Prayer
My heart, like Yours, is faint with love. No one can speak to me like You do. Your words melt all my resistance, all my fear. I taste Your Word. I eat Your Word and know You are good. I hear sweet whispers in my ears as You drip them over my life. Your oil softens my heart and I give You praise. There is none like You in the whole earth.
I am so excited about the many surprises come showered down in gifts of love from You to me. My heart falls at Your feet in adoration, adoration for the One who is never disappointed in me, the One who always encourages me. When Your correction comes it is so enveloped in a honey like love I never dismay or feel chastised. I am softened in Your presence today. I breathe deeply of the atmosphere of heaven for You are near, always near. Yes, You are here. I will not turn You away.
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for taking my eyes off of You and the might of Your name. Help me to readjust my focus and place it with a fixed gaze on You. You go before me to make a way where there is no way. I take my thoughts captive and refuse to listen to the lies of the enemy meant to rob my faith. He is a liar and the father of all lies. You are the truth, the light and the life.
Come and scatter my enemies. Route them out from wherever they hide. Expose every scheme and plan. My trust is not in the arms of my flesh. It is in You. Invade my life, my heart and my mind with Your light. I take comfort in Your abiding presence. There is nowhere to go from Your presence and I am grateful. I shout Your name and I am saved. I receive the light of the Lord and I am changed. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I embrace the destiny of the moment, the destiny of this day. Each day is a building block and a door to tomorrow’s destiny. Each day is interlinked, intertwined with purpose, connecting one to the other. What I do with today affects tomorrow. Touch every portion of my life and heal every partially developed place in my person, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Help me to grow up in areas where I may have been wounded or simply not understood how to be.
I come into Your courts with thanksgiving and praise all the while shouting agreement with Your Word. I am changed. I am loved by the Most High. I am created in the image of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I am in Him and He is in me. I am good in the eyes of my Father in Heaven. I am good.
As I confess the Word of the Lord, mourning is transformed into joy and ashes become beauty. Eden is blooming. My life is becoming the garden it was always intended to be and reflecting like a beautiful pool the glory of the Lord. I declare the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I release thanksgiving and praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. There is no other worthy of such praise. My life is now overshadowed by abiding, agreement, thanksgiving and praise. As He is, I am. Amen
Prayer
Lord, please continue to pour Yourself with abundance in and through my life, for my heart belongs to You and You alone. Jesus, I come and abide under the shadow of Your wings and I bless You with the kisses of my Words of love and adoration. I adore You, my King…my Most Lovely One. You are my heart’s desire and I adore you.
May my heart grow in understanding and revelation until all is made new. Grow me and guide me on the path You’ve set before me. I am so thankful for Your everlasting love which draws me…woo me into intimate times with You. I can’t express the gratitude I have during for the times when Your love refreshes and strengthens me. Your love poured out is water for the dry and weary places. Your love poured causes me to rejoice in all things.
Lord, my time with You fills me with such joy and knowledge. May I always speak Your truth over my life and the lives of others. Show me what to bind in my life that is not of You and to fill it with what Your word says about me. I choose not to live my life according to my feelings because they are deceiving at times and do not line up with the Word.
Help me to be patient and stand firm in speaking Your Word and walking obedience to it out of love and devotion…not out of obligation. Your Word will never cease to produce what You have ordained it to do. Your Word in my heart will not return void. I choose and declare I will not dwell on any thoughts that are not of You or the truth of Your word because in time these ungodly thoughts will become action. Every action and thought are seeds which produce fruit. Holy Spirit, show me any bad seed I have planted which has resulted or will result in bad fruit and wrong beliefs. Forgive me when I don’t wash myself daily with Your Word. Draw me into Your Word daily so that I am continually renewing my mind with Your truth and not the feelings and thoughts of this world. Amen
Prayer
Yes, all My time belongs to You. There is no other more worthy than you. Thank you for taking my times of contemplation and quietness and multiplying them for Kingdom purposes. I refuse to give into worry or fear. I surrender the little anxieties of my heart. You, who formed the worlds and hold them together by Your great power, can take care of my small world, even to the minutest details in the lives of those I love. You are my ever present help.
Most of all, You are my all consuming passion. I give myself wholly to You. I receive Your regenerating move in my life and my wine skin is being made new. New wine is flowing into my heart and mind. I am renewed in You. I am a new creature made to display manifestations of Your glory in the earth. All is made perfect in Your loving care. Amen
Prayer
I am the sheep of Your hand, the sheep of Your pasture. I do not wander or move out from the protections of Your goodness and mercy. I receive them in all their fullness in my life. Your goodness gives me the best I could ever possibly hope for. Mercy surrounds me, follows me all the days of my life. How awesome to know it blesses You so much to see me succeed, to walk in the paths You have made for me. I am blessed by Your great care for me. Bountiful blessings fill my heart and it overflows with expectation and hope. The very mercy and goodness which follows You and is given to me, I give to others. Help me to always be sensitive to You and to others. Mercy and goodness will be left behind everywhere I go and in everything I do. Amen
Prayer
Clouds are gathering and I can smell rain, refreshing, life changing rain. My land is not forsaken or abandoned. It is a fruitful garden tended by my Master Gardener. My heart explodes with faith and hope. Hope in You will never disappoint. Seeds once dormant, planted from promises long ago forgotten are now resurrected by Your tender care. You fertilize me with miracle growing power and make me a Miracle. I look to the horizon and I see the coming rain. Yes I feel it touch my skin like sweet kisses. It is beginning to rain.
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for finding fault with others and excusing my own behavior in any way. I eat from the tree of life and not from the tree of good and evil. Your Word is clear about who I deal with and it is not flesh and blood. This is so hard at times to understand when onslaughts come. Regardless, I choose to believe You and stand in the fray to do battle on the behalf of others instead of being critical and judgmental.
Apply healing oils to my heart. Let them seep to the inner most places and bring complete restoration to every area of my heart and mind . . . even to the deepest most subconscious level. I forgive and call myself a forgiver. I forgive as I am forgiven. I refuse to store up stones for a future day. Remove the log from my eye that I may see the speck in my brother’s eye with a heart of love and forgiving grace. I will not be an advocate of the enemy against anyone. All things are possible with You and I receive the fullness of possibility today. Amen
Prayer
Lord, like a piece of an intricate puzzle, I am made to fit with You in a precise and necessary way. You have made me to fill a vital place in the Kingdom. Many times I have not seen this and devalued who I am and who you called me to be. I have at times been gloomy or depressed about where my life is going or what affect it is having on those around me. Frankly, at times I have wondered if I really mattered. In doing this, my focus has been on me and not on beholding You and the truth of Your Word.
Please forgive me for being so self-introspective and losing sight and exchanging Your heavenly perspective for an earthly, natural one. Help me to see how important I am to those around me and let it motivate my heart to behold You with a heart of faith. Come and set me free to love and be loved. Draw me into intimacy hence unknown to me. Change every misconception about what and who You have called me to be. I draw into You and I am changed. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I come into Your presence with a heart full of humility, expectation and anticipation for what You are doing and going to do. I abandon all thoughts of unworthiness, self-pity and pride. To know who I am in You is not pride—it is being in agreement with You and not the words or actions of men. I stand up and take my position, for You have seated me in heavenly places. Open my heart to see and hear all the things You have planned for me before the foundations of the world.
Every moment of my life is cherished by You and You are redeeming all my lost and wasted time as I enter into Your rest. Teach me to enjoy You, to enjoy life and receive the many tender mercies of Your heart. I walk in the finished work of the Cross. I am Your resting place. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I cry out to You for a heart like David. I long to desire You as the most important necessity of my life. I long to pant after You as the deer pants for a brook of water. Captivate my heart and let me not love or look to another. Past circumstances or failure have not one bit of relevance when it comes to how You feel about me. Open my eyes to see You as I gaze upon the beauty of Your Word—as I reflect on the loveliness of Your name. You are sweeter than the honeycomb and stronger than bands of steel. Your name and Your love endure forever. And I am in You, therefore, I endure forever. I put on the cloak of humility and yet I walk as king and priest.
I come into the garden of our relationship and pick fresh flowers every day. I feed on the manna of Your Word morning by morning, evening by evening. I taste and see that You are good. As I draw from Your presence I am a fresh bouquet of flowers dispensing Your fragrance everywhere I go and in everything I do. I let go of the memories I hold on to in favor of fresh revelation and truth. I learn from the lessons of the past and they enable me to succeed with humility in the moment and the days to come. I discard all old flowers and manna to walk in the garden with You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, how wonderful to discover the principle of growing in grace. Realizing grace is a place of growth and not a “to do” list sets me free. Freedom to grow makes way for freedom to make mistakes without condemnation. What a beautiful thing Your grace is. It is living…breathing and full of life…Your life. How astonishing to know every moment has a morning; therefore, mercy is forever new. It does not just come with the literal dawn of a new day though it is new every morning. Every beat of Your heart makes way for more grace…more mercy…and more love.
I declare I am one who walks in all things new all the time. Old things have passed away and all things are becoming new. Are is a present tense word…an active word. Therefore, all things have become new and continue to become new. This makes me want to shout, for I am not the same today as I was yesterday. I declare the person I am has grown in grace and will continue to grow. As a result of growing in grace, I am growing in purity, love, contentment, and trust. The words of my mouth are lining up with the Word of Your mouth. I am perfect as You are perfect. The Perfected One…The Christ lives in me and I am blessed with favor, goodness, mercy, kindness, and faithfulness. I am blessed with the full character of the Lord. The Lord’s capacity to forgive, accommodate and love people in spite of their deeds is in me. I love and act as He loves and acts.
I declare I am one who is full of elegance, loveliness, beauty, decency, favor, mercy, blessing, thanksgiving…full of dignity, honor and benevolence. I am full of the Lord and all He is. I am free from sin through repentance to God. Not only do I experience grace, but I live in a state of continual grace for the Lord of grace abides in me with great mercy. Grace is even now making way for me to rejoice in the midst of my mistakes…in the middle of my failings. Therefore, I come with eyes wide open. I come without any blindfold or covering of any kind over my face. Instead, I come with eyes wide open to look at Jesus the author and finisher of my faith. I come to love face to face Love in fields of grace. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I take my place under the banner of Your heart. I rest with confidence in Your ability to keep me and protect me. I dance with uninhibited joy in Your great love for me and I rejoice, for You have overcome. I join with all the angels of Heaven and sing a song of honor and praise. I give my ear to hear You voice. I give my heart to hear Your song. I dance with You. I sing with You and glory fills the earth. Take my hand as I arise to move within the breeze of Your presence . . . as I arise to move as You move and do as You do.
Teach me to rest in the assurance that all things can be done and accomplished under Your banner. No matter what I am in need of, it is there. Sing songs over me and I will listen. Sing songs over me and I will use them to overcome the plans and schemes of the enemy. Your song is my weapon and when I use it, You back me up. You back up Your Word and watch over it to perform it. Today I dance with You, commingle with You within the habitation of Your heart. I am awakened in You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You are the way, the truth and the life…You are my way…my truth and my life. I open my heart up to you without fear…without a single doubt as to Your goodness. I embrace the covering of truth, forgiveness, grace, and mercy all clothed in the love You have given me. I snuggle into the safe and secret places of your heart. I will not be dismayed or afraid. I am secure in You. I know the enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy but You have come to give me life and life abundant. I receive Your kindness which leads me to repentance. You do not bully me, manipulate or intimidate me into change.
Today you are at the door of my heart just like every other day. You never forsake or leave me. Here you are standing at the door with gifts in hand and I choose to receive them…to receive the freedom they afford me…the newness of life they give me.
I declare where I am weak, You are strong in me. My brokenness is made whole in You. I have all the sustenance I need for You are my provider and my provision. Because of this, I am one with much to give and bless others with both physically and spiritually. The hard places in my heart brought on by the experiences and situations of life are now being softened by the oil of Your presence. All the stony places are being exposed and can be removed. I am one who chooses to walk in joy with a rejoicing heart filled with faith and hope. Just because things are hard does not mean You are not good. Every lonely place is filled by Your whispers of love and adoration. My dreams are being manifest with each passing moment as I co-labor with the Lord to bring about the God given desires of my heart.
The Lord is knocking on the door of my heart. He is calling me into His presence to dine with Him in the secret place known only to us. I am responding right now to the calling of my name. I choose to enter into intimacy with Him moment by moment. He is truly the Good Shepherd of my heart. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I am a diligent worker, a passionate worshiper, a forgiving lover of men, a faithful servant, and good steward of Your Word. I hide Your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You or any man. I require time with You more than the air I breathe. I live on every Word proceeding from Your mouth, Your Word.
I walk in and by faith. Doubt and unbelief have no place in me. I adorn myself with the truth of the Word, girding my loins, my place of strength and power with truth. Deception is far from me and no weapon formed by the enemy will have power over me, nor shall any plan or scheme of the evil one prosper in my life.
I believe and walk uprightly with a heart of faith, for I do not waver with passing winds of doctrine. I trust in You and You alone. I have the mind of Christ and contain the thoughts and intents of Your heart. The eyes of my heart are opened to revelation and understanding for Your light is shining into me separating all darkness. I am a light set on a hill and all shall see You when they see me, for as You are, I am.
Prayer
Lord, I lay my misgivings at Your feet and crawl up in Your lap, Your embrace. I lay my ear against the beating of Your ever encouraging heart. How I delight in you, my God and my King…my Friend and my Comforter…my Hope and my Wisdom. I receive Your tender touch today. I receive your touch right now, right in the midst of my busy and sometimes confusing life. I receive a sustaining grace to walk out the beauty of a life set free from expectation and performance. I am accepted in the Beloved and nothing can change that.
