GOD’S ABUNDANT LOVE

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I am grateful for another opportunity to worship you in spirit and in truth.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ, for another opportunity to turn their wrongs into rights. They confess their sins and repent of them as they continue to focus on walking the straight and narrow path to righteousness. They pray fervently for you to keep them uplifted when they face trials that seem never-ending. They know that, with you, all things are possible, and despite their past, they are made whole.

Father, help all to understand that you are always in their midst. Help them to understand that you want all to change their ways and come to you so that all can have life and have it more abundantly.

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:18-19

A TRUE DEPENDENCY ON CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your second chance.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they send praises to you for your unconditional love.  It is only by your grace that they are present in the body.  Therefore, they strive to continue to put you first in their life on a daily basis.  

They know that nothing is impossible with you; therefore, they continue to cling to your unchanging hands.  

When they are sick, you protect them throughout the process and restore their health.  When they are weak, you provide them with the strength to endure pain.

When they feel defeated, you never allow them to become deflated by the circumstances of life.  Instead, you push them through and to excellence!

Father, help all to realize that a dependency upon you results in renewed and restored health.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5

GOD’S HAS ALL CONTROL

Father, give you all praise for this blessed morning in Christ.  I’m grateful for your unconditional love, protection, guidance, restoration, and peace.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their day, they smile because you have granted them another opportunity to get it right.  They smile because they are able to examine themselves and determine where they have fallen short and repent of their sins.  They smile because, despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive and redirect their path as well as their mindset.  

Father, help all to understand that they always have a reason to smile, despite their pain, darkness, and/or difficulties in life.  Help them to understand that with you, they have eternal life.  

Father, help all to also realize that they can always depend upon you through their difficulties, because you control all things, situations, and people.  

“In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the  promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.” 
Ephesians 1:11-14

AN OVERCOMER IN CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for your continued blessings.  I’m grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their day, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. Despite their sins, you continue to forgive them after true repentance and guide them back to the path of righteousness.  Despite the bad experiences in their lives, you renewed their mindset, and they were able to withstand the wiles of the devil.  Despite the pitfalls in their lives, they were able to overcome such and push through and to victory.

Father, help all to understand that, as long as they have you, they will overcome all obstacles, darkness, difficulties, setups, and/or setbacks.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 you for your continued grace and mercy.  Despite their shortcomings, your love for them remains constant.  They pray day and night to be able to do that which pleases you instead of that which pleases man.  However, they understand that both good and bad experiences are needed to grow spiritually as well as get closer to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily in accordance with your holy word.  Help them to always yield to temptation and put on the breastplate of righteousness daily.

“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.” Ephesians 6:14-17

AN ABSOLUTE DEPENDENCE ON GOD

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they thank you for another day that was not promised. Despite their pain, agony, sickness, and/or shortcomings, they continue to push through their obstacles, knowing that your light will always guide them to true peace and happiness.
