AIMING TO CONTINOUSLY, PLEASE GOD

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 give you all the glory for another blessed day in Christ that was not promised. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant.

When they were challenged beyond measure, you allowed them to resist temptation and hold on to your unchanging hands during both the good and the bad.

When they were constantly overwhelmed with feelings of hatred and jealousy from those whom they loved and thought loved them as well, they realized that your love for them, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is the only love that is permanent without stipulations.

Father, help all to realize that you know and see all things; therefore, keep living life aiming to please you. Help them to leave all worries and concerns with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, as they follow the path that you have established for them.

“So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.”
2 Corinthians 5:9–11

THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH

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 sing praises to you for another day that was not promised. They smile because you have never failed them. When their trials and tribulations were unbearable, you have always been there to carry them through their pain when such burdens made it impossible to move forward in their life.

When their fight to not give up or to give in caused them to experience more attacks, they continued to call on your name to pull them through and to a place of peace and happiness.

Father, help all to understand that you are indeed the answer to all of their problems. Therefore, draw closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Study to show yourself approved, rightly dividing your holy word, as they walk the straight and narrow path that leads to salvation.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Matthew 7:13–14
