THE GOD-POWER WITHIN YOU!

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they send praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on the negativity that arises daily, they focus on the peace that you allow to reside within them.

Father, help all to know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, come so that they may have life and have it more abundantly. Help them to understand that you “give power to the faint, and to him who has no might, you increases strength.”

Therefore, do not faint when troubles arise, for “You have been given the God-power within you to have the good you desire.” Luke 17:21

TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOD THROUGH CHRIST

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 a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life. They know that your love is never-ending; therefore, they continue to push through negativity, darkness, difficulties, and other distractions through their faith and dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know that there will be days where they may want to give up; however, they must remember that the trials in life are tests or measures needed to push them to a total dependence upon you through Christ, and not a dependence upon themselves or man.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9–10

GOD’S TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the glory for another day that was not promised. They smile because you continue to forgive, provide, protect, direct, and guide.

They realize that despite their current situation, they must push forward and walk in faith, knowing that answered prayers await them. They know that their timing is not yours; therefore, they pray for patience and total deliverance from doubt. They understand that saying that they have faith but not walking in faith is contradictory; therefore, they have learned to pray that your will is done.

Father, help all to focus on what you have purposed for them and not on what they purpose for themselves. Help all to remember that you have already predestined their walk in life; therefore, focus on studying to show themselves approved, and all things will turn out for their good.

“For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”
Habakuk 2:3

Therefore, instead of giving up on life, circumstances, and/or dreams, keep pushing forward in life, their circumstances, and/or pains in life, knowing that you will never forsake them.

The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” Deuteronomy 31:8

AN EVER-PRESENT GOD

Father, give you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the ability to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have started their #SONday journey, they smile, for they have been blessed to witness another beautiful morning that is never promised. Their hearts are filled with joy, for they continue to receive your blessings that are beyond measure.

When they are sad, you lift their spirits. When they are lonely, you let them know that you are always present. When they doubt, you confirm your will for them. When they begin to trail a path of destruction, you redirect their thoughts and their walk.

Father, help all to truly understand that you are ever-present and will always love, direct, and protect them.

THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, ‘Thank You’. It is only by your grace that they have another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them is never-ending. Therefore, they have made a commitment to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, to break the chain of intentional sins and live righteously. They know it is easier said than done; however, all things are possible with you.

Father, help all to understand that the beginning of change starts in the heart or mind of those who want to live according to your holy word and not to the things that cause glorification in themselves.

Father, help all to choose righteousness over intentional sins.

“The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” Romans 8:6

GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH IT ALL

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to thank you for the gift of life and the strength to push through their mental and physical woes. They thank you for the ability to remain focused on their goal of helping others through their own experiences in life. They understand that nothing in life is promised; therefore, they continue to trust in you for all things.

At the point where they wanted to give up, you gave them a reason to smile. At the time they wanted to isolate themselves, you allowed them to find comfort in socializing with loved ones as well as strangers. When they hesitated when it came to trusting others, you allowed them to have peace within their soul. When they were overwhelmed because of their hidden disabilities, you allowed them to push through by focusing on your ultimate purpose.

Father, help all to realize that as long as they put you first, all will work out for the good of those who love you, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to know that there is a greater purpose for their trials and tribulations; therefore, never give up on life.

“Let us then, with confidence, draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

WHOSE TIMING ARE YOU TRUSTING?

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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life. They know that today would not have been possible had it not been for your grace and mercy. Despite their falling short of your glory, you continue to forgive, provide for, protect, and carry them through their ups and downs in life. They now know that there is nothing in life that is worth having if they have to live unrighteously to gain it.

Father, help all to understand that everyone has choices to make daily. Help them to understand that the choices that they make today may not only rule their tomorrow, but they could affect their life. Therefore, I pray to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

Help them to further understand that you have all power and authority over all things, situations, and life itself. Therefore, put all their hope, faith, and trust in you for all things, remembering that your timing does not always coincide with theirs.

“In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all things and/or situations that have or will occur. Help them to further understand that they might not understand what is going on now, but be confident in knowing that in due time, their circumstances will work out for their good.
