WHO DICTATES YOUR WALK IN LIFE?

Father, I give you all the praise for a peaceful night of rest and the gift of life on this beautiful morning that was not promised.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. 

They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. 

They know that there are many who see their kindness as a weakness, failing to realize that the love that they have for all is indeed essential, as Jesus Christ says, “Love your neighbors as you love yourself.”

Father, help all to evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word and apply such understanding. Help them to not allow others to dictate their walk in life. 

“I am the LORD your God, who teaches you for your benefit, who directs you in the way you should go.” Isaiah 48:17

“Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:6

Father, help all to realize that you are the answer to all of their problems and they should always have a relationship and dependability on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ. They know that it is only by your grace, mercy, and ultimate sacrifice that they are given many opportunities to repent and be forgiven of their sins.

Father, help all to understand that you are always present, and they will always be victorious as well as prevail against the wiles of the devil.

Therefore, cling to your unchanging hands during both their good and their not-so-good days.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:10-13
