IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH

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 think about the blessings you continuously bestow upon them. They realize that if it had not been for your grace and mercy, they would not be present in the body. If it had not been for your agape love, they would not have been able to push through their mental and physical pain. If it had not been for your sacrifice of your Son, Jesus Christ, they would not have the capability to repent of their sins.

Therefore, they worship you in spirit and in truth and praise your holy name. They repent of their sins and pray for discernment, guidance, direction, peace, happiness, and joy.

Father, help all to understand that all blessings come from you and through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help all to worship you daily, in spirit and in truth.

“But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23-24

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

Father, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and your Holy Spirit, are the only constants in their lives.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one.” 1 John 5:7

“The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14

Father, praise your holy name for this marvelously blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for answered prayers.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for turning their frown to a smile.

Father, help all to understand that there is a time and a season for all experiences. Despite its intensity, continue trusting in you through your Son, Jesus Christ, knowing that through it all, ultimately, your purpose for them will be revealed.

“And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5

GOD’S PEACE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING

Father, 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 pause to give you all praise for another blessed day and the opportunity to make a difference.

They smile because you continue to provide, guide, protect, and direct them despite their shortcomings.

They praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ, because, despite their sins, your love has never wavered. They pray for forgiveness and the fortitude to continue to put you first despite the obstacles, temptations, and distractions that they encounter in life.

Father, help all to build a genuine relationship with you by searching and studying the scriptures to gain the spiritual connection and guidance that they long to have with you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Help them to further build a strong and God-fearing relationship with you, where they become awakened and are able to share your Holy Word with all whom they come into contact with in every walk of life.

“And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.”
Phillipians 4:7-8

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

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

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD

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

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
