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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life and your continued blessings!

They are grateful to you for allowing them to awaken and see another day.

They have repented of their sins and prayed that they would be led by your holy spirit, but despite knowing what to do, they continue to do whatever it takes to gain worldly approval, not spiritual approval.

They say whatever sounds good to place them in the light; however, their inner being is filled with darkness and deceitfulness.

They look the part, but forget that regardless of what others may perceive, you know all things.

They gloat at the misfortunes of others, although they are consistently lifted by you during their darkest moments.

They compete against others while secretly watching their progress in life as well as your favor over their life.

They hate when others, who have a genuine relationship with you, praise you for their good as well as their bad. 

However, they still choose to seek favor from those who are accepted, worshipped, and put upon a pedestal because of their popularity and/or association with a particular group, class, and/or title.

Father, help all to tread carefully. Help them understand that you know, see, and hear everything. Moreover, no person can atone for their sins. Therefore, keep their minds on you in all areas of life.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3