No power or principality can change the truth of who You say I am to you. I could lie down and never do another thing and you would love Me. This kind of love motivates me…encourages me to be about Your business…not out of duty, but out of reciprocal love for one who adores me. Today I relish Your closeness…Your faithfulness which never fluctuates no matter if I am joyous or despondent. Love is love and Yours is ever-present and unchanging. I am humbled by such an amazing grace. I have come this day to rest and be refreshed. Fill me to overflowing with love and strength. Amen.
Prayer
I come to Your table Lord and feast on Your Word. I refuse to speak words of death and choose life. I walk without fear and like Joshua, I have great courage. If You are for me, who can be against me? I will not fear. All the plans and schemes of my enemy are exposed by You. All he has robbed and stolen are being restored. Today I receive fresh manna, fresh bread from the table of Your presence. The aftertaste of my past is gone and I feed on the sweetness of Your redeeming love with a heart of gratefulness. My life is abounding with fruit and many will see You in me. You are knocking anew in my life and I am answering. I come to the pasture and sup with You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, there is truly a time and season under the sun for every purpose. When I remind myself of this truth I cease to worry or fret. The season I am in may not be the season of the harvest; yet, the season of the harvest is coming. How I love knowing that my time is in Your hands. I have nothing to fear as I rest in the comfort of Your sovereign care.
Seasons have a purpose divinely created for them by You. This includes the seasons of my life as well. In my life there are also purposes and they too will bring forth fruit in their appointed time as I submit to the kind intentions of Your heart for me.
Lord, I thank you for helping me to navigate through the seasons of my life, and all the transitions I go through as I travel on this journey called life with You. I surrender my obedience and willingness to follow You as we go through this process together. I will listen to the counsel of Your heart and not lean on my own understanding. I look to You for You are the joy of my salvation as I wait on You all day long. I will embrace the seasons as they come and as they go. May I be obedient to learn all the lessons You desire to teach me in the midst of every season as the glorious living water of Christ lives through me.
Prayer
Lord, Your heart is kind and full of plans for good…plans for a future and a hope. Your heart of love leads me to green pastures. Never do you drive me like a master might drive a slave. The law is a hard driving taskmaster; but, You are a master of grace in all things, at all times. The beauty of grace frees me and births a love that compels me to follow you…to follow the Word. My heart delights in how You know and are concerned about each and every unique part of my personality. It is amazing how you pay attention to my likes and dislikes. My hopes and dreams are important to you…so important You co-labor with me to fulfill them. Open my heart to see how much You love me right this moment, right where I am.
No danger is too fearful…no mountain too hard to climb…no circumstance too hard to endure…no valley to low when I follow you. You are my shelter and security in the storms of life. You are my hope for the future. You are the one I love. Condemnation is not my portion…forgiveness and restoration is. My heart rejoices in You and my eyes behold you. My ears are open to the sound of Your voice. Today is a whole new day to rest in Your Presence. I give You the freedom to speak to me using all my senses in any way You please as I rest under the shadow of Your wings. I draw near. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, how I long for You and all You have promised in my life. Everything I long for has been whispered into the hearts of Your children throughout all ages. They received and so do.
I long to be in Your presence more than I desire all the other ordinary aspirations of life. In Your presence there is fullness of joy and faith to overcome. In your presence I become like you as I behold Your beauty. I set my face on You and stormy seas have no power over me, no power to pull me into the murky depths of doubt and unbelief.
Prayer
Lord, I will occupy till You come and I will do so without fear. You have given me an arsenal of gifts…tools with which to fight the good fight of faith. I will put my hands the plow with perseverance. I will not look back or turn back. My victory is not measured by how much I accomplish; but, whether I finish the race. You have strengthened my heart with Your love and the power of the Cross. My sins are forgiven and my mistakes are covered by the blood which washed me clean.
The dreams and promises given to my heart are going to be accomplished one way or another. There is no need for me to look so far ahead I miss the beauty of each moment as it unfolds the working out of Your plans for my life. The fulfillment of my dreams and promises are to the benefit of others and the furtherance of the Kingdom. Therefore, each moment I fulfill is of great importance and I choose this day to occupy till you come even if I were to know I only had one moment left with no hopes of seeing the complete dream of my heart realized. Moses did this and Joshua inherited the promise land. David did this and Solomon built the temple. Lord, you did this and Your disciples, including me, continue on to this day. No matter what, Your work continues on like good seed and produces crops throughout the generations.
I confess my mistakes…my failings and appropriate the Cross in all areas of my life and motives. I confess I am of good courage just as Joshua was. I have been set free from fear for I walk in love, power and a sound mind. The love of God…the blood of Christ has set me free from the law of sin and death. I am accepted in the Beloved and the Son of Righteousness has arisen in me with healing in His wings. I am marked by and for the Lord to do great exploits one moment at a time. Victorious, overcomer is my name and the light of His countenance is upon me. My home…my habitation is in the place of victory, where fear has no power to defeat me. I am one who is finishing and will finish the race. I have set my face like flint to look to the Lord face to face, for I am loved unconditionally, needed, embraced, accepted in the Beloved, forgiven without condemnation, set apart and marked for His glory. Amen.
Prayer
How I delight in You Lord as I contemplate being in the center of Your thoughts and hear…ah yes…the apple of Your eye. Every potion of my life, and all the generations before and after are captured within Your vision. In one glimpse You see all.
Thank you for delivering me from things I am unaware of, for showing me things I have no way of knowing. I trust you to reveal all. Like David, I will adhere to You and Your word. I am faithful. Angels dance over me. My heart, my spirit is opened to understanding. I feel Your touch as You pull me into the shelter of Your wings. My mind is fixed on You and I hold the thoughts and intents of Your heart. I hear you singing. Amen
Prayer
You are my vision, my hope the very breath of life breathing through my lungs, coursing through my veins. I trust you to work everything out in my life. I set my face, my thoughts and my love on You. I look into Your face, overwhelmed by what I see. I want to be as engrossed in You as You are in me.
Change my heart, my thinking as I meditate on Your Word. Deliverance is my portion, my inheritance, born from Your nail pierced hands and feet. I open up to receive Your enduring faith, Your enduring love. I am transformed by Your love and others are transformed by my love. Infuse me with strength of heart for You are near, nigh unto my deepest, most hidden places. I give them all to You. You are here. Amen
Prayer
I am so grateful to serve a God who never slumbers…who never grows weary or faints. Lord, you are not bound by the limitations of man, therefore; I can depend on You regardless of the times or seasons I find myself in. Though I am limited in this finite world, You are not.
Though I am created with limitations I long to live in the flow of Your creative power in every progressive way. Help me to see and know how to live within my limitations without diminishing the supernatural. When I recognize my own limits and Your great power at the same time, the foolish things of my life are used to confound the wise. Knowing my own limits makes me dependent on You and not the works of My flesh. I desire for the wind of Your Presence and the waters of Your heart to flow over the hard fleshy places of my heart and shift me into all You have called me to be.
Though I have been taken from dust to glory, I can cling to things which I have been long attached to for they can seem secure to me in comparison to the unknown. Forgive me for refusing to move or be shifted. Have your perfect way in me. Do whatever is necessary to bring about Your intended purpose. Deposit rich treasures from the depths of Your heart into mine. Let me fly like dust in the wind and land where you need me to be. I let go. Now I can fly. Amen
Prayer
Lord, the more of You I allow to be poured into me, the closer to You I begin to feel. Your word is so powerful and strong. You speak to me through it with great delight. The joy I feel when I dance and worship You is so amazing. Truly spending time with You revives my soul and brings forth such a joyous and rewarding life from within. When I become oppressed, start to feel so unworthy, lonely, or depressed, please remind me that You breathe life into me whenever I need it. Bring to my remembrance what Your word says about me and I will agree.
I declare that I am the head (something to be lifted up) and not the tail (something drug around and never receiving the best). I have a future and a hope in You; therefore, I will not be dismayed, for I am never forsaken.
Help me never believe what the world has to say about me. Forgive me when I bring up the past. I pray for your healing to help me let go of the past and all lies which lure me there. I know from personal experience sometimes the past can consume me and I have no room to think about my future or even my present. Remove this bondage from my life so that I may move forward…so I may have room for more of You and Your blessings in my life. I thank You so much for Your mercy and the time that You spend with me simply because You love me. What an awesome thing to be loved by You. There is no greater gift…no greater love.
The intimate, quality times that I spend with You always fill me with such life! You come close to me as I draw near to You and Your Word revives me… brings refreshing life to my being. I thank you, Lord that the more time we spend together the closer we become and the more You reveal to me. I thank You for providing strength and peace for me to draw upon when I am in need. You have an everlasting supply to meet my every need and I receive all You have to offer right now. The more time I spend with You the more of who You are in all Your glory is enabled to flow out of me like streams of living water. I am not a fountain dried up but, an ever flowing stream of Your abundant life. In all that I do, give me grace…help me to be a Godly example to others. I pray others will see Your love, peace, and joy flow out of my life in both simple and profound ways. Lord I want to become one with You so that my life glorifies You in everything I do.
Prayer
Lord, I thank You so much for the times You give me peace and refresh my mind and body. Sometimes I’m in such need for Your refreshing spirit when the world around me seems to spin ever faster. I need to be revived in You. The things of this world get so heavy and tiring at times; but, You are the burden bearer. I lay all my cares on you and let Your relief come to the heavy places of my heart and soul.
I know Your Word is the only thing capable of truly renewing my mind and reviving my spirit. No one and nothing in this world can give me the peace You give. Nothing fills me like You.
Lord, teach me to learn from the natural things of life, like feeding and exercising my body, and how it relates to the spiritual. Garbage in and garbage out as the old saying goes. Proper diet and exercise makes the body healthy. A proper diet of Your Word and the exercising of my faith creates a healthy life which fulfills its intended purpose.
Just as my body needs natural sustenance, My spirit also needs to feed itself on the Word and time spent with You in order to grow and have strength. I can’t ever get too much of You. The things of the world can make me physically and spiritually sick; but, You give me life and life abundantly…pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
Therefore, I partake of you with great vigor until the expression of my life is indistinguishable from Your character and nature. In You, I only become stronger and wiser…I move continually upward not down! I am moving upward. Amen
Prayer
Lord, the enemy is a liar and the father of all lies. There is no truth in him. Therefore, when he comes to rob with accusing lies based on my past or flatters with unwarranted praise I will look to You. You know the plans You have for me and nothing can stop You from moving on my behalf. You are never surprised by the enemy’s actions or plans. Sharpen my discernment and understanding and I will not be taken off guard or be shortsighted when it comes to weakness and strongholds in my life.
Strengthen me as I depend on Your Word, as I rest in Your abilities. Contend with those who contend with me in order to abort purpose and destiny. I open my heart to the still quiet voice and obey according to the new person that I am in Christ. Show me all the little foxes that hide under the cover of deception and pride in my own heart. It is not enough to do something because it is good. It is only enough—only right—when all I do is done out of submission and obedience to Your Word, Your voice. I incline my ear to hear Your voice. Come and speak clearly and I will obey.
Prayer
Lord, I mount up with the wings of an eagle to fly with You. Take me higher in You than I have ever been before. May my heart be humble, full of grace and mercy to those around me. Open my eyes to see the things which bind me, hinder me, or keep me from seeing the log in my own eye. Remove every veil, every obstruction and set me free to see You in all Your fullness. Open my eyes and heart with each beat it takes until it beats in tune to Yours. Give me Your heart for the lost and help me not to focus so much on selfish attitudes and my own life. In giving to others I will be changed.
Everything You have to give is for whomsoever will believe. I confess today that my heart believes and is open to the hidden truths and revelations of Your heart. My heart beats in unison with Yours for a lost and dying world. The revelations You share with me are first for me and are then meant to give away. I lean harder into the gates of purpose and reach up in faith and my sight will be opened to see. My ears will be open to hear. I will not be dissuaded as I draw near to You and all You have planned for me. Amen
Prayer
Lord it is my desire to constantly seek you! Come and stir up a passion and urgency in my heart to stay close to You all through each and every moment until my whole life is surrendered to You. Let me not forget who I am in You according to all You have already established through Your death and resurrection. When I walk in the truth, the enemy can’t take away my identity unless I submit to his captivity by believing a lie. I choose to submit to God…resist the devil and the devil will flee.
Christ within me has made me an overcomer. I am part of a royal priesthood. I am a child of God whose name is inscribed in His hand.
Prayer
Lord, You are awesome to behold and I am so thankful for Your encouraging words of love. I choose to believe everything You say about me no matter what I might see in myself on any given day. I will proclaim who You say I am. I am a bountiful treasure who has a grateful heart in all things. I do not fear nor am I anxious over anything. All things are held in the palm of Your hand. I am secure. I am Your treasure in an earthen vessel, well able to do all I have been created to do.
The eyes of my heart are open to revelation and understanding, making me fruitful and unafraid. Winds of Your spirit flow over me, through me and around me. You hover upon me to do Your good pleasure. When You give me a Word and I speak it, it comes to pass. I walk in a steadfast spirit and I am not given to laziness or apathy. I am persevering and tenacious. The infinite love of the Lord envelopes me in fathomless folds of never-ending love grace and mercy. I am doing all I have been created to do. Amen
Prayer
Father, I listen to the beat of Your heart in the very depths of my being. I will no longer look for the outward signs of Your presence, for truly You live within me. Not only are You in me but I am in You. This is so amazing to me that sometimes it is hard to believe…yet, I will believe. I will believe I am beautiful in Your sight and that I am the desire of Your heart just the way I am. This will enable me to love myself completely, even as You do.
