith, and trust in you for all things, remembering that your timing does not always coincide with theirs.
