GOD’S PERFECT TIMING

Father, give you all the praise for your continued blessings.  I’m grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, thank you for your unfailing love.  Father, as many have opened their eyes to a new day in Christ, they are filled with joy and happiness.  They know that it is only because of your unconditional love that they are able to withstand the wiles of the devil.  Therefore, when their burdens become heavy, they bow on their knees in prayer to you through your Son Jesus Christ.  

Father, help all to understand that you are the father of peace, and you continuously protect your children throughout their lifetime.   Help all to pray fervently and keep their hearts pure. In addition, help all to put all their trust in you throughout their good days, as well as their not-so good days, resting-assure in your perfect timing.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” Jeremiah 29:11-12?

FOCUSING ON THE PRIZE

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 say thank you! Despite their shortcomings, you continue to provide them with an opportunity to repent of their sins and start anew in Christ. Therefore, so that such is not a continuously repetitive process, they pray for guidance, direction, and the willpower to remain focused on you through your Son, Jesus Christ, during their good and bad experiences.  
Because of answered prayers, they are better able to withstand the temptations and focus on the prize that awaits them.

Father, help all to understand that the afflictions endured are necessary to gain the prize that awaits them by and through your Son Jesus Christ.

“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.”
Psalm 34: 17-20

ALL THINGS ARE DURABLE WITH CHRIST

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed day in Christ. I’m grateful for your love and protection.

Father, as many have made it through another day that was not promised, they praise your holy name for always leading, guiding, directing, and blessing them.

Father, help all to know that all things are better with you in their lives.  It does not mean that their life will be perfect, but that all things are durable with you through your Jesus Christ.

“Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies, and your right hand delivers me. The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.” Psalm 138:7-8

FOLLOWING THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they say a prayer of thankfulness.  Because of you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, they have another opportunity to turn their wrongs to rights.  They know that no one is perfect, and they all fall short of your glory daily.  Therefore, they aim to live a life in which those who live unrighteously will thrive to live righteously.  

Father, help all to understand that no one on earth is perfect. However, after their repentance, and by your grace and mercy, they do that which is required to continue to follow the path of righteousness.

“In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.” Proverbs 12:28

GOD’S CONSTANT BLESSINGS

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

Father, as many have awakened to witness another beautiful opportunity to get it right, they praise you for your grace and mercy.  Despite falling short of your glory, you continue to show up and show out.  When they felt depleted, you renewed their mindset and restored their vision to accomplish what seemed impossible.  When they felt misunderstood, you opened their eyes to understand the lesson you were teaching them.  As a result, they now know that trust is something earned and not freely given.  

Father,  help all to realize that there will be days when what seems to be going in their favor, result in heartache. However, at the same time, there is nothing in life worth having that comes easily. Therefore, continue to trust in you during the good and the bad for your blessings, for your children, remain constant.  

“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

WHAT IS YOUR FOCUS?

Father, thank you for another day in Christ.  I am grateful for your unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened to witness another day in Christ, they praise your holy name for awakening them to witness another day.  They give you all honor for your answered prayers.  Despite their sins, you continue to provide them with the opportunities to get it right.

Father, help all to understand that there is a greater purpose to their existence.  Therefore, look beyond the accolades received from accomplishing worldly goals and focus on accomplishing spiritual goals.

“Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”  
Philippians 3:12-14

LEANING ON GOD

Father, praise your holy name for your grace and mercy. I’m grateful for your agape love.

Father, as many have made it through this blessed day in Christ, they pause to say, “Thank You”.  They know that it is only because of your grace that they have made it through another day that was not promised. Despite their unresolved pain, you continue to pull them through and to a place of peace and understanding. However, the memories regarding the cause of their unresolved pain simultaneously outweigh their broken heart as well as their understanding.

Father, help all to realize that there are some things that cannot dissipate as one would like, despite the timing of events and/or temporary appeasement.  Help all to lean on you for comfort in the time of need.

“For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, ‘Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” Isaiah 41:13
