Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your unconditional love and continued guidance and protection.

Father, because of you, they are able to smile through their trials and tribulations.

Because of you, they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil. Because of you, they are able to push through their obstacles to gain the prize that awaits them.

Father, help us all to continue to focus on the things in life that glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that all goodness comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them seek you out to understand their purpose in life. Moreover, help them to push through their obstacles, challenges, pains, and adversities to reach the prize that awaits.

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 worship you in spirit and truth and give you all praise for the gift of life, forgiveness of sins, and your continued guidance.

When they thought that they could no longer bear their heartaches, you showed them that you would continue to carry them through their pain and agony.

Father, help all to know that your love is never-ending, pure, flawless, and always abounding. Help them to understand that your love will guide them through their difficulties, darkness, setbacks, and/or tribulations.

Moreover, let them know that you will never forsake them. Therefore, remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, and do all things in accordance with your holy word.

“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:18-19

DEDICATE YOUR LIFE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for another opportunity to praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all of their needs, wants, injustices, pain, depression, despair, sadness, and other difficulties that they have faced or will face in life.

Father, help all to build a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, so that they are better able to face any difficulties that may arise. Help them to wholeheartedly dedicate themselves to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, daily.

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

WHAT’S YOUR FOCUS?

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

Father, as many have made it through another day, they thank you for the opportunity to make a difference and remain strong in your Holy Word during their good as well as bad experiences.

Despite their continued difficulties in life, they are confident in knowing that as long as they keep their faith in you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they are more than able to continue on the path you have established for them.

They know that “all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” Therefore, they push through their adversities, trials, obstacles, darkness, and roadblocks to peace, joy, tranquility, light, and victory.

They know that you did not give them the spirit of fear, anger, or self-righteousness, but of courage, patience, and humility. Therefore, they set themselves apart from anything or anyone that may cause them to do the opposite of what they know is acceptable to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the[a] paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.”
Hebrews 12:1-2
