A GREATER PURPOSE

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning in Christ, they pray a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what went wrong or what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the gift of life and your continued blessings, guidance, direction, peace, grace, and direction.

They understand that there will be trials as well as tribulations; however, your love for them remains constant. They know that despite their challenges in life, you continue to see them through all circumstances and push them to greatness.

Father, help all to realize that you are the key to happiness during their most difficult experiences. Help them to also understand that there is a greater purpose for their experiences, which will soon be revealed. Therefore, remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, trusting in you for all things.

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:13-20

TAKE HEED, AIM TO LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY!

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Father, I am giving you all the glory on this blessed morning in Christ for the gift of life! I am grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning routine, they ensure that they praise you and uplift your holy name for your continued grace and mercy. They know that there is no one on earth that can compare with the love that you have for all. However, there are many who allow wealth and possessions to become their god. They begin to separate themselves from family and friends who are not as fortunate as they are, treating them as peasants because they now fall below their standards of living.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to determine if they are a true representation of you or not. Help them to understand that actions speak louder than words.

“But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” 1 John 3:17–18

TOMORROW IS NEVER PROMISED

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the peace and serenity that you provide to your children during their most difficult experiences.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they fall to their knees in prayer. Despite their worldly success, they feel defeated because their spiritual being is starving for a stronger connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. However, they fail to study your holy word. They cling to others whose hearts are far from yours. They act as if they are ashamed to be Christians in front of those who do not believe in you, but they call out your holy name when they are alone.

Father, help all to know that they cannot serve you and Satan. Help them to pray for discernment, guidance, direction, and peace, and to study your holy word daily. Help them to understand that tomorrow is never promised.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Suffficient for the day is its own trouble.” Matthew 6:33-34

THE POWER OF FAITH

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 smile because it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it abundantly. Despite their shortcomings, your love never changes. Despite knowing what to do but doing the opposite of it, you forgive their sins after true repentance. Instead of holding back your love from them, you provide an abundance of never-ending love.

Father, help all to understand that your love is like no other. Help them to really think about how you sacrificed your Son, Jesus Christ, for their salvation. In addition, help all to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication without doubt, and they will witness the power of faith.

“For we live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

“And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises of peace and joy. It is only by your grace that they are able to push through darkness and allow your light to continue to guide them to the path of righteousness.

Although they push through adversity and various obstacles to remain steadfast on the path of righteousness as well as keep their sanity, they sometimes miss the mark. However, because of your Son, Jesus Christ, as well as your Holy Spirit’s interaction in their lives, they are able to fight the various sources of negativity, confusion, and discourse.

Father, help all to understand that it is only by your grace that many are able to maintain their sanity and thought process, as well as fight the mental and physical pain they endure every second of the day. Moreover, help all to understand that you are the source of their freedom, healing, and restoration.
