WHO ARE YOU SERVING?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened to see this blessed morning, they give all praise to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another opportunity to get it right. 

Despite their shortcomings, you give them the strength to push through obstacles, knowing and trusting that you will continuously direct their steps, even when they lose their focus. 

Father, help all to continue to push through their adversities by knowing that you will never forsake them. Help them to not succumb to feelings of defeat or worthlessness when their burdens expand instead of dissipating. Help them to realize that if they depend upon you through their trials and tribulations, they should also maintain such dependence with you when they are happy, at peace, and full of joy.

Father, help all to realize that you should be their daily focus. Help them to search their souls daily to determine whether they are wholeheartedly serving you or man.

“Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly, as though you were working for your real master and not merely for humans. You know that your real master will give you an inheritance as your reward. It is Christ, your real master, whom you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24

DAILY REVERENCE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.  I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to thank you for another day that was not promised. They smile because your love never dissipates. They cry tears of joy because despite continously falling short of your glory, you continue to forgive, provide, guide, and protect. 

Father, help all to take time out of their day to reverence  you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.  Help them to understand that you are the reason they have life and have it more abundantly. 

“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.”
Hebrews 12:28

WHO ARE YOU TRUSTING?

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they first pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness, joy, direction, love, and your continued protection as they go to and from.  

You forgive them after true repentance and guide them through their troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and other difficulties that may arise. 

Father, help all to learn to put all of their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. Help them to lean not upon their own understanding but just trust in you, through Jesus Christ, for all things, situations, and/or difficulties.

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”

WORKING OUT FOR THE GOOD

Father, I am giving you all praise for another blessed day in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have made it through this blessed day, they lift up your holy name through your Son, Jesus Christ, for continued guidance. They know that if it had not been for you, they would not be able to smile. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not come to fruition, they pray a prayer of thankfulness for allowing them to make it through it all.

In addition, they praise you for your one-of-a-kind, never-ending love. They glorify you for always coming to their rescue. Despite their continued trials, you allow them to push through, ultimately resulting in increased faith, harmony, happiness, and peace beyond understanding.

They can rest assured in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that whatever you have purposed for them will always come to fruition.

They now realize that their experiences in life were strategically designed to help them grow more spiritually and mentally, depending solely on you through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

Father, help all to realize that when they truly let go and let God, they will recognize your abundant love and never-ending mercy. Help them to know that despite what they have endured or will endure, you have all power, and all things will continue to work out for the good of those who love you.

“For the moment, all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:11

IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH 

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 think about the blessings you continuously bestow upon them. They realize that if it had not been for your grace and mercy, they would not be present in the body. If it had not been for your agape love, they would not have been able to push through their mental and physical pain. If it had not been for your sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, they would not have the capability to repent of their sins.

Therefore, they worship you in spirit and in truth and praise your holy name. They repent of their sins and pray for discernment, guidance, direction, peace, happiness, and joy.

Father, help all to understand that all blessings come from you and through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to worship you daily, in spirit and in truth.

“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24

GOD’S EVER-PRESENT AND NEVER-ENDING LOVE 

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another day that was not promised.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your unconditional love. 

Because of your grace and mercy, they have life and have it more abundantly.  Despite their shortcomings, you continue to answer their prayers and direct their path.  

When they are desolate, you embrace them with your never-ending love, peace, and joy. When they are doubtful, you bring their answered prayers to memory. When they are tired, you provide mental and physical rest.

Father, help all to understand that you are always present in their lives; therefore, establish and maintain a relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Help all to further understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the answer to all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, disappointments, failures, as well as trials and tribulations. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God and pray continually and consistently as they walk in faith, knowing that you are always present and your love is neverending. 

“Because of the LORD’s great love, we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore, I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24

GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH!

Father, I am giving you all the praise 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 give you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all praise for another opportunity to get it right. They understand that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t come to fruition, they focus on your holy word as well as what you have allowed and predestined to come to fruition. 

Instead of focusing on negativity, shortcomings, failures, trials, tribulations, and/or setbacks, they choose to live life, pushing through obstacles and trusting in you for all things that you have purposed for them.

Father, help all to understand that there will be tests as well as temptations. However, keep their faith, knowing that you are “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not we 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

THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS AND INTERCEDES

Father, I 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 another day that was not promised.  They know that it is only by your grace that they are able to continuously push through their challenges. 
Instead of giving up or giving in, they pray for your divine intervention, direction, and resolve through all circumstances. They understand that change is necessary for growth, direction, and, most of all, a firm dependence upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

Father, help all to realize that a true relationship with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is essential. Help them to begin by studying your holy word to show themselves approved. Help them to then apply knowledge to their hearts and minds, realizing that you come so that all may have life and have it more abundantly. 

Moreover, help all to remain firm in faith, knowing that the enemy will attempt to discourage, cause division, doubt, and confusion. However, your Holy Spirit will always guide, direct, and intercede on their behalf.

“Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27

GOD JUDGES BY WORDS AND DEEDS

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to give you all the praise for your unconditional love. They are grateful for the gift of life and another opportunity to glorify your holy name.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Despite the downs that they experience in life, they continue to push through their troubles with a smile. Despite their ups in life, they continue to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, studying your holy word to show themselves approved, rightly dividing your holy word. Despite their negative encounters with those who claim to be of you, they push forward, knowing that no one can ever be truly known by what they say alone because actions speak louder than words. 

Father, help all realize that they will be held accountable for their actions, words, and deeds. Therefore, repent, confess Christ, and for those who have not been baptized in the watery grave of baptism, be reborn in the watery grave in the name of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4

GOD’S ULTIMATE SACRIFICE 

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Jesus Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice and your never-ending love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to thank you for allowing your Son, Jesus Christ, to be the propitiation for their sins. 

Father, on this blessed day, many celebrate you, through Jesus Christ, by giving you all the glory and honor. They are forever grateful for your love for all. Because of you, through Jesus Christ, they are able to repent of their sins and turn away from their wrongdoings. 

Father, help all to understand that your Son, Jesus’ resurrection, should be celebrated daily by turning away from evil, wickedness, jealousy, envy, covetousness, lies, trickery, and hatred that lies within them. 

In addition, help all to continue to fall to their knees in prayer, supplication, and gratefulness, as they give you, through your Son Jesus Christ, all the praise, honor, and glory on a daily basis.

“For our sake, he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
2 Corinthians 5:21

“Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.”
Romans 3:24-25
