STEPPING INTO YOUR PURPOSE 

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

Father, as many have been blessed to witness this special day that was not promised, they pause to say, “Thank you”! They understand, with all of their hearts, that it’s only because of your grace, mercy, and love that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. They know that throughout their journey in life, you have always covered, protected, directed, provided, and loved them beyond understanding. Therefore, instead of them focusing on what did or did not occur in accordance with their own understanding, they focused on what did occur in accordance with your grace and mercy.

Father, help all to seek and represent you in all that they do and say. Help them to depend on you at all times. Moreover, help them to always represent you as they step into the purpose that you have established for them.

“For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus, for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

GOD IS THE ANSWER 

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 smile because you continue to provide, guide, direct, restore, and renew their walk in life. 

When they fall short of your glory, your love continues to flourish for them, far beyond their comprehension. When they know to do right but choose to do what pleases their flesh, you forgive them after repentance and redirect their path and their mindset. 

Father, help all to understand that there is no greater love than yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to further understand that you are the answer to all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, troubles, disappointments, failures, trials, and tribulations. 

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. Isaiah 65:24.

NO GREATER LOVE

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because, despite their trials and tribulations, you have made them whole. 

Because of your unconditional love, they are aware of their worth and understand that they are victorious in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Despite their shortcomings, your love for them is never-ending. Therefore, they cling closely to you, expecting nothing less than greatness. They repent of their sins and pray for your continued blessings, grace, mercy, and guidance.

Father, help all to understand that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the words I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain on the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.” John 15:1-4

PREVAILING WITH THE LORD!

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” Romans 8:1-4

Father, help all to take time out of their busy schedules to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly in accordance with your holy word. Help them to know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they can continue to push through obstacles, trusting in you through the good and the bad, and knowing that you have never and will never forsaken them.

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide. So that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” John 15:16

WHAT’S YOUR FOCUS? 

Father, give you all the praise for another blessed day in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have made it through another day, they thank you for the opportunity to make a difference and remain strong in your Holy Word during their good as well as bad experiences. 

Despite their continued difficulties in life, they are confident in knowing that as long as they keep their faith in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they are more than able to continue on the path you have established for them. 

They know that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” Therefore, they push through their adversities, trials, obstacles, darkness, and roadblocks to peace, joy, tranquility, light, and victory.

They know that you did not give them the spirit of fear, anger, or self-righteousness, but of courage, patience, and humility. Therefore, they set themselves apart from anything or anyone that may cause them to do the opposite of what they know is acceptable to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the[a] paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.”
Hebrews 12:1-2

In addition, they pray that everyone puts aside differences to help renew and restore their mindset to focus on the things that bring joy, happiness, and increased faith.

They give you all the praises for the gift of life, as well as for the ability to think and react appropriately, in accordance with your will for them.  They thank you for their safe dwelling place, the food that you have allowed them to posses, as well as the transportation that you have given them to make it to and from. They also thank you for the shoes and clothing that you have adorned them with, allowing  them to cover and protect their bodies appropriately. 

Moreover, they thank you for your divine direction, forgiveness, faithfulness, salvation, and love that you continuously cover them with despite their shortcomings.
