THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD

Father, I praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ.  I’m grateful for 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. They are also grateful 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 overcome their obstacles, difficulties, and challenges. 

They know that nothing is impossible with you in their lives. Therefore, they confess their sins, repent of their sins, and are baptized in the watery grave of baptism for the remission of their sins.

Father, help all to realize that they must remain focused on the prize that awaits them as they adorn themselves with your armor and shield, breastplate of righteousness, and helmet of salvation. 

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

“Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground and, after you have done everything, to stand.”
Ephesians 6:10-13

BEING HONEST IS ESSENTIAL

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another blessed morning in Christ. They are also grateful for the gift of life.

Despite their shortcomings, your love never wavers nor ceases. When they are down and out, you lift them up and your love continues to flow within them.  

When they are afraid, you remind them that no weapons formed against them will prosper; and you remind them that, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27.)

When they are doubtful, you remind them, “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” James 1:6-8

Father, help everyone to be aware of their actions, inactions, thoughts, and motives. Help them to understand that you see and know all things. Therefore, be honest in all their ways.  

“The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy.”  Proverbs 12:22

HAVE YOU EVALUATED YOURSELF?

Father, I give you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as others have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they are grateful for the gift of life as well.  

Father, despite your love for all, there are many who fail to think about the blessings you continuously bestow upon them. They do what they feel is right despite being wrong. They only think about receiving what they desire rather than what is freely given by you. They focus more on themselves instead of keeping their minds stayed upon you through your Son, Jesus.  

Father, help all to take time to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly. Help them to determine their own flaws or shortcomings and work on turning their flaws or shortcomings into strengths.

“Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. “Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you—unless, of course, you fail the test?” 2 Corinthians 13:5

Father, help all to understand that you are always present and will always be present to carry them through their trials and tribulations.

Help them to know that despite their shortcomings or challenges, you will never forsake them. Therefore, cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through all their experiences.

Moreover, help them to know that you come so that they may have life and have it more abundantly. Help them to know that, with you, no weapons formed against them will prosper. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what may not occur, focus on what has occurred by your grace and mercy.

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Because of your one-of-a-kind love, they smile because they know that you allow the Holy Spirit to keep them as they journey through the good and the bad.

Father, help all to learn that they need you daily to make it in this world. Help them to maintain their faith, love, and dependency upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, during the good and bad experiences that they endure.

“This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who makes flesh their strength and whose heart turns away from the LORD. Like a bush in the desert, they will not see prosperity when it comes. They will dwell in the parched places of the desert in a salt land where no one lives.” Jeremiah 17:5-6

WHO ARE YOU ENTERTAINING?

Father, I give you all the praise for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for second chances.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you and through your Son, Jesus Christ, for allowing them another opportunity to get it right.

Father, thank you for favor throughout this week. Thank you for turning the negative experiences into positive lessons. Thank you for allowing the faithless to become faithful and who are now dependent upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help those who are more of the world than of you to get their lives together before it is too late. Help them to know that you are God and all power has been given to your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to stand strong in faith, knowing that with you, no weapons formed against them will prosper. Help them to be cautious of every thought and every word that comes out of their mouth because they know not who they are entertaining.

Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth had been given to Me.” Matthew 28:18 (AMP)

“Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing so, some have entertained angels without knowing it.” Hebrews 13:2
