THERE IS LIMITED GROWTH WITHOUT TRIALS

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

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. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. They know that it is only by your mercy that they are forgiven of their sins and are able to start anew in Christ on this blessed morning. They know that despite their shortcomings, you continue to redirect their path, lead them through their trials and tribulations, and bring them to a place of peace and serenity.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all of their problems, worries, sicknesses, troubles, concerns, challenges, and/or tribulations. Help all to depend on you during the good and the bad days. Help them to further understand that there is limited spiritual growth without trials.

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”
~James 1:2-4

PUSHING THROUGH CHALLENGES WITH JESUS CHRIST

Father, as many have made it through another day that was not promised, they sing praises to you for allowing them to push through their challenges and gain the prize that you have orchestrated for them to acquire.

They know that it is only because of your grace and mercy that they were able to endure, push through, and achieve pure excellence.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves wholeheartedly to determine their purpose in life. Help them to establish a true and dependable relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Help them to call on your name, understanding that regardless of the length of time it takes to obtain their goal(s), all things are possible with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“This verse reminds us that God rewards those who persevere and love him, and that living in his will can lead to eternal success.” Hebrews 10:36

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they send praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another morning that was not promised. As they arise, they know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it so abundantly.

Despite their aches and pains, setbacks, heartaches, challenges, and difficulties, they move forward, knowing that there is a greater purpose for all things. Therefore, if they just cling to you and do not lean on their own standing, all things will work out for their good.

Father, help us all to be grateful despite our downs in life. Moreover, help all to understand that if there were no downs in life, there would be no growth, as well as no dependency on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” When we seek God with all of our hearts and draw near to Him, we will feel His presence once again.” James 4:8

ARE YOU FOLLOWING GOD’S EXAMPLE?

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They understand that today was not promised; therefore, they praise your holy name through song, prayer, supplication, and obedience.

Despite their setbacks and/or setups, they continue to trust in you for all things. They understand that you are the answer to all of their needs. They further understand that they need you through their good days just as much as they need you through their bad days.

Moreover, they know that it is only because of you that they are blessed beyond understanding.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to determine if they are following the examples that you have left for all in your holy word or if they are perpetrating holiness when their hearts are far from you.

“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

FATHER, SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

Father, I am giving you all the praise 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 on this beautiful morning in Christ, they give you all the glory for another day that was not promised. Despite their disobedience, your love is never-ending. Despite their sins, you continue to allow them to withstand the wiles of the devil and keep them on the path of righteousness.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, disappointments, failures, trials, setbacks, setups, fears, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and pains. Help them to acknowledge their sins, repent of them, confess Christ, and be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost to become one with you.

“Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” Luke 3:21-22
