WHO DICTATES YOUR WALK IN LIFE?

Father, I give you all the praise for a peaceful night of rest and the gift of life on this beautiful morning that was not promised.

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

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. 

They know that there are many who see their kindness as a weakness, failing to realize that the love that they have for all is indeed essential, as Jesus Christ says, “Love your neighbors as you love yourself.”

Father, help all to evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word and apply such understanding. Help them to not allow others to dictate their walk in life. 

“I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17

“Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:6

THANKFUL THURSDAY

Father, giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another opportunity to openly praise your holy name. They are grateful for this blessed “Thanksgiving” morning. They know that there is no better gift to be thankful for than the gift of life. Therefore, they push through darkness and temptation to reside in light and peace.

Father, help all to make it through this blessed and thankful day by keeping you through your Son, Jesus Christ, first. Help all to also not complain because they never know how good something or someone is to them until it’s too late. Therefore, continue to be like Christ, love and cherish each other despite one’s disposition.

“I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.” Psalm 7:17

SPIRITUALLY RENEWED

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for another opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life.  They  know that It is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, they push through their adversities and challenges knowing that your grace is sufficient. They push through all negativity knowing that you have established their path and no weapons formed against them will prosper.

They sing praises to you because they are grateful for the forgiveness of their sins and, therefore, dedicate their lives to you through confession and baptism.

Father, help all to see that there is no other way to be made spiritually renewed than through repentance, confession, and baptism. Help them to do that which is right in accordance with your holy word.

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.  Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2

TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED 

Father, I am giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ! I’m grateful for an opportunity to get it right. I’m grateful for your unconditional love. I’m grateful for the ability to repent of my sins and start anew. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, so that we can have everlasting life in heaven.

Father, help all who do not believe in you and/or your Son, Jesus Christ, due to listening to others whose hearts are far from you and your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that tomorrow is never promised. Therefore, cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily.

Help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly in accordance with your holy word. Help them to understand that it’s not themselves but your holy spirit who guides, protects, uplifts, restores, and renews their body, mind, and soul. 

“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”—yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring.”

TRUST IN THE LORD AT ALL TIMES 

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings. They know that if it wasn’t for you, they would not have made it through their trials and tribulations. They know that despite their challenges and their shortcomings, your love carries them through and to a place of peace and tranquility.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all of their needs, wants, problems, and/or worries. Help them to lean not on their own understandings, but give all worries to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

WALKING 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 first give you all the praise for allowing them another opportunity to get it right. Despite their intentions to do that which is right and to spread your holy word, they continue to fall short of your glory. Therefore, they go to you in prayers of repentance and requests for guidance as they walk with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, to the path that leads to faithfulness, light over darkness, comfort, compassion, and total dependency on you and your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2

ARE YOU FALLING SHORT? 

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

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

As they evaluate their actions in life, to include relationships, family, and loved ones, all in accordance with the Holy Word. 

They realized that they have been so focused on satisfying their own wants and needs that they focus on showing themselves approved, rightfully dividing the word of God. 

Because of the aforementioned, they no longer struggle from their stance that it’s all about themselves and what they want instead of what you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, expects from them; they continue to fall short of your glory as well as the future you have established for them. 

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Romans 3:23-26

GOD’S PURPOSE PREVAILS!

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed day in Christ! I’m grateful for this opportunity to get it right.

Father, as many have made it through another beautiful day in Christ, they pause to thank you for bringing them through their many trials, sicknesses, obstacles, setbacks, heartaches, and/or  challenges. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly.  They understand that if it was not for you, they would not be in the position that they are currently in, nor would they have the lifestyle that they have grown accustomed to.

Father, help all to understand that what you have purposed for them can not be distorted, hindered, or taken away because you have all power.

Father, help all to learn to trust you and leave all their worries with you.  Help them to understand that troubles may come and go, however, as they lay their burdens and worries down, and after a sincere prayer in faith to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they will truly understand that you know all things and have control over all things.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. What a person desires is unfailing love; better to be poor than a liar. The fear of the LORD leads to life; then one rests content, untouched by trouble.” Proverbs 19:21-23 New International Version (NIV)
