Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Colossians 3:13

Morning Jesus!
I slept wonderful and You woke me this morning ready to hit the day. I love it when my first thoughts are of You, welcoming me into Your presence once again.

Jesus, please help me to remember what You went through to forgive me of my sins, my faults, and shortcomings. Sometimes I feel so special because I have You for my LORD. That’s an arrogant and prideful attitude, please forgive me. Help me to remember that others are just as important to You as I may be. Help me to remember my faults and when I see those same faults in other, that I need forgive them, as You have forgiven me. Help me please to forgive others when I feel offended. Most of all help me try hard to not offend others.

I can’t do this by myself, Jesus, I thank You Spirit, for being my guide and teacher. I trust You to nudge me back onto Your path when I loose my way. I trust You with my life.

I love You!
Amen

I will give the land to your little ones—your innocent children. You were afraid they would be captured, but they will be the ones who occupy it.
Deuteronomy 1:39

Good Morning Father,
It was kind of hard to get out of bed this morning. I thank You for being patient with me and encouraging me to get up, so I can spend this time with You. You are such my wonderful God!

As Your little ones come to Vacation Bible School this summer, I thank You for each one and ask that You will be with them, give them courage to come and a heart to know You. Let them see the love in the eyes of their teachers and know it’s Yours.

I thank You Father, for the innocence of these children. They are so eager to learn and quick to share. Please help them to never loose their passion for You.

As they are the future of Your church, LORD, I will trust You to teach them to love and grow in Your presence. You are the Master Teacher, You will always be ready to guide them through their lives.

I ask also that You would surround all the teachers and helpers with Your presence. They will need you desperately as they present You to the children. Give them words and wisdom to share, give them peace to know that You are with them.
Amen

Search for the Lord and for His strength; continually seek Him.
1 Chronicles 16:11

Good Morning Abba,
Each morning I get up and want to praise You for being my LORD. My words fail me. They seem so simple, yet my heart is completely full. I am glad that You know my heart and You, Spirit, can groan my praises in words that I don’t even understand. Thank You!

I need Your strength for this day. Even if it’s an easy day, I need Your strength. I can’t get through my challenges without You. I am so blessed to have You as my guide.

I like the word ‘seek’ Father. It means I have to actively look for You. I need to open my eyes to see where You are.

So I ask that today You will give me Your Spiritual eyes and ears, so I can see You glory.
Amen

Those who know Your name trust in You, for You, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for You.
Psalm 9:10

Good Morning My LORD,
Thank You for waking me this morning. I slept restless and still a bit tired, but I know I will have the strength to move through this day, because You are right beside me. It will be on Your power that I complete all that I need to. Thank You for being right here with me now.

How wonderful Your name is, Yahweh. I am blessed beyond words to know You. You have honored me by calling me Your child. I will trust in You today.

But, Father, sometimes it’s hard to trust. I think I always know what’s best. There are times I wonder if You aren’t aware of my needs. Please forgive me, Father. You are God and always know what is best for me. Help me with trusting You today.

I also want to thank You for never giving up on me. You have promised me that You will never leave or forsake me and that gives me such peace.

When I forget to trust, I know You will be there helping me to know You better. I will always be able to find You.

Thank You Father for being with me this morning. Please help me to walk with You throughout this day!
Amen

Then Asa cried out to the Lord his God, “O Lord, no one but You can help the powerless against the mighty! Help us, O Lord our God, for we trust in You alone. It is in Your name that we have come against this vast horde. O Lord, You are our God; do not let mere men prevail against you!”
2 Chronicles 14:11

Good Morning Yahweh!
It’s wonderful to be with You this morning. To drink from Your Word and let Your Spirit guide my understanding. You are my amazing and wonderful God!

Your Word this morning reminds me that people throughout the centuries have called upon Your Name in all sorts of circumstances. We have called out and You have protected and supplied all we need.

I’m reminded that I am powerless without Your presence. If I were truthful, I would acknowledge that I need You from moment to moment. Not just here and there.

