WHO ARE YOU ABIDING IN?

Father, I give you all the praise 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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised. They smile because they know that you are present in every aspect of their life. They are grateful for your guidance, protection, love, and peace beyond understanding.

Father, help all who are continuously relying on others to determine their worth to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, will always love, protect, and direct them to the straight and narrow path to righteousness.

Therefore, always cling to God’s unchanging hands during their good as well as their bad days.

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5
