GRATEFULNESS TO GOD THROUGH JESUS 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 fall to their knees in prayer to thank you for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life. Despite their sins, you continue to forgive and redirect their steps to the path of righteousness.

As they repent of their sins and pray for your continued guidance, they understand that once they truly give themselves to you in totality through your Son, Jesus Christ, your Holy Spirit will further direct their steps.

Father, help all to be wise in all of their decision-making as well as their associations.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Thessalonians 5:16-18

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.

GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH IT ALL

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to thank you for the gift of life and the strength to push through their mental and physical woes. They thank you for the ability to remain focused on their goal of helping others through their own experiences in life. They understand that nothing in life is promised; therefore, they continue to trust in you for all things.

At the point where they wanted to give up, you gave them a reason to smile. At the time they wanted to isolate themselves, you allowed them to find comfort in socializing with loved ones as well as strangers. When they hesitated when it came to trusting others, you allowed them to have peace within their soul. When they were overwhelmed because of their hidden disabilities, you allowed them to push through by focusing on your ultimate purpose.

Father, help all to realize that as long as they put you first, all will work out for the good of those who love you, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to know that there is a greater purpose for their trials and tribulations; therefore, never give up on life.

“Let us then, with confidence, draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

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.

“In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9

They know that if it had not been for you, through your Son Jesus Christ, they would not have made it through this week to experience this set-apart day to worship you in spirit and in truth.

They know that there is no greater healing power than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to cling closely to you during the good and the bad. Help them know that you will never forsake them. Help them to keep their minds on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, at all times.

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCES

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

Father, as many have awakened on this beautiful morning, they sing praises to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, for granting them another day to make a difference.

Instead of doing the same thing and expecting different results, they pause to evaluate their goals and accomplishments, as well as their shortcomings and setbacks. They understand that they cannot change what has occurred, but they can learn from their various experiences of heartaches, pains, setbacks, and setups.

Father, help all to realize that through you and your Son, Jesus Christ, they are renewed and restored daily. Father, help all to come to you for all things, realizing that all prayers are answered in your timing in conjunction with the timing of whoever requests your help.

Instead of dwelling on what has not been obtained or accomplished, they focus on the holy word and your continued blessings. Had it not been for such blessings, they would not have been able to endure the trials and maintain their righteous state of mind.

Father, help all to start each day anew, focusing on your blessings and ensuring that they do not take their blessings for granted. Help them to understand that nothing in life is perfect or promised; therefore, focus on their blessing to witness another day and to accomplish their goals in life, as well as helping others to accomplish their goals.
