THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN GOD’S LOVE

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for your continued grace and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun  their morning journey, they thank you for the gift of life.  Despite their shortcomings, you continue to push them through and to the path of righteousness.  Despite their difficulties, they have vowed to look past yesterday and focus on today.  They know that as long as they put all their heart and trust in you, they will never be disappointed.  They further understand that you are Alpha and Omega, and you know and are in control of all things.  Although, you allow everyone to choose their path in life, you always show up to redirect them to the path that is more advantageous to accomplish what you have designed for them to accomplish, be and/or become.

Father, help all to trust in you for all things.  Help them to understand that their timing does not determine your timing and/or will for them.  Help them to understand that they should cling closely to your unchanging hands during the good as well as the bad.  Moreover, help them understand that you come so that they may life, and have it abundantly!

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  Romans 5:6-8

ARE YOU CONNECTED WITH GOD?

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your comfort during the various pains that I have experienced and continue to experience.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they pause to say, “Thank You, Father!” Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, and direct. Despite their hearing your holy word but refusing to obey it, you continue to provide a way of escape when they come into trials in which relief can only come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to realize that no one, no substance, no money, no popularity, no prestige, no knowledge, and no riches can provide them with the kind of love, blessings, and joy that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, can and will always provide.

Help all to turn to you only so that you can make their lives better. Help them to never jeopardize their souls by depending on men instead of putting all their faith in you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to understand that troubles don’t last forever. Help them to understand that experience is the best teacher of lessons learned, especially when they are in connection with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

WILL YOU LISTEN TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?

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

Father, as many have awakened to see another blessed morning, they thank you profusely. They know that it is only by your grace that they are given another opportunity to share your holy word. They know that no one is perfect; however, with you, they are all able to repent and change their thought process to uplift you through Christ.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily, for sometimes their thoughts turn to unplanned actions that they may eventually regret. In addition, please help all to be quick to listen and slow to speak.

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:19-21

IS GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST YOUR PRIORITY?

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

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

They know that it is only by your grace that they can move forward in life. They understand that you are always present in their lives, despite their shortcomings. They understand that you have never and will never forsake them or leave them destitute.

Father, help all to look past the negative thoughts that come and go and focus on allowing you to redirect their thoughts as well as their path in life.

Help all to pray for peace beyond understanding. Help them to understand that although life is full of challenges, twists, and turns, as long as they continue to put you through Jesus Christ first, no weapons formed against them will prosper.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, and acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:2

KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LORD!

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life and your continued blessings!

They are grateful to you for allowing them to awaken and see another day.

They have repented of their sins and prayed that they would be led by your holy spirit, but despite knowing what to do, they continue to do whatever it takes to gain worldly approval, not spiritual approval.

They say whatever sounds good to place them in the light; however, their inner being is filled with darkness and deceitfulness.

They look the part, but forget that regardless of what others may perceive, you know all things.

They gloat at the misfortunes of others, although they are consistently lifted by you during their darkest moments.

They compete against others while secretly watching their progress in life as well as your favor over their life.

They hate when others, who have a genuine relationship with you, praise you for their good as well as their bad. 

However, they still choose to seek favor from those who are accepted, worshipped, and put upon a pedestal because of their popularity and/or association with a particular group, class, and/or title.

Father, help all to tread carefully. Help them understand that you know, see, and hear everything. Moreover, no person can atone for their sins. Therefore, keep their minds on you in all areas of life.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3

PEACE ABOVE ALL UNDERSTANDING

Father, praising your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.  I am grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to sing praises to your holy name.  They know that with you, all things are possible, through your Son Jesus Christ, and in accordance with your holy word.  They fail to allow negativity to sink into their spirit; therefore, they immediately pray for peace above all understanding.  

Father, help all to know that they will experience many trials in life; however, they can give you all their worries because you will allow them to withstand all experiences.

Father, help all to understand that as they continue to pray and depend upon you for all things, they will be able to overcome all things as well. Therefore, cling closely to you during their good and their not so good days.

Moreover, help all to focus on and evaluate themselves instead of continuing to place judgment on others.  

“Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand;  do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”  Philippians 4:5-7

GOD’S DISCERNMENT

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say thank you! Despite their shortcomings, you continue to guide, protect, and uplift. As they focus on that which brings them closer to you, through your Son Jesus Christ, they pray for your discernment to reveal the true identity of others.

Father, help all to understand that many will say one thing, but do or feel the opposite; therefore, put their trust in you and not man.  Help all to realize that you know all things; therefore, always pray for spiritual discernment and guidance to walk the path that you have established for them.  

“For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.  And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.   It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”
2 Corinthians 11:13-15

ENDURING ALL THINGS WITH GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they give you all the glory through your Son Jesus Christ for your continued blessings.

Despite their shortcomings, your love remains constant. When they feel as if they are in a constant battle, your Holy Spirit delivers them to a place of peace and serenity. When they feel as if they are alone in this world, you pour more love upon them through their answered prayers.

Father, help all to understand that despite how things appear, you are always present protecting, guiding, comforting, and directing their steps. Help all to understand that you are always present and are in their midst. Therefore, call upon your name, through your Son Jesus Christ, for strength and the ability to endure your tests and the devil’s temptations.

“Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.” 2 Timothy 2:10

OVERCOMING ALL OBSTACLES

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they bow to their knees in a prayer of thankfulness. They understand that in life, they will experience plights as well as good fortune. Therefore, they learn to accept the bad with the good, through prayer, and by having a total dependency upon you.  

Father, help all to make it through this day understanding that victory is indeed theirs. Help all to realize that all power comes from you, through Christ and your Holy Spirit.  Help all to have faith that, with you, they are able to push through all obstacles, for you are indeed almighty. Help all to also understand that, “obstacles aren’t meant to defeat us or deter us but to direct us and keep us dependent on God.”

“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” 1 John 5:4
