LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCES

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

Father, as many have awakened on this beautiful morning, they sing praises to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, for granting them another day to make a difference.

Instead of doing the same thing and expecting different results, they pause to evaluate their goals and accomplishments, as well as their shortcomings and setbacks. They understand that they cannot change what has occurred, but they can learn from their various experiences of heartaches, pains, setbacks, and setups.

Father, help all to realize that through you and your Son, Jesus Christ, they are renewed and restored daily. Father, help all to come to you for all things, realizing that all prayers are answered in your timing in conjunction with the timing of whoever requests your help.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” James 1:5
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7

GOD’S LOVE

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning to get it right. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for bringing them through another night and to this blessed morning. They understand that it is only by your grace that they have life. Therefore, they give thanks to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your agape love, forgiveness, faithfulness, and protection.

Instead of dwelling on what has not been obtained or accomplished, they focus on the holy word and your continued blessings. Had it not been for such blessings, they would not have been able to endure the trials and maintain their righteous state of mind.

Father, help all to start each day anew, focusing on your blessings and ensuring that they do not take their blessings for granted. Help them to understand that nothing in life is perfect or promised; therefore, focus on their blessing to witness another day and to accomplish their goals in life, as well as helping others to accomplish their goals.

“And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” 1 John 4:16

A CHOSEN PATH

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 begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have been given another opportunity to make a difference. Therefore, they pray a prayer of repentance and thankfulness. They focus more on glorifying you through your Son, Jesus Christ, than glorifying themselves or others on earth. They recognize that there is nothing in life that they have accomplished, achieved, provided, gained, or earned without you. Therefore, they continue to trust in you for all things, including your daily guidance, direction, protection, healing, and spiritual renewal.

Father, help all to realize that all goodness comes from you. Help them understand that you know all things and have prepared a path that is best for each person. However, some give in to the thirst of the flesh and choose to walk the path that leads to destruction instead of the path that leads to salvation.

“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:11

ARE YOU CONNECTED WITH GOD?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your comfort during the various pains that I have experienced and continue to experience.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they pause to say, “Thank You, Father!” Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, and direct. Despite their hearing your holy word but refusing to obey it, you continue to provide a way of escape when they come into trials in which relief can only come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that no one, no substance, no money, no popularity, no prestige, no knowledge, and no riches can provide them with the kind of love, blessings, and joy that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, can and will always provide.

Help all to turn to you only so that you can make their lives better. Help them to never jeopardize their souls by depending on men instead of putting all their faith in you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to understand that troubles don’t last forever. Help them to understand that experience is the best teacher of lessons learned, especially when they are in connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

GOD’S HAS ALL CONTROL

Father, give you all praise for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love, protection, guidance, restoration, and peace.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their day, they smile because you have granted them another opportunity to get it right. They smile because they are able to examine themselves and determine where they have fallen short and repent of their sins. They smile because, despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive and redirect their path as well as their mindset.

Father, help all to understand that they always have a reason to smile, despite their pain, darkness, and/or difficulties in life. Help them to understand that with you, they have eternal life.

Father, help all to also realize that they can always depend upon you through their difficulties, because you control all things, situations, and people.

“In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.”
Ephesians 1:11-14

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pray a prayer of thankfulness. You continue to provide them with the greatest gift, the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and direct their steps to peace, joy, and have the willpower to continue pushing through adversities, obstacles, darkness, and setbacks. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what has occurred, they continue to focus on how you brought them through the turmoil that could have negativity altered their mindset and their ability to mentally move forward in life.

Father, help all to seek you during the good and bad, as well as their successes and failures. Help them to understand that a relationship with you builds them up physically, mentally, and spiritually.

“Anyone who wanders away from this teaching has no relationship with God. But anyone who remains in the teaching of Christ has a relationship with both the Father and the Son.”

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to thank you for your goodness. When they were sick, you healed them from head to toe. When they were challenged, you allowed them to stand firm in their decisions despite their disapproval of men.

Father, help all to continue to trust in your holy powers to pull and/or push them through their darkest experiences. Help them to always focus on pleasing you, through your Son Jesus Christ, in all things and/or situations.

They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are forgiven of their sins and allowed to start anew. They pray for a keen mindset, spiritual renewal, and peace beyond understanding. They know that you, through your Son Jesus Christ, are the answer to all of their needs and wants. They trust that you will continue to direct their path and know, without doubt, that no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all to understand that the devil comes in many disguises. Therefore, pray for discernment to attest truth from manipulation; spirituality from wickedness, and love from envy. Moreover, help all to trust in you that you will always guide and direct their steps.

PROTECT YOUR PEACE

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 thank you for another day that was not promised. They know that it is only by your grace that they are in their right state of mind and are focused on serving you through your Son Jesus Christ. Despite their adversaries, they push through adversities, understanding that all things are possible with you. In addition, they know that you have covered them with your breastplate of righteousness.

Father, help all to focus on the things that bring glory to you and sunshine in their life. Help them to know their limits and to separate themselves from anyone who dampens their spirit.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

GOD’S DISCERNMENT

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! Despite their shortcomings, you continue to guide, protect, and uplift. As they focus on that which brings them closer to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, they pray for your discernment to reveal the true identity of others.

Father, help all to understand that many will say one thing, but do or feel the opposite; therefore, put their trust in you and not man. Help all to realize that you know all things; therefore, always pray for spiritual discernment and guidance to walk the path that you have established for them.

“For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
