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

As they arise, they say a prayer of thanksgiving, knowing that with you and through your Son, Jesus Christ, no weapons formed against them will prosper. Despite their intentions, they often fall short of your expectations. However, your love never wavers. You continue to bestow blessings upon them as they repent and pray for your continued guidance, grace, and mercy.

Father, help all to understand that you know all things and to include their thoughts. Therefore, repent of their sins and focus on doing that which pleases you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to also understand that tomorrow is never promised; therefore, focus on doing that, which leads to a greater relationship with you through Jesus Christ.
