YOU DO NOT BELONG TO YOURSELF

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 kneel in prayer in thankfulness for this blessed morning that was not promised.

They know that it is only because of your grace, mercy, and love that they have life. They know that, despite their shortcomings, your love for them is neverending.

They know that there is no greater love than yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that your Holy Spirit dwells within all who trust in your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know or understand that their “physical body” is a temple or sanctuary for the Holy Spirit, who lives in them and who was given to them by God.”

Help all to further know or understand that they do not belong to themselves, for they were bought by God for a price. So, honor God with their [physical] body.”

“When we give our lives to Christ, when we turn to Him in repentance and faith, He cleanses us of our sins, and He comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit. Once that happens, He begins to rule in our lives. In other words, He sets up His kingdom—His rule—within us. Only then does God take up residence in our lives through His Son.”

“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” 1 Corinthians 6:19

CONTINUE TO TRUST GOD

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed day that was not promised. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

“Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!” Psalm 40:4.

DOING WHAT IS RIGHT

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” It is only by your grace and mercy that they have life. Despite their continued shortcomings, you are faithful, loving, and forgiving. There is no one like you, and perpetrators are easily revealed and eventually provoked to true repentance.

Father, help all to understand that there is no “them” without you. Help them understand that you are aware of their thoughts prior to making plans to hurt, lie, and/or manipulate others. Despite you allowing your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross so that all can have salvation, they still continue to do what pleases the soul instead of what pleases you.

Father, help all to realize that, despite man not being able to see through their many facades, you know and see all things. Therefore, do what is right in accordance with you, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

“To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” Proverbs 21:3

WITH YOU, LORD!

Despite their continued ups and downs in life, they move forward knowing that all things are possible with you and that through their downs, you have never forsaken them. They pray for your continued guidance despite their downs in life. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit, that they are able to stand through and beyond the continued tests that they encounter.

Father, help all to study your word daily, rightly dividing it, to show themselves approved. Help them to stop leaning on their own understanding, for their thoughts are not your thoughts. Moreover, help them to cling to you through their good and bad days, for you are always present and will allow them to withstand all things as they depend upon you, your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”

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
