WHO DICTATES YOUR WALK IN LIFE?

Father, I give you all the praise for a peaceful night of rest and the gift of life on this beautiful morning that was not promised.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. 

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. 

They know that there are many who see their kindness as a weakness, failing to realize that the love that they have for all is indeed essential, as Jesus Christ says, “Love your neighbors as you love yourself.”

Father, help all to evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word and apply such understanding. Help them to not allow others to dictate their walk in life. 

“I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17

“Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:6

NO GREATER LOVE

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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not occur, they focus on your holy word and the blessings that you continuously bestow upon them. 

Despite the trials they have experienced, their faith in you has grown stronger than ever, for they feel your presence and love as they continue to endure trials and tribulations, which allows them to never give up or in. 

Father, help all to establish a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that there is no greater relationship than with you through Jesus Christ. 

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

BAPTISM IS ESSENTIAL 

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.

Father, as many have awakened to witness another day, they bow down on their knees to honor and glorify your holy name. 

Despite their unintentional as well as intentional sins, you continue to forgive them as they repent and redirect their walk. They understand that life is a gift from you; therefore, they pray that you continue to forgive, provide, protect, and direct them to stay on the straight and narrow path to righteousness.

Father, help all to understand that you want the best for them, but they need to want the best for themselves. Help them to confess their sins, repent, and if not already, be baptized for the remission of their sins. 

“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:16

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:5

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4

Moreover, help them to understand that they cannot serve two masters; therefore, they must choose you or the world, knowing that you are the only one, through your Son, Jesus Christ, who will never foresake them.
