WHO DO YOU CLING TO?

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in 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, grace, and mercy.

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

Despite their shortcomings and challenges, you allow them an opportunity to repent of their sins and become anew in Christ.

Father, help all to open their eyes to your unchanging hands. Help them to understand that clinging to your unchanging hands is necessary to make it through their trials and tribulations and the darkness that attempts to dim their light within them.

Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will.” Romans 12:1-2
