GOD UPHOLDS THE RIGHTEOUS

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 pray a prayer of thankfulness. They understand that all things are possible with you.  Therefore, instead of giving up, they push through adversity, fear, and confusion and depend upon you for all things.  Despite the challenges that they face, they continue to walk the path that you have established for them. They know, without a doubt, that no weapons formed against them will prosper.

Father, help all to understand the importance of having a genuine relationship with you, through your Son, Jesus Christ.  Help all to a call on your holy name, through your Son Jesus Christ, and allow you to guide them through their darkness and ultimately to the path that leads to eternity.

“Better the little that the righteous have than the wealth of many wicked; for the power of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Psalm 37:16-17

BEING MINDFUL OF OTHERS

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

Father, as many have awakened, by your grace, they smile with gratefulness.  They know that it is only by your grace and mercy that they are able to witness this beautiful day! Despite their shortcomings, they are able to turn wrongs into rights, hate to love, and faithlessness to faithfulness. 

Father, help all to understand that they should live today like there is no tomorrow and in alignment with your holy word. Help all to focus on the end result of all that they do and say. Help them to understand that apologies after continuous hurt and pain eventually become death to the ear.  Therefore, be mindful to always treat others like or better than they would want to be treated.
~Philippians 2:3

WHAT GOD HAS PURPOSED

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 pray a prayer of thanksgiving. They know that it is only because of you through your Son Jesus Christ that they have life this morning.  

Therefore, they continue to cling to you daily.  Instead of pleasing man, they aim to please you through your Son Jesus Christ.  

Father, help all to realize that life is full of challenges. However, those challenges are what keeps them grounded in understanding that it is not about self, but it’s about what you, through his Son Jesus Christ, has purposed for their life.

Father, help all to cling closely to you, through your son, Jesus Christ, during the good and the bad. Help them to understand that all happiness is derived from you through your Son Jesus Christ. Therefore, they must depend upon you both for their needs, wants, and blessings.

THE BUILDING OF ONE’S CHARACTER

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you through your Son, Jesus Christ.  Despite the tactics of the devil, they continue to push through obstacles that sometimes cause a depletion in their happiness and/or livelihood.  However, they are reminded that in life, they will have challenges, twists and turns, as well as ups and downs; however, you continue to bring them through it all with lessons learned that will further build their character and their dependence on you.  Although nothing in life is guaranteed, despite the promises of man, all things are possible with you through your Son Jesus Christ.

Father, help all to understand that no one on earth is perfect; therefore, continue to put all their trust in you for guidance, direction, protection, and discernment.

“And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now, hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:1-6

GOD IS THE MOST RELIABLE SOURCE!

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

Father, as many have been blessed to witness another day that was not promised, they pause to give you all the glory for your unconditional love.  They know that if it wasn’t for you, they would not have the mindset that they have at this very moment. Instead of worrying about what tomorrow may bring, they focus on living life fearlessly and abundantly. They know that the key to their livelihood is depending upon you through your Son Jesus Christ for all things.  

Father, help all to know that you are almighty, the beginning and the end, shelter in the time of a storm, helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, protector, guide, director, overseer and is ever present.

Help all to learn to examine themselves daily to determine who and whose they are.  In addition, help them to understand that despite what may come against them, you will always be their one and only source of peace, love, happiness, grace, and mercy.

FOCUS ON BEING A GOOD STEWARD

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they smile because you, through your Son Jesus Christ, have granted them another day to encourage, uplift, and share your holy word. Despite the challenges in life, they focus on ensuring that they are not only talking about your blessings but also being a good steward to you through Christ and to man.  

Father, help all to be good stewards, as David. “David poured the water out on the ground as a sacrifice to the Lord. Likewise, we are to take the priceless gifts that God has given us and pour them out as a sacrifice in service to him and to our fellow man.”

Father, help all to be compassionate, content, generous, grateful, loving,   loyal, obedient, and prayerful.

“For to everyone who has more will be given, and he will have in abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” Matthew 25:29.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE ONE INTERACTION AT A TIME

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 pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness.  They know that despite their sins, you continue to bless them beyond measure. Therefore, they pray that they are able to evaluate themselves in accordance with your holy word and not according to pride, wealth, poorness, praise, position, title, stature, reputation, attire, or worldly possessions.  

Father, help all to understand that pleasing you through your Son Jesus Christ should be of the utmost importance. Although no person on earth is perfect or near perfect, as they aim to do and live better, such actions eventually become contagious.  Help all to understand that although they cannot eradicate hate, prejudice, discrimination, jealousy, envy, and covetousness worldwide, they can at least start making a difference in their daily interactions with those whom they come in contact with, by being an example of loving their neighbors as they love themselves.

“For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love, serve one another.  For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  But if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another.”
Ephesians 4:13-15

REST ASSURED IN GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they sing praises to you. They know that you came, that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Therefore, they cling to your unchanging hands. They rest assured that you, through your Son, Jesus Christ, will always be present to protect, direct, guide, lead, and love. They know that it is only because of your love that they will one day inherit the mansion, robe, and crown that awaits them.  

Father, help all to know that you are love, and if they love you, whom they have not seen, they should be able to love those who they see daily.

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments, hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:36-40

“Truly, my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly, he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress. I will never be shaken.” Psalm 62:1-2
