WHO DO YOU AIM TO PLEASE?

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and the gift of life. Moreover, I am grateful for this day that we celebrate the birth of your son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. They also know that it is only by your grace that they are able to repent of their sins and become renewed and restored.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves by your holy word and not by how others see or think of them. Help them to always aim to please you and not man.”

For am I now seeking the approval of man or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ”. Galatians 1:10

BAPTISM IS ESSENTIAL

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.

Father, as many have awakened to witness another day, they bow down on their knees to honor and glorify your holy name.
