DESPITE THEIR SHORTCOMINGS

Father, praising your holy name for another blessed morning. I am grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise for another blessed morning as well. Despite their shortcomings, you continuously forgive, redirect, provide, protect, support, and love beyond understanding. 

Father, help all to examine themselves wholeheartedly to determine their shortcomings and to repent of such so that they can be made new in your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that you know their inner thoughts and hear their prayers. Therefore, aim to do that which is right in accordance with your holy word and will for them.

Help them by directing their path and guiding their mindsets to that which expands excellency, obedience, and faithfulness.

PUSHING THROUGH WITH FAITH 

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised.

Father, help all to understand that tomorrow is never promised; therefore, push forward knowing that you have never forsaken them and will always be present to carry them through their trials and darkest experiences. 

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 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

“So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” Galatians 3:26-27
