UNDERSTANDING BY AND BY

Father, I give praise to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their day, they thank you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your blessings. They know that with you, no weapons formed against them will prosper. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not occur or transpire, they focus on how, because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they were able to push through, endure, and overcome all challenges that were intended to impede their walk in life.

Father, help all to open their eyes to what they have endured or will endure to realize that nothing is possible without you, your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit. Help all to remain steadfast and focused on your holy word; apply lessons learned, and they will soon understand it by and by.

“Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.”
1 Corinthians 2:12
