GOD’S BLESSINGS AND FAVOR

Father, I give you all the praise for your continued blessings and favor.  Because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, I have life and have it more abundantly. 

“The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” John 10:10

When I am down, you lift me up and allow me to face my challenges and temptations. 

“For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.  He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.” Psalm 91:3-4

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all things and situations that arise.  Help them to further understand that you have all power and control over all things and situations.

“Keep awake! Watch at all times. The devil is working against you. He is walking around like a hungry lion with his mouth open. He is looking for someone to eat. Stand against him and be strong in your faith.”

“Remember, other Christians over all the world are suffering the same as you are. After you have suffered for a while, God Himself will make you perfect. He will keep you in the right way. He will give you strength. He is the God of all loving-favor and has called you through Christ Jesus to share His shining-greatness forever.”            1 Peter 8-10

Father, help everyone to realize that you are the key to happiness, joy, and peace beyond understanding.  Help them to pray for discernment and favor.  Moreover, help all remain steadfast in prayer and supplication.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they give you all the praise for another blessed morning in Christ, and are also grateful for your unconditional love and the gift of life as well.

Father, because of you we have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what did not come to fruition, we praise you for your continued blessings and favor.  

When we were down and out, you continued to guide us to the path of righteousness.  When tears drowned our happiness, you turned our frowns to smiles and tears from sadness to happiness.              

Father, help everyone to depend on you for all things and situations.  Help those who are hopeless to cling to you closely through their adversities and challenges, knowing that you will never forsake them.

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days.” Deuteronomy 30:19-20

DO WHAT THE LORD HAS COMMANDED!

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

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

Because of you, we all have life and have it more abundantly. Because of you, after true repentance, our sins are washed away by the gravely water of baptism in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all who are lost or who straddle the fence as to whom they will serve.  Help them to understand that you are the answer to all of their needs, problems, wants, and worries. Help them to seek you first and pray that you continue to provide, direct, and protect them as they walk their spiritual journey.

“So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. “Walk in obedience to all that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess.” Deuteronomy 5:32-33

Father, help all to realize that you provide, protect, restore, renew, and direct all to the path of righteousness, daily. Therefore, cling to your unchanging hands during the good and the bad.

“Who can keep us from being victorious through Christ? Who can stand against us when God is on our side? For he never abandons us.”
Romans 8:35

GOD RESTORES, RENEWS, AND MAKES WHOLE

When they are sick and weary, you continue to heal them of all infirmities and allow their negative thoughts to be replaced with positive thoughts. 

When they felt defeated, you lifted them up through the renewal of your Holy Spirit. 

Despite their deficiencies as well as their failure to abide by your holy word, you are always present to restore, renew, and make whole.

WHOSE LIFE ARE YOU TRYING TO CONTROL?

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they continue to praise you for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. They know that, had it not been for you, they would not be present in the body. Therefore, they praise you through the good and the bad.

They know that all blessings come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Despite their shortcomings, you forgive them after their true repentance, and you continue to carry them through the good and the bad. You provide light through their momentary darkness, trials, tribulations, setbacks, heartaches, and challenges.

Therefore, instead of retreating to a space of seclusion, they push through all forces as they continue to trust in you for all things.

Father, help all to realize that they can only control their own lives; therefore, examine themselves to see their own inconsistencies, evil, jealousy, covetousness, and hurt that they inflict on others and make that their own focus in life.

Moreover, help all to be truthful to themselves prior to insinuating that the discourse that they have in their lives is brought on by others.

“He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.” Mark 7:20-23