Thank You for coming to dwell within me forever. Help me to never forget I am Your dwelling place. You are not far off or somewhere way out there somewhere. Help me always to be aware of how Your presence abides within me. You knocked on the door of my heart and I opened the door. When I opened it You came in knowing all I would ever do or feel and have remained faithful, giving me all You have…giving me all You are.
Therefore, I will praise You forever for I have all things I need pertaining to life and godliness. I receive Your discipline and correction with gladness, knowing that all Your children are disciplined because You love us. I know that in order for me to grow and mature in the fullness of life I must be corrected at times.
Thank you for helping me to understand the difference between correction and condemnation, for you do not condemn or judge me even in the midst of being corrected. Your love encourages me to grow without fear, guilt or shame.
Please show me any areas of hidden issues not dealt with in my life which separate me from You in any way. Strengthen me to address all areas so the enemy cannot have power over me. Lord, I come to sit with You. I come to listen to Your voice and I praise You in advance for removing all blockages preventing me from understanding the deep revelation of how to walk in conformity to Your will. I surrender all. Amen
Prayer
Lord, the time has come to rise and shine with a heart of joyous praise, for You are faithful. Your love endures forever regardless of what takes place around or within me. I acknowledge Your loving-kindness and Your complete attention to even the smallest concerns of my heart. No matter what they are, from finding a parking space to matters of life and death, You care equally for them all.
Please show me where every ounce of fear would seek to hide and heal every wound giving place to said fear. Help me to dance on this side of the Red Sea. Help me to believe. Expose and then heal every hindering place within me and I shall be made new. Give me a fresh Word and I will proclaim it until victory comes. I declare with a heart of faith that I hear the whispers of Your voice over the rattling of dry bones. Faith will hear me speak Your Word and faith will come. The ears of faith are open to the Word coming out of my mouth. Resurrection life is not for some future day…it is for me right here and right now. I embrace resurrection life. I embrace the Living Word. I come into agreement and I live. My dry bones live. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, when my heart is heavy or I am just plain tired I will choose to worship you. My lifestyle is to be in Your presence regardless of situation or circumstance. Help me to behold Your face above all the choices and temptations I encounter day by day. So many times when I experience pain I do other things instead of worshiping You in the midst of what I am experiencing and feeling. I want to run to You and not away from You. You are my secure hiding place.
I completely surrender to Your will and purpose. I have a yielded heart and refuse to live on appetizers. I choose to live on every word proceeding from Your mouth. Being loved by You creates a rest in my heart. I am not afraid or stressed. I dwell in the secret place of secure love and my heart is bowed in humble praise. I am Your house of prayer. I am Your house of worship. Amen
Prayer
Lord, thank you for establishing and ratifying Your Covenant with me. I have an everlasting and incorruptible inheritance with You because of the New Covenant…because of the Cross. I have Your favor and high regard now!
Therefore, I trust You to root out my enemies and destroy them as I line up with Your word and walk in agreement with You. You are here with me to defend me as I surrender my will to You and Your word. I praise You for You have NO limitations. All things are possible with You. My life is forming in such a way as to demonstrate the fullness of sonship. Growing in You…growing in my sonship is a beautiful thing in Your sight. Just as a father joys in the first steps of his children, so you joy in every progress I make no matter how large or small. Simply put, You delight in me at all times.
Thank You that old things do pass away, and I am becoming new every day. I rejoice in the reality of new mercies I see and have the opportunity to participate on a morning by morning…on a moment by moment basis. Help me to relax in the process of growing in sonship as You continue to work within me. I let go of the old and make more room for You in every area of my heart and life. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I surrender myself to the breath of Heaven and the whispers of Your heart. Let them blow away every cobweb of the past and destroy every mindset that does not glorify Your name. I give You every hollow and hidden place and say, “Let Your will be done regardless!” Intervene and save me from my own wrong thinking or any false assumptions. I anticipate Your visitation, Your hovering. I surrender all my thinking to the power of the Word as I hide it in my heart. It renews my mind and I am made whole with the ability to impact the lives of others. Freely I have received and freely I give. I give my complete and undivided attention to You, Your Word and Your presence. I stand on the pathway of life and follow in the footsteps so clearly laid out for me. I am not anxious or afraid. Even though I am walking, I still wait. I wait because I am at rest in You.
Prayer
Thank You Lord for being my Savior and for being the Lion of Judah that always guards over me. I can never praise You enough. You are my refuge and my strength. In Your presence there is everlasting joy. As I abide in You, I have eyes to see with discernment and understanding so I am prepared for whatever comes. Thank You for the confidence to know that I will prevail because I abide in You. Help me to set aside all the busyness that is continually draining me, and help me stop and rest in You. Truly I reap what I sow, therefore help me Lord to sow rest as I enter into the joy of You Lord. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I will write the vision that I might not be discouraged in troublesome days. I will listen and obey. Truly, You have instructed me to write the words You have spoken to me, and they are of great importance…they are life to my very bones.
Let the reality of how our conversations are eternal penetrate my belief system until it aligns with You, for the consequences and benefits are eternal. Though I am forgiven, what I do can have a positive or negative effect in the lives of others. I desire only the positive. Much time is wasted trying to undo wrong things when it could be used to build others up the way You do so for me.
Help me Lord to follow through, and to not allow any distractions to keep me from obeying You. I hear Your call to write or even sing the words of Your heart. Doing so will save me frustration and heart ache later when the battle rages…when fear, doubt and unbelief try to take my thoughts captive. I will review and speak what has been written in order to stand.
Yes Lord, I will stand up and speak. I will stand up and declare the Word of the Lord and the enemy will be defeated. As I declare the Word, You go before me and accomplish the purpose for which it was sent. I will declare all You have said and the crooked way will be made straight before me and the rough way will be made smooth. Today I stand in a large place of safety in You. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, teach me to walk in wisdom, knowledge and understanding till all knowledge fills my house…my heart. May Your wisdom and revelation keep me from perishing in any way. Truly people perish for lack of knowledge. Many times in my life, as I look back, I realized the mistakes I made were due to ignorance of Your Word…ignorance about You.
I have made decisions which have affected me to this day, but you are the Lord who restores the years the locust have eaten. Many times I have judged others without having true revelation and change in my own heart. I ask You to forgive me and cleanse me of all unrighteousness and severe the power of all judgments I have made as I confess and repent. I release _______________ from all judgments and words I have spoken.
I declare the redemptive knowledge and fear of the Lord fill my life and heart. I will not give way to measuring another’s heart and forget to examine mine. May all I ever do in relation to others be done in truth and love for I must reap what I sew. It is love I wish to reap. Lord help me to be humble of heart and forsake the past. I press on to my high calling in You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, so many times I have found myself responding to others based on how I feel about myself at any given time. This happens when I have not been with You or in Your Word. How I feel about myself so often reflects on how I am with those I love…those I work with or go to church with. Help me to be aware when I am in a negative thought pattern which leads to being critical of others. I do not want to justify my actions and behaviors. Instead, I want to be free to love not only others but to love my own self.
Holy Spirit I invite You to come and do a complete work in my heart. Show me any hidden thing having the power to affect my life in negative or critical ways. Expose any root which holds me in patterns of weakness or wrong behavior. Therefore, today I receive Your impartation and revelation of love in its fullest degree and capacity. I receive love regardless of what I have done or not done. I receive it because You freely give it to me without measure or condition. It is Your love which motivates me to change…not rules and regulations. I will never be forsaken nor will I be begging for bread when it comes to You. Root out all fear and fill me with love, power and a sound mind.
Amen.
Prayer
It is so good to be held and cared for by such patient hands of love. Your kindness amazes me, surrounds me and captivates me with unfailing love. Remind me of all the lessons I have learned. Let them be like sign post along the way.
My past failures have become course corrections in my life. I choose to be patient with my own self as You are patient with me. Take me higher that I might see what You see. Until I see as You see, I will confess what you say, “I am good, very good and it is good, very good.”
Prayer
Father, open my eyes to see the fullness, wonder and power of Your Word. Cause me to see it as a living Word with power to reveal the very essence of Your being to me. Take me into depths of revelation such as I have never experienced before. Lord, I submit myself and the things of the flesh to the power of Your Word and I choose to become obedient to it. Your sacrifice, Your blood has cleansed me from all unrighteousness and I continue to bring my flesh in subjection to the Cross and Your sacrifice.
Cause me to be quick to see when old ways and habits try to spoil my walk with You. Each temptation to walk according to the old man loses its power as I submit to the Word and believe all the promises You have spoken over me. Help me to be quick to see and hear before I make choices which are unprofitable for me and others. I choose to take my thoughts captive and walk according to the Spirit. As I do this, cut away every oppositional lie of the enemy and insert the truth about who I am in You. Water the garden of My heart and I will grow. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I agree and I confess that my heart and life are full of treasures and I no longer have a hard or darkened heart. I am in the light as You are in the light. I am made new and every stone left over have no power over me. They are Yours Lord to do with as You please. Have Your way in me. I hide the Word in my heart that I may be better able to discern the deceiving voice of the enemy when he attempts to rattle my cage. Instead You rattle his, for You are God and he is not.
Make me sensitive and discerning when it comes to his ploys. Your Word in me will keep me aware at all times and when he comes at a more opportune time I will know. Let Your Word ignite a vision capable of carrying me in times of struggle so I do no perish along the way—so that I do not grow weary in doing good. You have turned the tables on my enemy and I am victorious in You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for all the times I have been in a rush in my life with the expectation of things to happen quickly. Fill me with the confidence and knowledge of Your wisdom for You always know what is best for me in every situation of my life. Help me to be patient when I don’t understand why things happen the way they do. Your Word says that Your ways and thoughts are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:7). Holy Spirit, please remind me of this Scripture when I get confused and don’t understand.
Lord, You have been since before the beginning of time and know everything that will ever happen. You are the beginning, the end and all in between. I pray for Your peace, mercy, and love in the times of my life when it seems that everything is going so fast but nothing seems to be getting done. I pray for the strength to go through my trials and have confidence in Your ability to mold me and make me stronger each time. I thank You for the image of the potter and the clay…for how my life relates to it. How awesome to be held and shaped by Your kind and gentle hands. It takes time for loving hands to mold and shape the clay into a beautiful creation! Teach me to be patient as You are patient…to not concentrate on the left over pieces of days gone by but on the beauty of what is being formed by Your hand.
Help me to understand that my time will go on, that it won’t end like everything belonging to this world. I am an eternal being and all I am in You will continue to be. I thank you for the new aspect of eternity awaiting me when my body has passed away. I pray for Your wisdom when I begin to think of time as being so short. Forgive me for putting You in a box and forgetting time is endless for You. Actually there is not time in You. You simply are past, present and future. When I begin to think I’m running out of time and become impatient, please remind me lovingly to wait on You. Sometimes it is so hard to wait; but, I remind myself that even the world knows the best things in life come to those who wait! I pray for the strength to stand firm and focus on You every day of my life. I thank you Lord for being patient with me…for taking the time to know my heart. I now choose to live as an eternally minded person who is not bound by time but, is transformed by glory. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I choose to quit looking down at the circumstances of life and I readjust my focus to look to You. You are my tower of strength at all times and remain faithful even when I am faithless. Help me not to let my past speak in such loud ways to my heart. The enemy of my soul wishes for me to believe my future is determined by past patterns and cycles I have walked in. He has tried to distort who You really are through the lens of the past. I reject these lies and know as I look to You all will be well. Open my eyes to fully see who You are in my life. Help me not to run from circumstances which seem to difficult. Help me to use them as opportunities to discover more about You, Your goodness, and Your mercy. You are one hundred percent committed to me and I am committed to knowing You. Amen
Prayer
Lord I run…no, I fly to the safety of Your arms…your embrace. Teach me the simplicity of being with you…teach me to receive the lavish grace of Your heart and life. My heart skips a beat when I think of you…when I speak Your name. I hear you calling for me to arise and come without condemnation or guilt. I lay them all aside as I receive forgiveness and embrace goodness and mercy.
I let go of all fear and allow Your perfect love to penetrate my heart. This way no fear can abide in or near me. I rest myself in Your love and listen with my heart to the beating of Your heart. Let the Word have its perfect work in me and patient love will abound toward you, toward others and toward myself. Most of all teach me when to rest and when to dance…when to fly and when to settle down in the nest of Your presence that I might be filled. Amen
Prayer
Lord, thank you for your love and taking care of my every need. You have made my life a testimony to others as you demonstrate your love in my life by the way You take care of me no matter what my situation may be. I desire for Your love to shine forth through the peace and joy that you’ve placed in my life.
Help me to remember how You have been closer than a brother even when I did not realize it. My needs are truly met in You. The desires of my heart are fulfilled in You. I declare Your greatness in my life as You overflow out of me like an underground spring. I cling to the beauty of Your name for you are loving, merciful and kind. I am grateful for Your Word, for it lives and breathes life into me every time I partake.
Lord, remind me that all reflections I perceive about myself are not the truth. The enemy wants me to see myself according to his definition, distorting the real me like a “house of mirrors” in a carnival. I choose to believe the Word, and in the process, will act like the Word. I choose to believe I am found in You and that You and You alone are the definer of who I am. Your Word states who and what I am.
