ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Father, I am giving you all the glory on this blessed morning in Christ for the gift of life! I am grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning routine, they ensure that they praise you and uplift your holy name for your continued grace and mercy. They know that there is no one on earth that can compare with the love that you have for all. However, there are many who allow wealth and possessions to become their god. They begin to separate themselves from family and friends who are not as fortunate as they are, treating them as peasants because they now fall below their standards of living.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to determine if they are a true representation of you or not. Help them to understand that actions speak louder than words.

“But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:17–18

WE ARE GOD’S WORKMANSHIP

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 fall to their knees in prayer, thanking you for the gift of life—the ability to walk, see, talk, smell, taste, think, and feel. These gifts are what allow us all to function each day, which, unfortunately, many take for granted.

Father, help all to continuously pray for the good of those who love you with all their heart, mind, and soul. Help them to understand that a true relationship, as well as dependency upon you, is necessary to make it through their daily journey.

Therefore, study to show themselves approved: “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.” Ephesians 2:10

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, because of the blessings of awakening to see this beautiful morning, they give you all the praise for another opportunity to glorify your holy name. They are grateful for your agape love.

They sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another blessed morning that was not promised. They understand that all goodness comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They understand that, without you, there is no hope. Therefore, they continue to cling to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad.

Father, help all to understand that they are hopeless and helpless without you. Help them to understand that they will experience many tests, trials, and tribulations; however, you will never forsake them. In addition, help them understand that despite what they experience, they must focus on continuing to have open communication with you at all times.

Help them to also understand that you know and see all things; therefore, be mindful of your holy powers and know that with you, all things are possible.

“But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men, this is impossible, but with God, all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

ACQUIRING CHARACTERISTICS TO TRANSFORM MINDSET

Despite their sins, you continue to bless them with the gift of life. Because of you, they are filled with joy, peace, direction, and happiness.

Father, help all to understand that you are to be honored and glorified daily as they open their eyes and arise from sleep. Help all to learn to please you wholeheartedly and more apprehensively as they aim to please those in the world. Moreover, help them obtain the characteristics that will transform their mindset.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:2

FOCUSING ON GOD’S LIGHT

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they give you all the praise for the gift of life. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are present in the body.

Because of your divine direction, they no longer allow the cares of the world to determine or alter their walk in life. They now push through all obstacles, knowing that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, will never forsake them.

Father, help all to understand that your Holy Spirit will intercede on their behalf. Therefore, instead of focusing on things that they have no control over, focus on what you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit, have done and will continue to do.

Moreover, help them to understand that walking in faith and focusing on your light will definitely get them through all things.

“You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. With your help, I can advance against a troop; with my God, I can scale a wall. As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.” Psalm 18:28-30

“So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others.” 2 Corinthians 5:9–11
