DESPITE THEIR SHORTCOMINGS

Father, praising your holy name for another blessed morning. I am grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise for another blessed morning as well. Despite their shortcomings, you continuously forgive, redirect, provide, protect, support, and love beyond understanding.

Father, help all to examine themselves wholeheartedly to determine their shortcomings and to repent of such so that they can be made new in your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that you know their inner thoughts and hear their prayers. Therefore, aim to do that which is right in accordance with your holy word and will for them.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” 2 Corinthians 12:9

“Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:10
