HAVE YOU TRULY EVALUATED YOURSELF?

Father, praise your holy name for this marvelously blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all the glory for always loving, covering, protecting, guiding, healing, restoring, and renewing them.

Although they fall short of your glory daily, your love for them never dissipates. Although they know your holy word and choose to do the opposite, you continuously forgive, provide, and guide.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly to determine who they are truly serving. Moreover, help them to understand that tomorrow is never promised.

“1) Did I fill my mind with spiritual thoughts and refrain from distractions when I began the day?

2) Have I set aside time for prayer and fostered a prayerful spirit, or have I given way to distractions and laziness?

3) Have I lived today prepared for Christ’s second coming, or have I forgotten to watch for his return?

4) Have I walked by faith and remembered God throughout the day?”
~ Desk of Daniel J. Pentimone

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves—that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you fail to meet the test?”
2 Corinthians 13:5

TRUSTING GOD THROUGH IT ALL

Father, I am giving you all the praise for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they fall to their knees in prayer and supplication. They thank you for the good and bad experiences in life because it has allowed them to depend solely on you through Jesus Christ for all things.

Despite the pain they endured during their trials and tribulations, you continued comforting, loving, covering, and directing their walk in life.

Despite their pain, tears, depression, sadness, and heartaches, you continued to allow them to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication with a strong faith that there’s a greater purpose for all experiences.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are indeed the answer to all situations that occur in life. Therefore, continue to fight the good fight and know that their destiny has already been established. Therefore, just push through it all, knowing that your unwavering love outweighs all fear, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and pain. Therefore, put all their trust in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

A STRONG DEPENDENCE ON GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, I give you all the praise, honor, and glory for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your incomparable love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile because you continue to encamp your angels around them and their dwelling place as they sleep. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Therefore, they pray for the forgiveness of their sins, both known and unknown. They also pray for your continued divine direction, through their good as well as their not-so-good days.

Father, help all to understand the importance of a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them understand that with you, they can endure all things. Moreover, help them to have a pure heart and a clean conscience, depending on you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song, I praise him.”

GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your unconditional love. They know that, had it not been for your grace and mercy, they would not be present in the body. They know that if it were not for the joy you provided them throughout their darkest days, they would not be able to smile.

Therefore, instead of dwelling on the negatives in life, they push through their adversities, knowing that your Holy Spirit is always present, protecting, directing, comforting, loving, and keeping them.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all disappointments, failures, trials, sickness, strongholds, stress, sadness, heartaches, pain, depression, fear, and/or failures. Therefore, cling closely to you through their good and their bad, knowing that you will see them through all things.

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”

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

DO NOT DELAY, TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 give you all the glory for another day that was not promised. They know that it is only by your grace that they are worthy to walk, talk, hear, see, think, and/or smell. Therefore, instead of complaining about what isn’t going right, they focus on living righteously through it all. Instead of doubting possibilities, they hold on tightly to the hope that is derived from you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Father, help all to understand that you are all powerful, forever fateful, never forsaking, and always abounding. Help all to further understand that it is only because of your grace and mercy that they are given many second chances to get their lives together. Therefore, do not delay, because tomorrow is not promised.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Matthew 6:33-34

GOD’S INCOMPARABLE LOVE

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they bow to their knees to thank you for leading, guiding, directing, comforting, loving, and forgiving them of their sins. They know it is only through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they are made whole as they repent of their sins. Therefore, they confess their sins, proclaim their commitment, and walk forward in life abiding in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily.

Father, help all to understand that you are not expecting perfection, but you do seek those who love you with all their heart, with all their soul, with all their mind, and with all their strength.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.”
John 15:13-16
