GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH!

Father, I am giving you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they pause to give you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, all praise for another opportunity to get it right. They understand that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of complaining about what hasn’t come to fruition, they focus on your holy word as well as what you have allowed and predestined to come to fruition.

Instead of focusing on negativity, shortcomings, failures, trials, tribulations, and/or setbacks, they choose to live life, pushing through obstacles and trusting in you for all things that you have purposed for them.

Father, help all to understand that there will be tests as well as temptations. However, keep their faith, knowing that you are “our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.”
Psalm 46:1-3

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 IS LOVE

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they first give praise to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another day that was not promised.

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.”
1 John 4:16

Help all to also understand that it is imperative that we always aim for righteousness, regardless of the situation.
Moreover, understand that there is no one on earth who is perfect or sinless. However, you give them all the opportunity to repent of their sins and start over. Therefore, be cognizant of your thoughts, actions, words, and deeds, because each person will be held accountable.

“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.”
