YOUR DESTINY AWAITS

Father, giving you all the praise for your unconditional love.  I’m grateful for your presence in my life.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their daily journey, they are filled with an indescribable joy.  They know that despite their sadness that often creeps within, your love continues to uplift them.  They understand that your love, through Jesus Christ, is all powerful and never-ending.  They realize that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are able to push through their heartaches and carry on to walk the path that you have established for them. 

Father, help all to know that their is always a rainbow which awaits them at the end of their assigned task.  Help them to never give up and always look to you to resolve all impediments to reaching their assigned destination.

“Having determined our destiny ahead of time, he called us to himself and transferred his perfect righteousness to everyone he called. And those who possess his perfect righteousness he co-glorified with his Son!” Romans 8:30

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD THROUGH TRIALS

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

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they pause to say a prayer of thankfulness. They know that today was not promised because life itself is like a vapor. Therefore, they cherish each second within a minute, each minute within an hour, and each hour within a day. They know and are grateful that they are connected with you by the blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Therefore, they continue to love, obey, and honor you and Christ daily.  

Father, help all to understand that it is you through your Son Jesus Christ, who gives them life, happiness, peace, joy, and protection.  Although all are tested, the “trials are necessary for us to be shaped and made fit to receive that happiness that comes as we qualify for the greatest of all the gifts of God.”

“Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.” James 1:12

JESUS CHRIST IS CORE IN OUR LIFE

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey,  they sing praises to you through your Son Jesus Christ for the gift of life.  They know that all things are possible with you through your Son, Jesus Christ.  When they were challenged beyond measure, you continued to hold their hands until they were strong enough to persevere through such challenges.  When they had become a target of oppression by those who were envious of them, you assured them that no weapons formed against them would prosper.

Father, help all to understand that when they allow you to be the core in their life, they will be tried, but never defeated, because they have made you core in their life.

“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 and acceptable and perfect.”  Romans 12:2

ENDURING CHALLENGES

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son Jesus Christ. They know that it is only by your grace that they are present in the body.  Therefore, instead of continuing to do the same things while expecting something different,  they become anew in their thoughts, speech, and actions.  

Father, help all to understand that challenges arise daily. However, when they are confident in who they are, as well as who has all the power,  their daily challenges become faith builders.  

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9

Father, help all to understand that knowledge is key to overcoming the wiles of the devil. Therefore, remain alert, prayed up, as well as obedient to you through your Son Jesus Christ.

GROWING CLOSER TO GOD

Father, praising Ur holy name for another blessed day in Christ. Grateful for Ur Holy Spirit.

Father, as many have made it through another blessed day, they sing praises to U for carrying them through their trials and to that which has been purposed for them. Despite their efforts to focus more on U, they became more concerned about the things that failed to bring them joy.   However, as they thought about their faults and/or shortcomings, they became more concerned with wrongfully judging those who actually resembled them.

Father, help all to understand that all will fall short of Ur glory. However, with U, they are provided grace and mercy. Moreover, help them to focus on that which brings them closer to U through Ur 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

GOD’S FORTITUDE

Father, praising Ur holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. Grateful for the gift of life.

Father, as many have begun another blessed morning that was not promised, they sing praises to U, despite their circumstances.  They know that all things are possible with U; therefore, they openly praise Ur holy name.  When they were down and out, U lifted them higher than the highest mountains.  When they faulted themselves for mishaps beyond their control, U provided them with peace and solitude.  When they believed that their second chances had ended, U allowed them the fortitude to rise and represent U in all that they do and think.

Father, help all to understand that U are the answer to all problems, darkness, disappointments, failures, setbacks, and heartbreaks.  Help them to understand that U have all the power and authority over all situations.  Therefore, they freely give their burdens to U, for U indeed are Almighty, Alpha and Omega, and continuously protect them with Ur armor and shield, adorn them with  the breastplate of righteousness, and allow all of their darkness to turn to light.  

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

GOD’S PRESENCE

Father, praising Ur holy name for another blessed morning in Christ.  Grateful for Ur unconditional love. 

Father,  as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they thank U for another day to get it right.  They continue to examine themselves to determine their shortcomings, as well as to repent of their sins.  They know that it is only because of Ur grace that they are given second chances, and they vow to honor U in words and deeds.  They know that temptation comes and goes, but Ur holiness remains constant and is more powerful than anything or anyone on earth. 

Father, help all to stand tall and firm as they fight their temptations, self-afflictions, and all things they have no control over.  Help all to understand that U will always be present to protect, direct, guide, and bring peace beyond understanding. 

“You will make known to me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.” Psalm 16:11

WHERE DO YOU STAND SPIRITUALLY?

Father, praising Ur holy name for another blessed morning in Christ Grateful for another opportunity to hear Ur holy word!

Father, as many have awakened to another day that was not promised, they sing praises to U for another opportunity to worship U in spirit and in truth. They know that there have been numerous times that they have succumbed to what pleased their flesh instead of their spirit; therefore, they cling closely to U to maintain their desire to stay on the path of righteousness.  They understand that life’s journey may result in them being continuously pulled into worldliness and pleasing the flesh; however, they remain positive and focused on the path that leads to the straight and narrow.  

Father, help all to honestly evaluate themselves to understand their relationship with U, through Ur Son Jesus Christ. Help them to know that their focus should never be on what man thinks about them, but it should be based on what U, through Ur Son Jesus Christ, know about them. 

“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

WHO YOU ARE WORSHIPPING?

Father, praising Ur holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. Grateful for Ur grace and mercy.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to U for another opportunity to get it right.  Although they know Ur holy word, as well as Ur holy powers, they continue to do that which pleases the flesh instead of that which pleases the spirit. In some ways, it is as if many continuously take advantage of Ur agape love as well as Ur faithfulness.  Maybe because many are dumbfounded about who they think they are worshipping and who they truly are worshipping.

Father, help all to learn to distinguish between truth and trickery, love and covetousness, as well as intentions and mishaps. Help them to realize that Satan comes into their lives through many facets. Therefore, on a daily basis, remain prayed-up for discernment, guidance, and protection.

 “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.”
Exodus 20:2-6

BEING TRUE TO SELF AT ALL TIMES

Father, praising Ur holy name for another blessed morning in Christ. Grateful for Ur unconditional love.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they continue to trust in U for all things.  Despite the tactics of Satan, they push forward knowing that U will never forsake them.  They know that as long as they keep you first, they have nothing to fear, for all things will work out in accordance with Ur plans for them.  They discontinue their worries about what others are doing and/or are speaking about them, and focus on shedding light to the world as to who they are truly. They pray for those who have to pretend to be someone else in order to be liked or accepted by others.  They pray that they will soon realize that all things that are hidden will be revealed in due time.  

Father, help all to understand that, instead of pretense, focus on purpose and genuineness.  Help them to understand that they can only imitate others for so long, because eventually their true identity will be revealed.  Help all to know that U judge everyone based on what is within, that goes unseen by man, and not that which is perpetrated by the tongue in order to impress man to gain their favor.  

“You can’t keep your true self hidden forever; before long you’ll be exposed. You can’t hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known.” Luke 12:2
