ONE IN CHRIST JESUS

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they first say a prayer of thankfulness for providing them another opportunity to change their ways and commit to serving you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

They know that had it not been for you, they would not have become the person that you had orchestrated them to become. Through life’s most difficult experiences, you have never failed them. Despite what others may perceive as failing them, many understand that you know all things and have established a day and time for everyone to be born and for their demise.

Father, help everyone to understand that time does not wait for one to get their lives together. Therefore, repent and confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and be spiritually born again in the grave water of baptism for the remission of sin and to become one with Christ.

“For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:27-28

A TRUE COMMITMENT TO GOD

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 sing praises to you for this blessed morning in Christ. They are grateful for another opportunity to say, “Thank you for the gift of life.”

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life, and they have it more abundantly. They understand that true happiness comes from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that there is no love on earth that compares to your love. Therefore, instead of continuing to do whatever pleases their flesh, they repent of their sins and commit themselves to you wholeheartedly as they are buried in the grave water of baptism and rise as a new babe in Christ.

Father, help all to understand that the time is here to not only hear your Holy Word but to obey, worship, pray, and teach others through their actions.

“And may your hearts be fully committed to the LORD, our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.” 1 Kings 8:61

FOCUSING ON GOD’S HOLY WORD

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to your holy name for another day that was not promised. They smile because they know that it is only by your grace that they are given another opportunity to change their ways and do what is right. They pray a prayer of thanksgiving because you continue to see them as worthy despite their shortcomings.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves and never take the gift of life for granted. Help them to understand that you have appointed everyone a time to be born and a time to die—a physical death—to experience a spiritual life with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to understand that only you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, know the timing of physical death and spiritual awakening. Therefore, focus on your holy word and not the cares of the world.

“For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12

NO ONE IS COMPARABLE TO GOD

Father, help all to take time out of their busy schedules to acknowledge you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them understand that all blessings come from you through Jesus Christ. Help them to further realize that establishing a true relationship with you through your Son, Jesus Christ, is essential to peace, joy, and happiness during their storms in life.

Father, help all to understand that you continuously direct their path, soothe their pain and agony, forgive all who repent of their sins, and that you are forever present in their lives.

Father, help all to understand that you are essential to their lives and their happiness. Help them to understand that there is no one, possession, or title that is comparable to you and your agape love.

“Among the gods, there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours.
All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God.” Psalms 86:8-10

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, help us all to be grateful despite our downs in life. Moreover, help all to understand that if there were no downs in life, there would be no growth, as well as no dependency on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world.” When we seek God with all of our hearts and draw near to Him, we will feel His presence once again.” James 4:8

CHOOSING RIGHTEOUSNESS

Father, help all to remain strong in their faith, knowing that all blessings come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to choose righteousness even when they are outnumbered by that which is evil and/or contrary to your holy word.

“For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:31-33.

THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH

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 sing praises to you for another day that was not promised. They smile because you have never failed them. When their trials and tribulations were unbearable, you have always been there to carry them through their pain when such burdens made it impossible to move forward in their life.

When their fight to not give up or to give in caused them to experience more attacks, they continued to call on your name to pull them through and to a place of peace and happiness.

Father, help all to understand that you are indeed the answer to all of their problems. Therefore, draw closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Study to show yourself approved, rightly dividing your holy word, as they walk the straight and narrow path that leads to salvation.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Matthew 7:13–14

FOCUSING ON WHAT IS

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness. They understand that it is only by your grace that they have life this morning. Therefore, instead of allowing their circumstances to dictate their mood, they pray for protection, guidance, direction, peace, joy, love, and that your will for them is done.

Father, help all who are continuously reliving what could have been instead of what is. Help all to know that they should not lean on their own understanding, for you have a purpose for all things and/or experiences. Moreover, help all to cling closely to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, through their good and their bad days.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Philippians 4:8

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
Psalm 23:4-6
