Morning devotional (Day 8)

It's easy to become frustrated, or rushed in the morning, but praying to God first thing in the morning gives us peace and allows us to better approach each day.

When we start each day seeking God's kindness, we are much more resistant to the temptation to sin! Early in the morning, before you start your day, is a great time to spend some time with God.

He cares about us more than we notice, and the time we spend with him is more significant and useful than most people realize.

Prayer:

I am grateful to you, Lord, for extending this day for me, my family, and loved ones. I am grateful for your ultimate gift of love for me, which came in the form of your son and his willingness to give his life for me.

I humbly submit to you because of this incredible gift that I often don't comprehend. I understand that as a mere human, I am incapable of instructing you; however, you, Lord, are capable of instructing me.

So teach me your ways so that I can trust your loyalty. On this holiest of days, we thank you for protecting us, healing us, and providing us with everything we require.

This day is dedicated to you, into your hands and i ask that you open my hearts to your love. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus. "Alleluia."

God reveals in order to redeem

The enemy you know is less persuasive than the enemy you don’t know. In most cases, God displays himself to us in dreams or in visions. So whenever God discloses it to you. He is warning you to take a step and to act upon what he revealed. One thing you should perceive is that your enemy is not your neighbor, sister, colleagues, etc. We only have one enemy, which is the devil. Satan is very manipulative and if you aren’t prayerful enough, you’ll end up falling in to his traps. The day you’ll understand, you’ll avoid despising them.

How to depend on Jesus

The things of this world cannot fill the empty space within us; only Christ can complete us. This embodies for us that we need Jesus more than anything else on this planet. God did not put us here to rely on ourselves, but to rely on him for everything. We can't survive without him, which is why the Bible cautions us not to rely on our own understanding, because our understanding can fail us and our hearts can lead us astray. Physically, we may appear to be capable of doing things on our own, but on the inside, we are slowly dying. I don’t know about you, but if you haven't yet accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, it’s not too late. The Bible encourages us in Jeremiah 33:3 that if we call on God, he will answer us and tell us things we don't know. God is waiting for your call today. He is waiting for you to come to him and ask him to show you the way. Here is a short prayer to seek God: Heavenly Father, please forgive me for all of my transgressions against

How do we allow our past to not define us

Even if you don't have everything together, rest certain that God sees you as his priceless possession. Your past does not define who you are today. In actuality, from a spiritual viewpoint, who you are today is not determined by your past. It might affect your thoughts, but it doesn't make you who you are. God proclaims our true identity: that we are made in His likeness and in His image, reflecting both the male and female facets of God (according to Genesis 1:26-27).
