WILL YOU CLING TIGHT TO GOD?

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 another day that was not promised. Despite their challenges in life, they push through with determination to make a difference. Instead of giving up or giving in, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness and for the willpower to overcome all challenges. They understand that you are definitely the key to their livelihood, happiness, peace, and joy.

Father, help all to cling tight to you through the good and the bad, the light and the darkness, as well as the faith and the fear.

“But you shall cling to the LORD, your God, just as you have done to this day. For the LORD has driven out before you great and strong nations. And as for you, no man has been able to stand before you to this day. One man of you puts to flight a thousand, since it is the LORD, your God, who fights for you, just as he promised you. Be very careful, therefore, to love the LORD, your God.” Joshua 23:8-11

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE CONSTANT IN YOUR LIFE 

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 pause to say thank you for another blessed morning that was not promised. They do not take such blessings for granted because they know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body.

Instead of dwelling on what did not come to fruition, they focus on the grace, mercy, and love that you continue to provide to them despite their shortcomings.

Instead of dwelling on what others may think about them, they focus on remaining faithful to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to choose righteousness over sinfulness. Help all to understand that they oftentimes focus on the feedback of others more than your holy word. Help all to understand that people will come and go into their lives, but your holy spirit is always constant in their lives.

“But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.” John 16:13-14

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

Through him, all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:1-5