May my daily walk reveal the truth of who I am in You with each passing moment. Help me to not be fearful of what I think I see about myself and fall into unbelief. Help me to see myself and others through Your eyes. Remind me that true beauty flows from the inside out. Regardless of what the enemy has tried to persuade me of I choose to rejoice for Your love and grace that covers me inside and out. Amen
Prayer
Every principality arrayed against me has been disarmed by the Cross. There is power in the blood. There is power in the Cross and it is all for me. I surrender my emotions, my thoughts, my mind, my body to You today. Let the saving power of the Cross put all aright in me today. I receive all unconditional love You offer me and I walk in victory. Your strength is made perfect in my weakness. I receive the fullest measure of love. Holy Spirit teaches me, guides me and leads me into all truth and revelation. I abide in the Lord and He abides in me. I stand before the throne, in the Holy of Holies and receive grace and mercy for my needs. I receive all I need to fulfill all planned for me. I am loved and I love. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I cry out to know even for a moment how close You really are. Let me feel the breath of Your mouth blow into the essence of who I am. I desire for it to be so real that my physical body reflects Your nearness and responds like soft strands of hair blowing in the wind. Let Your transformation come to the very deepest parts of me. Explore the possibilities of my heart and show them to me that I may do great exploits of love in Your name.
I declare my heart is awakened and my trust is founded on the Rock, Jesus. He is the lover of my soul and I respond to His beholding love by setting my gaze on Him. I am not ashamed for He is my righteousness and strong tower…a refuge in whom I trust. I am one who holds nothing back for my heart belongs to the Lord and the Lord alone. I am satisfied in Him. Amen
Prayer
Father I let go of the past, let go of self-blame, and press on. I have held on to some dreams in my heart because they seemed way to big for a person like me to accomplish. I have often considered the men and women of the Bible to be bigger than life, yet they are not. Only one thing is required of me, just like one thing was required of them, to be willing. I am willing.
I want what I believe and do to have positive results in the generations to come. I can hear faint sounds of child-like laughter bubbling in the deep recesses of my being and I choose to act on the sounds I hear. Laughter is my portion. My dreams are beginning to laugh in with childish glee. I have the faith of a child as I now dance a dance of praise. Amen
Prayer
Father, I am in awe as I take in Your promises and allow them to abide in the depths of my spirit…my heart. I take them into me so I can reflect Your image of fruitfulness. So often My life doesn’t look fruitful. I am so aware of the times I fail…the times when I live far below what You have planned for me. Please help me to turn to You in every circumstance and let You change me from glory into glory. Father, I like the sunshine, but not the rain or the heart of the day, so please help me to trust You and rely on You in the difficult times as well as in the good. Thank You that You are working all things together for good in my life. I am being transformed moment by moment for I live in the continuous stream of Your presence at all times. I am most surely anchored in the riverbed of Your heart forever more. Amen
Prayer
Because I am focused on Him and my heart is in tune with His, I will experience realms of His glory never before known. My eyes are opened to see many never before unveiled facets of His heart. Revelation is mine. He is mine. All things in my heart and life are made new in Him. Old ways have no power over me for He gives me abundant life.
My heart holds the thoughts and intents of His heart; therefore, I can know all His desires for me and those I love. I set myself to listen to the voice of the Lord and do receive all He says over me.
I receive the dewy essences of heaven like soft rain on a beautiful spring day. The garden of my heart is responding and my head knowledge is becoming a tangible reality in every way. I am transformed in Him and my heart receives His kind affection. Amen
Prayer
Lord, as I choose to worship “even in the tough times” I am asking You to create in me a clean heart and a steadfast spirit. I choose to arise and worship You with a heart of faith believing all is well in You regardless of what I see or feel. I receive the ability to move…the ability to dance. The framework of my life is being built line upon line, tissue upon tissue and muscle upon muscle.
Every fiber of my being is coming into alignment with Your Word. I declare that I am becoming more responsive to You moment by moment. I dance in my heart. I dance with my feet. I will dance regardless of what I see, feel or think. I am moving in motion to the beating of Your heart…to the inhaling and exhaling of Your very breath. I am in sync with You. Life and not death are the song of my heart and form words in my mouth that are filled with truth and faith. I speak and I hear the Word and faith responds with a jubilant heart. Faith comes in response to my agreement with You through the spoken Word.
I mount up with the wings of an eagle and I soar to the heights of promise. Any graveyards of dry bones in my life are even this moment being resurrected to bring forth a living future and hope. I arise and I worship. I arise and I proclaim. I arise and dance the dance of victory on this side of the Red Sea. Since You are for me, who can be against me…no one. I arise to do great things for great things He hath done for me. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I close my eyes and breathe deeply from the presence of Your abiding love. I inhale Your love and exhale all the frustrations, doubts, worries and things the enemy sends to assault me on a daily basis. I must stay in Your presence at all times, continually inhaling and exhaling in order to walk out a life of victory and peace. I confess my doubt and unbelief to You. I exchange the lies I have believed for Your truth.
Help me to be aware of even the most subtle thought lurking in the shadows of my mind, waiting to tear down my trust in You. Every place of darkness my own thoughts or words have evoked—every shadowy thought the enemy has perpetrated against me—is now dissolving in the light of Your glory and grace. Arise O God and let my enemies be scattered to the four winds, never to return. Victory is released into my life and I receive it as the truth and as a manifestation of my destiny. I arise and shine for my Light has come. Amen
Prayer
Father, you are so faithful again and again. When at first I don’t succeed or my patience wears thin, You come. I can hear the sound of childish laughter up ahead of me. What You have promised will come forth in the flesh and demonstrate Your faithfulness.
Though I still have questions, You are not daunted by them and Your answer is Yes. I exchange my doubt and unbelief for Your faith. I am and will be transformed by the release of long held dreams. I hold the sword of Your word to me in my hand and I cling to You. Amen
Prayer
Father, I praise You for providing seed for the sower and bread for eating…for providing all I could ever possibly need to bring about an abundant harvest in my life. I cherish the seeds You provide and plant them in the good soil of my heart. As a result, I will produce fruit that glorifies You from a pure heart forever submitted to the truth of Your Word. I realize how important it is to purposefully plant the seeds of truth in my heart in a proper way that they may be multiplied according to Your truth and not my flesh. Out of the abundance of harvest, I can share Your love with those You send me to.
The Word planted in the good soil of my heart and mind will cause me…make me to recognize the enemy of my soul and all his tactics…will cause me recognize doubt and unbelief in my heart as he whispers “Hath God said”?
Help me to see and know where I have planted wrong seeds so I may confess and repent…so I may speak death to all his plans before a harvest is produced. I will guard my heart and only allow the seeds of truth and wisdom given to me to be planted in the garden of my heart. Thank You for creating me with the ability to multiply. I choose to multiply goodness and truth to glorify You in my life. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I so desire to be obedient to You at the onset of anything You ask me to do. I renounce a heart of pride which proclaims my way to be better than Yours. Help me to learn from the life of Jonah that I might not spend my days in the belly of circumstances because I wanted to do things my way. Strengthen me in the day of trouble and I will not be dismayed. I cry out to You and You hear me without fail. Your ear is inclined to me.
Arise God and let my enemies be scattered. Help me not to look at people and gauge the outcome by what I see, feel or think. Let me base the outcome on Your character and a nature that does not change. There is no shadow of turning in You. What You were yesterday, You are today. What You were for Jonah, David, Elijah, Paul and so many more, You are to me. I give You a heart of thanksgiving and praise as a precious gift to be used for Your pleasure and according to Your glory. Like Jonah, I am seeing and will see the salvation of the Lord in astonishing ways. Amen
Lord I praise You and give honor to Your name. I praise You, for you are not a fair-weather friend. If it were so, I would be hopeless and helpless indeed. I would be completely lost without You for You are my strong tower…my everlasting rock.
Your faithfulness and joy gives me strength in the midst of these trying times. I am comforted knowing You never leave me nor forsake me. As things in the world continue to change, with no security in sight, I know I can still trust in You.
Though the world is in chaos, You are not affected, for You are never changing, the same yesterday, today and forever. In the storms of life, I draw comfort knowing You are my immovable rock…my sure foundation in whom I trust. I am ever grateful that I do not stand on sinking sand.
Teach me to be ever thankful for all You have revealed to me…for revealing to me how I am as You are in this world; an overcomer. I am an overcomer because You, the Overcomer, live in me.
How I love the reality of being an overcomer is not something I do. Being an overcomer is who I truly am. I choose to believe and when I do the revelation of the overcomer sets me free from the struggle of trying to do something or be something which is already done in and through Christ. Yes, I am free from the fear of struggling to try and accomplish things instead of just being who You have created me to be. The new creation in Christ You have made me is more than an overcomer. Therefore, I am now able to go out into the world free from fear and show others Your enduring love. I am free. Amen
I speak Your name. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, sweet Jesus, Your name is above all names. Your name is beautiful, tasting like honey on my lips. Your name is life to my very bones. Your shed blood brings me near, brings me within the very realms of Your presence, into untold dimensions of Your essence. You enclose me; enfold me, wrapping wings of comfort and protection around me.
Dewy smells of heaven penetrate me in this place with You. My heart softens and absorbs every word You speak to me. I am comforted, encouraged, infused. I am new in You. I spring forth with a willing heart. Today, my life and all it contains is given over to You. Sweet dew of heaven, sweet oil of heaven drenches me and fills me today.
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for concentrating on negative things and forgetting the wonderful blessings in my life. I choose to think on what is lovely, upright and true. The truest of all is Your Word. As I read the Word let it penetrate into my heart and cause faith to spring up. All things are possible with You. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Let me see the beauty of our communion and what it produces. You are my dearest friend and I will dwell on all You say and who You say I am. Amen
Prayer
Lord, forgive me where I have listened to the lies of the enemy and allowed him to persuade me that I have a hard heart in any area of my life. I am not disqualified by the stones in my life. They are opportunities to experience Your resurrecting life-giving power. They are stepping stones to victory and discovery. May I never feel like I have arrived to such an extent that I have no stones, no work to be done in my heart. This is pride, pure and simple.
Ignite a passion in my heart for Your Word, for Your truth. I open my heart to be examined by You. Expose every work of the enemy, every place in need of healing. I surrender my heart to You stones and all. Open my eyes to see the treasures that I may walk in them. I choose to roar over my circumstances with Your Word and You will contend on my behalf, for You were manifest to destroy the works of the evil one in my life that I might glorify Your name in the earth. Yes, I arise and roar and my enemy flees. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You are so mighty and worthy of all praise. From the rising of the sun to its setting, Your name is greatly to be praised. There is truly none like You in all the earth, making a way where there is no way. I give You glory and honor for all the things You have already done for me and my loved ones. With a heart of patience and persistence, I focus my mind, my will and my emotions on the truth of Your Word and not on the negativity surrounding me…bombarding me through the news and situations around me. All things are subject to You and You alone are sovereign.
I choose to dwell on Your goodness…Your kindness…Your grace and Your mercy. To do so sets me free from doubt and unbelief as trust and faith are built in my heart and life. I stand in faith to see the manifestations of your goodness for You are not broke, impoverished, destitute or without resources. Knowing You created the worlds with Your Word gives me great faith to know You can provide all things necessary. You who created Heaven, Earth and all they contain are not limited by what man can or cannot do. Therefore, I set my face like flint according to Your Word. Just like Moses of old, I too am willing to hear and obey Your voice when You say, “Go this way.”
Today, I seek Your face…today I listen and I obey, for truly it is impossible to please You without faith. I not only believe that You are God but I also believe You are a rewarder of those who diligently seek You. I receive Your reward. Thank You Lord. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, help me to continue to walk in wisdom gained from the lessons of life. I need to stop and breathe in Your goodness in all things. Your faithfulness throughout my trials and joys is precious to me. I will give verbal assents of gratefulness for all You have done and my heart shall rejoice. I receive Your many graces today. Take me to the very heights of revelation and understanding about Your great love for me.
I have the mind of Christ and His thoughts are within me. I choose to verbally proclaim all He has said to me and about me. The dreams of my heart are bubbling up like a fountain fed by crystal clear water. I am anchored in Him. My heart is a treasure trove of dreams honored and loved by the Lord. I am emerging into the fullness of who I am in Him. I am His cherished one. Amen
Prayer
Lord, help me to recognize the times and seasons of my life and how they relate to Your purpose for me. I am willing to let go and if there are any places I might have a tendency to cling to, I embrace Your supernatural strength and will be obedient. I will not listen to the roars of the enemy who only sounds like a lion. You are the Lion of Judah, having all power and authority over the devil and all his schemes and wiles.
Nothing the devil ever does surprises You and You are ever-present to lead me in the way I should go. You direct my steps and make a way where there is no way. I am safe in You and choose to trust Your leading and guiding. Help me not to look at others and choose what is profitable or unprofitable for me based on what they have liberty to do. I let go and make more room for You in My life and heart. I anticipate great things in the days to come. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I can imagine the scene. I know how fearful I would be…I have been fearful over much less in my life than dancing an actual dance with someone. I know the inner insecurities of my own heart all too well. However, I take comfort in the fact that You know them to and do not condemn me in any way. You never berate me or say, “Why don’t you change or just get over it!” Sure, you correct me but it is always with mercy and kindness.
