THE REWARDS OF A GENUINE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed day in Christ! I’m grateful for your divine intervention.

As many have journeyed throughout this beautiful day, they thank you for your continued grace and mercy. When they are down, you always allow your son, Jesus Christ, to shine his light on them. When they are harboring over what has occurred in the past or that which has not come to fruition, you always show up and show out, right on time. Your blessings are never-ending, and your love always uplifts, restores, and renews them.

Father, help all to understand that there will be both good and bad experiences. Despite the good or bad, all experiences will have a way of better defining their path, walk, and destiny in this life.

Father, help all to focus on having a genuine and dependent relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to know that such relationships lead to pure happiness despite the negatives in their lives or in this world.

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

“For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:40

BELIEVING IN GOD, JESUS, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

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. They understand that life is not promised; therefore, they revere you through Jesus Christ for this blessing.

Father, help all who are unable to see life as a blessing due to the frequent unwanted circumstances that arise.

Help them to understand that life’s experiences sometimes occur so that they can become closer and more dependent on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, never allow the bad circumstances in life to cause their faith to diminish. Moreover, help them to understand that there is a greater purpose for all things.

“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:18-20

GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART, SO STAY CONSTANT

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to allow them to withstand the wiles of the devil. Despite their love for all, your love is the only constant in their life. Despite their concern and care for everyone, you are the only one who reciprocates this.

Father, help all who are continuously fulfilling the needs of others; however, such care is never provided or reciprocated.

Moreover, help all who experience the aforementioned to continue to be the people you have ordained them to be. In addition, instead of being angry or hurt, help them to continue to do your will through it all.

“But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7

PRAY FOR GOD’S PROTECTION

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning, they concentrate on the blessings instead of the downs of life. They understand that there is always a greater purpose for all things that occur. Some repercussions are greater than others; however, choosing to depend totally on you allows your children to lay all their burdens, heartaches, pain, challenges, and anxiety on you.

Father, help all to trust in you, for you know all things, and your love is genuine and never-ending. Help all to understand that jealousy and covetousness are instilled in those who claim to be the closest to them. Therefore, always pray for your armor and shield to protect them from the wiles of the devil.

“He said, “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield, my saving strength, my defender, and my place of safety. The Lord saves me from those who want to harm me. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies.”

2 Samuel 22: 2-4

TEMPORARY APPEASEMENT OR PERMANENT RESOLUTION

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 thank you for your continued blessings. They know that today was not promised; therefore, they make the most of their day because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Instead of allowing doubt to fester within them, they push through obstacles, knowing that you will never allow your children to be forsaken. Instead of allowing their circumstances to depict their future, they trust that you will continue to encamp your angels around them as you embrace them with your armor and shield to protect, guide, and direct.

Father, help all to understand that your love is never-ending, pure, flawless, and constant. Help all to seek you and not the things of this world, for what is of the world is temporary, and what is of you is never-ending.

Father, help all to understand that you came so that all may have life and have it more abundantly.

“I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.” John 10:28-30

BECAUSE OF GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their #SONday journey, they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness. Because of you, through Christ, they have life and have it more abundantly. Because of you, they no longer worry about what tomorrow may bring because today’s blessings suffice.

Instead of doubting themselves, they cling to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things, because you have never forsaken them.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves to understand that it is not just them who have made their dreams come to fruition; it is your holy spirit, which dwells within them, that has allowed them to redirect their path through their darkness, trials, sickness, troubles, and strongholds, as well as through lightness, tests, wellness, peace, and joy.

“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5

It is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life and have it more abundantly.

They know that if it were not for you, through Jesus Christ, they would not have made it this far. Therefore, they give you all their troubles, obstacles, darkness, and difficulties, realizing that you allow them to smile despite their despair.

Father, help all to not allow their pains in life to stop them from living life fearlessly and abundantly. Help all to overcome their personal darkness with your light. Help them to further understand that you have not given them the spirit of fear and/or self-doubt.

“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:2, ESV
