GOD CAUSES ALL THINGS TO COME TO FRUITION

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

Father, as many have awakened and begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Despite their challenges, losses, and spiritual warfare endured, you continue to lift them up and allow them to stand strong in faith.

They know that it is only you who can bring them through their trials and tribulations. Therefore, they continue to push through obstacles, trusting in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for strength and deliverance.

Father, help all to know that you are the answer to all of their needs, wants, and desires. Help them to understand that in due time all will subside and they will continue walking the path that you have established for them to reach the goal that you have orchestrated for them.

“In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. Ephesians 1:11-12

LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCES

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

Father, as many have awakened on this beautiful morning, they sing praises to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, for granting them another day to make a difference.

Instead of doing the same thing and expecting different results, they pause to evaluate their goals and accomplishments, as well as their shortcomings and setbacks. They understand that they cannot change what has occurred, but they can learn from their various experiences of heartaches, pains, setbacks, and setups.

Father, help all to realize that through you and your Son, Jesus Christ, they are renewed and restored daily. Father, help all to come to you for all things, realizing that all prayers are answered in your timing in conjunction with the timing of whoever requests your help.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7

GOD’S LOVE

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning to get it right. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for bringing them through another night and to this blessed morning. They understand that it is only by your grace that they have life. Therefore, they give thanks to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your agape love, forgiveness, faithfulness, and protection.

Instead of dwelling on what has not been obtained or accomplished, they focus on the holy word and your continued blessings. Had it not been for such blessings, they would not have been able to endure the trials and maintain their righteous state of mind.

Father, help all to start each day anew, focusing on your blessings and ensuring that they do not take their blessings for granted. Help them to understand that nothing in life is perfect or promised; therefore, focus on their blessing to witness another day and to accomplish their goals in life, as well as helping others to accomplish their goals.

“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” 1 John 4:16

A DEPENDENCY ON GOD

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

Father, as many have been blessed to witness this beautiful morning, they praise your holy name for being ever-present in their lives. They know that it is only because of your grace and mercy that they have life, and they have it abundantly.

Father, help all to learn to depend upon you for all things. Help them to know that despite how things may appear and how they may sometimes feel as if it is them against the world, your holy spirit is forever present in their lives. Therefore, continue to depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit at all times.

“My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; he is mine forever.” Psalm 73:26

GAINING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your presence in my life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they glorify your holy name for allowing them another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to uplift, restore, and renew. Despite their wavering faith, you continue to provide, guide, and direct.

Father, help all to understand that they should always make you, through your Son Jesus Christ, their first priority. Help all to take time out of their daily schedules to read and study your holy word. Help them to understand that the more knowledge they have concerning your holy word, the better they can understand the tactics and trickery of the devil.

“Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.” Proverbs 4:5-6

GOD ALLOWS SMILES FROM WITHIN

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank You”. If it weren’t for you, they would not be in the right state of mind this morning. If it were not for you, they would not have survived their most heartbreaking experience. If it were not for you, they would not have been able to push through their darkness. If it were not for you, they would not be able to understand that your love is indeed unconditional.

Father, help all to understand that when they have unfathomable experiences and pains in life, you are always present to comfort, guide, direct, restore, renew, and keep them. Help those who have experienced and continue to experience many ups and downs in life understand that there is always a greater purpose for all things.

Moreover, help them to cling to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things, and they will be able to smile from within again.

“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

STAY THE COURSE

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they bow to their knees as they thank you for your grace, mercy, and unconditional love. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. In spite of their sins, after true repentance, you continue to forgive them and make them whole. Therefore, they cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, as they encounter and pass the tests in life.

Father, help all to open their eyes and understand that what goes around comes around. Help all to pray for your divine direction. Help them understand that there will be many forces trying to impede their lives. However, stay the course, for you have never and will never forsake them.

“You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him.” Psalms 119:1-8

A CHOSEN PATH

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 begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have been given another opportunity to make a difference. Therefore, they pray a prayer of repentance and thankfulness. They focus more on glorifying you through your Son, Jesus Christ, than glorifying themselves or others on earth. They recognize that there is nothing in life that they have accomplished, achieved, provided, gained, or earned without you. Therefore, they continue to trust in you for all things, including your daily guidance, direction, protection, healing, and spiritual renewal.

Father, help all to realize that all goodness comes from you. Help them understand that you know all things and have prepared a path that is best for each person. However, some give in to the thirst of the flesh and choose to walk the path that leads to destruction instead of the path that leads to salvation.

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11

GOD DELIVERS US THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for my continued spiritual connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have been blessed to witness another day in Christ, they praise you for another day to get it right. Despite their continued efforts to live righteously, they fall short every day. Therefore, they pray for forgiveness and a stronger will to keep you first in their daily journey.

They often feel like Paul did in Romans 7. “Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law, but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!”

Father, help all to understand that no one on this earth is perfect, and all will fall short of your glory daily; however, your Son, Jesus Christ, died and was resurrected so that all can have salvation.

Help all to pray, worship, confess their sins, repent, be baptized, and cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily. Help them also to remember that God knows every thought as well as the motives behind every good and bad deed.

“For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:14

“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14.

THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN GOD’S LOVE

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for your continued grace and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they thank you for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to push them through and to the path of righteousness. Despite their difficulties, they have vowed to look past yesterday and focus on today. They know that as long as they put all their heart and trust in you, they will never be disappointed. They further understand that you are Alpha and Omega, and you know and are in control of all things. Although, you allow everyone to choose their path in life, you always show up to redirect them to the path that is more advantageous to accomplish what you have designed for them to accomplish, be and/or become.

Father, help all to trust in you for all things. Help them to understand that their timing does not determine your timing and/or will for them. Help them to understand that they should cling closely to your unchanging hands during the good as well as the bad. Moreover, help them understand that you come so that they may life, and have it abundantly!

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8