Therefore, I need not fear. In fact, I release all fear of what You might think…all fear of what others might think. After all, You already know everything I have done or will do and still love me…still want to dance with me. How amazing You are.
May the butterflies in my stomach become wings with which to fly…wings to fly to heights I have never known before…wings with which to move with such graceful motion in my dance with You. May I become so accustomed to moving in sync with You that my steps become well timed like the notes of a great opus. I dare to put my hand in the palm of Your hand where my name is carved…where the steps to my dance with You reside. Amen
Prayer
Lord, help me to recognize the times and seasons of my life and how they relate to Your purpose for me. I am willing to let go and if there are any places I might have a tendency to cling to, I embrace Your supernatural strength and will be obedient. I will not listen to the roars of the enemy who only sounds like a lion. You are the Lion of Judah, having all power and authority over the devil and all his schemes and wiles.
Nothing the devil ever does surprises You and You are ever-present to lead me in the way I should go. You direct my steps and make a way where there is no way. I am safe in You and choose to trust Your leading and guiding. Help me not to look at others and choose what is profitable or unprofitable for me based on what they have liberty to do. I let go and make more room for You in My life and heart. I anticipate great things in the days to come. Amen

Prayer
My heart belongs to the Lord and the Lord alone. I give You, Lord, all of my heart, mind and soul today. My greatest concerns as well as the tiniest of details belong to the Lord. Doors are opening before me at the bequest of my Lord and King. My past is gone and a newness of life and direction has come. I am living my destiny today and it is not afar of thing unattainable to me. I am in the midst of my destiny each and every day. Create in me a completely clean heart full of thanksgiving and praise.
I come into your courts, your place of justice and recompense with a grateful heart. Because I come this way, gates are opened and the blessings of the righteous are evident in my life. I have every spiritual blessing contained in heavenly places. I am a living, breathing demonstration of the Lord through word and deed. Today is the first day of the rest of my new and incredible life. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, You are truly the Christ…truly the Son of the living God. This is s who I say You are in me and to me. You are love longing to be poured out. Lord, You are Hope fulfilled. You are the one and only water walker and enable me to walk on the waters of my life in the power of Your name as I set my face on You. Winds obey the sound of Your voice as You speak peace over my life. All My fountains are in You. No frigid circumstance…no fiery trial…no howling wind has power over You. When you tell me to speak peace to the upheavals of my life, I will with the expectation of seeing those upheavals respond to Your Word.
I am the vessel You have chosen to use for Your Glory. I am the love of Your life. I am Your most favorite one. You are pleased with me and I bring a smile to Your face as You set Your gaze upon me. I am Yours in the good and the bad. I receive strength as I eat from Your hand. I am fed.
I will not hide from Your Presence in fear, for Your perfect love casts out all fear within me. Help me to grow in the revelation of You as Christ in me the hope of Glory. No, I will not hide from You my Lord but, I will rest in Your strength.
Yes, I rejoice in You forever and thank You for the continual transformation of my life as I continually move from dust to Glory and become a beautiful garden in the midst of Your Presence. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, the enemy is a liar and a thief who loves to steal, kill, and destroy, whose desire is to divide and separate us from You and each other. Forgive me for listening to him in any way, shape or fashion. I choose to tear down any foundations of wrong thinking, wrong mindsets, or wrong speaking. I surrender my thought life to the living Word. I dismantle every lie with truth applicable in my own life. There is no situation, no circumstance, and no way of thinking that incapable of being changed by the released living Word.
Expose every cycle in my life leading to a hard and calloused heart which births shame and guilt within my very core being. I reject shame, guilt, and hardness of heart. I embrace the truth that sets me free and I am changed. Help me to see where I justify myself at the expense of another. I let go of all unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment. They are foes of freedom and change. They are foes of a humble and submitted heart. I choose instead to let the Word settle down into any empty place, any hurt place, any judged place and I am made new in all ways. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I receive a new day. I receive a new heart in everything I do. Your grace covers me and upholds me. Mercy surrounds me like a cloak. My hands are made to declare Your works and they shall do so on a continuous basis. My family is standing under the covering of redemptive love and grace. My family is loved beyond measure and each member will come into their destiny in the fullness of time, according to Your time. Help me to be faithful to pray and encourage according to Your Word. I receive the winds of divine guidance and direction over and in my life. Let the winds blow.
Open my eyes to see all the beauty around me in both people and creation. I stand under the canopy of the Lord’s great love and I am saved and set free from all hindering forces and the shadows of the past. Darkness cannot live in the light of the Lord where I stand. I rest in the Lord’s all-sufficient grace. Today is a new day as each and every day to come shall be. I rejoice in the Lord and I am glad. Amen
Prayer
I receive Your grace and mercy today and I allow it to shape my life and actions toward myself and others. I bow in humble adoration within the secret place, letting my silence be like the kisses of a child. May the beating sonnet of my heart touch Your heart, creating an abiding flow of Holy Spirit in my life.
I give up by faith all tendencies to perform or live up to the expectations of others. If I am in a place of patient humility all expectations will be met for I will be walking out love. I move from doing to being… I can feel Your breath blowing the cob-webs of the past away as my humility creates a place, a sanctuary, even Holy Ground. My time had come to BE. Amen
Prayer
All things are done according to Your timing and I choose to walk with a heart of faith. All things planned for me are coming to fruition. I am growing in wisdom and understanding. I am beautiful in the site of the Lord and this beauty is becoming evident in my life. I am protected by the Lord and He reveals all I need to know, protecting me ahead of time. My focus is on the Lord and His Word. My strength is renewed and I am full of courage, faith and compassion. All things are being perfected in the Lord. All timing in my life is aligned with the will of Heaven. All is done. Yes, all is already done. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I pray and declare myself to be one who remembers You as the Creator of all life…the restorer of all life which includes all emotional, physical, mental and spiritual aspects. Every aspect of my life is being created anew in the natural realm. What is done in the spirit already is becoming manifest on a physical and natural plain.
How could it not be so? How can my dreams, my desires, even my own life not be revived, restored and resurrected by You. After all, You conquered the greatest enemy; death. You conquered death and created life by Your spoken Word. All you have to do to resurrect anything to life is speak the Word. You speak the Word and it is done. I am thankful for You have created me in Your image and I am like You. What I speak is most important and has the power to alter and have great effect both for good and evil. I choose good…good words, good thoughts and a good heart.
I am so grateful for Your willingness to reveal to me how You can create anything from nothing just as You created man from the dust! If dust can form the complex nature of a man, then I can only imagine what else You can do. I need not worry or be anxious for nothing is impossible with You. Therefore, remind me to rest in You and help me to remember how you take care of everything in my life.
Lord, I declare You’re my Provider, my Strength, my Peace, and my Counselor who guides me along the way. Help me to follow the path you’ve set before me, for when I stumble or veer off you become distant or feel out of reach. This I do not want. I want to remain ever close to the beating of Your heart. Help me to be aware of and receive the strength and endurance You have already given to me through the work of the Cross…to go through what You have for me knowing that there is a great reward at the end…knowing your love will never leave me even in physical death because you have risen and prepared a mansion for me.
Help me Lord, to follow the path you have placed before me with a steadfast spirit. May I will always be a willing vessel for You to use to reach the lost and to glorify the Father. May my life become an example of one filled with compassion and power in order to touch others so they in turn are drawn close to You as ones who glorify Your name. Use me Lord. Work through me for Your glory! I’ve always wondered why people have said or thought I am different or strange. I thought something was wrong with me at times early on but You’ve shown me that I’m different because I don’t belong to this world. My home is in Heaven with You. Thank You for showing me I’m not a misfit and that there’s nothing wrong with me. Thank you for calling me the apple of your eye and the delight of Your heart. I choose to agree and as a result I will walk through this life as a manifest delight of Your Heart. Amen.
Prayer
You have truly chosen me, gone before me in every way. I arising with an attitude of gratefulness for all You have done. My heart is faithful and where it isn’t You are filling it with Yours. Abrahams yes and amen is mine also. Elijah’s yes and amen is mine also.
Consume me with a heart of undignified abandon. Show me Your radical heart of love. Reveal to me the depths of Your name as the dreams You have planted in my heart mature into the physical and natural realm. I look up! Fulfillment is here and is drawing nigh. Amen

Prayer
The Lord is my comforter, my friend and Holy Spirit counsels me, guides me like. The staff of My Good Shepherd works for my good. I respond to His wooing, His pulling, His nudges me and I stay within the boundaries of His protection. I am never forsaken by Him and I live within the shelter of the Most High, within the embrace of the Father.
Peace rules in my heart and all anxious thoughts and worries melt in His presence, for He takes care of me. I surrender all desire to wander from the fold in order to do things my own way. I surrender all to Him. His Word is working in my heart right now, bringing me into the fullness of love that I might fulfill destiny in my everyday life. My destiny is not for a future day. It is for now and I am walking in it. Amen
Prayer
I see you Jesus. I can see You in my heart. I hear your soft voice calling me. There are many times in my life where I have struggled to understand Your great love for me. Often times I have let words and attitudes of men distort the truth. I turn from this misconception and will not entertain even one thought to the tiniest degree. I choose to believe the truth.
Let my heart hear Your voice always. Let me see You as You stand before me. I have taken other journeys with You on many occasions and yet my stomach flutters at the thought of this one. A reciprocal intimate pursuit is the desire of Your heart. You are with me in my struggles, my failure and my victories. I am so thankful that you are not a fair weather friend.
I turn my face in Your direction with anticipation. I hear Your footsteps gently coming down the path of my life. Open my heart that I may hear all You have to say. Open my ears so I can hear Your kind words. Help me to always look into the depth of Your eyes of love no matter what I may feel or think…no matter what You might show me about myself. I give you free reign to remove any barriers separating us from this great work You are coming to do in my heart. Yes, I choose to look…I choose to take the chance and see what You see. I come and journey with you.
Prayer
The words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart are acceptable in Your sight, my lover King. The thoughts and intents of my heart emanate an essence which attracts You, attracts Heaven to my side. Your love is permeating me to the deepest portions of my being causing my heart to ache like Your aches for the lost. I ache like You for the highway and byway ones who are meant to sit at Your banqueting table…
I eat Your Word that I might not ever forget one desire of Your heart for me or for others. Even this moment I sense your presence and I absorb You in all Your fullness. Like a sponge is in the sea and the sea is in a sponge, I am in You and You are in me. I encounter You and You encounter me. I am the sponge and You are the Sea.
Prayer
Lord, open my heart completely in every way. Let every doubt and wrong perception of vision and faith be removed with the breath of Your mouth. Teach me to hear even the tiniest whisper of Your heart, Your voice that I may not perish between the vision and the manifestation of all You promised.
I confess according to Your Word that I have wisdom and revelation. I confess the eyes of my heart are opened to the fullness of all Your Word with complete understanding. My eyes are opened to the light of Your presence and all darkness in my life is now illumed with the truth of Your Word. Every gift or treasure placed in me from the foundations of the world is coming to light for the glory of Your name. The finger of Your love stirs my heart and creates winds of change that make a way for the moving of Your power. I am open to have all inhibiting, destructive patterns removed from my belief system, enabling me to embrace the truth. Your truth deposited in me will fortify, sharpen, enhance and illumine me and I will be made new. I receive all wisdom and revelation. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I am the sheep of Your hand and the apple of Your eye. I am loved more than can ever be expressed by human words. The compassion of the Lord is ever being released to me. He is acquainted with my grief and my joy. He surrounds me like the mountains surround Jerusalem and my face is ever before Him. Lord you are the way to the Father and have personified Him in the flesh. I know you and, because I do, I know the Father who is slow to anger and full of loving-kindness.
I declare I am one who knows the voice of the Good Shepherd and I will not follow the voice of another. I read the Word and I hear His voice. I read the Word and it is living inside of me to accomplish the purpose for which it was sent. My mind is being renewed day by day as I speak and mediate on the Word. Discernment is my portion and a result of hiding the Word in my heart. I am not deceived by the schemes and plans of the enemy for his tactics are exposed by the Word.
I declare I am aware of how the thoughts and intents of the Lord’s heart abide in me to give me discernment and wisdom in all things. I am not empty-handed, for all that the Lord is belongs to me. I have been given all things in Christ Jesus. I forsake the law and embrace a grace life as Christ in me the hope of glory flows forth with fountains of living water. I am a good gatekeeper and guard over my own heart for out of it flows springs of life. I am diligent to hear, listen and follow the Good Shepherd. He leads me to green pastures and I am fed. I arise and follow Him for the time and hour demand it and my heart longs to do so. Amen.
Prayer
I acknowledge Your presence. You are on the scene of my life every moment of every day. There is none like You. I commit myself to hide Your word on a consistent basis in my heart that I might not sin against You or anyone else. Your living Word is even now working within me. Many promises You have spoken to me will arise and flood my mind, will and emotions. I embrace Your truth, Your hope and let go of all disappointments over anything, from the tiniest to the largest. All must go.
Every hidden door to the enemy is being revealed that I might walk as a complete victor and not a victim of an enemy who only roars like a lion. You have disarmed him and I with due diligence will walk in that knowledge. Today is a new day and my light is shining like a city on a hill. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You are the redeemer of all things. You are the light of my present life and the one to come. In you there is neither darkness nor shadow of turning. Steadfastness and goodness cover me like a warm blanket on a cold day. I am secure in You and the promises You have made in Your Word. Therefore, I will choose to keep a guard over my lips that they might speak only kindness. If my lips for a moment cannot speak kindness, I will keep myself silent, least I speak death. I only want to eat the fruit of life born out of righteous and upright speech.
