GOD CREATES WITHIN US A CLEAN HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for allowing them to be present in their bodies. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them, and your holy spirit continuously directs their path. Despite their sins, you forgive them after their true repentance and create in them a clean heart.

Father, help all to understand that your love is neverending, pure, and “saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Moreover, help all to understand that you come so that all may have life and have it more abundantly.

“Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with thy free spirit.” Psalm 51:10-12

THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE!

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to praise and uplift your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. They know that it is only by grace that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t occurred, they walk forward in faith, knowing that, in your timing, all prayers will definitively lead to fruition.

They understand that you know all things and have power over all things. Therefore, they will continue to put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all who have lost faith in your holy word. Help them to know that when they are not strong in faith, that is when they are tempted and are more likely to fall prey to the tactics of Satan. Therefore, remain strong, steadfast, and trusting in you as you clothe them with the breastplate of righteousness, walking in confidence that no weapons formed against them will prosper. Help them to cling closely to your unchanging, praying for the forgiveness of their sins as well as for discernment, guidance, direction, protection, and continued faith.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

Father, help all who are experiencing setbacks, heartaches, challenges, health concerns, and/or other difficulties that anyone may be experiencing this morning. Help them to push through all obstacles, knowing that you are always present to bring them through and out of darkness to your light, love, and serenity.

“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12

THE REWARDS OF A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed day in Christ! I’m grateful for your divine intervention.

As many have journeyed throughout this beautiful day, they thank you for your continued grace and mercy. When they are down, you always allow your son, Jesus Christ, to shine his light on them. When they are harboring over what has occurred in the past or that which has not come to fruition, you always show up and show out, right on time. Your blessings are never-ending, and your love always uplifts, restores, and renews them.

Father, help all to understand that there will be both good and bad experiences. Despite the good or bad, all experiences will have a way of better defining their path, walk, and destiny in this life.

Father, help all to focus on having a genuine and dependent relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to know that such relationships lead to pure happiness despite the negatives in their lives or in this world.

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

“For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:40

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. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to allow them to withstand the wiles of the devil. Despite their love for all, your love is the only constant in their life. Despite their concern and care for everyone, you are the only one who reciprocates this.

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

PRAY FOR GOD’S PROTECTION

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning, they concentrate on the blessings instead of the downs of life. They understand that there is always a greater purpose for all things that occur. Some repercussions are greater than others; however, choosing to depend totally on you allows your children to lay all their burdens, heartaches, pain, challenges, and anxiety on you.

Father, help all to trust in you, for you know all things, and your love is genuine and never-ending. Help all to understand that jealousy and covetousness are instilled in those who claim to be the closest to them. Therefore, always pray for your armor and shield to protect them from the wiles of the devil.

“He said, “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield, my saving strength, my defender, and my place of safety. The Lord saves me from those who want to harm me. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies.”

2 Samuel 22: 2-4

TEMPORARY APPEASEMENT OR PERMANENT RESOLUTION

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

PUT ON CHRIST DAILY

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another blessed morning in Christ.

They know that there’s no greater love than yours. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not occur, they refocus and now see all experiences as an opportunity to become closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that life centered around you through Christ brings pure
confidence in them as they continue their daily journey.

Father, help all to put on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, as they journey throughout their day. Help them understand that there is no better way to not only begin their day but to end their night.

“Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.” Romans 13:14

TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOD THROUGH CHRIST

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 say a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life. They know that your love is never-ending; therefore, they continue to push through negativity, darkness, difficulties, and other distractions through their faith and dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know that there will be days where they may want to give up; however, they must remember that the trials in life are tests or measures needed to push them to a total dependence upon you through Christ, and not a dependence upon themselves or man.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9–10
