A STRONG DEPENDENCE ON GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, I give you all the praise, honor, and glory for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your incomparable love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile because you continue to encamp your angels around them and their dwelling place as they sleep. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Therefore, they pray for the forgiveness of their sins, both known and unknown. They also pray for your continued divine direction, through their good as well as their not-so-good days.

Father, help all to understand the importance of a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them understand that with you, they can endure all things. Moreover, help them to have a pure heart and a clean conscience, depending on you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song, I praise him.”
Psalm 28:7

FOCUSING ON GOD’S BLESSINGS

Father, thank you for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they first praise your holy name for another opportunity to get it right. Although they fall short of your glory daily, you continue to lead them and ensure that they are victorious in all that they do. Although they have internal scars that sometimes stop them from pushing through adversity, they know that, by your stripes, they are healed. Therefore, instead of dwelling on their trials and tribulations, they push forward by focusing on the fact that you have brought them through it all.

Father, help all to begin to change their thought process from the negativity that they have experienced to the blessings that you have bestowed upon them.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” Ephesians 1:3-4

AN ABUNDANT LIFE

Father, I am giving you all the praise and glory for another day of being present in the body. It is only by your grace that many have awakened to witness another blessed morning in Christ.

Despite the negatives that they have encountered, they continue to push through their adversities, knowing that you are always present through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Therefore, they continue to praise and uplift your holy name because they are overly grateful for your unconditional love, grace, and mercy.

Father, help all who continue to struggle with trusting in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. Help them to understand that you come so that they may have life and have it more abundantly.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

WHO ARE YOU TRUSTING?

Father, I give you all the praise, honor, and glory for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for you, your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they know that they are protected and guided by you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They can testify to all that there is no better feeling than knowing that you have all power and that they are covered by the blood of your Son, Jesus Christ.

They jump for joy due to the confidence that they have in you. They know that no weapons formed against them will prosper, and despite experiencing despair, sickness, breakdowns, depression, sadness, fear, heartaches, challenges, pain, and agony, you always bring them through stronger and wiser.

Father, help all to understand that putting all their trust in you is necessary to make it in this world.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8

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

LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their #SONday journey, they pause to give you the glory. They thank you for allowing them to awaken and witness another day in Christ. They are grateful for your protection as well as your presence in their lives. They understand that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. They pray for your continued guidance during their good and not-so good experiences. Moreover, they thank you for allowing your Holy Spirit to guide them throughout their lives.

Father, help all to understand that you have given them all the gift of life, as well as your holy word to keep them on the straight and narrow path to righteousness. Help all to further understand that today is the day to wholeheartedly commit themselves to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to lean not upon their understanding as you guide them to and from.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.” Proverbs 3

FIX YOUR EYES ON GOD

Father, I give you all the praise and glory for another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your continued blessings.

Father, as many have started their morning journey, they pause to thank you for your love, blessings, and protection. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it so abundantly. Therefore, they continue to focus on the positives despite the various sources of negativity.

Father, help all to fix their eyes on you and your wondrous favor, grace, mercy, joy, protection, forgiveness, and peace beyond understanding. Help all to seek your approval, not the approval of men or women who cannot control or direct their own path in life.

“Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God’s throne.” Hebrews 12:2

CHOOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS OVER SINFULNESS

Father, I’m giving you all the glory for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say a prayer of thanksgiving. They smile because you not only protected them as they slept but also provided them with the gift of life. Although they sin and fall short of your glory daily, you continue to allow them an opportunity to repent, confess their sins, and change their lives, beginning with a changed heart and mindset. Instead of sinning purposefully, they pray for your divine direction and forgiveness. Although all sin and fall short of your glory daily, they are more intentional about applying your holy word to their lives.

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to choose righteousness over sinfulness. Help all to further understand that lip service without action is just words used in vain.

“The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouths and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.” Isaiah 29:13

INHERITANCE, PEACE, AND SOLITUDE

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they take time to reverence you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They understand that it is only because of your grace and mercy that they have life. Despite their sinful ways, thoughts, and actions, you continue to forgive, lead, guide, restore, and renew their faith.

Father, help all to take time out of their busy schedules to evaluate themselves. Help them to realize that although you know that no one is perfect, it does not give anyone the freedom to do whatever pleases their flesh, despite the repercussions it has on them as well as those who love them.

Father, help all to understand that you know all things, and come so that all may inherit the peace, solitude, and joy that await them in Christ.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24

CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH GOD

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning, they bow to their knees to praise you for the gift of life. If it were not for you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they would not have been able to push through their troubles and focus on their blessings.

Father, help all to understand that troubles will come; however, you allow peace and joy through it all. Therefore, continue to praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily.

Father, help all to understand that constant communication with you, through Jesus Christ, is necessary, not only about their fears but also their trust, happiness, and blessings.

“What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.” Matthew 10:27

“Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:4
