RELYING ON GOD

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another day in Christ, they give you all the praise for another day to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive after true repentance and lead them to a place of peace and serenity. Instead of allowing Satan’s tactics to take them off course, they pray fervently, putting all their faith in you, knowing that no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all to rely upon you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all situations, setbacks, difficulties, and/or struggles within. Help them understand that your love is incomparable to anyone’s on earth. Moreover, help all to understand that you are always abounding, never-ending, and forever loving.

“Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose. Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky. Philippians 2:12-18

FOCUSING TO DO GOD’S WILL

Father, giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m so grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly.
They give reverence to you through your Son, Jesus Christ for your continued grace, mercy, forgiveness, and guidance. They know that despite the desires of their flesh or the need to be accepted by man, they must push through the desires of the flesh and the standards of man, and cling to righteousness with a sound mind and clean conscious by focusing on doing that which leads to salvation and not damnation.

Father, help all to truly understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ is indeed the answer to all of their problems. Help them to not lean on their own understanding, but go in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, love, forgiveness, faithfulness, and focus to do your will, at all times, and not when it’s more beneficial them.

“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:12-14

DEPENDING ON THE LORD

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” If it were not for your love, grace, and mercy, they would not be able to withstand their downs in life. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not go right, they focus on the experience and lessons learned. Instead of focusing on negativity, they understand that they have to learn to take the bad with the good because nothing in life is perfect.

Father, help all to understand that they have a choice to allow their circumstances to dictate their walk in life, or they can give all their worries to you, readjust their mindset, and push forward knowing that you will never forsake them nor allow them to become overly burdened by things or situations that they have no control over.

Help them to further understand that you are a constant in their lives. Therefore, keep depending on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

GOD JUDGES BY WORDS AND DEEDS

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to give you all the praise for your unconditional love. They are grateful for the gift of life and another opportunity to glorify your holy name.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Despite the downs that they experience in life, they continue to push through their troubles with a smile. Despite their ups in life, they continue to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, studying your holy word to show themselves approved, rightly dividing your holy word. Despite their negative encounters with those who claim to be of you, they push forward, knowing that no one can ever be truly known by what they say alone because actions speak louder than words.

Father, help all realize that they will be held accountable for their actions, words, and deeds. Therefore, repent, confess Christ, and for those who have not been baptized in the watery grave of baptism, be reborn in the watery grave in the name of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4