Please show me any blind spots…any place where I repetitively fall into the same trap of negative speaking. Heal any soul wounds which make me defensive and unkind in order to protect myself. Heal me and I will be healed. Speak words of restoration to any bitter place in me and my fountain will be sweet. I forgive all who have spoken death over me…over the way my personality expresses itself…over how I handle things like mothering, fathering, career, or any other task given to me.
Lord, I choose to change my speech no matter what the speech of others may be. I am responsible before You and You alone. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight at all times. If this is so, then I will have walked uprightly with others regardless of what they think or how they perceive me. I rejoice in Your restorative work in my life as I experience Your ever-present love and grace each and every moment. I anticipate my future with great delight for the Spirit of the Lord is upon me to share the good news…to share life and not death with the words I speak. Because You are in me, I am indeed a light in this world and do let my light shine to glorify Your name. Amen
Prayer
Lord, sometimes it is hard to see myself the way You do, especially when my past seems to loom larger than life. Help me to advert my eyes from looking back or looking inward in negative ways. Though I have sinned and make mistakes I am learning from them and choose not to be enslaved or locked in by them. I choose to agree with You today and declare I am indeed new in every way. My heart is set like flint toward the future of hope and prosperity in every avenue of my life.
Thank you for turning what the enemy has meant for evil into good as You restore all things in my life…including my family and friends. I will not be stubborn or ignorant as to my weaknesses or failures. Instead, I will declare I am strong in the power of Your might. I set my eyes on You and refuse to look away. My heart embraces the Word, and as I resist the devil, he flees from me. Thank you for not leading me into temptation but delivering me from evil. Today I let all things go into Your capable hands and I am forever changed. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I count it all joy to have You. You are the light of my life and a treasure to behold. You are the Pearl of great price. My spirit is willing and my flesh is weak sometimes, but still I choose to follow You, my bright Morning Star. Reveal the true condition of my heart that I might know and be free from things which separate me from You in any way. My heart is open and I am waiting here in Your presence to be filled to overflowing with abundant mercy and grace. Let faithfulness be the hallmark of my life. My hands are only capable of holding more when they let go of what I so tightly hold on to. Letting go demonstrates my ability to trust and willingness to obey.
I receive abundant life today and declare that my joy is made full in the Lord and the Lord alone. Nothing else can satisfy. Nothing else has the power to set me free. The Word hidden in my heart sets me free and renews my mind. The wine skin of my heart and life are softened by the oil of Heaven as Your Spirit is poured afresh into me. The time has come and I am ready. Come, Lord Jesus, come. Amen
Prayer
I put all my questions and doubts aside. I come to the water brook, to the place of green pastures and refresh myself in You. The longings of my heart are speaking to You, deep unto deep. I dare to hope. I dare to believe. Everything plan or purpose for my life is for the greater good and I must not forsake them by bowing to doubt and unbelief.
My abilities have never been enough, only enough at times to cause pride or self-chastisement. You are my ability in every way. I cloak myself in You through the blood of Jesus, through the living Word hidden in my heart and with a life of worship. You have come and I meet You in humble adoration. You are my great love. Amen
Prayer
My heart is attuned to the needy, the downcast and the broken. Bruised reeds benefit from the wisdom and love placed in my heart. I have the heart of the Lord for the weak and unloved, for those dwelling among the highways and byways, those unloved by others. I am quick to hear and quick to do all I hear the Father saying to me. Every act of service I engage in brings great benefit to those who receive and are filled with life flowing from the river of His presence. Humility, grace and mercy enthrone the deeds of my service to the King. I am a generous, big-hearted, expressive, devoted lover of the King. I am filled with the essence of my Father. Rivers overflowing with love pour through me. I am a three-stranded cord bound with a three-stranded cord. I am entwined with the Trinity for their good pleasure. Amen
Prayer
Thank you for being so aware of my dreams. I will not be ashamed or fearful to dream big dreams. I could never dream bigger than You, therefore, my dreams could never be too big. Stretch me, expand me, oil me until my wine skin can hold all have You planned for it to contain. Yes, I feel Your breath on my face, in my hair, like a gentle breeze through a field of grain. Blow through my life and let the grains of Your work in me grow, multiply and fill the lives of those who need it. You are my portion and I will be fruitful and multiply. Amen
Prayer
Father, I thank You for loving me…for knowing me more than I know own self. You always know what is best for me as well as when it is best for me to receive all I need. You have not given me a spirit of fear, so thank you for helping me to not be afraid to fly with you. You are my pilot.
Forgive for all the times I have tried to be in control of the destination of my flight. I thank You for forgiving me for arguing with You and wasting so much precious time. You are so awesome in every way no matter the circumstances of my life. I can never tell you enough how thankful I am for Your patience and love towards me. Take all the opportunities I have missed and make them into a beautiful master piece like only You can. I praise You for Your enduring love which believes the best of me and does not let my past does not disqualify me from the new things You are doing in my life. I reach out with both hands and a full heart of love and thankfulness to taste and see that You are good, and praise You for Your mercy endures forever. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, You are the Word and the Word is alive to do Your perfect will…to grow and prosper in my heart and life…to help me to overcome and be renewed at the deepest levels…to enable me to walk in grace and not law…to transform in the natural what I already am in the spiritual. Worry, anxiety, fear, doubt and unbelief have no power to rule over my submitted heart. The Word of God I speak into my life and over those I love is shaking any foundation built on sinking sand. I say the wrong foundations will crumble and sink as the righteous foundations in Christ arise to create launching pads for the glory of the Lord. I choose life. I choose love. I choose to be an instrument of love in order to release life and not death in a continuous flow which cuts off all death.
My life is not confined like an old note captured in a bottle and put out to sea in hopes someone will find it. You always know where I am and are acquainted with the joys…the grief and desires of my heart. My thoughts and dreams are ever before You. Every note…every heartbeat is captured and cared for by You; therefore, I will not fear or be dismayed. I am an eternal being and eternity is bound up in my heart for the Lord…the Eternal One…lives in me.
I declare I am one who lives outside the bottle of limited time…outside the box of status quos and worldly wisdom. I open my heart and mind to the wisdom of the Lord and declare times and seasons will not dictate whether I succeed or fail. I am a success at all times no matter what because I am in Christ and He is in me. I am faithful and true. My spirit is born again; therefore, it is perfect as He is perfect and my soul man…my mind, will and emotions are coming into alignment with my spirit. All of hell has been conquered…all of death, hell and the grave have been defeated. Abundant life rules the hours and days of my life. Resurrection power is my portion in all I do as I submit my heart to the Lover of my soul. My spirit is new and my soul is loved. I am amazed for sometimes I look at my soul and think how could anyone love it; but, You do. Thank you.
Today is a new day of pouring forth new life…new hope and new dreams…a new day of old dreams being resurrected to bring forth provision and sustenance in all areas of life. All things killed, stolen and destroyed are being returned for I am blessed of the Lord because He is in me and I am in Him. Today I have abundant life in every area. Abundant life is pouring forth pure and simple. Amen.
Lord, my heart is surrendered to You and is full of songs of fruitful praise. Today I sing a new song to You and my life reflects the beauty of each and every note. Love is overcoming every obstacle, every barrier and every scheme of the enemy. Wisdom and insight flow from Your heart of light and revelation to me this very day. I choose to let You defend me and I will sing of Your name while entering Your gates with thanksgiving and praise. Freedom rules and reigns in my heart and life. I am an overcomer. Pride has no place in my heart and no place in my life. Repentance is my friend and humility clothes me like a mantle. Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life and I dwell in Your house of love and forgiveness toward myself and others forever. Amen
Prayer
Lord, as I look back on my life I can see the footprints of Your protection so many times. So many times You tried to protect me and I went my own way thinking I knew better than You. Yet, You never left me forsaken. Every time I listened to accusatory words You always encouraged me and sent those to me who would love me the way You do. Your Word and the Words You have spoken to me are my life and substance and I will live by them. I will live by every Word proceeding out of Your mouth and heart.
Stir my heart to remember all Your promises and help me to remember every Word You have spoken to me. Help me to remember with a grateful heart all the times You have encouraged and healed me . . . all the times Your love has upheld me and I will be renewed. May the Words birthed in heaven find preeminence in my thoughts and thereby influence my actions.
I choose to believe every Word and come into agreement with them in reference to what and who You have said I am. I agree with the walking out of Your Word with mercy and grace flowing through a heart of faith. I will water the Word seeds in my heart by agreeing with You, and in the process I will inject my tomorrows with faith, hope and love. Help me to build righteously and not create barriers in my life or anyone else’s. May the Words of my mouth speak in unison with the beat of Your heart. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You are my Promise Keeper…the one and only true to the end covenant friend. You are the eternal life promised and given to me before the ages of time began. There is not one syllable of one Word You have spoken that is without power. Every Word you have spoken is fulfillment in and of itself, for Your word is endued with power given to it by You. Even if I am faithless, You are faithful for you cannot deny Yourself and who You are; the beginning, the end and all in between. In light of these truths, please forgive me for somehow believing the facts supersede the truth of Your Word.
Doubt and unbelief have always been at enmity with the power of the Cross. They have always been at enmity with the Word…at enmity with the seed of Christ in me. To think, speak or act as if the Word is limited to the facts or situations we experience gives power to a spirit of doubt and unbelief in unprecedented and brings death, not life. It has been so since the beginning when doubt and unbelief were sewn as seeds in Adam and Eve’s hearts. It is no different now. They were first sown by the Father of all lies; therefore, doubt and unbelief are demonic in nature. They are death.
Therefore, I choose to abandon doubt. I abandon unbelief and choose to resist the devil, submit to the Lord and the devil will flee. Death, hell and the grave have been defeated in my life. I shut the door to all deceptions and lies of the enemy about the true nature of God and the true nature of who I am in Him. I take my own thoughts captive and declare the authority of God’s Word in relation to my whole life as it relates to who I am, what I am to do and who others are as well. I stand in the covenant of God not based on human means or abilities. I stand in the covenant of God based on the truth of His Word which supersedes all other words or actions of men. Today I seize the day and the beauty it holds.
Lord, I cling and hold fast to You, the Word of Truth. I shout from the mountaintops, from the valleys…from every contrary circumstance and from every hindrance to the fulfillment of my promises and say “The Lord reigns and has already done great things on my behalf. He has already established my way and I and I alone make the choice to walk in the path set before me regardless of what I see, hear, feel, or experience contrary to the promise.” Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your words never cease to amaze me. Your ability to take the average or seemingly normal things of life and speak them into my heart is nothing short of amazing. How I love You and Your ways. They are boundless and full of life and light. Many times in my life You have found me in the darkest of all places and pointed out to me my qualities and not my faults. Like Adam when he hid from You was aware of his faults, I am aware of mine and You know it. Your kindness leads me to repentance as You speak to the treasure within me and not the fears and failures. You call me who I really am and I respond in return. You are so very wise and know just how to reach me.
With this in mind, come into every dark place and let the light of You shine in me for your glory. I draw near to you and you draw near to me. Wrap me up within the bonds of Your unceasing love…Your truth and I will be an example of Your beauty and grace…I will cause others to wonder and they in turn will find You. They will find You as my light shines in the darkness.
Prayer
Father, my heart rejoices in Your overwhelming love for me. You never leave me, nor do you forsake me even for a moment. Today I choose to be still in Your presence and acknowledge You as God over everything in my life, every up and every down, ever fear and every joy, yes, everything. I am salt and light. I do not fear for You are with me. You illumine my darkness with Your great light. I draw near to the flame of Your heart and I am set on fire for You. Passion burns in my heart like a mighty roaring fire. I embrace the Cross and all it stands for. Your right hand upholds me and the blood of Jesus has redeemed me past, present and future. Not my will but Yours be done. Amen
Prayer
Jesus, the cross is my hope…my resurrection and my freedom in every way. I know this but now it is time to walk in it to the fullness of all that You are. Help me! Help me to not dig up things You aren’t dealing with. This certainly overwhelms me and has the tendency to bring hopelessness into my thinking which in turn effects my actions in so many negative ways.
Yes, let every way of wrong thinking be nailed to the Cross where it loses all power and authority in my life. At the Cross…at the Cross where I first saw the light and the burdens of my heart rolled away…are words of truth worth remembering. What You did for me then…You do for me now. Let this truth move in fullness from my head to my heart.
Jesus, communion with You is the key…it is the door. I am in You and You are in me. You dwell in me in all Your fullness. Therefore, I lay my life before You in complete trust and assurance knowing that you work all things together for my good. How awesome is Your love.
Resurrect me to the fullness of who I am called to be. Let me see the fullness of the fact that I am seated in heavenly places. Open the eyes of my heart that I might see…open my ears that I might hear. I choose not to fear, for You knew me before I was ever born. You loved me knowing all my days. I will not resist your wooing. I ride with You.
Prayer
The Lord is always with me and I am not afraid. I am quick to hear and quick to follow all instructions He gives me. He is escorting me in paths of righteousness and victory. I keep my eyes focused on the light of His countenance, His Word and all shadows have to flee. All aspects of death have been conquered by Him in my life. I embrace the Cross and all it stands for. I do not listen to the lies of the enemy. I hide the truth in my heart and it sets me free. I am set free from the law of sin and death and live according to the Spirit. My face is set like flint toward the Mountain Jesus. I stand up in the mighty name of Jesus and say to the shadows of my life, “Flee!” Amen
Prayer
I draw near to You sweet Jesus and taste the waters of Your unfailing love. You are faithful when I am faithless, strong when I am weary. All You are and have has been given to me. I rest my weary thoughts, my jubilant thoughts, and I sit at Your feet in a place of transcendent joy. I root myself deep into the soil of Your heart and draw nourishment from Your great unquenchable love.
