KNOWING THE ORIGINATION OF TESTS AND TEMPTATIONS

Father, praise your holy name for this beautiful morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice!

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises for another day that was not promised. They awakened with their minds, which stayed upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that it is only because of you that they have life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, protect, uplift, restore, renew, and direct them to the path of righteousness.

Father, help all who feel like giving up or giving in. Help them to understand that there will be many tests from you and many temptations from Satan. However, be strong, for their faith in you through your Son Jesus Christ, will bring them through for you to come so they may have life and have it more abundantly.

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, nor tempteth he any man.”
James 1:13 “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man.”
James 1:13

“Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.”
1 Peter 1:7

THE BEGINNING OF CHANGE

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, ‘Thank You’. It is only by your grace that they have another opportunity to get it right. Despite their shortcomings, your love for them is never-ending.

Father, help all to start each day anew, focusing on your blessings and ensuring that they do not take their blessings for granted. Help them to understand that nothing in life is perfect or promised; therefore, focus on their blessing to witness another day and to accomplish their goals in life, as well as helping others to accomplish their goals.

THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE THAN GOD’S LOVE

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

They further understand that you are Alpha and Omega, and you know and are in control of all things. Although, you allow everyone to choose their path in life, you always show up to redirect them to the path that is more advantageous to accomplish what you have designed for them to accomplish, be and/or become.

Father, help all to trust in you for all things. Help them to understand that their timing does not determine your timing and/or will for them. Help them to understand that they should cling closely to your unchanging hands during the good as well as the bad. Moreover, help them understand that you come so that they may life, and have it abundantly!

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8

KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LORD!

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life and your continued blessings!

They are grateful to you for allowing them to awaken and see another day.

They have repented of their sins and prayed that they would be led by your holy spirit, but despite knowing what to do, they continue to do whatever it takes to gain worldly approval, not spiritual approval.

They say whatever sounds good to place them in the light; however, their inner being is filled with darkness and deceitfulness.

They look the part, but forget that regardless of what others may perceive, you know all things.

They gloat at the misfortunes of others, although they are consistently lifted by you during their darkest moments.

They compete against others while secretly watching their progress in life as well as your favor over their life.

They hate when others, who have a genuine relationship with you, praise you for their good as well as their bad.

However, they still choose to seek favor from those who are accepted, worshipped, and put upon a pedestal because of their popularity and/or association with a particular group, class, and/or title.

Father, help all to tread carefully. Help them understand that you know, see, and hear everything. Moreover, no person can atone for their sins. Therefore, keep their minds on you in all areas of life.

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3
