WHO IS FIRST IN YOUR LIFE?

Father, I sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for allowing me to witness another day 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 and favor.

Had it not been for your grace and mercy, they would not have made it to witness this blessed day.

Despite their falling short of your glory daily, you continuously carry them through chaos and disappointments to a place of peace and happiness.

Father, help all who only pray when they are in need but lose contact with you when they have been blessed.

Help all to strive to have a divine relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, at all times. Help them to put you and your Son, Jesus Christ, first.

“In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.” Proverbs 3:5-6

THE LORD IS MY ROCK!

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised. 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, for your continued blessings and favor.

They know that with you, no weapons formed against them will prosper. Therefore, they cling to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all situations that occur. Therefore, worry not what tomorrow may bring, but depend upon you for all things.

“The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Psalm 18:2

PUT GOD FIRST

Father, I give you all the praise for awakening me to witness another beautiful morning that was not promised.  

Father, others also give you all the praise for awakening them to witness another beautiful morning that was not promised.  

They understand that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly.  Moreover, because of your sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, they are cleansed from their sins. “John 3:16”

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the answer to all situations, the key to happiness and salvation, and the source of forgiveness and never-ending love.

 “Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:8:

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Father, help all to put you first in all that they do, think, and speak.  Help them to depend upon you, who saves them, and not a man who has no power over their own lives, nevertheless, anyone else’s life.

“In everything you do, put God first, and he will direct you and crown your efforts with success.” Proverbs 3:6

“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him, we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

JESUS IS THE DOOR ALL MUST ENTER!

Father, I give you all praises for another day that was not promised.  I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey they sing praises to you for this blessed morning. 

Despite their shortcomings you continue to lead them to the straight and narrow path which leads to salvation. 

“They understand that Jesus is the Door through which all must enter eternal life. There is no other way because He alone is “the way, the truth and the life” (John 14:6).”

Despite their knowledge, they fall short daily; however, repentance, which is free, delivers them from all sins and makes them whole. 

Father, help all to understand that you allow them to choose their destination.  They can ignore and be led by falsehoods of the devil, or they can take heed and follow the narrow path that leads to salvation.

“While there will be relatively few who go through the narrow gate compared to the many on the broad road, there will still be multitudes who will follow the Good Shepherd.”

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.”  John 10:11-12

PUT OFF YOUR OLD SELF

Father, I give you all the praise for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey they also praise your holy name for another blessed morning that was not promised.

Despite the challenges that arises, they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil and continue to walk the path that you have orchestrated for them to endure.

Despite their shortcomings, you continue to help them to realize that life is a gift that continues to be redefined as one endures life’s experiences. 

“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world” John 16:33

“You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;  to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24

PRAISE AND GLORIFY GOD

Father, I give you all the praise and glorify 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 pause to give you all the praise and glory for awakening them to witness another day that was not promised. 

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. They know that because of you, they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil and remain steadfast in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. 

Father, help all to open their eyes, realizing that nothing is possible without you. Therefore, cling closely to your unchanging hands during the good and bad, as well as the known and unknown. 

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” Revelations 4:7

GLORIFY GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for another blessed day that was not promised.

Father, as many have awakened and have started their daily journey, they sing praises to you for your continued protection and blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. 

When they were down, you blessed them by reigniting the passion for and by becoming more obedient to your Holy word. 

When they were spiritually lost, you redefined their purpose within to become more spiritually focused through lessons learned. 

When they repented of their sins, they began to witness greater blessings, favor, and continued guidance.

Moreover, when they began to talk to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, they began to have a stronger reliance on and connection with you, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. 

Father, help all to stop worrying about how friends and family see them and worry about how you see them. Help them to withstand temptation and remain strong in your Holy Word during their good and not-so-good days.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.” Eph 3:20-21

GOD’S TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT

Father, I give you all the praise for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and for turning bad experiences into positive lessons learned. 

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey as well, they focus on the numerous situations that you have brought them through. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them. They know that had it not been for those experiences and your bringing them through it all, they would not have become the person who they are today. Moreover, they would not have the relationship with you and dependency on you as they do. 

Father, help all to realize that you are the answer to all situations, troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, pain, and agony.

Father, help all to lean on you for all things and situations. Help them to understand that you are always present, will never forsake them, and will always lift them up in your timing. 

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD… plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 

This one fact, beloved, is that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” 2 Peter 3:8-9

Therefore, they sing praises as well. They ask for forgiveness for their thoughts and actions that they participate in, which are contrary to your holy word. They confess their sins and ask for you to guide them as you control their thoughts, tongue, and actions.

Father, help all to stop, focus, and readjust their mindset, focus, speech, and walk in life. 
Help all to understand that you are always the answer to all situations. 

“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him”. 1 John 5:14-15
