PLEASE GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!

Father, I praise your holy name for the gift of life. I’m grateful for the many second chances you have granted for me to get it right.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, they push through their obstacles and challenges knowing that you have never and will never forsake them.

Father, help all to understand that now is the time to stop talking about it and start being about it as they begin walking the path of righteousness.

Help them to understand that tomorrow is never promised; therefore, do that which is pleasing to God through his Son, Jesus Christ.

“For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

“But just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God, who tests our hearts.”

1 Thessalonians 2:4

Help them by directing their path and guiding their mindsets to that which expands excellency, obedience, and faithfulness.

WILL YOU CHOOSE GOD OVER THE WORLD?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ! I am grateful for the gift of life and another opportunity to turn wrongs into rights.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to push through their pain to peace and happiness. Despite their trials and adversities experienced, they find relief in knowing that you will never forsake them. Despite their shortcomings, you answer their prayers and start them anew. Despite their doubts, you show them who you are and whose they are as you answer prayers and uplift them from pain and agony to painlessness and joy.

Father, help all to take a look within themselves to determine whose they truly are—a child of yours or a child of the world. 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.

“If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; that is why the world hates you.” John 15:19

“Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39

GOD’S TIMING OVER YOUR TIMING

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to inhale life and release the negativity that seems to fester rapidly.

Help all to always come to you in prayer before making any decisions. Help them to realize that it is better to focus on your timing over their own timing.

“God will make everything work together for your good, and he will lead you to the right people and places at the right time.” Romans 8:28

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that it is only by your grace, mercy, and ultimate sacrifice that they are given many opportunities to repent and be forgiven of their sins.

They have experienced and continue to experience many ups and downs, darkness, setbacks, and challenges; however, because of you, through your Son Jesus Christ, they have a type of peace that a storm cannot affect.

Help all to know that they should never put limits on your blessings in their lives.

Help them to never underestimate the good that you continue to allow them to experience daily, and realize that you are always present, prepared, and overly capable of doing all things.
