OVERCOMING TEMPTATIONS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Despite their shortcomings and their falling short of your glory, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for always coming through for them in their time of need. They know that it is only because of your grace that they can smile through their most difficult experiences. They know that if it weren’t for you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they would not be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Therefore, they pray that they overcome temptation and remain connected with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, in all that they do and say.

Father, help all to stop focusing on the shortcomings of others and focus on their own shortcomings. Help all to stop judging others as if they have no sin, for everyone sins and falls short of your glory daily.

“No one undergoing a trial should say, ‘I am being tempted by God,’ since God is not tempted by evil, and he himself doesn’t tempt anyone.” James 1:13-14

EVALUATING YOUR FAITH AND DEEDS!

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 the gift of life.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. They know that, despite their shortcomings, your love never ceases. Therefore, they push through adversity, obstacles, envy, covetousness, manipulation, and jealousy from those whose hearts are far from you and walk in confidence, knowing that your love will always protect their spirit, faith, and walk in life, despite how trying their days may become.

Father, help everyone to realize that life is so much better with you than without you. Help them to understand that with you, chaos subsides, faith increases, and love overrides all negativity and doubt that tries to creep into their thoughts and actions.

Moreover, help them to know that you have all power; therefore, let go of the things, as well as people, that they cannot control or change, and focus on their own actions and inactions, and how such experiences can either positively or negatively affect their faith and/or deeds.

“So, you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith; others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” James 2:17-20
