HAVE YOU TRULY EVALUATED YOURSELF?

Father, praise your holy name for this marvelously 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 give you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all the glory for always loving, covering, protecting, guiding, healing, restoring, and renewing them.

Although they fall short of your glory daily, your love for them never dissipates. Although they know your holy word and choose to do the opposite, you continuously forgive, provide, and guide.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly to determine who they are truly serving. Moreover, help them to understand that tomorrow is never promised.

“1) Did I fill my mind with spiritual thoughts and refrain from distractions when I began the day?

2) Have I set aside time for prayer and fostered a prayerful spirit, or have I given way to distractions and laziness?

3) Have I lived today prepared for Christ’s second coming, or have I forgotten to watch for his return?

4) Have I walked by faith and remembered God throughout the day?”
~ Desk of Daniel J. Pentimone

“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

Zephaniah 3:17

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning in Christ, they praise you for a second chance to get it right. Despite their doubts, which exist internally, you continue to free them of all worries as you bring back to memory the blessings that you continuously bestow upon them and the fact that you have never forsaken them.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly to determine whether they are of faith or not. Help them to set aside all things that don’t speak life into their situation, erase any doubts, and increase their faith.

A DEPENDABLE GOD

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they continue to sing praises to your holy name for another day that was not promised.

Despite the roadblocks that arise, they continue to push forward, knowing that you have the solution to all problems. Despite their wavering minds as to “what if,” “why,” and/or “when,” they remain steadfast in your holy word, knowing that you “did not give them a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Tim 1:7

Father, help all to realize that the only one they can truly rely upon to protect, guide, and direct is you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Father, help all to realize that you are the answer to all situations, and despite how it appears, you will not foresake them, for you are a constant and dependable God.

“Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly, he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, and I will not be shaken.My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock and my refuge.
Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.”
Psalm 62:5-8

A RENEWED MINDSET

Father, thank you for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and guide them to the path of righteousness.

Although no one is perfect on earth, with you, they are made whole. Therefore, they put all their trust in you during their good and bad days. They also commit their lives to serve you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to see your light, for they have become accustomed to darkness. Help them to renew their mindset and walk the straight and narrow path of righteousness.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:2

THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES ALL WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 think about your continued blessings, despite their shortcomings. Instead of allowing them to live in a state of depression due to their actions or inactions, you forgive them after their true repentance. You continue to love, uplift, protect, and guide them through their difficulties and to the path that you have established for them before they were even conceived by their parents. Your love is never-ending and always abounding.

Father, help all to understand your purpose for them. Help them to realize that they are not here by happenstance because you have established their purpose prior to their conception.

Father, help all to truly look at themselves from within, not how they believe they are seen from the viewpoint of others. Help them to read your holy word and compare their thoughts and actions to it. Moreover, help all to establish a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, so that the Holy Spirit can guide their thoughts and their steps.

“Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He told His disciples that He would send one who would teach and guide all those who believe in Him (Acts 1:5; John 14:26; 16:7). Jesus’ promise was fulfilled less than two weeks later when the Holy Spirit came in power on the believers at Pentecost (Acts 2).”

FOCUSING ON GOD’S BLESSINGS

Father, thank you for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they first praise your holy name for another opportunity to get it right. Although they fall short of your glory daily, you continue to lead them and ensure that they are victorious in all that they do. Although they have internal scars that sometimes stop them from pushing through adversity, they know that, by your stripes, they are healed. Therefore, instead of dwelling on their trials and tribulations, they push forward by focusing on the fact that you have brought them through it all.

Father, help all to begin to change their thought process from the negativity that they have experienced to the blessings that you have bestowed upon them.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.” Ephesians 1:3-4

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises of peace and joy. It is only by your grace that they are able to push through darkness and allow your light to continue to guide them to the path of righteousness.

Although they push through adversity and various obstacles to remain steadfast on the path of righteousness as well as keep their sanity, they sometimes miss the mark. However, because of your Son, Jesus Christ, as well as your Holy Spirit’s interaction in their lives, they are able to fight the various sources of negativity, confusion, and discourse.

Father, help all to understand that it is only by your grace that many are able to maintain their sanity and thought process, as well as fight the mental and physical pain they endure every second of the day. Moreover, help all to understand that you are the source of their freedom, healing, and restoration.

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.

SPIRITUALLY EVALUATE SELF
