GOD ALLOWS PEACE THROUGH THE STORMS OF LIFE

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for allowing them to awaken to witness another beautiful morning in Christ. Despite their difficulties in life, they continue to push forward, knowing that you have established their path and that their ultimate purpose awaits them.

Father, help all to understand that life consists of both good and bad experiences, ups and downs, happiness and sadness, as well as joy and pain.

However, despite it all, they grow closer to you, knowing that there is no one on earth that can bring them through and to a place of peace, happiness, and harmony despite the inflictions endured in their lives.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire, you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2 ESV

REMAIN CONNECTED WITH GOD THROUGH CHRIST DAILY

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another blessed morning. They smile because they have another opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth. They bow to their knees to confess their sins, repent, and pray for your continued guidance.

Father, help all to understand that everyone falls short of your glory daily, be it intentional or unintentional. Therefore, remain connected with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, during the good and the bad.

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can not bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me, you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers, and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:4-7

FOCUSING ON GOD’S HOLY WORD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to your holy name for another day that was not promised.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves and never take the gift of life for granted. Help them to understand that you have appointed everyone a time to be born and a time to die—a physical death—to experience a spiritual life with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to understand that only you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, know the timing of physical death and spiritual awakening. Therefore, focus on your holy word and not the cares of the world.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

Help them to realize that life is full of ups and downs, wins and losses, good and bad, as well as advances and setbacks.

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.” Revelation 22:12

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they send praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another morning that was not promised. As they arise, they know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it so abundantly.

Father, help us all to be grateful despite our downs in life. Moreover, help all to understand that if there were no downs in life, there would be no growth, as well as no dependency on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” When we seek God with all of our hearts and draw near to Him, we will feel His presence once again.” James 4:8

REBUKING THE EVIL SPIRIT

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 give you praise for your continued blessings. They know that it is only because of your unfailing love that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the daily blessings that you continue to bestow on them.

In addition, they adorn themselves with your breastplate of righteousness, understanding that you have control over all things, people, and situations.

Father, help all to stop allowing the evil spirit to cause them to question their peace and happiness.

Help them know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, will forever love, embrace, support, protect, guide, and direct them to a place of peace, happiness, harmony, and serenity.

Help them to also know that anything that is opposite to the aforementioned is not of you or your Son, Jesus Christ.

“And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Matthew 17:18-20

SEARCH WITHIN YOURSELF DAILY

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your continued guidance and protection.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile because your love is one of a kind. Although they sin and continuously fall short of your glory, you welcome their repentance and forgive them of the three types of sin (Lust Of The Flesh, Lust Of The Eyes, and The Pride of Life).

Father, help all to understand that they must be aware of the following unforgivable sin: “Therefore, I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.” Matthew 12:31-32

Father, help all to also understand that no one is perfect and we all fall short of your glory daily! Therefore, take heed and search themselves daily, praying for forgiveness and your divine direction.

“Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” John 12:44-46

AIMING TO CONTINOUSLY, PLEASE GOD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the glory for another blessed day in Christ that was not promised. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant.

When they were challenged beyond measure, you allowed them to resist temptation and hold on to your unchanging hands during both the good and the bad.

When they were constantly overwhelmed with feelings of hatred and jealousy from those whom they loved and thought loved them as well, they realized that your love for them, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is the only love that is permanent without stipulations.

Father, help all to realize that you know and see all things; therefore, keep living life aiming to please you. Help them to leave all worries and concerns with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, as they follow the path that you have established for them.

“So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.”
2 Corinthians 5:9–11

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ for peace, understanding, protection, and guidance.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have an abundant life. They know that it is only because of your love for them that they are given many chances to hear your Holy Word, Believe your Holy Word, Confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ the remission of their sins.

Father, help all to understand that no one on earth has a heaven or hell to put them in. However, worshipping others or worldly possessions instead of you and your Son, Jesus Christ, leads to a point of no return.

“You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.” Nehemiah 9:6

FOCUSING ON WHAT IS

Father, help all who are continuously reliving what could have been instead of what is. Help all to know that they should not lean on their own understanding, for you have a purpose for all things and/or experiences. Moreover, help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through their good and their bad days.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Philippians 4:8
