WITH YOU, LORD!

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

Father, as many are continuing their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your love, grace, and mercy. Despite their continued ups and downs in life, they move forward knowing that all things are possible with you and that through their downs, you have never forsaken them. They pray for your continued guidance despite their downs in life. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit, that they are able to stand through and beyond the continued tests that they encounter.

Father, help all to study your word daily, rightly dividing it, to show themselves approved. Help them to stop leaning on their own understanding, for their thoughts are not your thoughts. Moreover, help them to cling to you through their good and bad days, for you are always present and will allow them to withstand all things as they depend upon you, your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
1 Joshua 1:9

“But you shall cling to the LORD, your God, just as you have done to this day. For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations. And as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day. One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD, your God, who fights for you, just as he promised you. Be very careful, therefore, to love the LORD, your God.” Joshua 23:8-11

GOD, JESUS CHRIST, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT!

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile, for they know that it is only by your grace that they have life. Therefore, they shout with joy, as if they were on a mountaintop, that despite what the enemy had planned for them, they were victorious in Christ. They know that despite how things appear, your Son, Jesus Christ, has already established their path.

Father, help all to know that when they trust in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all things are durable, possible, and attainable. Help them to also understand that your holy spirit dwells in them and continuously directs their walk in life.

“In the beginning was the Word (the Word became flesh… Jesus Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” He was with God in the beginning.

Through him, all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:1-5

TEMPORARY VERSUS PERMANENT HAPPINESS

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 give you all the glory for your unwavering love and protection. Because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they not only have life but have it abundantly. Despite their daily struggles, they are blessed with the ability to call upon your holy name when their burdens become heavy and/or unbearable. They know that you will never forsake them, and you will always protect, guide, direct, and restore them.

Father, help all to realize that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the aforementioned love is never-ending and always abounding. Therefore, instead of depending on the favor and/or the ability of man to cause their temporary happiness, put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for permanent happiness.

“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

2 Corinthians 4:16–18

GOD MAKES YOU WHOLE AND COMPLETE

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your continued guidance, grace, and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life and have it more abundantly.

When their attention was to do that which was contrary to your holy word, you allowed them to see the end result prior to them attempting to satisfy their desires, ultimately resulting in them choosing obedience, being a positive influence, as well as experiencing total resolution.

When they were persuaded to do things contrary to your holy word by those whom they looked up to, they straddled the fence until they finally realized that you had never forsaken them.

Father, help all to seek help, recognition, peace, joy, and happiness from you, and not man, because you, through Christ, will allow all to experience wholeness and total completeness.

“On the other hand, don’t be gullible. Check out everything, and keep only what’s good.Throw out anything tainted with evil. May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The one who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he’ll do it!”
1 Thessalonians 5:21–24

BELIEVING IN GOD, JESUS, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

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 understand that life is not promised; therefore, they revere you through Jesus Christ for this blessing.

Father, help all who are unable to see life as a blessing due to the frequent unwanted circumstances that arise.

Help them to understand that life’s experiences sometimes occur so that they can become closer and more dependent on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Therefore, never allow the bad circumstances in life to cause their faith to diminish. Moreover, help them to understand that there is a greater purpose for all things.

“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:18-20

GOD KNOWS YOUR HEART, SO STAY CONSTANT

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to allow them to withstand the wiles of the devil. Despite their love for all, your love is the only constant in their life. Despite their concern and care for everyone, you are the only one who reciprocates this.

Father, help all who are continuously fulfilling the needs of others; however, such care is never provided or reciprocated.

Moreover, help all who experience the aforementioned to continue to be the people you have ordained them to be. In addition, instead of being angry or hurt, help them to continue to do your will through it all.

“But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7
