REBUKING THE EVIL SPIRIT

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 have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you praise for your continued blessings. They know that it is only because of your unfailing love that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the daily blessings that you continue to bestow on them.

In addition, they adorn themselves with your breastplate of righteousness, understanding that you have control over all things, people, and situations.

Father, help all to stop allowing the evil spirit to cause them to question their peace and happiness.

Help them know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, will forever love, embrace, support, protect, guide, and direct them to a place of peace, happiness, harmony, and serenity.

Help them to also know that anything that is opposite to the aforementioned is not of you or your Son, Jesus Christ.

“And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he departed out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart and said, Why could not we cast him out? And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief, for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”

Matthew 17:18-20

FOCUSING ON WHAT IS

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness. They understand that it is only by your grace that they have life this morning. Therefore, instead of allowing their circumstances to dictate their mood, they pray for protection, guidance, direction, peace, joy, love, and that your will for them is done.

Father, help all who are continuously reliving what could have been instead of what is. Help all to know that they should not lean on their own understanding, for you have a purpose for all things and/or experiences. Moreover, help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through their good and their bad days.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Philippians 4:8
