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