I’m reminded that You are delighted to help me in my daily life and desire to be with me throughout each day.

What I really noticed about today’s verse is, I need and want to trust in You alone. There is no other that can help me. There is no other I want to live with. You ,O LORD, You are my God and I am so blessed.
Amen

“But you are my witnesses, O Israel!” says the LORD. “You are my servant. You have been chosen to know Me, believe in Me, and understand that I alone AM God. There is no other God— there never has been, and there never will be.
Isaiah 43:10

Good Morning Abba,
You are so wonderful and amazing. My words cannot even begin to give You the glory You deserve. I continually hurt You, yet, You are always calling me back into Your loving and strong arms.

You have called me to be Your servant and witness to this broken world. I do not understand why You choose me or why You wanted to reveal Yourself to me, but I am so humbled that You have spoken my name.

Father, I want to know You more, to believe in You for every aspect of my life and to make You alone my God. You are so unique, I know there will never be another like You. You are the Beginning and the End. The Alpha and Omega. I will love You with my life, since my words are so inadequate. Thank You for being My God!
Amen

When Jesus saw his mother standing there beside the disciple he loved, he said to her, “Dear woman, here is your son.” And he said to this disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from then on this disciple took her into his home.
John 19:26-27

Good Morning My Jesus,
I know I say this often, but You always amaze me. You take care of all my needs, some even before I ask! You give me the best, even though I really don’t deserve it. You love me even when I don’t give You the time of the day, and for that, please forgive me.

Jesus, I love You so very much. Your Spirit surrounds me every moment, molding me to be the best I can be. You also surround me with an awesome family and wonderful friends. I thank You for that, my LORD. Even as You took care of Your own mother and disciples, You designed the greater family for me to grow with.

Please be with them, LORD, keep them close to Your heart. Again, I praise You for placing them around me.

I love You, Jesus!
Amen

Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.
Colossians 4:5-6

Good Morning Jesus,
How blessed I am to have You as my LORD and Savior. To think that You want also to be my friend and have a relationship with me, boggles my mind but makes my heart happy.

I know this time with You is very important, I’m coming to learn it’s when You are teaching me Your ways. It’s my one on one time to learn and prepare for the day.

Your Word this morning reminds me I need to be wise when I am with non believers. You want to love them through me, so they will come to know You. You also want me to make every moment an opportunity to speak about Your presence in my life. You want me to be wise in my words.

It seems like that’s way to much for me to be able to do, Jesus. I know I can’t do it all, but You, Spirit, will guide and counsel me this day. I can have the victory that You claimed if I will only trust in You.
Amen

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
Psalm 139:13-14

Good Morning Abba,
What a wonderful day it is, because You are my LORD and the love of my life. If nothing special happens today, it will still be an awesome day, because I know You are with me and that is special enough!

I sometimes have a hard time, Father, to remember that I am Your workmanship. I feel like I’ve let You down so many times. I know I break Your heart and bring sadness to Your soul. Please forgive and remind me often today that I am special in Your eyes. Your fingerprints are all over me and for that alone I should know I’m special.

When I think of how You did make me, how all my parts work together, I know You have to be the Creator. Man could never do something so intricate.

You gave me my personality and desires. You have place a passion in my heart to know You. You have done all this so I can be here with You right now.

Today, I will remember that You have created me and I am loved by You.
Amen

For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.
Zephaniah 3:17

Good Morning My Love,
What a delightful way to start this day. To know that You are waiting for me gives my heart such joy and peace. You are beyond all my expectations and I love You!

You are my Mighty Savior. You have claimed me as Yours, Your hand is upon my life. I want so much to shine Your love to those I meet today. I want to bring You joy, as You live within me.

To think that the God of the Universe can take delight in me is amazing. I am so humbled Father, that You would take the time to mold me. You calm me with Your love whenever I’m afraid. You remind me often that fear is not of You and if I come close to You, Your presence will wipe away my fears.

As I sing Your praises today my LORD, my heart dances with joy to know that you are also rejoicing with song over me! I love You so very much!
Amen