Wash me anew with fresh fire and anointing. I choose not to look back in regret, nor look forward in fear. Instead, today and in the days to come I choose to focus on You. Take my burnt offerings, my sacrifices and return them in the form of blessings upon those I love. Yes, help is here for me today, flowing from Your sanctuary. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I can never thank You enough for what You did for me on the cross. You did not come to condemn me but cover me with Your grace and mercy. What a sacrifice You gave for my life so I might be one with You…that I might abide forever in Your Presence.
Your grace is so all sufficient and falls down on me like rain…covers me like honey. Yes, I know where to run because You overcame everything the enemy stands for and everything he tries to do to us. You are my hiding place, my shelter, and the lover of my life! You are the rest and goodness I need. The hem of Your garment fulfills the impossible things of life. I only have to touch You and I am enfolded by you.
I declare that I am one who will continue to dwell in Your presence more and more, for You are so sweet and Your power and love engulfs me. You are all around me! You are in the beauty that You created– a child’s laughter, the sunrise, the sweet smell of a rose, a lover’s kiss, the touch of two hands which have spent a lifetime together and the caress of a cool breeze on a summer day. I could go on and on at all the things, which express Your heart and beauty for they are endless.
When I reflect, my heart is drawn to repent to say I’m so sorry for not taking more time to recognize You are all around me…to recognize You are all I need. Please forgive me when I begin to take You for granted for You are the most important thing in my life! How I want You to become more real to me as my one and only true Love.
Jesus, I yearn for You…I yearn to spend precious time with You where I can taste and see that you are good, where You are more important than anyone in my life on this earth. You alone have given me so much more than what’s humanly possible for anyone to give. Our time is so precious, Lord; therefore, may I always cherish it and try to spend even more of the time You have given me in Your Presence. Please forgive me when life becomes so busy that it seems hard to get to You. You are my everything…the very air I breathe! I am so glad our time is fulfilling to You and to me…that You enjoy it even more than I do. I need more and more of You, I cannot get enough! I come now sweet Jesus, Lover Of My Soul and rest in the beauty of Your essence and love. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I so desire for you to peel away the layers of lies and deceptions I have believed which hide or overshadow the truth about my life and the beauty You have already deposited in me. May all wrong self-perception be removed from the eyes of my heart. I do not want to see myself in negative ways, nor do I want to see myself through rose colored glasses when it comes to the attitudes and motives of my heart. However, I do want to see myself as You do, born again in Christ of incorruptible seed. My past failed attempts to overcome have no bearing on the future unless I embrace them instead of embracing the Word of Truth.
I am changing and growing daily in knowledge and understanding of the Lord. My heart is being transformed into the likeness of the Lord in all I do and say. Progress is being made moment by moment. I dwell in the overshadowing Presence of the Lord at all times. He is my covering. The enemy of my soul is a liar. My soul is being sanctified daily as I submit myself to the Lord. I am in Him and He is in me always. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, not only have You loved me for all time, You called me beautiful too. This is amazing and a joy to My heart. There have been those in my life who have not seen me as beautiful…who have judged me based on their own perceptions or thought they alone knew the intent of my heart, but not You. While they were judging, You were looking on my true motive…my true desire to be like You and overcome as You overcame. You knew I hated my sin but felt trapped and unsure of how to be transformed into Your image in my everyday life. It did not matter what You saw me do, I was and still am beautiful to You. Help me to realize this in the depth of my being…in any place where I was wounded, unloved or unaccepted. Heal every place in my soul where I cannot accept the beautiful picture You see me to be and I will be changed.
This is the day I declare I am a beautiful coat of many colors fashioned and formed in my mother’s womb to display the glory of God in and on the earth. Every color fashioned and meant for me will be sewn into my coat with great delight and without delay. I will not miss one color…one patch meant for me. Moment by moment, my coat of many colors is unfolding like a beautiful tapestry in order to display the plans and purposes of the Lord’s heart for me. Because of this, all I am will be a blessing in time, throughout time and into eternity. The Lord has looked at me…He has looked upon me…and has and forever will declare me to be GOOD! Everything in my life is being transformed into the reality of His likeness in my everyday life. I am a reflection of the beauty of the Lord in every way and in every situation.
Lord, I testify this day the manifestation of my divine purpose is not for a future day but is being demonstrated in the moment by moment…hour by hour and day by day things of life and love. My heart is fully satisfied with the Lord and the fragrance He has placed in me.
Come Lord and cloak me…cover me…and surround me with Your sense of purpose and beauty as who You are in me unfolds before my very eyes. The time of mantling has come. The time of cloaking has come and no opinions or words of men can stop it. For the Lord has and is adorning me according to His pleasure and not according to the opinions and ideas of man. I am truly one who was beautiful before all time, in time and for all time to come. Amen

Prayer
Lord, I receive the sweet nectar of Your Word. It settles down around my heart and flows into the hidden places of dryness like fresh spring water. It coats my heart like thick honey from the Rock. I declare that my eyes are beholding You in a whole new way. I am able to see into the realms of Your glory and presence that have been reserved for me in this day.
Metamorphosis is taking place with every breath I breathe. My heart responds to Your wooing of Love. I receive Your goodness—Your kindness which flows to me from the depths of Your heart. The gates of purpose and destiny are swinging wide open. Favor, blessing and honor are mine as I dwell in You. All that has been stolen is being returned multiplied unto me. Spring is arising in my heart. The Son is shining and the rain of Your presence is softening the soil of my heart. I am being made new. Flowers of provision in every area of my life are popping up just as I need them. I am being prepared to fly. Spring is here and my love is awakened. Amen
Prayer
Lord, it is my desire to worship You in all I say and do. I desire my life to be a life of thankful praise displayed with a kind heart toward myself and others. I choose to make the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart acceptable in Your sight regardless of situation or circumstance.
I build my house on the Rock of all right thinking and doing and not on sinking sands of wrong attitudes and choices. As I do this, You inhabit every portion of my life, expand my tent pegs and enlarge my borders. I am ignited with passionate love for You, Lord, and my soul longs after You like a deer panting for water. Draw me into a deep and intimate relationship in spite of anything going on around me. I come into Your presence and receive all You have to offer. Amen
Prayer
Lord, the rain falls from the heavens and waters the earth. As a result, things grow, mature and become fruitful. It is the same with Your Word. Every Word you have given me is full of power and ability…full of the redemptive work of the Cross and brings about the purpose for which it was sent to me. Everything You purpose for Your Word in my life shall be accomplished. Every need is and will be supplied according to the riches in glory in Christ Jesus. You called me from the very beginning…before the worlds were and are trustworthy to keep me according to all You have called me to be.
Therefore, I will not grow weary in doing good…will not grow weary in following Your Word and unction of the Spirit. I will not be one who faints and I will reap in due season according to Your timing. I stand in the confidence of one who is a son of God and heir to salvation. I will be found standing on the day when my promises come into fullness and are manifest before me. I will not be late to my own party. I will not be absent for the manifestation of Your Word to me. The Lord has gone before me this day and every day after to make a way where there is no way. He has gone before me and I will follow His lead.
I do not have to demonstrate some kind of perfection based on my own self-doing, for I am already perfect in Him. Knowing this and walking accordingly gives me rest and takes the pressure of the journey off me and lets it rest on Him. Every word given to me by Him is truth already manifest and is waiting for me to receive it with my own heart that my eyes might see.
Therefore, I seize the day and grab hold of all promised to me. I do not give it over to the birds of the air. The Word promised is my inheritance…my fruit…my destiny. I acknowledge the faithfulness of the Lord; thereby, I experience the fullness of strength, endurance and steadfastness it takes to not grow weary. I stand in the strength of the Lord and receive the refreshing of the Lord…receive the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. When the Lord speaks to me, a promise given is a promise kept and there is no dispute on my behalf. I will not be one who accuses my own self and thereby vacate the seat of honor given to me. The Great Promise Keeper has drawn near to me and I to Him. I am refreshed, renewed and full of expectant hope. I remain standing. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You have loved me with an everlasting love since the beginning of all time. In the beginning, You loved and adored me with a divine purpose in mind—a divine purpose meant to express the fullness of who You really are. With great care I was formed in Your image to express a portion of Your heart that no one else ever has or ever will. Help me to see the magnitude of this great gift and responsibility given to me. Teach me to be in agreement with all things spoken over my life according to Your written and spoken Word.
I desire for my heart to always be found in You in order to be instant in and out of season no matter what is going on in my life. I choose to prepare my heart through worship, prayer and the Word, to receive seeds of destiny and purpose intended to be like manna, fresh each and every day. I come to You with a heart of worship, prepared for You to hover over me, transform me and change me from the inside out. Come and plant seeds of new life in my spirit and I will agree with all You say and do. Amen
Prayer
Create in me a clean heart and cause me to have a steadfast spirit that I might not faint in doing good. I am willing to see beauty instead of ashes. The ashes of my life only serve to teach me lessons on how to overcome the next time. Life springs out of my ashes and I embrace the destiny perpetuated by lessons learned.
Mercy and goodness is my portion. I embrace goodness, which is all right thinking and actions. I take my thoughts captive and speak words of life. My heart is a beautiful garden and produces life and not death. My eyes see and my heart embraces purpose and destiny moment by moment. My hope is not deferred and I am courageous in the Lord. Amen
Prayer
Father, I thank You for eyes to see all that I need to see. I praise You for my renewed vision it this day and hour. Help me to adjust my focus quickly to see at a new level. Increase my discernment to its highest capacity. Change my willingness and ability that I may respond quickly to Your voice.
As I abide in You and ride with You, my instincts will be increased to discern every enemy of my soul. Learning from the observations of a lion, I see how timing and patience is of utmost importance. I will listen and wait on Your leading to proceed where in times past I have jumped ahead of Your timing. I wait on You Lord and I rest.
Thank You for teaching me what it means to rest in You, and that rest is actionable. Although a lion rests it is ever alert to everything around it. Lord, thank You for helping me to come among the reeds and grasses of Your presence as I enter into Your rest and experience Your love, peace and joy. Amen
Prayer
Lord, all that concerns me melts like wax in Your presence for in Your presence there is fullness of joy beyond compare. In the day of trouble You hide me, keep me and defend me. Therefore, I surrender all my troubles one by one into Your capable hands. And while You are doing what You do best I am unfolding in waves of beauty formed in me before the foundations of the world. All the beautiful colors knit in my mother’s womb are coming into view to create a garden for You to walk among in the cool of the day.
My love for You enables me to see others the way You see me, to direct all my energies in a positive life-giving way. My arsenal no longer consists of stones but is supplied by the Word of God, sharper than any two-edged sword. I refuse to look at the speck in my brother’s eye and my heart is submitted to the removal of the log in my own eye. I am regaining my standing and do not grow faint or weary. I am seated in heavenly places and have the mind of Christ in all things and toward all people. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I am so thankful my prayers are answered according to Your good and perfect will. My life is an example of Your goodness and enduring love. With a steadfast spirit and strength I receive grace to overcome. You defend me on every side. I do not have to contend, for You contend with those who contend with me. With great wisdom and love You declare Your Word to me and I proclaim it to bring about Your will in my life. You know the number of my days from beginning to end and impart wisdom and knowledge that I might walk according to all Your plans.
I come into agreement with all You have declared over and about me. Your steadfast hand of perfect timing will bring all things to pass. My heart is open to the fullness of Your Word and rises up to declare and call on those things that are not as though they are. My heart trusts in You and thankful praise flows from my heart. I am in You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, today I choose to acknowledge that Your mercies are new every morning and they are new for me. You show no partiality to any person, however; you are partial to me because of Your great love. How You love me. I leave the past behind and live in the present moment with You, even if it is just to say Your name. Help me to keep my relationship with You simple by experiencing every moment with the realization You are there. I embrace the life You have given me with and expectation of a future and a hope. All things are forever being made new when I am in You.
Teach me to breathe You in and at the same time breathe out wrong attitudes, unforgiveness toward you, others and my own self. I am a fountain full of Your living water and this day I burst forth with delight and adoration for You and this life You have given me. I can hear You bubbling up within me. Yes and amen.
Prayer
Lord Your shield covers me, protects me in the battle. No matter what road I travel You are there to make the rough way smooth and the crooked path straight. You are my greatest dream and my ultimate reward. How awesome it is to know You are the same to me as You were to Abraham.
I choose to look at all the promises given to me, spoken through the Word and by any rhema word. They were all breathed by Holy Spirit and bring life to the dry and doubtful place of my heart. Even though I can’t see some things in the natural yet, they are there and in process. I hold my dreams up before You and with a heart of faith, I lay them down and look to You. As I focus on You Isaac is in alignment with You. There is no other way. I see through You to my Isaac, to my dream. Yes. to the unfolding process. Come quickly! Amen
Prayer
Lord, you have given me men and women of God to encourage me, equip me and to confirm promises already spoken to my heart. I walk in pathways of peace and I am not moved by what I see or feel. I do not move by my own might, or by my own power. Every movement I take is by the spirit of the Lord. I declare it so. I hear my Shepherd’s voice and I do not follow another. Every desire to please man is melting like wax in a flame. Every residual fog of the past is burned up in the Light. I am endued with a fiery passion that sets the world on fire for the Lord. I seize the day and all its graces. Amen
Prayer
Lord, as far as this world is concerned, I am hidden, concealed, covered, cloaked, and veiled in You. My concealment…my hiddenness is not by chance, for you chose me and appointed me in a deliberate way. I have been in the grace of Christ before the worlds were formed.
