A Blessing to Begin the Day
Great day KINGS KIDS, may the blessings and favor of GOD cover everyone throughout this day…
Beginning the Day with Thankfulness
As Children of THE KING, even as we prepare to thank GOD each morning, we recognize that the enemy may try to place problems or concerns in our minds to distract us. Yet our focus remains on THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, who prepares to cover us with the grace and mercy of GOD each day, guiding us through everything we will face.
Prepared by the Example of CHRIST
Now as KINGS KIDS, as we prepare to face whatever may come, we remember how GOD prepared THE LORD JESUS CHRIST for the cross—through the sharing of the Passover supper and the washing of the disciples’ feet on this Maundy Thursday. This prepares us to listen for THE HOLY SPIRIT, who reminds us that GOD has already prepared blessings that will come from every situation we encounter.
Prepared Through the Promise of the Cross
And as Children of THE KING, even as we prepare for Good Friday, we can trust GOD to guide us without fear. And through what THE LORD JESUS CHRIST endured, we have been prepared to receive strength from THE HOLY SPIRIT, enabling us to remain on the path GOD has prepared for us and to endure every trial… battle… or storm we face knowing that HE will bring us through them to victory.
Prepared to Walk in Love and Humility
So as KINGS KIDS, on this Maundy Thursday, we are prepared to give thanks to GOD throughout the day. And following the example of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, we are also prepared to walk in humility and love, sharing that love with others. So, through THE HOLY SPIRIT, we will be given the power and courage to stand strong, even when unexpected challenges arise, and continue to let GOD’S light shine through us.
Prepared in GOD’S Presence
And as Children of THE KING, on a day when we may need extra encouragement, we prepare ourselves by spending time in the presence of GOD. And as the love of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST fills our hearts, we become prepared for whatever may come. And through THE HOLY SPIRIT, we will receive confidence that GOD is working everything out and preparing us for the victory ahead.
Remember as KINGS KIDS
Even if we are prepared or unprepared for whatever is going on, GOD is always in control. So, through faith in THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, we will be prepared to stand without losing hope. And THE HOLY SPIRIT will remind us that because GOD has prepared us for every battle, we can give HIM glory, praise, and thanks as we wait for the victory that is coming.
Prayer for the Royal Family of KINGS KIDS
So, as we send out prayers for The Entire Royal Family of KINGS KIDS to be kept in the care of THE HOLY SPIRIT, we also pray for peace… strength… comfort… healing… and wisdom to be received by all.
GOD bless…
