RELYING ON GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, thank you 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 another morning that was not promised. They are grateful for the gift of life. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did or did not occur, they set their minds on the blessings you continuously bestow upon them.

Father, help all to focus on their actions as well as their inactions. Help them to go to you in prayer for guidance, renewal, peace, and happiness.

Help them to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the answer to all of their problems, needs, desires, and wants.

“Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who depends on flesh for his strength, and whose heart turns away from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17

“Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” Proverbs 16:3:

BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST IS ESSENTIAL TO SALVATION

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they fall to their knees for a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. They smile because, despite their shortcomings, you continue to love them unconditionally. Therefore, they aim to live righteously with the understanding that repentance is necessary.

However, despite falling short of your glory daily, they must understand that you, through Jesus Christ, love them unconditionally.

Father, help all to focus and aim to live righteously. Moreover, help them to understand that believing that Jesus Christ is your Son, that He died for all, and that all who believe in Him inherit salvation.

Father, help all to study your holy word to find themselves approved, rightly dividing your holy word. Help them to understand that believing in Jesus Christ is shown through action and not words alone. “In addition, help them to understand that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12).

WILL YOU PUT ON CHRIST TODAY?

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

Father, as all have been blessed to witness another beautiful morning in Christ, they smile, for you have given them another day that was not promised.

Father, as many are attending worship services today, please allow your Holy Spirit to keep them focused on the word that you have given your faithful servants to share with them. Help them to commit their lives to you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, by confessing their sins, repenting of them, and emerging in the grave water of baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

“And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38

CALL UPON THE LORD AT ALL TIMES

Father, give you all praise and glory for your continued grace and mercy. 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 unconditional love and continued guidance and protection.

Because of you, they are able to smile through their trials and tribulations, push through their strongholds, and discern the intentions of their enemies.

Because of you, they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil and walk in faith, knowing that you will never forsake them and that you are the source of their ability to overcome all challenges, ploys, plots, and ill intentions by those whose hearts are far from you.

Father, help all who struggle in this sinful world because they are focused on serving you, not those who are of this world who don’t believe in you, your Son, Jesus Christ, or your Holy Spirit.

Help them to stand strong in the midst of their trials and tribulations. Help them to
continuously call upon your holy name during both their good and their bad experiences in life.

Father, giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to give you all the praise as they glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Moreover, they know that if it wasn’t for your agape love, favor, grace, and mercy they would not be present in the body today.

Father, help all to understand that your blessings are bestowed on them despite their shortcomings, sins, and/or disobedience. Help them to realize that you are the key to happiness, peace, joy, and restoration. Help them to continue to seek you in all that they do, while learning to put you first in all that they do. Moreover, help them to understand that despite them falling short of your grace and mercy, you will never leave or forsaken them.

IN ALLIGNMENT WITH GOD’S PURPOSE

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they give praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ for another day that was not promised.

Despite their challenges, they push through all difficulties by faith, knowing that with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Despite their shortcomings, you continue to uplift, guide, restore, renew, and love them unconditionally.

Father, help all to understand that they have the choice to choose victory over defeat, faith over fear, and love over hate. Therefore, examine their motives, actions, and objectives to ensure they are in alignment with the purpose God has orchestrated for them.

“Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.” I Corinthians 1:26-29

Father, despite the obstacles that they continuously face, you are always present to carry them through or to bring them out of any negative situations that have occurred.

When they feel like they have been depleted of their strength to endure the struggles of the day, you remind them that you have never forsaken them.

When they feel as if they have done all that they can to contain the battles and/or negative situations, you remind them that no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all to understand that they must take all situations to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to know that no man on earth, including themselves, can provide them with the peace that they long to have. Therefore, continue to take all things and situations to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for they have all the power to demolish strongholds as well as to uplift and free you from all darkness and evil.

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Galatians 5:1.
