SPIRITUALLY REWARDING

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 pause to say, “Thank you.” They know that it is only by your grace that they have life on this blessed morning. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what isn’t going right, they focus on the gift of life.

Father, help all to take time out of their busy schedules to appreciate you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to realize that life is full of ups and downs, wins and losses, good and bad, as well as advances and setbacks. However, worshipping you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through it all, is spiritually rewarding.

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.” Revelation 22:12

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they send praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another morning that was not promised. As they arise, they know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it so abundantly.

Despite their aches and pains, setbacks, heartaches, challenges, and difficulties, they move forward, knowing that there is a greater purpose for all things. Therefore, if they just cling to you and do not lean on their own standing, all things will work out for their good.

Father, help us all to be grateful despite our downs in life. Moreover, help all to understand that if there were no downs in life, there would be no growth, as well as no dependency on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” When we seek God with all of our hearts and draw near to Him, we will feel His presence once again.” James 4:8

REBUKING THE EVIL SPIRIT

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 have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you praise for your continued blessings. They know that it is only because of your unfailing love that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the daily blessings that you continue to bestow on them.

In addition, they adorn themselves with your breastplate of righteousness, understanding that you have control over all things, people, and situations.

Father, help all to stop allowing the evil spirit to cause them to question their peace and happiness.

Help them know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, will forever love, embrace, support, protect, guide, and direct them to a place of peace, happiness, harmony, and serenity.

Help them to also know that anything that is opposite to the aforementioned is not of you or your Son, Jesus Christ.

“And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Matthew 17:18-20

CHOOSING RIGHTEOUSNESS

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile because they are filled with love, peace, and joy within. They realize that there is a purpose for all things, situations, and experiences. Therefore, they cling closer to you and remain in continual prayer that they put you first and walk the path that you have established for them.

Father, help all to remain strong in their faith, knowing that all blessings come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to choose righteousness even when they are outnumbered by that which is evil and/or contrary to your holy word.

“For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:31-33.

SEARCH WITHIN YOURSELF DAILY

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile because your love is one of a kind. Although they sin and continuously fall short of your glory, you welcome their repentance and forgive them of the three types of sin (Lust Of The Flesh, Lust Of The Eyes, and The Pride of Life).

Father, help all to understand that they must be aware of the following unforgivable sin: “Therefore, I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.” Matthew 12:31-32

Father, help all to also understand that no one is perfect and we all fall short of your glory daily! Therefore, take heed and search themselves daily, praying for forgiveness and your divine direction.

“Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.” John 12:44-46

AIMING TO CONTINOUSLY, PLEASE GOD

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 pause to give you all the glory for another blessed day in Christ that was not promised. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant.

When they were challenged beyond measure, you allowed them to resist temptation and hold on to your unchanging hands during both the good and the bad.

When they were constantly overwhelmed with feelings of hatred and jealousy from those whom they loved and thought loved them as well, they realized that your love for them, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is the only love that is permanent without stipulations.

Father, help all to realize that you know and see all things; therefore, keep living life aiming to please you. Help them to leave all worries and concerns with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, as they follow the path that you have established for them.

“So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.”
2 Corinthians 5:9–11

DEPENDENCE ON GOD

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they first give praise to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life.

They know that nothing in life that is worth having comes easy. They understand that without trials and/or tribulations, there is no personal growth, and their dependency is on themselves instead of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that life is always better with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the issues that they experience daily help them to obtain greater spiritual growth and a dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him. He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated. My salvation and honor depend on God; he is my strong protector; he is my shelter. Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.” Psalm 62:5-8

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ! I’m grateful for your continued grace and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ for peace, understanding, protection, and guidance.

Despite their trials and tribulations, they aim to trust in you for all things!

They know that it is only by your grace that they have an abundant life. They know that it is only because of your love for them that they are given many chances to hear your Holy Word, Believe your Holy Word, Confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and be Baptized in the name of Jesus Christ the remission of their sins.

Father, help all to understand that no one on earth has a heaven or hell to put them in. However, worshipping others or worldly possessions instead of you and your Son, Jesus Christ, leads to a point of no return.

“You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.” Nehemiah 9:6

FOCUSING ON WHAT IS

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness. They understand that it is only by your grace that they have life this morning. Therefore, instead of allowing their circumstances to dictate their mood, they pray for protection, guidance, direction, peace, joy, love, and that your will for them is done.

Father, help all who are continuously reliving what could have been instead of what is. Help all to know that they should not lean on their own understanding, for you have a purpose for all things and/or experiences. Moreover, help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through their good and their bad days.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Philippians 4:8
