AS GOD HAS PURPOSED

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your unconditional love and ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, for all can have salvation.  Despite their shortcomings, your love never dissipates.  

Father, please help all to never take your grace, mercy, and love for granted.  

Help them to examine themselves daily and always judge themselves in accordance with your holy word, and leave the judgement of others to you. 

Help all to understand that you know and see all things. Therefore, do what, and be who, you have purposed for them.

“Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.” 
~2 Timothy 1:8-11

GOD’S DISCERNMENT

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! Despite their shortcomings, you continue to guide, protect, and uplift. As they focus on that which brings them closer to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, they pray for your discernment to reveal the true identity of others.

Father, help all to understand that many will say one thing, but do or feel the opposite; therefore, put their trust in you and not man.  Help all to realize that you know all things; therefore, always pray for spiritual discernment and guidance to walk the path that you have established for them.  

“For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.  And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.   It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”
2 Corinthians 11:13-15

ALIGNED WITH GOD’S HOLY WORD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they awaken in peace and happiness.  They know that because of you through your Son Jesus Christ, they have been blessed with the gift of life. Therefore, instead of complaining about what didn’t or did go right, they move forward, knowing that there is a greater purpose for their experiences.  As a result, they embrace your holy word and pray accordingly.  They understand that spiritual growth comes from experiences: trials and tribulations, setbacks, heartaches, pain, challenges, and lessons learned.

Father, help all to pay more attention to your holy word, for such would instill direction, keenness, adaptability, faith, hope, trust, security, peace, love, happiness, and joy.

“Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” Romans 8:30.

ALL THINGS ARE BEARABLE WITH 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 are beginning their morning journey, they first pause to give you all the glory for the gift of life.  They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are present in the body.  They also repent of their sins, and pray for your guidance and deliverance.

In addition, they pray for the ability to keep their minds stayed upon you, for when they are able to do such, the darkness dissipates.  

Father, help all to understand that in life, trials will come and go.  Help them to understand that some experiences may have them to doubt you and believe that they are unable to bear. However, in due time, lessons are learned, and their spiritual walk becomes more bearable.

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

OVERCOMING ALL OBSTACLES

Father, praising 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 bow to their knees in a prayer of thankfulness. They understand that in life, they will experience plights as well as good fortune. Therefore, they learn to accept the bad with the good, through prayer, and by having a total dependency upon you.  

Father, help all to make it through this day understanding that victory is indeed theirs. Help all to realize that all power comes from you, through Christ and your Holy Spirit.  Help all to have faith that, with you, they are able to push through all obstacles, for you are indeed almighty. Help all to also understand that, “obstacles aren’t meant to defeat us or deter us but to direct us and keep us dependent on God.”

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” 1 John 5:4

CLING CLOSELY TO GOD

Father, praising your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.  I’m grateful for your grace and mercy.

Therefore, they cling more closely to you because you have all power for them to withstand the various tactics and wiles of the devil.

Father, help all continue to put you first, knowing that you have total control over all things and situations.

AN ABSOLUTE 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 begun their morning journey, they thank you for another day that was not promised. Despite their pain, agony, sickness, and/or shortcomings, they continue to push through their obstacles, knowing that your light will always guide them to true peace and happiness.  

Father, help all to continue to push through their troubles realizing that with such experiences, their faith an absolute dependence on you increases and eventually becomes contagious to those who long for a relationship with 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 62:5-12
