EXAMINE YOURSELVES DAILY

EXAMINE YOURSELVES DAILY.

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 are grateful for another day that was not promised.

Despite falling short of your glory daily, your love never ceases. Despite their continued dependency upon worldly possessions, you continue to forgive, provide, and redirect them, their mindsets, and their actions from being negative to being positive.

Father, help all to see and understand that you come so that they may have life and have it more abundantly.

Help all to examine themselves daily, from head to toe, in accordance with your holy word and not based upon worldliness.

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? — Unless indeed you fail to meet the test!”

2 Corinthians 13:5

NEVER AN AFTERTHOUGHT

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings and favor. Despite their shortcomings, your love never wavers nor ceases.

When they thought that they were in this world alone, you reminded them that your love is never-ending, and you are always present in their midst.

When they thought that every action taken to move forward in life resulted in their taking two steps backwards, they prayed to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for clarity and purpose.

Father, help all to understand that prayer is needed before committing to do, create, or expand their territory. Help all to know that you and your Son, Jesus Christ, should never be an afterthought. Help all to pray about their situation before planning to do or deciding to do.

“He was chosen before the creation of the world but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” 1 Peter 1:20-21

Moreover, when they began to talk to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, they began to have a stronger reliance on and connection with you, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

Father, help all to stop worrying about how friends and family see them and worry about how you see them. Help them to withstand temptation and remain strong in your Holy Word during their good and not-so-good days.

GOD’S TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey as well, they focus on the numerous situations that you have brought them through. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them.

Moreover, they would not have the relationship with you and dependency on you as they do.

Father, help all to realize that you are the answer to all situations, troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, pain, and agony.

Father, help all to lean on you for all things and situations. Help them to understand that you are always present, will never forsake them, and will always lift them up in your timing.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11

This one fact, beloved, is that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8-9
