FOCUSING ON GOD’S HOLY WORD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to your holy name for another day that was not promised. They smile because they know that it is only by your grace that they are given another opportunity to change their ways and do what is right. They pray a prayer of thanksgiving because you continue to see them as worthy despite their shortcomings.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves and never take the gift of life for granted. Help them to understand that you have appointed everyone a time to be born and a time to die—a physical death—to experience a spiritual life with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to understand that only you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, know the timing of physical death and spiritual awakening. Therefore, focus on your holy word and not the cares of the world.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

SPIRITUALLY REWARDING

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, “Thank you.” They know that it is only by your grace that they have life on this blessed morning. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what isn’t going right, they focus on the gift of life.

Father, help all to take time out of their busy schedules to appreciate you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to realize that life is full of ups and downs, wins and losses, good and bad, as well as advances and setbacks. However, worshipping you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through it all, is spiritually rewarding.

“Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done.” Revelation 22:12

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they send praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another morning that was not promised. As they arise, they know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it so abundantly.

Despite their aches and pains, setbacks, heartaches, challenges, and difficulties, they move forward, knowing that there is a greater purpose for all things. Therefore, if they just cling to you and do not lean on their own standing, all things will work out for their good.

Father, help us all to be grateful despite our downs in life. Moreover, help all to understand that if there were no downs in life, there would be no growth, as well as no dependency on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” When we seek God with all of our hearts and draw near to Him, we will feel His presence once again.” James 4:8

REBUKING THE EVIL SPIRIT

Father, praise your holy name 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 pause to give you praise for your continued blessings. They know that it is only because of your unfailing love that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the daily blessings that you continue to bestow on them.

In addition, they adorn themselves with your breastplate of righteousness, understanding that you have control over all things, people, and situations.

Father, help all to stop allowing the evil spirit to cause them to question their peace and happiness.

Help them know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, will forever love, embrace, support, protect, guide, and direct them to a place of peace, happiness, harmony, and serenity.

Help them to also know that anything that is opposite to the aforementioned is not of you or your Son, Jesus Christ.

“And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Matthew 17:18-20

Father, help all to understand that no one on earth has a heaven or hell to put them in. However, worshipping others or worldly possessions instead of you and your Son, Jesus Christ, leads to a point of no return.

“You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.” Nehemiah 9:6

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:4-7
