JESUS IS THE LIGHT!

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 praise for another blessed morning that was not promised.

They understand that today was not promised; therefore, they continue to push through obstacles, challenges, and the evil that lurks within those whose hearts are far from you. They depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. They push through adversity, obstacles, and confusion.

They pray for your continued blessings, grace, mercy, guidance, direction, and peace beyond understanding.

They study your holy word and show themselves approved by rightly dividing your holy word.

They pray through their trials and tribulations, knowing that you are their light through all forms of darkness.

Father, help all to understand that the world is full of evil and darkness; therefore, they must always aim and pray to do your will and continue to depend upon your light.

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 ESV

WHO DO YOU FOCUS ON?

EVALUATING YOUR FAITH AND DEEDS!

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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. They know that, despite their shortcomings, your love never ceases. Therefore, they push through adversity, obstacles, envy, covetousness, manipulation, and jealousy from those whose hearts are far from you and walk in confidence, knowing that your love will always protect their spirit, faith, and walk in life, despite how trying their days may become.

Father, help everyone to realize that life is so much better with you than without you. Help them to understand that with you, chaos subsides, faith increases, and love overrides all negativity and doubt that tries to creep into their thoughts and actions.

Moreover, help them to know that you have all power; therefore, let go of the things, as well as people, that they cannot control or change, and focus on their own actions and inactions, and how such experiences can either positively or negatively affect their faith and/or deeds.

“So, you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” James 2:17-20

Moreover, they pray for your continued blessings: guidance, renewal, peace, and protection.

Father, help all to realize that life is full of ups and downs, happiness and sadness; however, with you, their tears are turned to joy, their heartaches are turned to lessons learned, and their thoughts are turned to peace and happiness.

Therefore, continue to hang on to your unchanging hands as they walk with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit. Help them to know that the pain, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and deception will dissipate as they continue to trust in you for all things.
