PUT GOD FIRST

Father, I give you all the praise for awakening me to witness another beautiful morning that was not promised.

Father, others also give you all the praise for awakening them to witness another beautiful morning that was not promised.

They understand that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly. Moreover, because of your sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, they are cleansed from their sins. “John 3:16”

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the answer to all situations, the key to happiness and salvation, and the source of forgiveness and never-ending love.

“Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:8:

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Father, help all to put you first in all that they do, think, and speak. Help them to depend upon you, who saves them, and not a man who has no power over their own lives, nevertheless, anyone else’s life.

“In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.” Proverbs 3:6

“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him, we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your agape love. Despite their shortcomings, your love never wavers.

Father, help all who have been displaced from their homes due to the fires. Help all who have lost loved ones. Help all who are mentally drained and have given up on life. Moreover, help all to continue to depend upon you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

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

ARE YOU PRAYING WHOLEHEARTEDLY?

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and continued favor.

They know patience is a virtue, and such allows them to “cultivate inner strength and sound judgment, and help them to make clear-headed decisions in a world that can feel rushed and demanding”.

Father, help all to realize that you have all control, and when they pray, you hear their cry, requests, thankfulness; however; you know and hear their thoughts as well. Therefore, help all to meditate and clear their mind of doubt, worry, and/or setbacks and difficulties as they pray, as well as move forward in life.

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13

LET GO AND LET GOD

REMAIN STEADFAST IN PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they praise you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life. Despite their ups and downs, they push through their adversities and challenges, knowing that as long as they have you in their lives, no weapons, schemes, plots, or ploys that are planned against them will prosper.

Instead of dwelling on the actions or inactions of others, they focus on doing what you have purposed for them.
Instead of allowing others to control their thoughts, actions, words, or spirituality, they pray a prayer of thankfulness to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for keeping their mind stayed upon you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, through it all.

Father, help all to realize that Satan will try all attempts to cause division and discourse in their lives when they are aiming to live righteously; therefore, remain strong in faith and steadfast in prayer and supplication during their good and bad experiences.

“The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:5-7
