SPIRITUALLY EVALUATE SELF

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your love, grace, and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them, and you continuously provide, guide, and direct them throughout their walk in life.

Father, help all to know that true happiness, peace, joy, and love come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that despite how others may favor them, they must keep their eyes fixed on the favor that only comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to further understand that tomorrow is not promised; therefore, evaluate themselves to better understand their own shortcomings instead of pleasing others so that their shortcomings are acceptable to man and not you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!”
2 Corinthians 13:5

GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your unconditional love, peace through their storms, as well as their happiness despite the darkness that tries to dim their light.

Father, thank you for being ever-present in the lives of all who continue to love despite the non-reciprocation of such love from those who oftentimes cause the most havoc in their lives.

Help all to understand that you know the heart of everyone; therefore, always confess their sins, repent, and return to you through their words as well as their deeds.

Father, help all who choose to focus on pleasing those who are conformed to this world. Help all who know to do that which is right, but choose to do whatever it takes to please their flesh. Moreover, help those who know of you but have not formed a relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“The LORD sees everything you do, and he watches where you go. An evil man will be caught in his wicked ways; the ropes of his sins will tie him up. He will die because he does not control himself, and he will be held captive by his foolishness.”
Proverbs 5:21-23

YOU DO NOT BELONG TO YOURSELF

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 kneel in prayer in thankfulness for this blessed morning that was not promised.

They know that it is only because of your grace, mercy, and love that they have life. They know that, despite their shortcomings, your love for them is neverending.

They know that there is no greater love than yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that your Holy Spirit dwells within all who trust in your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know or understand that their “physical body” is a temple or sanctuary for the Holy Spirit, who lives in them and who was given to them by God.”

Help all to further know or understand that they do not belong to themselves, for they were bought by God for a price. So, honor God with their [physical] body.”

“When we give our lives to Christ, when we turn to Him in repentance and faith, He cleanses us of our sins, and He comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit. Once that happens, He begins to rule in our lives. In other words, He sets up His kingdom—His rule—within us. Only then does God take up residence in our lives through His Son.”

“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” 1 Corinthians 6:19

When they were challenged beyond measure, you provided them with the fortitude to rise above the occasion.

When they feared what was to come, they were reminded of your peace, which surpasses all understanding.

Father, help all to understand that there is neither one nor anything on earth that compares to your holy powers. Help them to put all their trust in you and continue to trust you for all things.

“Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:7

Selah.” Psalm 46:1-3

Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others.” 2 Corinthians 5:9–11
