FOCUSING TO DO GOD’S WILL

Father, giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m so grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly.
They give reverence to you through your Son, Jesus Christ for your continued grace, mercy, forgiveness, and guidance. They know that despite the desires of their flesh or the need to be accepted by man, they must push through the desires of the flesh and the standards of man, and cling to righteousness with a sound mind and clean conscious by focusing on doing that which leads to salvation and not damnation.

Father, help all to truly understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ is indeed the answer to all of their problems. Help them to not lean on their own understanding, but go in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, love, forgiveness, faithfulness, and focus to do your will, at all times, and not when it’s more beneficial them.

“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:12-14

DEPENDING ON THE LORD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” If it were not for your love, grace, and mercy, they would not be able to withstand their downs in life. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not go right, they focus on the experience and lessons learned. Instead of focusing on negativity, they understand that they have to learn to take the bad with the good because nothing in life is perfect.

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to allow their circumstances to dictate their walk in life, or they can give all their worries to you, readjust their mindset, and push forward knowing that you will never forsake them nor allow them to become overly burdened by things or situations that they have no control over.

Help them to further understand that you are a constant in their lives. Therefore, keep depending on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they know that they are covered by you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your unconditional love.

They know that with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, no weapons formed against them will prosper. They know that you have all the power to demolish strongholds, uplift the spiritually depleted, and protect those who have been led astray by the devil.

Father, help everyone to depend on you for all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and pain endured. Moreover, help them all to depend on you during both their good and bad experiences.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

ARE YOU ALIGNED WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because of your gift of life. Because of you, they have another opportunity to get it right in accordance with your holy word. They confess their sins and pray for your divine intervention, direction, protection, guidance, peace, and joy. They understand that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body and are able to confess their sins, repent, be baptized, and put forth all their effort to remain steadfast, focused, and obedient as they walk in accordance with your holy word. Although not perfect, their efforts, combined with your holy powers, allow them to continue walking the path that you have established for them.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily and pray for the areas in their lives that do not align with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” Romans 12:2

WHO ARE YOU SERVING?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened to see this blessed morning, they give all praise to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another opportunity to get it right.

Despite their shortcomings, you give them the strength to push through obstacles, knowing and trusting that you will continuously direct their steps, even when they lose their focus.

Father, help all to continue to push through their adversities by knowing that you will never forsake them. Help them to not succumb to feelings of defeat or worthlessness when their burdens expand instead of dissipating. Help them to realize that if they depend upon you through their trials and tribulations, they should also maintain such dependence with you when they are happy, at peace, and full of joy.

Father, help all to realize that you should be their daily focus. Help them to search their souls daily to determine whether they are wholeheartedly serving you or man.

“Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly, as though you were working for your real master and not merely for humans. You know that your real master will give you an inheritance as your reward. It is Christ, your real master, whom you are serving.” Colossians 3:23-24

WORKING OUT FOR THE GOOD

Father, as many have made it through this blessed day, they lift up your holy name through your Son, Jesus Christ, for continued guidance. They know that if it had not been for you, they would not be able to smile. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not come to fruition, they pray a prayer of thankfulness for allowing them to make it through it all.

In addition, they praise you for your one-of-a-kind, never-ending love. They glorify you for always coming to their rescue. Despite their continued trials, you allow them to push through, ultimately resulting in increased faith, harmony, happiness, and peace beyond understanding.

They can rest assured in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that whatever you have purposed for them will always come to fruition.

They now realize that their experiences in life were strategically designed to help them grow more spiritually and mentally, depending solely on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that when they truly let go and let God, they will recognize your abundant love and never-ending mercy. Help them to know that despite what they have endured or will endure, you have all power, and all things will continue to work out for the good of those who love you.

“For the moment, all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” Hebrews 12:11

GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH!

Father, I am giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to give you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all praise for another opportunity to get it right. They understand that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t come to fruition, they focus on your holy word as well as what you have allowed and predestined to come to fruition.

Instead of focusing on negativity, shortcomings, failures, trials, tribulations, and/or setbacks, they choose to live life, pushing through obstacles and trusting in you for all things that you have purposed for them.

Father, help all to understand that there will be tests as well as temptations. However, keep their faith, knowing that you are “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.”
Psalm 46:1-3

GOD JUDGES BY WORDS AND DEEDS

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to give you all the praise for your unconditional love. They are grateful for the gift of life and another opportunity to glorify your holy name.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Despite the downs that they experience in life, they continue to push through their troubles with a smile. Despite their ups in life, they continue to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, studying your holy word to show themselves approved, rightly dividing your holy word. Despite their negative encounters with those who claim to be of you, they push forward, knowing that no one can ever be truly known by what they say alone because actions speak louder than words.

Father, help all realize that they will be held accountable for their actions, words, and deeds. Therefore, repent, confess Christ, and for those who have not been baptized in the watery grave of baptism, be reborn in the watery grave in the name of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4
