WILL YOU DEPEND ON JESUS CHRIST?

Father, 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 pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. Despite their shortcomings, your love is always abundant. Therefore, instead of giving up on their dreams, they depend upon you to take them through their darkest experiences and bring them on the other side of your light, which never dissipates.

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are always present in their darkness and will never forsake them; therefore, depend on your Son, Jesus Christ, at all times.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
