A SPIRITUAL RENEWAL

Father, give you all the praise and glory for another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they know that it is only by your grace that they have life this morning. Despite their shortcomings, your love never diminishes, and your blessings continuously overflow.

They know that it is only because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they are present in the body and are fully connected with your Holy Spirit. When they know to do right but continue to do wrong, they are convicted within their heart, soul, and mind to repent of their sins, ask for forgiveness, and ask for your divine direction to do that which is right in accordance with your holy word.

Father, help us all to spend more time with you by studying your word. Help us all to righteously apply knowledge to the areas of their lives that will eventually result in a spiritual renewal.

In addition, help all “To put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”
Ephesians 4:22-24

Father, help all to realize that, despite how problematic circumstances continue to arise, you have always provided a way out of their darkness to light and peace.

Father, help all to depend upon you for all things. Help them to understand that “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” Colossians 1:13-14

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises of peace and joy. It is only by your grace that they are able to push through darkness and allow your light to continue to guide them to the path of righteousness.

However, because of your Son, Jesus Christ, as well as your Holy Spirit’s interaction in their lives, they are able to fight the various sources of negativity, confusion, and discourse.

Father, help all to understand that it is only by your grace that many are able to maintain their sanity and thought process, as well as fight the mental and physical pain they endure every second of the day. Moreover, help all to understand that you are the source of their freedom, healing, and restoration.

SPIRITUALLY EVALUATE SELF
