REPENTANCE IS ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION

Father, giving you all the praise for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, ” Thank You “. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life this beautiful morning. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what went wrong, they smile because you have granted them another opportunity to get it right.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves as well as their inactions to turn their wrongs to rights. Help them to understand that when they ignore conflict and/or any type of miscommunication, it builds up and becomes an entanglement that drains all involved, as well as destroy relationships.

Father, help all to practice the goodness within them that is sometimes covered by their pain, loss, jealousy, envy, covetousness, and hatred.

In addition, help all to understand that you know all things; therefore, own up to their sins through repentance, confess that Jesus Christ is your Son, and be baptized in the gravely water of baptism to become new in Christ.

“Peter said, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19).

DEPENDENCE ON GOD

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 first give praise to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life.

They know that nothing in life that is worth having comes easy. They understand that without trials and/or tribulations, there is no personal growth, and their dependency is on themselves instead of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that life is always better with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the issues that they experience daily help them to obtain greater spiritual growth and a dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“I depend on God alone; I put my hope in him. He alone protects and saves me; he is my defender, and I shall never be defeated. My salvation and honor depend on God; he is my strong protector; he is my shelter. Trust in God at all times, my people. Tell him all your troubles, for he is our refuge.” Psalm 62:5-8

WILL YOU CONTINUE TO TRUST GOD?

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they fall to their knees in a prayer of thankfulness. They know that today was not promised; yet, they have life. Despite their shortcomings, sin, and continuously falling short of your glory, you thought that they were worthy. Therefore, they pray for forgiveness and for you to continue to direct their steps toward total peace, happiness, joy, and love.

Father, help all to understand that there will be days when their burdens become heavy and/or unbearable. There will be days when they no longer believe that they are worthy. However, help all to understand that such thoughts are not of you, your Son, Jesus Christ, or your Holy Spirit. Father, help all to understand that the devil comes to kill, steal, and destroy. Therefore, maintain a pure relationship with you through their good as well as not-so-good days.

“Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.” Psalm 143:8
