GOD’S UNCHANGING HANDS

Father, I give you all the praise and glory for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unchanging hands.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they fall to their knees and give you praise for another blessed morning that was not promised. They smile because you are forever faithful and always present during their good and bad experiences. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly.

Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and love them. They know that there is no greater love than yours through your Son, Jesus Christ. They are grateful for your Holy Spirit’s guidance, direction, and peace through their storms of life.

Father, help all to understand that life is better with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Although they continue to experience heartache and troubles, their faith in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, brings them through unharmed.

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38–39

THE HOLY SPIRIT GUIDES ALL WHO BELIEVE IN JESUS

Father, praise your holy name 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 pause to think about your continued blessings, despite their shortcomings. Instead of allowing them to live in a state of depression due to their actions or inactions, you forgive them after their true repentance. You continue to love, uplift, protect, and guide them through their difficulties and to the path that you have established for them before they were even conceived by their parents. Your love is never-ending and always abounding.

Father, help all to understand your purpose for them. Help them to realize that they are not here by happenstance because you have established their purpose prior to their conception.

Father, help all to truly look at themselves from within, not how they believe they are seen from the viewpoint of others. Help them to read your holy word and compare their thoughts and actions to it. Moreover, help all to establish a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, so that the Holy Spirit can guide their thoughts and their steps.

“Before Jesus ascended to heaven, He told His disciples that He would send one who would teach and guide all those who believe in Him (Acts 1:5; John 14:26; 16:7). Jesus’ promise was fulfilled less than two weeks later when the Holy Spirit came in power on the believers at Pentecost (Acts 2).”

Father, as many have awakened blessed and highly favored, they smile because they finally understand the depth of your love, grace, and mercy.
Despite their shortcomings, your love for them has never depreciated. Knowing this, they aim to please you and put all their trust in you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to understand that your love is never-ending. Help them to further understand that they should always aim to have and keep a never-ending love for you as well as for others.

Moreover, help all to put you first in their lives and watch the power of the Lord turn their lives around. “When we turn our lives over to the Lord, the power behind us is always greater than the obstacles before us.”

“The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; therefore, my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song, I will praise Him.” Psalm 28:7

UNDERSTANDING THE DEVIL’S WILES

Father, as many have awakened and are blessed to experience another beautiful day in Christ, they praise you for your grace and mercy. They know that it is only because of your agape love that they are present in the body.

As they settle into their routine, they think about how you continue to bless them despite their shortcomings.

Therefore, they focus on putting you first in their lives.

Father, help all who follow those of the world and allow them to easily influence their walk in life. Help them to understand that there is no other love that can compare to yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. Moreover, help all to realize that you have already chosen them. Therefore, they should always serve you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to remain steadfast in your holy word to withstand the wiles of the devil.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:10-11

GOD WILL REDIRECT YOUR STEPS

Father, praise your holy name 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 pause to give you all the praise for your continued blessings, grace, favor, and mercy.

Father, help all to examine themselves to understand their own shortcomings. Help them to remain in constant prayer so that you can redirect their steps.

Despite their shortcomings, you have never failed them. Despite them knowing to do that which is right but choosing to do whatever satisfies the desires of their heart, you continue to forgive and redirect their path.

“A man’s heart deviseth his way, but the LORD directs his steps.”

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

YOU DO NOT BELONG TO YOURSELF

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 kneel in prayer in thankfulness for this blessed morning that was not promised.

They know that it is only because of your grace, mercy, and love that they have life. They know that, despite their shortcomings, your love for them is neverending.

They know that there is no greater love than yours, through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that your Holy Spirit dwells within all who trust in your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to know or understand that their “physical body” is a temple or sanctuary for the Holy Spirit, who lives in them and who was given to them by God.”

Help all to further know or understand that they do not belong to themselves, for they were bought by God for a price. So, honor God with their [physical] body.”

“When we give our lives to Christ, when we turn to Him in repentance and faith, He cleanses us of our sins, and He comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit. Once that happens, He begins to rule in our lives. In other words, He sets up His kingdom—His rule—within us. Only then does God take up residence in our lives through His Son.”

“What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” 1 Corinthians 6:19

ARE YOU PLEASING GOD?

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for the gift of life. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to provide, guide, direct, restore, renew, and love. You have never forsaken them, and your Holy Spirit continuously guides them.

Father, help all to take time to reverence you through your Son, Jesus Christ, on this beautiful and blessed day. Help all to realize that prayer is needed daily as well as throughout the day. Help them to always focus on pleasing you, not those of the world.

“So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others.” 2 Corinthians 5:9–11

DOING WHAT IS RIGHT

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank you.” It is only by your grace and mercy that they have life. Despite their continued shortcomings, you are faithful, loving, and forgiving. There is no one like you, and perpetrators are easily revealed and eventually provoked to true repentance.

Father, help all to understand that there is no “them” without you. Help them understand that you are aware of their thoughts prior to making plans to hurt, lie, and/or manipulate others. Despite you allowing your Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross so that all can have salvation, they still continue to do what pleases the soul instead of what pleases you.

Father, help all to realize that, despite man not being able to see through their many facades, you know and see all things. Therefore, do what is right in accordance with you, through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

“To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” Proverbs 21:3
