PUSH THROUGH TEMPTATIONS

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

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 understand that today was not promised, yet you allowed them to experience peace, joy, happiness, and being present in the body.

Father, help all to understand the blessings that you bestow upon all. Help all to understand that although no one on earth is perfect, you continuously forgive, redirect, support, and love beyond understanding.

Father, help all to never take your love for granted. Help all to push through their temptations and hold on to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad.

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

“Be not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” Deuteronomy 31:8

WILL YOU BE LIKE A SHEEP OR A GOAT?

Father, give you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and continued favor.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They know that today was not promised; therefore, they show gratefulness to be present in the body. Instead of living life as if each day is promised, they worship you in spirit and in truth daily.

Father, help all to take heed, because no one on earth knows the time in which the final judgment will take place.

“”The final judgment will take place when Christ comes again—he died once as an offering for the sins of many, and he will appear a second time in judgment, when he will save his followers, those who are eagerly waiting for him. This clear anticipation of Christ’s return.”” Hebrews 10:25

“”When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.””

“”Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”” Matthew 29:31-39

Father, help all to realize that tomorrow is never promised. Therefore, cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily.

Help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly in accordance with your holy word. Help them to understand that it’s not themselves but your holy spirit who guides, protects, uplifts, restores, and renews their body, mind, and soul.

“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.”
James 4:13-16
