GLORIFYING GOD, DESPITE IT ALL

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 praise for your continued protection, guidance, direction, peace, and joy, despite their shortcomings.

They pause to glorify you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, for never forsaking them, despite their inconsistencies.

Father, thank you for providing everyone with the various trials that they have endured, for the lessons learned from such trials have allowed them to become more dependent upon you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

In addition, Father, thank you for the gift of life. Thank you for your grace and mercy. Thank you for allowing them many chances to become the God-fearing man or woman that you have orchestrated them to become. Thank you for your continued grace and mercy.

“Therefore, by Him, let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” Hebrews 13:15-16

A RENEWED MINDSET

Father, thank you for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they smile. Despite their shortcomings, you continue to forgive, provide, protect, restore, renew, and guide them to the path of righteousness.

Although no one is perfect on earth, with you, they are made whole. Therefore, they put all their trust in you during their good and bad days. They also commit their lives to serve you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to see your light, for they have become accustomed to darkness. Help them to renew their mindset and walk the straight and narrow path of righteousness.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good, acceptable, and perfect.” Romans 12:2

TRUSTING IN THE LORD FOR ALL THINGS

Father, praise your holy name for this 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 give you praise and glorify your holy name. Because of you, they have life and have it more abundantly. Therefore, they forget about the woes in life and focus on their blessings. They know that despite their experiences in life, you have never forsaken them and continuously uplift, restore, renew, and guide them to peace and serenity.

Father, help all to understand that if there are no challenges in their lives, there is neither growth nor dependability on you through your Son, Jesus Christ.

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song, I praise him.” Psalm 28:7

“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.” Psalm 9:10

WHOSE LIFE ARE YOU TRYING TO CONTROL?

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they continue to praise you for your continued blessings, grace, and mercy. They know that, had it not been for you, they would not be present in the body. Therefore, they praise you through the good and the bad.

They know that all blessings come from you through your Son, Jesus Christ. Despite their shortcomings, you forgive them after their true repentance, and you continue to carry them through the good and the bad. You provide light through their momentary darkness, trials, tribulations, setbacks, heartaches, and challenges.

Therefore, instead of retreating to a space of seclusion, they push through all forces as they continue to trust in you for all things.

Father, help all to realize that they can only control their own lives; therefore, examine themselves to see their own inconsistencies, evil, jealousy, covetousness, and hurt that they inflict on others and make that their own focus in life.

Moreover, help all to be truthful to themselves prior to insinuating that the discourse that they have in their lives is brought on by others.

“He went on: “What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come—sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person.” Mark 7:20-23

JESUS CHRIST DELIVERS AND CAUSES EVERYONE TO BE VICTORIOUS

Despite their shortcomings, as well as their trials and tribulations, they push through adversity, obstacles, and darkness by depending on you and not themselves. They know that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, are the reason for their deliverance and the cause of their being victorious.

Father, help all to understand that with you, they can make it through all adversities and challenges. Help them to continue to hold on to your unchanging hands during both the good and the bad.

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58

A GREATER PURPOSE

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful morning in Christ, they pray a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body. Therefore, instead of dwelling on what went wrong or what didn’t come to fruition, they focus on the gift of life and your continued blessings, guidance, direction, peace, grace, and direction.

They understand that there will be trials as well as tribulations; however, your love for them remains constant. They know that despite their challenges in life, you continue to see them through all circumstances and push them to greatness.

Father, help all to realize that you are the key to happiness during their most difficult experiences. Help them to also understand that there is a greater purpose for their experiences, which will soon be revealed. Therefore, remain steadfast in prayer and supplication, trusting in you for all things.

“Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
Ephesians 4:13-20

THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Father, I am giving you all the praise for allowing me to witness another day that was not promised. I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning routine, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. They know that it is only by your grace that they have life.

Father, help all to evaluate themselves throughout the day to determine who they are representing, you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, or Satan.

Father, help all to understand that prayer is needed throughout the day to better guide them to the path of righteousness.

“And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.” Philippians 3:9.

GOD IS THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR NEEDS

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, some are ecstatic, whereas others are not. Those who are ecstatic are focused on you. They know that it is a blessing from you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, that they have life and have it more abundantly. Those who are not ecstatic are only concerned about themselves and the negativity that comes from carrying envy within, not getting enough sleep, and continuing to internalize why things are not going their way. Instead of praying for direction and a sound mind, they depend on themselves, which ultimately leads to them falling prey to the tactics of the devil.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all of their problems. Help them understand that you are always the key to happiness during their pain, agony, fear, depression, and anxiety.

“And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:8

WE ARE GOD’S WORKMANSHIP

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they fall to their knees in prayer, thanking you for the gift of life—the ability to walk, see, talk, smell, taste, think, and feel. These gifts are what allow us all to function each day, which, unfortunately, many take for granted.

Father, help all to continuously pray for the good of those who love you with all their heart, mind, and soul. Help them to understand that a true relationship, as well as dependency upon you, is necessary to make it through their daily journey.

Therefore, study to show themselves approved: “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.” Ephesians 2:10
