OPEN YOUR EYES TO WHAT GOD HAS PURPOSED FOR YOU!

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

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

Despite their shortcomings, your love never wavers.  Therefore, they repent of their sins and pray for your divine direction to keep them on the straight and narrow path to righteousness.

Father, help everyone to open their eyes to see what you have purposed for them.  Help them to further understand that you are the answer to all of their needs as well as their wants.  Therefore, cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, during the good and the bad experiences in life.

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.” 
Isaiah 54:17

Father, as many others have also awakened, they praise your holy name and give you all the glory for another day that was not promised.

A COST FOR ACTIONS AND INACTIONS

Father, I give you all the praise for another day that was not promised. I’m also beyond grateful for second chances to turn my wrongs into rights.

Father, as many have awakened this morning, they are also beyond grateful for second chances to turn their wrongs into rights.

Therefore, all fall to their knees to pray a prayer of gratitude and forgiveness for their thoughts, actions, and inactions.

Father, help all to understand that there is always a cost for their actions or inactions. Help all to examine themselves daily with your holy word as their light to guide them through all darkness.

“For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:5-8

GLORIFY GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for another blessed day that was not promised.

Father, as many have awakened and have started their daily journey, they sing praises to you for your continued protection and blessings. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. 

When they were down, you blessed them by reigniting the passion for and by becoming more obedient to your Holy word. 

When they were spiritually lost, you redefined their purpose within to become more spiritually focused through lessons learned. 

When they repented of their sins, they began to witness greater blessings, favor, and continued guidance.

Moreover, when they began to talk to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, they began to have a stronger reliance on and connection with you, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. 

Father, help all to stop worrying about how friends and family see them and worry about how you see them. Help them to withstand temptation and remain strong in your Holy Word during their good and not-so-good days.

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.” Eph 3:20-21

“Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.”
James 1:12
