WHO HAS YOUR FOCUS THIS MORNING?

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

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, agape love, and protection.

They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have been blessed to experience another beautiful day that was not promised.

Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, protect, restore, renew, lead, guide, and direct. Despite their struggles in life, you always bring them to and through. Despite knowing what to do, but falling short of your glory, you forgive them of their sins after true repentance and continue to direct their steps.

Father, help all to turn from their self-centered ways of focusing on doing whatever it takes to please their flesh and instead focus on pleasing you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God,” Hebrews 12:2
