DEPEND ON GOD FOR ALL THINGS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it more abundantly. Despite their pain, they push through their troubles, focus on the blessings that you have bestowed upon them, and continuously direct, uplift, sustain, and carry them to a place of peace and happiness. 

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

FOCUSING TO DO GOD’S WILL

Father, giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m so grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

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

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly.
They give reverence to you through your Son, Jesus Christ for your continued grace, mercy, forgiveness, and guidance.  They know that despite the desires of their flesh or the need to be accepted by man, they must push through the desires of the flesh and the standards of man, and cling to righteousness with a sound mind and clean conscious by focusing on doing that which leads to salvation and not damnation. 

Father, help all to truly understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ is indeed the answer to all of their problems.  Help them to not lean on their own understanding, but go in prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, love, forgiveness, faithfulness, and focus to do your will, at all times, and not when it’s more beneficial them.

“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:12-14

DEPENDING ON GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST 

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because they know that they are covered by you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your unconditional love.

They know that with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, no weapons formed against them will prosper. They know that you have all the power to demolish strongholds, uplift the spiritually depleted, and protect those who have been led astray by the devil. 

Father, help everyone to depend on you for all of their needs, problems, worries, sicknesses, troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, and pain endured. Moreover, help them all to depend on you during both their good and bad experiences.

DAILY REVERENCE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.  I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to thank you for another day that was not promised. They smile because your love never dissipates. They cry tears of joy because despite continously falling short of your glory, you continue to forgive, provide, guide, and protect. 

Father, help all to take time out of their day to reverence  you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.  Help them to understand that you are the reason they have life and have it more abundantly. 

“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.”

THE HOLY SPIRIT DIRECTS AND INTERCEDES

Father, I praise your holy name 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 sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised.  They know that it is only by your grace that they are able to continuously push through their challenges. 
Instead of giving up or giving in, they pray for your divine intervention, direction, and resolve through all circumstances. They understand that change is necessary for growth, direction, and, most of all, a firm dependence upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ. 

Father, help all to realize that a true relationship with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, is essential. Help them to begin by studying your holy word to show themselves approved. Help them to then apply knowledge to their hearts and minds, realizing that you come so that all may have life and have it more abundantly. 

Moreover, help all to remain firm in faith, knowing that the enemy will attempt to discourage, cause division, doubt, and confusion. However, your Holy Spirit will always guide, direct, and intercede on their behalf.

“Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27

GOD JUDGES BY WORDS AND DEEDS

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to give you all the praise for your unconditional love. They are grateful for the gift of life and another opportunity to glorify your holy name.

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. Despite the downs that they experience in life, they continue to push through their troubles with a smile. Despite their ups in life, they continue to remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, studying your holy word to show themselves approved, rightly dividing your holy word. Despite their negative encounters with those who claim to be of you, they push forward, knowing that no one can ever be truly known by what they say alone because actions speak louder than words. 

Father, help all realize that they will be held accountable for their actions, words, and deeds. Therefore, repent, confess Christ, and for those who have not been baptized in the watery grave of baptism, be reborn in the watery grave in the name of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4

GOD’S FAVOR 

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your continued blessings and guidance.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your abundant blessings and your unconditional love. 

They know that had it not been for you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they would not have such unexplainable joy, despite their continued trials and struggles in life.

They know that if it weren’t for their faith in you, through Jesus Christ, they would not have been able to carry on as they endured a silent cry that lies deeply within their soul. 

Father, help all to understand that they must hold on to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad. Help them to further understand that you are always present and will never forsake them. 

Father, help all to understand that you know everything and that you are always present, carrying them through their darkest experiences, storms, and struggles in life. Help them to know that through it all, you continue to protect, guide, restore, and renew them, as well as direct them through and to a place of peace, serenity, joy, and unexplainable love. 

“Your favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.” Psalms 30:5

They smile because you have allowed them another opportunity to make a difference, correct their wrongs, and walk in accordance with your holy word. 

They smile because they know that it is only because of you that they are present in the body, and they are allowed to choose righteousness as they take heed to your teachings and ultimately better define their walk and purpose in life. 

Father, help all to understand that there will be troubles, trials, tribulations, setbacks, heartaches, as well as temptations; however, when they are truly connected with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they will find strength, beyond comprehension, to push through all obstacles and adversities to gain the purest form of peace, serenity, joy, and love.

“We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.”
