PEACE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING

Father, I praise you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings. 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. Despite the bad things that they have encountered in this life, they know that there is a greater purpose for all things. Therefore, instead of rebelling against what has occurred in life, they continue to trust in you for all things. They push through their pain, understanding that there is a greater purpose for all experiences. They grow closer to you by studying your holy word and continuously remaining in prayer and supplication, as well as trusting in you for all things.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the answer to all issues, situations, and experiences in life. Therefore, cling to your teachings, love, and lessons learned to gain peace beyond understanding.

“Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:5-7

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they have life and have it more abundantly.

With you, their faith carries them through what seemed impossible—to reach the prize from you through your Son, Jesus Christ, that awaits them.

Father, help all to understand that despite their enemies tactics to break their spirit and disrupt their faith, they will continue to praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ. In addition, they will rejoice over the tactics, for they know that they are filled with righteousness because Satan does not affect those whom he already has.

TRUSTING GOD THROUGH IT ALL

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your second chance.

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.

Father, because of you, they are able to push through obstacles that once caused their faith to waiver. Because of you, they are able to walk in faith through their trials and tribulations. They understand that troubles will come and they will go; however, as long as they depend upon you for all things, no weapons formed against them will prosper.

They further understand that without you, their lives can be compared to walking on a tight rope without a safety net to catch them if they fall. Therefore, they pray for your Holy Spirit to guide, direct, and protect them through their darkness as well as their blessings.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are essential to making it in this world of sin and darkness. Help all to stop worrying about how they are perceived by those in the world and concentrate on how they are perceived in your eyes.

“In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. I trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.”

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38–39

Father, help all to see your light, for they have become accustomed to darkness. Help them to renew their mindset and walk the straight and narrow path of righteousness.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:2

TRUSTING IN THE LORD FOR ALL THINGS

WHOSE LIFE ARE YOU TRYING TO CONTROL?

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they continue to praise you for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. They know that, had it not been for you, they would not be present in the body. Therefore, they praise you through the good and the bad.

They know that all blessings come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Despite their shortcomings, you forgive them after their true repentance, and you continue to carry them through the good and the bad. You provide light through their momentary darkness, trials, tribulations, setbacks, heartaches, and challenges.

Therefore, instead of retreating to a space of seclusion, they push through all forces as they continue to trust in you for all things.

Father, help all to realize that they can only control their own lives; therefore, examine themselves to see their own inconsistencies, evil, jealousy, covetousness, and hurt that they inflict on others and make that their own focus in life.

Moreover, help all to be truthful to themselves prior to insinuating that the discourse that they have in their lives is brought on by others.

“He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.” Mark 7:20-23

A TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your second chance and opportunities to get it right.

They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly.

Father, help all to understand the importance of a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that there is no greater love, protection, guidance, direction, peace, or salvation without you through Christ.

“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.  For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him. Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.” John 17:1-5

THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES ALL WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS

Father, praise your holy name 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 pause to think about your continued blessings, despite their shortcomings. Instead of allowing them to live in a state of depression due to their actions or inactions, you forgive them after their true repentance. You continue to love, uplift, protect, and guide them through their difficulties and to the path that you have established for them before they were even conceived by their parents.  Your love is never-ending and always abounding.

Father, help all to understand your purpose for them. Help them to realize that they are not here by happenstance because you have established their purpose prior to their conception.

Father, help all to truly look at themselves from within, not how they believe they are seen from the viewpoint of others. Help them to read your holy word and compare their thoughts and actions to it. Moreover, help all to establish a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, so that the Holy Spirit can guide their thoughts and their steps.

“Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He told His disciples that He would send one who would teach and guide all those who believe in Him (Acts 1:5; John 14:26; 16:7). Jesus’ promise was fulfilled less than two weeks later when the Holy Spirit came in power on the believers at Pentecost (Acts 2).”
