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

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

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

AS GOD HAS PURPOSED

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your unconditional love and ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, for all can have salvation.  Despite their shortcomings, your love never dissipates.  

Father, please help all to never take your grace, mercy, and love for granted.  

Help them to examine themselves daily and always judge themselves in accordance with your holy word, and leave the judgement of others to you. 

Help all to understand that you know and see all things. Therefore, do what, and be who, you have purposed for them.

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” 
~2 Timothy 1:8-11
