TEMPORARY VERSUS PERMANENT HAPPINESS

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 pause to give you all the glory for your unwavering love and protection. Because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they not only have life but have it abundantly. Despite their daily struggles, they are blessed with the ability to call upon your holy name when their burdens become heavy and/or unbearable. They know that you will never forsake them, and you will always protect, guide, direct, and restore them.

Father, help all to realize that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that the aforementioned love is never-ending and always abounding. Therefore, instead of depending on the favor and/or the ability of man to cause their temporary happiness, put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for permanent happiness.

“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”

2 Corinthians 4:16–18

PRAY FOR GOD’S PROTECTION

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 witness another beautiful morning, they concentrate on the blessings instead of the downs of life. They understand that there is always a greater purpose for all things that occur. Some repercussions are greater than others; however, choosing to depend totally on you allows your children to lay all their burdens, heartaches, pain, challenges, and anxiety on you.

Father, help all to trust in you, for you know all things, and your love is genuine and never-ending. Help all to understand that jealousy and covetousness are instilled in those who claim to be the closest to them. Therefore, always pray for your armor and shield to protect them from the wiles of the devil.

“He said, “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, my Savior. My God is my rock. I can run to him for safety. He is my shield, my saving strength, my defender, and my place of safety. The Lord saves me from those who want to harm me. I will call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I will be saved from my enemies.”

2 Samuel 22: 2-4

GOD ALWAYS DIRECTS, GUIDES, AND PROTECTS

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for another day to make a difference.

Father, as many awaken on this beautiful morning, they choose to worship you in spirit and in truth. Instead of allowing their circumstances to rule them, they have given all their worries and situations to you. They know that to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, all things will work out in accordance with your will for them.

Father, help all to understand that you have all the power. Help them to further understand that you await their call to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, to break the chains of heartaches, challenges, and/or spiritual warfare.

Help all to commit their lives to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Help all to further understand that there will always be trouble; however, rest assured that you will continuously guide, protect, and direct.

“The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.”
Psalm 32:8

THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, ‘Thank You’. It is only by your grace that they have another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them is never-ending. Therefore, they have made a commitment to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, to break the chain of intentional sins and live righteously. They know it is easier said than done; however, all things are possible with you.

Father, help all to understand that the beginning of change starts in the heart or mind of those who want to live according to your holy word and not to the things that cause glorification in themselves.

Father, help all to choose righteousness over intentional sins.

“The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” Romans 8:6

GIVE IT ALL TO GOD

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life today. Therefore, they push through their sickness, troubles, sadness, and negative thoughts. They know that their mindset is easily persuaded to focus on the smallest issues instead of appreciating their daily blessings.

Father, help all to understand that they must remain focused on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for nothing is possible without you. Help them to understand that you came so that they may have life and have it more abundantly. Help them to further understand that once they give all their problems to you, they will experience the relief and peace that they so badly desire.

“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 4:6-7

GAINING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your presence in my life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they glorify your holy name for allowing them another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to uplift, restore, and renew. Despite their wavering faith, you continue to provide, guide, and direct.

Father, help all to understand that they should always make you, through your Son Jesus Christ, their first priority. Help all to take time out of their daily schedules to read and study your holy word. Help them to understand that the more knowledge they have concerning your holy word, the better they can understand the tactics and trickery of the devil.

“Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you.” Proverbs 4:5-6

GOD’S LOVE

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 give you all the praise for allowing them another opportunity to get it right. They smile because you continue to encamp your angels around them throughout the day and night. Although they try their hardest not to sin, it is inevitable because no one is perfect and all sin and fall short of your glory daily. Therefore, they pray that you keep them on the straight and narrow path to salvation, as they repent and are forgiven of such sins.

Father, help all to understand that no one is perfect. Help them to understand that was the purpose of allowing your Son, Jesus Christ, to die and be resurrected so that all could have salvation.

Father, help all to further understand that grace and mercy came as a result of your ultimate sacrifice. Therefore, they must serve you, through Christ, in all that they do.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
