NO GREATER LOVE

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning.  I’m grateful for your ultimate sacrifice, your Son Jesus Christ, as well as your unconditional love.

Father, thank you for your continued blessings, favor, grace, mercy, and your holy powers. Because of you, they are able to push through their obstacles and follow the path that you have established for them.  Despite their shortcomings, you have never failed them.  Therefore, they praise your holy name daily and continuously pray for your divine protection.  

Father, help all to understand that all goodness comes from you through your Son Jesus Christ. Help them to further understand that there is no greater love on earth than yours and your son.

EDIFY GOD’S HOLY NAME DAILY

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

Father, as many have awakened on this beautiful morning that was not promised, they bow to their knees in prayer and supplication.  They are grateful for second chances.  They understand that today was not promised; therefore, they give you all the praise as they rise from their bed with the ability to see, smell, feel, hear, and taste. Father, help all to remain steadfast and focused on those things which edify your holy name through your Son Jesus Christ.  In addition, help all to call on your holy name when they feel that they can no longer fight their daily battles, for you have all the power to help them to withstand the wiles of the devil.

“And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” 
Acts 20:32

A CHANGED MINDSET

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they praise your holy name for this blessed day that was not promised.  Because of you, they have another opportunity to turn their wrongs to rights; hatred to love; envy to confidence; and competition to harmony.  

Father, help all to pray for a changed mindset to see, think, and feel positivity in whomever they come in contact with.  Help them to allow their own presence to be an encouragement to everyone they come in contact with to love their neighbors and worship you in spirit and in truth.

“The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.”  Romans 8:6

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”  Isaiah 26:3

EXAMINING YOURSELF

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

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they sing praises to you for your continued blessings. They know that if it was not for your love, they would not have made it through their most trying moments. Therefore, they take out the necessary time to examine themselves in accordance with your teachings within your holy word.

Father, help all to examine themselves daily to determine their own shortcomings, to repent of such, and pray to you through your Son Jesus Christ for your forgiveness, protection, and direction.  Moreover, help them to understand that your holy word will guide them through all the obstacles they encounter in their life.

“Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you fail to meet the test!” 2 Corinthians 13:5

GOD’S NEVER CHANGING PURPOSE

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ. I’m grateful for your continued protection and guidance.

Father, as many have begun their morning journey, they smile because you have granted them this day to grace this earth to have a positive impact on someone’s life.  Despite what it may take, they are confident that this will be done.  They understand that you will guide, keep, and trust them throughout this day and many more to come. Therefore, they press forward, despite their shortcomings, circumstances, pain, happiness, peace, and/or heartaches, to the path that you have established for them.  

Father, help all to realize that life is full of ups and downs, happiness, and sadness. However, your love and purpose will never change. Help all look to you for continued guidance, direction, protection, forgiveness, grace, and mercy.  

“God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?” Numbers 3:19

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

WALKING THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

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

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their morning journey, they shout that they are victorious in all things because of your grace, mercy, and ultimate sacrifice, your Son Jesus Christ!  They push through adversity, knowing that with you, they are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ, and no weapons formed against them will prosper.  They pray through the attacks of Satan, knowing that you are all powerful and you have never forsaken them.  They smile through their spiritual warfare because they are assured that they are on the right path, for Satan does not attack those who belong to him.

Father, help all to keep their faith in you through your Son Jesus Christ for all things.  Help them to understand that there is a greater purpose to all of their experiences in life.  Therefore, continue their faith in you and walk the path that you have established for them.  

“The steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.” Psalm 37:23-24

GOD’S PURPOSE IS GREATER THAN YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Father, praise your holy name for another blessed morning in Christ.  I’m grateful for your presence in my life.

Father,  as many have awakened and are on their morning journey,  they pause to pray a prayer of thankfulness.  They know that if it was not for your presence in their lives, they could not have made it to witness this blessed day.  They thought that they had been defeated by adversaries; however, you showed up and showed out.  They now truly understand that your timing is indeed perfect and complete.  In addition, they understand that many claim that they have faith when they feel as if they can control the situation; however, when they have no control, their alleged faith dissipates.  

Father, help all who have learned the hard way to realize that not so good experiences occur for reasons beyond their understanding. However, when they depend upon you, it all will be revealed.  Therefore, hold on to your unchanging hands, knowing that you will see them through and reveal what you have purposed for them.  

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20 NLT

THANKFULNESS ON RESURRECTION DAY!

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed Resurrection Day! I’m grateful for your gift of second chances through your son, Jesus Christ.

Father, as many have awakened and are beginning their day with praise and worship, they bow to thank you for your ultimate sacrifice.  They know that it is only because of Christ’s resurrection that they have life and can live more abundantly. Despite their iniquities, your love for them is never-ending.

Father, help all to take time to evaluate themselves and align themselves in accordance with your holy word.  Help them to know that because of you, through your Son Jesus Christ, we are forgiven of our sins, renewed, and restored.  

Father, help all to understand that it is only because of you through your Son Jesus Christ, that we can smile despite our pain, agony, depression, sadness, heartache, sickness, and/or the death of loved ones.  We know that in the end we will reunite with them in heaven.

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.” 1 Peter 1:3-5

CLINGING CLOSELY TO GOD

Father, praise your holy name for this blessed morning in Christ.  I am grateful for another opportunity to get it right.

Father, as many have awakened and have begun their morning journey, they pause to say, “Thank You”! They understand that all things are possible with you. When they were down and out, you continuously provided away for them to be lifted up from a state of depression to cheerfulness. When they thought that they were alone, you comforted them and reminded them that you are always in their midst.  When they were about to give up, you showed them that you always answer prayers at the right time. 

Father, help all to realize that nothing in life is perfect, but your love makes up for all imperfections in this world.  Help all to cling closely to you throughout their trials and triumphs because you will never foresake them.

“For if you are careful to keep all of this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and cling to Him, then the Lord will dispossess all these nations from you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.” Deuteronomy 11:22-23 NASB
