God Has Already Made A Way For You | A Blessed Morning Prayer

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:03]There are some people who think they're literally chained to some habits, some activities, dare I say some sins even.

[00:00:14]And then there are also things that chase us and won't let us get away without a fight. Family issues, health issues, inner heart and mind issues like worry and stress.

[00:00:28]Everyone on earth is dealing with something.

[00:00:32]Sometimes our reaction is to run away from our problems.

[00:00:37]But no matter how far we run, they always seem to catch up to us.

[00:00:43]Sometimes our reaction is to just give up and let ourselves be enslaved.

[00:00:49]But Jesus Christ offers us a better option.

[00:00:53]Freedom.

[00:00:55]The Bible in John 8:36 says, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

[00:01:07]Furthermore, 2 Corinthians 3:1 17 says, "Now the Lord is the spirit, and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."

[00:01:21]If you call upon the name of Jesus, he will set you free. Not just partially, but completely.

[00:01:30]You can rest from all the hard work and labor you've been doing to get out of the cage you're in.

[00:01:36]With one single word, with one single touch, Jesus Christ can release every shackle and chain that binds you.

[00:01:49]Matthew 11 28-30.

[00:01:53]Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.

[00:02:00]Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.

[00:02:16]Today, if you're feeling weary, it's time to stop searching for answers through your own strength.

[00:02:23]You'll never break free by relying on yourself.

[00:02:27]You need only to trust in Jesus.

[00:02:31]Search for Jesus and you will find freedom.

[00:02:35]Search for Jesus and you will find strength. Search for Jesus and you'll find joy.

[00:02:43]He's nearer than you think.

[00:02:46]Listen to what David said in Psalm 118:5.

[00:02:53]Out of my distress, I called on the Lord. The Lord answered me and set me free. And if you read Galatians 5:1, the Bible says, "For freedom, Christ has set us free.

[00:03:10]Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.

[00:03:18]Now, the problem with us as humans is that at times, even after we've been set free, we can be tempted to go back to our old ways, to the very things that once enslaved us.

[00:03:31]And in those moments, we must stand firm in the word of God.

[00:03:37]When we fully appreciate the direess of the situation he rescued us from and how undeserving we are of that salvation, we become more grateful for the freedom we have.

[00:03:50]First Peter 2:1 16.

[00:03:54]Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover up for evil, but living as servants of God.

[00:04:06]Jesus not only sets us free from something but to something greater.

[00:04:13]Jesus sets us free not simply for us to break that addiction but so that we can go on to become faithful and obedient servants in his kingdom.

[00:04:24]Because of him we are free to proclaim his redeeming work in our lives. We're free to love others as he did and to encourage those around us. We are free to use our gifts and abilities to serve the body of Christ. We are free to accomplish amazing things in his name.

[00:04:46]But before that can happen, we have to lay all our problems at his feet.

[00:04:52]Cry out to him today and he will make your burdens light.

[00:04:59]And now for this next segment, we'd like to share with you the significance of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Beginning with what Ephesians 1:3 says, blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.

[00:05:24]Now, perhaps you may be asking, "What are these spiritual blessings that we've been given in Christ?" Well, if we move on to verse four, we'll find that we're blessed because God has chosen us. The Bible reads, "Just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love."

[00:05:47]Notice something here, saints. It's through Jesus Christ that we are chosen by God. It's in Jesus Christ that we are chosen by God. And it's because of Jesus Christ that we are chosen by God.

[00:06:02]Moving on to Ephesians 1:5, "We're blessed because God has adopted us." The Bible reads, "Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will.

[00:06:19]Though mankind disobeyed God in the very beginning with Adam and Eve and introduced sin into the world, when our Lord Jesus Christ hung on the cross, when he who was without sin was crucified, he took our place as sinners. He literally carried the weight of the world, the sins of every person who would ever live. Jesus Christ paid the price for it all and satisfied God's wrath. And so when Jesus Christ who is the son of God says no one can come to the father except through me he is telling us that he covered our sins. He covered our shame. And through the shedding of his blood, through his sacrifice, we are adopted as children of God when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

[00:07:15]Ephesians 1:es 6 and 7 say, "To the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made us accepted in the beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace.

[00:07:32]Once again the Bible says in him in Christ we have been redeemed. That means that the penalty for our sin was settled on the cross.

[00:07:45]And my final scripture is Ephesians 1:13.

[00:07:49]It reads, "In him you also trusted after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise."

