SPIRITUALLY EVALUATE SELF

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 love, grace, and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them, and you continuously provide, guide, and direct them throughout their walk in life.

Father, help all to know that true happiness, peace, joy, and love come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that despite how others may favor them, they must keep their eyes fixed on the favor that only comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to further understand that tomorrow is not promised; therefore, evaluate themselves to better understand their own shortcomings instead of pleasing others so that their shortcomings are acceptable to man and not you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they worship your holy name. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life this morning. Despite their challenges in life, you continue to keep them on the straight and narrow. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive them and redirect their walk and renew their mindset. Despite their fear, you allow them to face their challenges and understand that you have full control.

Father, help all to realize that you are the answer to all of their needs, problems, and worries. Help them to give all worries, sickness, troubles, and/or disappointments to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Moreover, help them to know and understand that you are an ever-present help in times of need.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” Psalm 46:1-3

ARE YOU PLEASING GOD?

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to provide, guide, direct, restore, renew, and love. You have never forsaken them, and your Holy Spirit continuously guides them.

Father, help all to take time to reverence you through your Son, Jesus Christ, on this beautiful and blessed day. Help all to realize that prayer is needed daily as well as throughout the day. Help them to always focus on pleasing you, not those of the world.

“So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others.” 2 Corinthians 5:9–11

GUIDED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your love and protection.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they are filled with your Holy Spirit. They are focused on turning their wrongs into rights: sadness to happiness, and despair to joy. They are also determined to ‘brake the chain around them so that nobody else can bind them’.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are essential in their lives. Help them to understand that your Holy Spirit, which dwells within, “guides us by calling us into relationship with Jesus. The Spirit guides us by purging our sinful urges and growing his fruits. The Spirit guides us with the truth of his written word. The Spirit guides us through the process of godly discernment.”

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” (Galatians 5:22-24).

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

GOD-ABOUNDING LOVE

Father, as many have been blessed to witness another day in Christ, they pause to give you all the praise for your unconditional love. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it so abundantly. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, and guide. Despite their sins, you continue to redirect their path. Despite their sickness, they know and therefore continuously shout out that they are victorious in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your holy spirit, direct, carry, and sustain them through their ups as well as their downs. Help them to understand that you will never forsake them; therefore, continue to push through life experiences, knowing that you are all powerful, forever protecting, never forsaking, and always abounding.

“You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, LORD; listen to my cry for mercy.” Psalm 86:5-6

“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:8

BELIEVING IN GOD, JESUS, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

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. They understand that life is not promised; therefore, they revere you through Jesus Christ for this blessing.

Father, help all who are unable to see life as a blessing due to the frequent unwanted circumstances that arise.

Help them to understand that life’s experiences sometimes occur so that they can become closer and more dependent on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, never allow the bad circumstances in life to cause their faith to diminish. Moreover, help them to understand that there is a greater purpose for all things.

“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:18-20

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

Father, help all to evaluate themselves to understand that it is not just them who have made their dreams come to fruition; it is your holy spirit, which dwells within them, that has allowed them to redirect their path through their darkness, trials, sickness, troubles, and strongholds, as well as through lightness, tests, wellness, peace, and joy.

“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5
