GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

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 smile because you continue to forgive, provide, protect, and guide.

When they were experiencing many trials, you kept them focused on rising above their difficulties. Instead of dwelling on what did not occur, they prepared their mindset to accept whatever may come their way, knowing that you have the ultimate power over all things, both seen and unseen.

Father, help all to loosen their grasp of fear and tighten their grasp of faith in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know that you are the answer to all of their problems. Therefore, put on your breastplate of righteousness, helmet of salvation, and armor and shield as they lead others to you through Jesus Christ.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

AIMING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

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 smile. They try to never take the gift of life for granted; however, they fall short because no one on earth is perfect. Because they know that life is a gift from you, they cherish each day that you allow them to present themselves as your child.

Father, help all to understand that there is nothing done on earth that is hidden from you. Therefore, confess and repent of their sins, as well as pray for your divine direction.

Father, help all to understand that it is only by grace that they have life. Therefore, instead of taking advantage of your unconditional love, aim to do what is righteous in accordance with you and your teachings.

“But you, Timothy, man of God, run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.”
1 Timothy 6:11–12