[00:08:04]Dear friends, from these few verses I've read, do you see what God has done for us? He has blessed us. He has chosen us.

[00:08:14]He has adopted us as his children. He has accepted us and redeemed us. And if that wasn't enough, God has gone a step further and sealed us with the Holy Spirit.

[00:08:28]How rich we are in the Lord.

[00:08:32]And so with all that we've learned from Ephesians 1 in mind, let's express our gratitude to God for his loving kindness towards us.

[00:08:43]Dear heavenly father, words fail to express just how grateful we are for your goodness, for your love, and your mercy. Master, your word tells us that you've chosen us. You have called us to come out from the world and be separate. You have called us to live lives that honor you, lives that serve you and please you. So father our prayer today is that you would help us.

[00:09:15]Give us the grace and the strength so that we would not be conformed to this world so that we would not be attached to the superficial values and the customs of this world but help us Lord to be transformed.

[00:09:31]Help us to be changed and renewed in our minds.

[00:09:36]God we thank you for making us your own.

[00:09:39]We hold on to your word in 1 Peter 2:9 where it says, "But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession.

[00:09:55]As a result, you can show others the goodness of God. For he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

[00:10:04]Thank you, God, for being a father to the fatherless.

[00:10:09]Thank you for being our loadbearer, God. If it had not been for you, where would we be?

[00:10:18]We praise you, God, because even in your majesty and your righteousness, you still care for us. You still forgive us time after time, even though we fall time and time again.

[00:10:31]God, we thank you for such mercy.

[00:10:34]And Lord, we pray that the Holy Spirit would put the understanding in our hearts that we can never be victorious in this life if we are not in Christ.

[00:10:46]Matthew 6:4 says, "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other."

[00:10:57]You cannot serve God and mammon, money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord.

[00:11:07]Lord, right now we declare that you alone are our one and only master.

[00:11:14]You are our leader. Indeed, no one can serve two masters at once. Light and darkness do not mix. And so, Father, we choose to stand and follow the light of Christ. We commit to you, Lord Jesus.

[00:11:30]And our honest request is that the Holy Spirit would work within our hearts, that he would work within our minds so that we will have the kind of commitment that says, "Not my will, Lord, but your will is all important."

[00:11:48]Truly, Father, it's not about my wants.

[00:11:51]It's not about my feelings, but it's all about you, Lord Jesus.

[00:11:56]Holy Spirit, give us the kind of heart that's so committed to the Lord that it's willing to crucify the flesh with its passions and desires.

[00:12:09]Help us to carry our cross, Lord Jesus.

[00:12:12]Your word in Matthew 5:6 says, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."

[00:12:22]In you, Father, I will be satisfied.

[00:12:26]In you, King Jesus, I will be nourished by your goodness.

[00:12:34]Father, I pray that the Holy Spirit would help me. I pray that the Holy Ghost would strengthen me, that he would strengthen my faith so that my trust in you, King Jesus, will overcome any physical temptation or emotion. God, make me a believer who is firm and assured that in the end, whatever you ask of me, whatever is required of me by you, Lord, it will work out for my good.

[00:13:02]your word in James 1:es 2-4 it says consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

[00:13:18]Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete not lacking anything.

[00:13:26]Lord Jesus, I desire to reach a level in faith and maturity, where it's a joy to carry my cross and to follow you. I want to reach a stage where it's a joy to chase after righteousness and to crucify my flesh daily. I pray that my love for you, my desire for you will be far greater than anything else in this world.

[00:13:52]I bless your name, King Jesus. I trust and believe that you've heard my prayer.

[00:13:59]God, continue to cultivate a willingness within me and an obedient heart. It's in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

[00:14:14]Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

[00:14:21]Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

[00:14:30]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

[00:14:36]Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.

[00:14:51]just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.

[00:14:58]Notice something here, saints. It's through Jesus Christ that we are chosen by God, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of the glory of his grace by which he made us accepted in the beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace.

[00:15:32]In him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

[00:15:50]But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession.

[00:16:00]As a result, you can show others the goodness of God. For he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

[00:16:13]No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon, money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord.

[00:16:34]The Bible says in Isaiah 53:es 3-5, he was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces, he was despised and we held him in low esteem.

[00:16:52]Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering. Yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions.

[00:17:05]He was crushed for our iniquities.

[00:17:09]The punishment that brought us peace was on him. And by his wounds we are healed.
