WHO ARE YOU DEPENDING ON?

Father, thank you for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and continued guidance, grace, mercy, and favor. 

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 that they have life and have it more abundantly. They know that they can do nothing without you; therefore, they continue to depend upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for all things. 

When they are down, you elevate them to a place of peace, serenity, and genuine happiness.

When they are lonely, you allow your holy spirit to accompany them in all aspects of their lives. 

When they are filled with joy, they spread such joy to all whom they come in contact with. 

Father, help all to walk in faith in accordance with your holy word and never waver in their efforts to do that which is right. Help them to understand that there will be troubled days as well as days of peace beyond understanding. Therefore, cling closely to your unchanging hands during the ups and downs in life.

Moreover, help all to understand that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, are forever and always abounding; therefore, depend upon all daily for all things.

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8

GOD’S TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT

Father, I give you all the praise for another blessed morning that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and for turning bad experiences into positive lessons learned. 

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey as well, they focus on the numerous situations that you have brought them through. Despite their shortcomings, you have never forsaken them. They know that had it not been for those experiences and your bringing them through it all, they would not have become the person who they are today. Moreover, they would not have the relationship with you and dependency on you as they do. 

Father, help all to realize that you are the answer to all situations, troubles, sadness, heartaches, challenges, pain, and agony.

Father, help all to lean on you for all things and situations. Help them to understand that you are always present, will never forsake them, and will always lift them up in your timing.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they also pause to give you all the praise for your continued favor.

PUSHING THROUGH WITH FAITH 

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love and continued favor.

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. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to guide, provide, and protect. Despite their wrongdoings, you prick their hearts to repent of their sins and turn away from doing what pleases the flesh and focus on doing that which pleases you. 

Father, help all to understand that tomorrow is never promised; therefore, push forward knowing that you have never forsaken them and will always be present to carry them through their trials and darkest experiences. 

“Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

“So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.” Galatians 3:26-27
