WITHSTANDING ALL THINGS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST 

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the glory. They praise you for always being an on-time God. Despite their nonworthiness, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, guide, and direct.

They understand that if it were not for your grace and mercy, they would not be afforded the many second chances that you continue to provide.

They understand that if it were not for your guidance, they would not have the peace that resides within.

Moreover, they understand that because of you, they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

They know that it is because of you that they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil and focus on your will for them through Jesus Christ.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every Everywhere and in all things, I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Phillipians 4:11-13

ARE YOU CONNECTED WITH GOD?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your comfort during the various pains that I have experienced and continue to experience.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they pause to say, “Thank You, Father!” Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, and direct. Despite their hearing your holy word but refusing to obey it, you continue to provide a way of escape when they come into trials in which relief can only come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that no one, no substance, no money, no popularity, no prestige, no knowledge, and no riches can provide them with the kind of love, blessings, and joy that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, can and will always provide.

Help all to turn to you only so that you can make their lives better. Help them to never jeopardize their souls by depending on men instead of putting all their faith in you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to understand that troubles don’t last forever. Help them to understand that experience is the best teacher of lessons learned, especially when they are in connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

DEPENDING MORE ON GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to give you all the glory for another day that was not promised. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive them of their sins and lead them to the path of righteousness. Despite their second chances, your love remains constant.

Father, help all to understand that life is what they make of it, in accordance with your will for them. Help all to remember to put you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, first and have all confidence that all will work out for their good. In addition, help all to understand that their timing is not yours; therefore, remain diligent, focused, and persistent in doing that which is right despite their woes in life.

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.  And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 5:6–11

WORK OUT FOR THE GOOD

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the glory for giving them another day to get it right. Despite their sins, you continue to love, protect, as well as direct their steps.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all of their needs and/or problems. Help them to always focus on you, during their good days as well as their bad days, and all will work out for their good.
