GREATER PURPOSE FOR ALL THINGS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they fall to their knees in prayer for bringing them through and to another blessed day in Christ. It is only because of your grace that they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil. Therefore, they continue to draw close to you for direction, guidance, protection, and discernment.

Father, help all to understand that you will never forsake them. Help them to understand that their experiences in life may seem unfair; however, they must know that you, through your Son Jesus Christ, have a greater purpose for all things.

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28

GOD’S HAS ALL CONTROL

Father, give you all praise for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love, protection, guidance, restoration, and peace.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their day, they smile because you have granted them another opportunity to get it right. They smile because they are able to examine themselves and determine where they have fallen short and repent of their sins. They smile because, despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive and redirect their path as well as their mindset.

Father, help all to understand that they always have a reason to smile, despite their pain, darkness, and/or difficulties in life. Help them to understand that with you, they have eternal life.

Father, help all to also realize that they can always depend upon you through their difficulties, because you control all things, situations, and people.

“In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.”
Ephesians 1:11-14

GOD KNOWS AND SEES ALL THINGS

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your gift of discernment.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to uplift your holy name for being present in their life daily. They understand that it is only because of your love for them that they are able to withstand the plans of the devil who usually works through those who are closest to them. Therefore, they continue to pray, obey, and move forward in life, knowing that no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all who have darkness, jealousy, envy, and covetousness within their heart. Help all who speak one thing, but do the opposite. Moreover, help them to understand that there is nothing done in secrecy that will not be revealed.

“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly, he shall go astray.” Proverbs 5:21-23

AN ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

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 pray a prayer of thankfulness. You continue to provide them with the greatest gift, the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and direct their steps to peace, joy, and have the willpower to continue pushing through adversities, obstacles, darkness, and setbacks. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what has occurred, they continue to focus on how you brought them through the turmoil that could have negativity altered their mindset and their ability to mentally move forward in life.

Father, help all to seek you during the good and bad, as well as their successes and failures. Help them to understand that a relationship with you builds them up physically, mentally, and spiritually.

“Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.”
2 John 1:9

CALLING ON JESUS’ NAME

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 have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank You “! They know that it is only because of your grace and mercy that they are able to witness this day. Therefore, they continue to surrender all to you. They know they must give all worries to you, for only you are able to direct their steps and set them free.

Father, help all to never allow their burdens to depict their talk, walk, and/or faith. Help all to always lean on you for understanding, reflection, and confidence. Help all to call on your name, for you will never forsake them.

“Now, why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.” Acts 22:16

“Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.” John 13

BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

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 have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant. They pray day and night to be able to do that which pleases you instead of that which pleases man. However, they understand that both good and bad experiences are needed to grow spiritually as well as get closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily in accordance with your holy word. Help them to always yield to temptation and put on the breastplate of righteousness daily.

“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:14-17

GOD’S ESTABLISHED PATH

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed #SONday! I’m grateful for your faithfulness.

Father, as many have begun this set aside day, to worship you and praise your holy name through your Son Jesus Christ, they are filled with joy and happiness. They know that it is only because of your love that they are able to push through the darkness that was meant to deplete their happiness as well as their love for you through your Son Jesus Christ. However, through it all, the darkness caused a total dependency upon you through Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to understand that there is a greater purpose for all things; therefore, pray constantly and depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, because their path has already been established.

“And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” Isaiah 58:11

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile despite their pain, heartaches, challenges, health concerns, and/or thoughts. It is only because of you that they are able to push through it all. Therefore, they continue to trust in you despite their obstacles. They pray a prayer of thankfulness, through all experiences, for you are indeed the light in their darkness; the comfort in their state of confusion; the friend when they cannot trust anyone; and their psychologist when their thoughts hinder their freedom and progression in life.

Father, help all to understand that life is full of ups, downs, twists, turns, as well as downfalls. However, with you, they have the needed peace to overcome it all.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication; with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:5-7
