AIMING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

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. They try to never take the gift of life for granted; however, they fall short because no one on earth is perfect. Because they know that life is a gift from you, they cherish each day that you allow them to present themselves as your child.

Father, help all to understand that there is nothing done on earth that is hidden from you. Therefore, confess and repent of their sins, as well as pray for your divine direction.

Father, help all to understand that it is only by grace that they have life. Therefore, instead of taking advantage of your unconditional love, aim to do what is righteous in accordance with you and your teachings.

“But you, Timothy, man of God, run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.”
1 Timothy 6:11–12

GOD WILL REDIRECT YOUR STEPS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise for your continued blessings, grace, favor, and mercy.

Father, help all to examine themselves to understand their own shortcomings. Help them to remain in constant prayer so that you can redirect their steps.

Despite their shortcomings, you have never failed them. Despite them knowing to do that which is right but choosing to do whatever satisfies the desires of their heart, you continue to forgive and redirect their path.

“A man’s heart deviseth his way, but the LORD directs his steps.”

YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN

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

Father, help all to understand that you did not bring them this far to ignore their needs and/or wants. Therefore, instead of focusing on what did not occur, focus on the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For you are bought with a price; therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your unconditional love. They know that, had it not been for your grace and mercy, they would not be present in the body. They know that if it were not for the joy you provided them throughout their darkest days, they would not be able to smile.

Therefore, instead of dwelling on the negatives in life, they push through their adversities, knowing that your Holy Spirit is always present, protecting, directing, comforting, loving, and keeping them.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all disappointments, failures, trials, sickness, strongholds, stress, sadness, heartaches, pain, depression, fear, and/or failures. Therefore, cling closely to you through their good and their bad, knowing that you will see them through all things.

The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”

Psalm 32:8

AN OVERCOMER IN CHRIST

DOING WHAT IS RIGHT

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” It is only by your grace and mercy that they have life. Despite their continued shortcomings, you are faithful, loving, and forgiving. There is no one like you, and perpetrators are easily revealed and eventually provoked to true repentance.

Father, help all to understand that there is no “them” without you. Help them understand that you are aware of their thoughts prior to making plans to hurt, lie, and/or manipulate others. Despite you allowing your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross so that all can have salvation, they still continue to do what pleases the soul instead of what pleases you.

Father, help all to realize that, despite man not being able to see through their many facades, you know and see all things. Therefore, do what is right in accordance with you, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

“To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” Proverbs 21:3

Despite their bad days, you allow them to smile and push through their troubles. They know that when their plans do not turn out how they expect them to, they must continue to praise you, for you know and see all things. In addition, your plans for them are always greater than they could ever imagine.

Father, help all to understand that you are always present in their life. Help them to understand that life is better with you than without you. Help them to also understand that although trouble may arise, you will never foresake them.

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8

HOW IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?

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 have allowed them to awaken to witness another beautiful morning that was not promised.

Help them also understand that no one on earth is perfect; therefore, remain steadfast in prayer and supplication as they push through adversities, obstacles, darkness, and/or difficulties.

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:1-2
