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

HOLD ON TO YOUR FAITH

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

As many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they are also grateful for the gift of life.

They know that you are their peace beyond understanding, and they trust in you for all things. They have learned that with you, no weapons formed against them will prosper. Therefore, they walk in confidence knowing that your Holy Spirit will always guide them to and through the darkness that arises, trying to distract them from the peace and serenity that you provide.

Father, help all to remain steadfast and strong in faith as they walk through temptation and help them to hold on to their faith despite how things may appear.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for He is faithful that promised.” Hebrews 10:23

GOD BREATHED SCRIPTURE

NEVER AN AFTERTHOUGHT

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. Despite their shortcomings, your love never wavers nor ceases.

When they thought that they were in this world alone, you reminded them that your love is never-ending, and you are always present in their midst.

When they thought that every action taken to move forward in life resulted in their taking two steps backwards, they prayed to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for clarity and purpose.

Father, help all to understand that prayer is needed before committing to do, create, or expand their territory. Help all to know that you and your Son, Jesus Christ, should never be an afterthought. Help all to pray about their situation before planning to do or deciding to do.

“He was chosen before the creation of the world but was revealed in these last times for your sake. Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” 1 Peter 1:20-21

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
