WHO DICTATES YOUR WALK IN LIFE?

Father, I give you all the praise for a peaceful night of rest and the gift of life on this beautiful morning 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, grace, and mercy.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly.

They know that there are many who see their kindness as a weakness, failing to realize that the love that they have for all is indeed essential, as Jesus Christ says, “Love your neighbors as you love yourself.”

Father, help all to evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word and apply such understanding. Help them to not allow others to dictate their walk in life.

“I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17

“Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:6

Father, help all who are continuously relying on others to determine their worth to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, will always love, protect, and direct them to the straight and narrow path to righteousness.

Therefore, always cling to God’s unchanging hands during their good as well as their bad days.

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:4-5

“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as he had come on us at the beginning. Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ So if God gave them the same gift he gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”

When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles, God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
