As night breaks into
morning, we awake to the needs of a
brand new day. We basically know what we
need to do each day, but we do not know
all that a new day will bring our way.
If we are to be fully prepared for
whatever the day brings, we must consult
the One who sees all and knows
all, the One who gives us strength and
courage, and the One who gives us wisdom
and guidance.
Upon awaking, we
usually get dressed and began to ready
ourselves for the day. While dressing,
we need to be sure to put on our
spiritual clothing too. God instructs us,
in Ephesians 6:ll, to put on His
armor so that we will be prepared for
the battles that we encounter daily.
If we dress ourselves
in God's armor, we will be clothing
ourselves in Jesus and His love. In
turn, Jesus will live through us giving
love, help, and hope to us and to those
whom we are in contact with.
There is no better
way to live than to live in Jesus.
Good Morning
Father,
I come before you this day in thanksgiving for all
that you have done for me and for
all that you have planned for me to
do and enjoy this day. I surrender
my will to you that others may see
Jesus in me.
I
commit myself to your purposes and
will today. Instruct me. Guide me.
Lead me into paths of righteousness
and deliver me from all evil.
I
choose to put on your armor so that
I am protected from the onslaught of
the devil and so that other's may
see Jesus in me and know that you
reign in power and might.
I
believe that you will provide for my
every need whether it be courage to
continue on or strength to take the
next step. I am depending on you to
supply my most intimate needs and to
guide me in helping others. I know
that you will cause me to be secure
and keep me safe as I trust in you.
I
commit to cast aside any imagination
or thought that is contrary to your
way or will. I desire to live in
truth this day. I surrender my heart
to you for you to mold me into the
likeness of Jesus.
As I commit to you, Father, place in
my heart your full armor that I will
honor and glorify Jesus in all my
ways, words, and thoughts.
Thank you that I may walk in your
light because of who you are and
what you will do in my life today.
Thank you for saving me and
remaining with me always. Thank you
for the Holy Spirit to instruct and
guide in the ways of Jesus.
In Jesus Name
Amen.
