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

NEVERENDING SPIRITUAL CONNECTION

Father, praise your holy name 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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. They know that with you, all things are possible. They know that their lives are better with you, and because of that, they aim to please you in all that they do. They know that you have all the power and authority over all things, situations, and/or people. They know that despite their shortcomings, you continue to instill in them pure excellence, love, forgiveness, and the importance of remaining steadfast in prayer and supplication.

Father, help all who find solace in material things instead of their spiritual attunement. Help them to understand that material things will deteriorate in due time, whereas their spiritual connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, is neverending.

“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” Ephesians 4:15-16

Despite the negatives that they have encountered, they continue to push through their adversities, knowing that you are always present through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Therefore, they continue to praise and uplift your holy name because they are overly grateful for your unconditional love, grace, and mercy.

Father, help all who continue to struggle with trusting in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. Help them to understand that you come so that they may have life and have it more abundantly.

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

WITHSTANDING THE UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE

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 sing praises to you for your grace and mercy. Because of you, they are able to make it through their most trying moments and turn their sadness into happiness. Because of you, they are able to withstand the ups and downs of life and turn their difficulties into lessons learned. Because of you, they are able to look past the evil that others have towards them and pray for their wellbeing.

Father, help all to understand that, throughout their darkest moments, they should continue to forgive others and trust in you for all things. Help all to further understand that although no one is perfect in this world and all sin and fall short of your glory, it does not mean that one has to continue accepting and allowing others to hurt them emotionally, physically, or mentally. Therefore, separate themselves from anyone who does not love, respect, and/or treat them as if they matter.

“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: . . . a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.” Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
