VICTORY IN JESUS

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 pause to say, “Thank You”! It is only because of you that they have been able to push through the darkness that tries to dim their light within. However, because they are aware of the trickery of the devil, they know that such is just a tactic to make them vulnerable to its evil plans to cause discourse in their life.  Therefore, they become closer to you through prayer, studying your holy word; perseverance, and obedience.

Father, help all to understand that your Son, Jesus Christ, has raised a blood-stained banner of victory, a victory ensuring eternal life to those who believe in Him.

“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

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

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.

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 despite their challenges, desolation, happiness, or sadness, your presence brings them the inner peace that is needed when it seems as if their walls are tumbling down.

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

FOCUSING ON TODAY

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

Because of you, through your Son Jesus Christ, they have been forgiven of their sins, healed, restored, and renewed.  They know that it is only by your grace that they have life and have it more abundantly. They know that all things are possible with you. Therefore, they continue to push through their obstacles, fears, sadness, heartaches, pain, and desolation to better focus on their blessings.

Father, help all to understand that you are the answer to all their problems, worries, and needs.  Help all to realize that you, through your Son Jesus Christ, are always present in their midst.  Therefore, do not dwell on yesterday, but focus more on today.

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
