ALWAYS CLING TO GOD

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Despite their sins, you continue to forgive and help them redirect their path.

Father, help all to understand that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to remain steadfast in prayer during their good and bad experiences. Help them to understand that you know and see all things; therefore, examine themselves daily, repent of their sins, and always cling to your unchanging hands.

“You shall follow the Lord your God and fear Him; and you shall keep His commandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and cling to Him.” Deuteronomy 13:4

FIX YOUR EYES ON GOD

Father, I give you all the praise and glory for another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your continued blessings.

Father, as many have started their morning journey, they pause to thank you for your love, blessings, and protection. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it so abundantly. Therefore, they continue to focus on the positives despite the various sources of negativity.

Father, help all to fix their eyes on you and your wondrous favor, grace, mercy, joy, protection, forgiveness, and peace beyond understanding. Help all to seek your approval, not the approval of men or women who cannot control or direct their own path in life.

“Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God’s throne.” Hebrews 12:2

Help them to give all worries, sickness, troubles, and/or disappointments to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Moreover, help them to know and understand that you are an ever-present help in times of need.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” Psalm 46:1-3

GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your love and protection.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they are filled with your Holy Spirit. They are focused on turning their wrongs into rights: sadness to happiness, and despair to joy. They are also determined to ‘brake the chain around them so that nobody else can bind them’.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are essential in their lives. Help them to understand that your Holy Spirit, which dwells within, “guides us by calling us into relationship with Jesus. The Spirit guides us by purging our sinful urges and growing his fruits. The Spirit guides us with the truth of his written word. The Spirit guides us through the process of godly discernment.”

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:22-24).

CHOOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS OVER SINFULNESS

Father, I’m giving you all the glory 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 say a prayer of thanksgiving. They smile because you not only protected them as they slept but also provided them with the gift of life. Although they sin and fall short of your glory daily, you continue to allow them an opportunity to repent, confess their sins, and change their lives, beginning with a changed heart and mindset. Instead of sinning purposefully, they pray for your divine direction and forgiveness. Although all sin and fall short of your glory daily, they are more intentional about applying your holy word to their lives.

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to choose righteousness over sinfulness. Help all to further understand that lip service without action is just words used in vain.

“The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouths and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.” Isaiah 29:13

THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE!

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 pause to praise and uplift your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.

Father, help all who have lost faith in your holy word. Help them to know that when they are not strong in faith, that is when they are tempted and are more likely to fall prey to the tactics of Satan. Therefore, remain strong, steadfast, and trusting in you as you clothe them with the breastplate of righteousness, walking in confidence that no weapons formed against them will prosper. Help them to cling closely to your unchanging, praying for the forgiveness of their sins as well as for discernment, guidance, direction, protection, and continued faith.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile, for they know that it is only by your grace that they have life.

Through him, all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:1-5
