DEPENDENCY 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 have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings.
Despite their sins, you forgive them after true repentance and guide them back to the path of righteousness.

When they were tempted by the pleasures of this world, you reminded them of their past experiences and how you brought them through such darkness as they called on your holy name.

Father, help all to know that you are always present and will never forsake them. Help them to depend upon you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

CHOOSE RIGHTEOUSNESS OVER SINFULNESS

Father, I’m giving you all the glory 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 say a prayer of thanksgiving. They smile because you not only protected them as they slept but also provided them with the gift of life. Although they sin and fall short of your glory daily, you continue to allow them an opportunity to repent, confess their sins, and change their lives, beginning with a changed heart and mindset. Instead of sinning purposefully, they pray for your divine direction and forgiveness. Although all sin and fall short of your glory daily, they are more intentional about applying your holy word to their lives.

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to choose righteousness over sinfulness. Help all to further understand that lip service without action is just words used in vain.

“The Lord says: “These people come near to me with their mouths and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.” Isaiah 29:13

A DEPENDENCY 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 have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” They are grateful for another day that was not promised. Instead of allowing their circumstances to depict their mood, they choose happiness. Instead of allowing doubt to fester within, they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness for what is to come. They understand that what you have purposed for them is far greater than their former experiences.

Father, help all to understand that you know all things. Therefore, place all their faith in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6

CLINGING ON TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pray a prayer of thankfulness. Because of you, they are able to witness another day that was not promised. Because of you, they sing praise through their good and their bad. Because of you, they understand that your love is unconditional and is always abounding.

Father, help all to understand that there will be good, bad, and indifferent days. However, your love for them remains constant. There is no wavering or this for that, because true love does not keep score and waive such annoyances.

Father, help all to search your holy word daily to ascertain what your will is for them. Help them understand that in life they will have heartaches, headaches, and other illnesses. Help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings, I will sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.”
Proverbs 3:5–6

DO NOT DELAY, TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 day that was not promised. They know that it is only by your grace that they are worthy to walk, talk, hear, see, think, and/or smell. Therefore, instead of complaining about what isn’t going right, they focus on living righteously through it all. Instead of doubting possibilities, they hold on tightly to the hope that is derived from you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Father, help all to understand that you are all powerful, forever fateful, never forsaking, and always abounding. Help all to further understand that it is only because of your grace and mercy that they are given many second chances to get their lives together. Therefore, do not delay, because tomorrow is not promised.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 6:33-34

GOD CREATES WITHIN US A CLEAN HEART AND A NEW SPIRIT

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

THE WORD OF GOD IS ALIVE AND ACTIVE!

Father, praise your holy name 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 praise and uplift your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. They know that it is only by grace that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t occurred, they walk forward in faith, knowing that, in your timing, all prayers will definitively lead to fruition.

They understand that you know all things and have power over all things. Therefore, they will continue to put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all who have lost faith in your holy word. Help them to know that when they are not strong in faith, that is when they are tempted and are more likely to fall prey to the tactics of Satan. Therefore, remain strong, steadfast, and trusting in you as you clothe them with the breastplate of righteousness, walking in confidence that no weapons formed against them will prosper. Help them to cling closely to your unchanging, praying for the forgiveness of their sins as well as for discernment, guidance, direction, protection, and continued faith.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it so abundantly. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, and guide.

Father, help all to realize that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your holy spirit, direct, carry, and sustain them through their ups as well as their downs. Help them to understand that you will never forsake them; therefore, continue to push through life experiences, knowing that you are all powerful, forever protecting, never forsaking, and always abounding.

WILL YOU CONTINUE TO TRUST GOD?

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 fall to their knees in a prayer of thankfulness. They know that today was not promised; yet, they have life. Despite their shortcomings, sin, and continuously falling short of your glory, you thought that they were worthy. Therefore, they pray for forgiveness and for you to continue to direct their steps toward total peace, happiness, joy, and love.

Father, help all to understand that there will be days when their burdens become heavy and/or unbearable. There will be days when they no longer believe that they are worthy. However, help all to understand that such thoughts are not of you, your Son, Jesus Christ, or your Holy Spirit. Father, help all to understand that the devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Therefore, maintain a pure relationship with you through their good as well as not-so-good days.

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” Psalm 143:8
