TEMPORARY VERSUS PERMANENT HAPPINESS

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 glory for your unwavering love and protection. Because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they not only have life but have it abundantly. Despite their daily struggles, they are blessed with the ability to call upon your holy name when their burdens become heavy and/or unbearable. They know that you will never forsake them, and you will always protect, guide, direct, and restore them.

Father, help all to realize that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the aforementioned love is never-ending and always abounding. Therefore, instead of depending on the favor and/or the ability of man to cause their temporary happiness, put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for permanent happiness.

“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

2 Corinthians 4:16–18

GOD’S UNWAVERING LOVE

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 pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life this morning. Therefore, they praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for second chances. They know that despite their sins and falling short of your glory daily, your love for them never waivers.

Father, help all to understand that you allow your Son, Jesus Christ, to come so that all may have life and have it more abundantly. Help all to put you first, through Christ, and pray for your continued guidance, grace, mercy, and protection.

“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 37-39

LET GOD’S HOLY WORD GUIDE YOU!

Father, I am giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to thank you for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Despite falling short of your glory, you continuously forgive, provide, protect, and direct their steps.

Despite knowing to do good but continuously doing what pleases the flesh, they fail to understand that they are in sin.

Father, help all to focus on searching the scriptures to determine their walk in life. Help them to truthfully evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word and not by the acceptance and/or standards of man.

Moreover, help all to understand that it is a sin to know what to do but intentionally fail to do it.

“The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.” Psalm 32:8

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to pray a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that all things are possible with you.

GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART, SO STAY CONSTANT

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your second chance.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for the gift of life.

Father, help all who are continuously fulfilling the needs of others; however, such care is never provided or reciprocated.

Moreover, help all who experience the aforementioned to continue to be the people you have ordained them to be. In addition, instead of being angry or hurt, help them to continue to do your will through it all.

“But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to thank you for your continued blessings. They know that today was not promised; therefore, they make the most of their day because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Instead of allowing doubt to fester within them, they push through obstacles, knowing that you will never allow your children to be forsaken. Instead of allowing their circumstances to depict their future, they trust that you will continue to encamp your angels around them as you embrace them with your armor and shield to protect, guide, and direct.

Father, help all to understand that your love is never-ending, pure, flawless, and constant. Help all to seek you and not the things of this world, for what is of the world is temporary, and what is of you is never-ending.

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

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:28-30
