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.

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.”

GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile, for they know that it is only by your grace that they have life.

“In the beginning was the Word (the Word became flesh… Jesus Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” He was with God in the beginning.

Through him, all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:1-5

TEMPORARY VERSUS PERMANENT HAPPINESS

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 give you all the glory for your unwavering love and protection.

Despite their daily struggles, they are blessed with the ability to call upon your holy name when their burdens become heavy and/or unbearable. They know that you will never forsake them, and you will always protect, guide, direct, and restore them.

Father, help all to realize that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the aforementioned love is never-ending and always abounding. Therefore, instead of depending on the favor and/or the ability of man to cause their temporary happiness, put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for permanent happiness.

“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

2 Corinthians 4:16–18
