DEAR GOD: Thank You For Your Call Of Grace This New Day~

What is the first thing you do when you open your eyes after a nights’ sleep?  And what is the first thing that comes to mind when you open your eyes after a nights’ sleep?  And then – afterwards – what is the first thing you do? I mean besides perhaps visiting the “tinkle” room (LOL). Think long and hard – or quickly to these questions.

Now hopefully, many of you answered that you “praise God” and give a huge hearty thanks for His grace and His protection throughout the night.  And praise Him for another day. Another day to love Him, serve Him and invariably “work all things for Him” and Him alone!   And of course – read scripture from His Holy Book.  Because even “one scripture to meditate upon – is better than none at all. Amen!

You see as Christians, and God’s children- we all need to be prepared for what comes our way.  Our Father knows the overall picture. He sees things we cannot see. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, and His mercy and strength far exceed anything or anyone here or anywhere in this universe.  How do we prepare for what comes? What do we do each day while here on earth? Well, you might consider engaging in the following:

1-Read the Word
2- Put on the full armor of God.
3-Trust in the LORD, always.
4-Stay in communication with Him.
5-Pray.
6-Meditate
7-Honor Him in all you do.
8-Show compassion.
9-Be watchful.
10- Love Him with all your mind heart strength and soul.

When we rise, we don’t just awaken to light—we awaken to purpose. The breath in our lungs is not random; it’s a divine invitation to walk in His will. Scripture reminds us:

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” —Psalm 150:6
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” —Lamentations 3:22–23

Each new day is a sacred assignment. Whether we face joy or trial, we are called to clothe ourselves in His strength:

“Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” —Ephesians 6:11
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” —Proverbs 3:5

We don’t prepare with fear—we prepare with faith. We don’t walk alone—we walk with the One who sees the end from the beginning. His Word is our compass, His Spirit our comfort, and His mercy our shield.

🙏 A Prayer of Thanks from Heart and Soul

O Lord, my God—thank You for the breath in my body and the light in this day. Thank You for watching over me through the night, for shielding me from harm, and for whispering peace into my soul. I rise not in my own strength, but in Yours. I praise You for Your mercy, Your wisdom, and Your unfailing love.

Today, I choose to walk in Your truth. I put on Your armor. I seek Your face. I surrender my plans and embrace Your purpose. Let my words honor You, my actions reflect You, and my heart remain tethered to Yours. May I love You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength—and may I serve You with joy, compassion, and courage.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

Ephesians 6:12-13 -For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

The main idea of the passage is that Christians are engaged in a spiritual war against evil forces, and they need to equip themselves with God’s armor to resist and overcome them.

As Christians, we are not fighting against human enemies, but against powerful and wicked spiritual beings that rule over this dark world. That’s why we need to put on all the armor that God provides us, so that we can stand firm and defend ourselves against their attacks.

  • The word “wrestle” implies that the struggle is intense, close, and personal. It also suggests that the enemy is trying to bring us down and make us fall.
  • The phrase “flesh and blood” refers to human beings, who are not the ultimate source of our problems. The real enemies are the spiritual forces behind them, who influence and manipulate them to oppose God and his people.
  • The terms “rulers”, “authorities”, “powers”, and “spiritual forces of evil” describe different levels and aspects of the demonic hierarchy that operates in the heavenly realms, which are the invisible dimensions of reality where spiritual beings exist.
  • The expression “the full armor of God” refers to the various pieces of equipment that God gives us to protect and empower us in the spiritual war. They are explained in more detail in the following verses (Ephesians 6:14-18)
  • The phrase “the evil day” refers to the time of crisis and temptation that we may face in our lives, when the enemy tries to harm us and make us lose our faith. It could also point to the final day of judgment, when the enemy will be defeated once and for all.
  • The word “stand” is repeated three times in the passage, emphasizing the need to remain steadfast and unshakable in our faith and obedience to God. It also implies that we are not called to attack or advance, but to resist and endure.

Are you fully equipped and armed with the Gospel when you leave your home?  And also while in it? There isn’t anywhere you should be without your full armor on!

“Dear LORD, thank You for Your Word as my protector, my defender, and my iron impenetrable suit of defense, may I always wear it into every battle, and may I wear it in goodness, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
