THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN GOD’S LOVE

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they thank you for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to push them through and to the path of righteousness. Despite their difficulties, they have vowed to look past yesterday and focus on today. They know that as long as they put all their heart and trust in you, they will never be disappointed. They further understand that you are Alpha and Omega, and you know and are in control of all things. Although, you allow everyone to choose their path in life, you always show up to redirect them to the path that is more advantageous to accomplish what you have designed for them to accomplish, be and/or become.

Father, help all to trust in you for all things. Help them to understand that their timing does not determine your timing and/or will for them. Help them to understand that they should cling closely to your unchanging hands during the good as well as the bad. Moreover, help them understand that you come so that they may life, and have it abundantly!

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

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

GOD’S HAS ALL CONTROL

Father, give you all praise for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love, protection, guidance, restoration, and peace.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their day, they smile because you have granted them another opportunity to get it right. They smile because they are able to examine themselves and determine where they have fallen short and repent of their sins. They smile because, despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive and redirect their path as well as their mindset.

Father, help all to understand that they always have a reason to smile, despite their pain, darkness, and/or difficulties in life. Help them to understand that with you, they have eternal life.

Father, help all to also realize that they can always depend upon you through their difficulties, because you control all things, situations, and people.

“In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.”
Ephesians 1:11-14

GOD KNOWS AND SEES ALL THINGS

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your gift of discernment.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to uplift your holy name for being present in their life daily. They understand that it is only because of your love for them that they are able to withstand the plans of the devil who usually works through those who are closest to them. Therefore, they continue to pray, obey, and move forward in life, knowing that no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all who have darkness, jealousy, envy, and covetousness within their heart. Help all who speak one thing, but do the opposite. Moreover, help them to understand that there is nothing done in secrecy that will not be revealed.

“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly, he shall go astray.” Proverbs 5:21-23

CALLING ON JESUS’ NAME

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 say, “Thank You “! They know that it is only because of your grace and mercy that they are able to witness this day. Therefore, they continue to surrender all to you. They know they must give all worries to you, for only you are able to direct their steps and set them free.

Father, help all to never allow their burdens to depict their talk, walk, and/or faith. Help all to always lean on you for understanding, reflection, and confidence. Help all to call on your name, for you will never forsake them.

“Now, why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.” Acts 22:16

“Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.” John 13

BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

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 sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant. They pray day and night to be able to do that which pleases you instead of that which pleases man. However, they understand that both good and bad experiences are needed to grow spiritually as well as get closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily in accordance with your holy word. Help them to always yield to temptation and put on the breastplate of righteousness daily.

“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:14-17

GOD’S ESTABLISHED PATH

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed #SONday! I’m grateful for your faithfulness.

Father, as many have begun this set aside day, to worship you and praise your holy name through your Son Jesus Christ, they are filled with joy and happiness. They know that it is only because of your love that they are able to push through the darkness that was meant to deplete their happiness as well as their love for you through your Son Jesus Christ. However, through it all, the darkness caused a total dependency upon you through Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to understand that there is a greater purpose for all things; therefore, pray constantly and depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, because their path has already been established.

“And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.” Isaiah 58:11

NEEDED PEACE TO WITHSTAND ALL THINGS

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 smile despite their pain, heartaches, challenges, health concerns, and/or thoughts. It is only because of you that they are able to push through it all. Therefore, they continue to trust in you despite their obstacles. They pray a prayer of thankfulness, through all experiences, for you are indeed the light in their darkness; the comfort in their state of confusion; the friend when they cannot trust anyone; and their psychologist when their thoughts hinder their freedom and progression in life.

Father, help all to understand that life is full of ups, downs, twists, turns, as well as downfalls. However, with you, they have the needed peace to overcome it all.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication; with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:5-7

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to thank you for your goodness. When they were sick, you healed them from head to toe. When they were challenged, you allowed them to stand firm in their decisions despite their disapproval of men.

Father, help all to continue to trust in your holy powers to pull and/or push them through their darkest experiences. Help them to always focus on pleasing you, through your Son Jesus Christ, in all things and/or situations.

“Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts” 1 Thessalonians 2:4
