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 have begun their morning journey, they smile because you continue to forgive, provide, protect, and guide.

When they were experiencing many trials, you kept them focused on rising above their difficulties. Instead of dwelling on what did not occur, they prepared their mindset to accept whatever may come their way, knowing that you have the ultimate power over all things, both seen and unseen.

Father, help all to loosen their grasp of fear and tighten their grasp of faith in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know that you are the answer to all of their problems. Therefore, put on your breastplate of righteousness, helmet of salvation, and armor and shield as they lead others to you through Jesus Christ.

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6

AIMING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

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 smile. They try to never take the gift of life for granted; however, they fall short because no one on earth is perfect. Because they know that life is a gift from you, they cherish each day that you allow them to present themselves as your child.

Father, help all to understand that there is nothing done on earth that is hidden from you. Therefore, confess and repent of their sins, as well as pray for your divine direction.

Father, help all to understand that it is only by grace that they have life. Therefore, instead of taking advantage of your unconditional love, aim to do what is righteous in accordance with you and your teachings.

“But you, Timothy, man of God, run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses.”
1 Timothy 6:11–12

GOD’S DIVINE PURPOSE AND POWER!

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you!” They are grateful for your agape love and the fortitude that you continue to provide them to push through life’s difficulties. They know that despite whatever occurs, you are “omniscience (all-knowing), omnipotence (all-powerful), and omnibenevolence (supremely good).” They are also aware that your ‘divine presence encompasses the whole of the universe. There is no location where you do not inhabit or have the power to do anything, and/or is perfectly good’.

Father, help all to trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for all things. In addition, help them know that you are all powerful, loving, and forgiving and will never forsake them.

“I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” Psalm 57:2

WHO ARE YOU PUTTING FIRST IN YOUR LIFE?

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed and marvelous morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued grace and mercy. Because of you, they have life and have it more abundantly. Because of you, they push forward, knowing that all things are possible with you. Because of you, they are able to witness their own spiritual progression in life. Because of you, they know that your purpose for them will never be throttled. Because of you, they maintain their faith by focusing on your will instead of their wants.

Father, help all to know that you are the reason for their existence. Help all to realize that you are the key to life, happiness, peace, joy, and salvation. Therefore, remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, and always put you first through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

FIX YOUR EYES ON GOD

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

Father, as many have started their morning journey, they pause to thank you for your love, blessings, and protection. They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they have life and have it so abundantly. Therefore, they continue to focus on the positives despite the various sources of negativity.

Father, help all to fix their eyes on you and your wondrous favor, grace, mercy, joy, protection, forgiveness, and peace beyond understanding. Help all to seek your approval, not the approval of men or women who cannot control or direct their own path in life.

“Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right side of God’s throne.” Hebrews 12:2

GOD WILL NOT FORESAKE YOU

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 smile because your love is never-ending. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to allow your Holy Spirit to direct their path. When they are weak, you provide them with the strength to accomplish the mission at hand. When they are doubtful, you bring to their rememberance that you have never failed them.

Father, help all to depend upon you for all things. Help them to understand that you are indeed the answer to all their needs and wants. Moreover, you have never, and will never forsake them.

‘Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

SPIRITUALLY EVALUATE SELF

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your love, grace, and mercy. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them, and you continuously provide, guide, and direct them throughout their walk in life.

Father, help all to know that true happiness, peace, joy, and love come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to understand that despite how others may favor them, they must keep their eyes fixed on the favor that only comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to further understand that tomorrow is not promised; therefore, evaluate themselves to better understand their own shortcomings instead of pleasing others so that their shortcomings are acceptable to man and not you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!”
2 Corinthians 13:5

GOD KNOWS ALL THINGS

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your unconditional love, peace through their storms, as well as their happiness despite the darkness that tries to dim their light.

Father, thank you for being ever-present in the lives of all who continue to love despite the non-reciprocation of such love from those who oftentimes cause the most havoc in their lives.

Help all to understand that you know the heart of everyone; therefore, always confess their sins, repent, and return to you through their words as well as their deeds.

Father, help all who choose to focus on pleasing those who are conformed to this world. Help all who know to do that which is right, but choose to do whatever it takes to please their flesh. Moreover, help those who know of you but have not formed a relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“The LORD sees everything you do, and he watches where you go. An evil man will be caught in his wicked ways; the ropes of his sins will tie him up. He will die because he does not control himself, and he will be held captive by his foolishness.”
Proverbs 5:21-23

NOTHING COMPARES TO GOD’S LOVE

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your “peace, which surpasses all understanding.”

When they were in the midst of darkness, they feared not, for your Holy Spirit guided them through and to peace and serenity.

When they were challenged beyond measure, you provided them with the fortitude to rise above the occasion.

When they feared what was to come, they were reminded of your peace, which surpasses all understanding.

Father, help all to understand that there is neither one nor anything on earth that compares to your holy powers. Help them to put all their trust in you and continue to trust you for all things.

“Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:7

WILL YOU CLING TIGHT TO GOD?

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you for another day that was not promised. Despite their challenges in life, they push through with determination to make a difference.

Father, help all to cling tight to you through the good and the bad, the light and the darkness, as well as the faith and the fear.

“But you shall cling to the LORD, your God, just as you have done to this day. For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations. And as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day. One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD, your God, who fights for you, just as he promised you. Be very careful, therefore, to love the LORD, your God.” Joshua 23:8-11
