KNOWING THE ORIGINATION OF TESTS AND TEMPTATIONS

Father, praise your holy name for this beautiful morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice!

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises for another day that was not promised. They awakened with their minds, which stayed upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that it is only because of you that they have life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, protect, uplift, restore, renew, and direct them to the path of righteousness.

Father, help all who feel like giving up or giving in. Help them to understand that there will be many tests from you and many temptations from Satan. However, be strong, for their faith in you through your Son Jesus Christ, will bring them through for you to come so they may have life and have it more abundantly.

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor tempteth he any man.”
James 1:13 “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.”
James 1:13

“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.”
1 Peter 1:7

TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOD THROUGH CHRIST

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 a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life. They know that your love is never-ending; therefore, they continue to push through negativity, darkness, difficulties, and other distractions through their faith and dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know that there will be days where they may want to give up; however, they must remember that the trials in life are tests or measures needed to push them to a total dependence upon you through Christ, and not a dependence upon themselves or man.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9–10

GOD’S TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the glory for another day that was not promised. They smile because you continue to forgive, provide, protect, direct, and guide.

They realize that despite their current situation, they must push forward and walk in faith, knowing that answered prayers await them. They know that their timing is not yours; therefore, they pray for patience and total deliverance from doubt. They understand that saying that they have faith but not walking in faith is contradictory; therefore, they have learned to pray that your will is done.

Father, help all to focus on what you have purposed for them and not on what they purpose for themselves. Help all to remember that you have already predestined their walk in life; therefore, focus on studying to show themselves approved, and all things will turn out for their good.

“For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”

CHOOSING GOD’S WAY

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you”. It is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Although some have fallen by the wayside due to focusing on what they see as happiness, they are more concerned with what is more pleasing to the mastiff than what pleases you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves based on what you desire from them instead of what is more desirable in the world.

“I have chosen the faithful way; I have placed Your ordinances before me.” Psalm 119:30

WHO ARE YOU TRUSTING?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your continued grace and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pray a prayer of thankfulness for all that you have done and continue to do for them and their family. They know that if it had not been for you through your Son, Jesus Christ, they would not have made it this far in life.

When they were down, you renewed their mindset. When they were challenged, you pushed them beyond measure to obtain the victory. When they were sick, you restored their health. When they mourned the death of a loved one, you assured them that he or she was in your presence.

Father, help all to stop gambling with their lives and put all their being in you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them understand that you know, see, and have power over all things; therefore, they should connect with you through Christ at all times.