I, like all men, have been reconciled to God though the Cross; but, not all men have chosen the reconciliation You died to give them. I choose to walk in this reconciliation. I choose to walk in the truth of who I am in You…the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. My old life has passed away and now I abide in eternal life with the King of Kings. Eternity does not begin when I arrive in Heaven. All people experience eternity but not all experience it with You. The moment I accepted You as my Savior, my Heaven based eternity began and will continue forever more.
Therefore, I declare I am one who walks by faith and not by sight. Death, Hell and the grave have been robbed of their power in my life and I accept this as a truth to live by on a daily basis. It is not just for the future. It is for now. I will not cover my face or hide the secret things of my heart. They may be kept as a secret from others; but, the Lord sees the heart, so there is no need to hide anything from Him. He died so I could be free and the only way to be truly free is to give Him all things.
Lord, I give you all things. I give you the good, the bad and the ugly. I give you all my indifference and apathy. I give you every offensive, bitter, resentful, angry or prideful place. I give you all pride and selfish-ambition. I humble myself and You shall exalt me in due season according to your plan and purpose.
My mind and heart are set on eternal things and not the temporal, transitory things of this world. I am captivated by the Lord and His great love for me. The Lord is whispering to me…wooing me and I am responding at a greater level with each passing moment. When He knocks on the hidden doors of my heart, I say, “Come in!” My affections are set on Him and things above. I study myself to be approved according to all things He has given me in the Word and through experiencing Him. Grace is given to me, pressed down, shaken together and running over. This same grace I give to others as I point them toward their higher calling in Christ. I am transformed. Amen
Prayer
All the things the enemy meant for evil are now turning to my good. All the things he used as chains to bind me are being removed and I am moving forward into favor and blessing. Today is the first day, even the first moment, of a whole new life and perspective. I fall on my face before You Lord and humbly rend my heart. To be on my knees in a place of broken surrender is the highest form and place of worship I can be. Touch me, hold me and whisper in my ear. Your name upon my lips is a delight to You. What do I need? I need more of You. I need to see You and have revelation of Your love in my heart, my mind, my soul. I need to know as I am known. Come close and whisper in my ear. I am listening. Amen
Prayer
Father, help me to hear Your every psalm and song You sing over me. Help me to hear every word You to speak into the chambers of my heart. I will not be deaf to Your voice. Instead, I declare that I am one who listens. I am one who embraces every truth You have for me. I am a receiver.
As I sit in Your presence, embracing Your love and peace, I listen for Your still small voice. As I draw close to You and You draw close to me, I listen carefully with great expectation to hear the thoughts of Your heart. I welcome the searching of Your Spirit and I praise You for going to the deep places within me. Bring every hidden thing to the surface of my thoughts by the power of Your light and Your love.
Thank you, for I am truly planted, rooted and grounded in Your love. Therefore, the abundance of Your love will flow unhindered through me to a lost and dying world. Amen
Prayer
Lord, before the worlds were formed You chose me, planned for me and made a way for me. I am like a beautiful rising sun to You and my name is engraved in the palm of Your hand. You count every hair on my head and have numbered my days. You see the beginning and the end; therefore, You are not dismayed or impatient with me. My life is like a full-bodied wine to You, invigorating and full of life drawn from the vine.
Soften every hard edge in my personality, in my thinking and in my doing, enabling me to serve You with a heart of realized love. Lord, I come to sit in Your vineyard and drink from the cup of love and purpose with You today. I am Yours and You are mine.
Prayer
You anoint my head with the sweet oil of Your presence. Your Word sustains me and gives me life. Please forgive me Holy Spirit where I have had wrong thoughts, actions and have walked in laziness toward the Word of God. Forgive me for grieving You in any way. Uncover and show me any wrongful way or attitude in my heart; even where I have tried to do things my own way and expected a blessing anyway. I repent and receive a new work in my heart and life. Complete healing and restoration have come and is coming to my life. I do not lack one good thing I need to walk out a life dedicated to You. I am in love with You and my life shows it. I receive Your anointing in my mind, my emotions, and my thoughts both conscious and unconscious. I come to picnic with You. Let the oil flow. Amen
Prayer
Father, old things have passed away in my life and the new has come. I refuse to look at them any longer except to allow for the manifest presence of Christ to destroy any vestige or fragment left over capable of coming against Your purposes and plans for my life. Instead of focusing on lack I so often see in myself, I choose to set my face like flint and press on. Yes, I press on to a higher calling. I press on to a higher vision…a vision born of Your heart for me and all those I love. Once again, I confess that it is not about me. It is all about You…it is all about Kingdom. It is about restoration of all things and You have given me a part to play. I am taking dominion of all you have given me charge of. I am not insignificant to the plans and purposes You wish to accomplish on the Earth.
Nothing is too grand, for nothing is impossible with You including my life and its struggles or my purpose in reference to those I love and Your will for all involved. Your light is here with me right now and I am in full reception of it. Revelation is around me and in me at every level for You dwell in me. All my senses are captivated by Your heart…by your friendship as You dispense revelation and truth according to the Word. I live…I breathe…I walk…and take dominion in You. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, my heart is overwhelmed by Your goodness toward me. It is astonishing to know I am engraved on the palm of Your hand. You saw every day of my life before I existed. You have restored me at great cost. Help me to realize and come to know intimately the beauty You see in me.
Let every gift in me come to fullness as I inhale Your words of love and grace. I am flawless in You. confess my sins and You cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Past failure has no power over me for each day begins with new mercies. I receive new mercy today to walk in all You say I am. I confess my unbelief and let go of any guilt or shame. I step into the rivers of forgiving grace, for I am the righteousness God in Christ Jesus. I. I am loved. Amen
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for getting ahead of You or for listening to the advice of men in lieu of Your Word. Help me to understand how important the ground of my life today and how I nurture it will determine much of my tomorrows. Give me an eternal perspective as I learn to see the bigger picture around me. I do not want to be self-focused or self-absorbed. May my heart be cultivated in richness, grace, mercy and truth to the point no lie will have the power to influence me or draw me away from Your presence.
I proclaim I am one who is receptive, receiving, believing…one who is trusting even as the Lord is. My heart bows in awe and respect for the Lord. I am not moved regardless of situation or circumstance for the Lord is with Me. I stretch myself out to the Lord and He meets me. I am changed. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I arise with a grateful, believing heart filled to overflowing with forgiveness and love. Beauty is unfolding before my very eyes among the thorns and gardens of my life and heart. If You can bring beauty from ashes, nothing else is impossible. I offer the ashes of my life as a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving for what You have done and what You will do.
I release the word “LIFE” over my family, my church and every other aspect of my life. My life is transformed by Your life-giving words. Every word I have placed in my heart has settled down and is bearing fruit. My fruit is the result of resurrection life contained in Your Word. Everything contained within and on the path I am traveling is changed. I release “LIFE!” Amen
Prayer
Lord, I am fearfully and wonderfully made by Your own hands. I was knitted and fashioned in my mother’s womb to be a beautiful tapestry to display your image. Every detail of my life…every thread of my tapestry matters to You. In fact, you have numbered the hairs on my head and are aware of each and everyone. You have numbered my minutes, days and hours with great anticipation of all I am and will be. All that I am and do is fully exposed before You without condemnation or shame. I simply give my missteps to You. Forgiveness is my portion: past, present and future.
I am so thankful that you do not treat me harshly or in unkind ways for the world and its ways have no place in You. I am so thankful I do not have to hide my eyes and pretend you do not see or that I am hidden from you. I choose to not walk in denial but boldly before the throne of grace to receive mercy in my times of need no matter how small and insignificant they might seem to be. Simply put, You care about me; therefore, You care about all aspects and concerns in my life. Nothing, and I mean nothing, escapes Your care and willingness to act on my behalf except my refusal to receive what You give me.
Lord, You are making everything in my life new, starting with me as You work from the inside out. I choose to respond to the promptings of your voice by taking the blinders off…by removing my hands from eyes. I choose to see what You see regardless of what it looks like in the natural…regardless of whether the enemy wants me to fear…regardless of what others might say or think, and as a result I am free. I am free to love…free to minister…free to be without any repercussions.
Take my heart…my life…my very soul and search me out to see if there be any wicked way…any “one thing” I need to let go of. Show me the next block in the wall which needs to be removed in order for the wall to fall as Jericho did. There will be no more hide and seek…no more seeking You and then hiding when You come in ways I do not want you to or did not anticipate. I choose to trust in the goodness of who You are no matter what. No more hide and seek for me. I come and stand before You face to face in the place of Amazing Grace. Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your blood will never fail. It is as fresh as the day You gave it. My life is submerged in the gift of life You gave and will bear all You have ordained for it to birth. My heart is changed each time I behold You and my tendency to be fearful and anxious fades away in the light of Your beauty. I praise and thank you for the gift of life You have given me. I cherish it and use my words to proclaim its greatness to all who will hear including those not of this earth.
Like a mighty garrison, peace surrounds me, encircles me in its protective sphere. I embrace peace and thankfulness. I love Your law and am not offended by the deeds of men. Peace warns me and sends little flags up along the way when things aren’t right. I listen and wait patiently on You during these times. I rest in the complete work of the Cross. My heart is a heart of joyful thanksgiving and praise. I settle myself down in the protective arms of peace and I shall not be afraid. Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your words have the ability to startle and thrill my heart all at the same time. I know I have often judged my own heart incorrectly. Forgive me for not extending the same grace to myself that You give me. Teach me to forgive and see myself and my heart the way you do…to see myself as one who continually keeps my ear to Your heart. Remove all scales of doubt and unbelief from my eyes. Soften the crusty places with the oil of Your Presence and I will be changed…I will be able to see
Prayer
Father, I so want to know the height and depth and width of Your love. Please let me know Your love in all its fullness. Please help me to be rooted and established in Your love so that I may grow strong and secure. Please help me to display Your splendor so others will be drawn to You. Help me to not be fearful of new things but to know that with You I can face anything.
Lord, I declare all my yesterdays to be redeemed…all my today’s to be full of wonder and redemption…all my tomorrows to be full of hope and promise…to be full of unprecedented growth in Christ. I am one who discerns the seasons of life without fear. I always know what to wear in every season for my heart is captivated by the Father who loves me with a daddy kind of love…captivated by Jesus who gave His all for me…and by the Holy Spirit who leads and guides me into all truth. I am one whose roots go deep into the soil of love…deep into the banks of Father’s river to receive nutrients on a moment by moment basis. I am redeemed, set free and fruitful in this life and the life to come. I am an oak of righteousness which gives pleasure to the Lord as He beholds me and I behold Him. I am thankful.
Lord, I do indeed thank You for all Your marvelous promises to me and I look forward to my future with You as I continue to grow in stature, strength and intimacy with You. Amen.
Prayer
Father, I am sorry for not always wanting to put you first…for letting my time with You get crowded out by other things. The desire of my heart is to be in Your presence and hear what You have to say to me in order to truly live…in order to truly walk out an abundant life. Please tell me of Your love for me and how precious I am to You. Help me to believe how much I am adored by You deep in my heart in such a powerful way that I am affected in my everyday life. In Your Presence, the cares of this world fall away. They fade in the in the presence of Your glory and grace.
Lord, how I love You. How I want to live to spend time with You…to have You at the center of all I am and do. Therefore, help me to put You first and foremost above everyone and everything. Renew me with fresh vigor and strength for the task ahead. I am Your highly favored one, and even this moment, Your eyes are on this child whom You love. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I declare I am one who hears Your voice and I do not follow another. I ask for wisdom and it is given to me liberally with great measure. Discernment is my constant companion as Your voice leads me in paths of righteousness. I am a hearer and doer of the Word, for I choose obedience over sacrifice.
My heart is consumed with the zeal of the Lord and waits on Him like the deer pants for water. All my fountains are in the Lord and I thirst no more as I worship in spirit and truth. I hear the Shepherd’s voice. I do not listen to another. My ears are open to Him and my heart is not hardened to the voice of the Spirit. All the discarded dreams and seeds of promise are now being resurrected in this day and hour. I will obey and go. I will rise and shine for the glory of the Lord has come. I am Your obedient one. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I have always seen graveyards as the end of the line—as the place of unfulfilled dreams, desires and potential. In the natural they are and the graveyards of dead dreams within me would be the same if it weren’t for You. You are indeed my Resurrection Life and I choose to believe nothing is impossible with You. All it takes is one breath of Your mouth and everything lives…everything is made brand new.
The voice of the enemy likes to take the dry bones and use them against me. He longs for me to doubt Your goodness…Your faithfulness. He wants them to draw the very life and moisture out of my heart and cause me to walk in unbelief. Instead I choose to listen to You and I do so by faith. I believe You are good and that You reward those who seek You…those who trust in Your name. I receive a new freedom today…a new freedom to believe in ways I never have before.
Help me to not look back. Help me to set my face like flint in Your direction…to set my face like flint according to the truth of Your Word. I will not look to the right or to the left. However, I will look to Your promises and declare Your faithfulness. I confess my sin, my failures and receive grace in my time of need. I arise and in the process I am being filled. I arise and I breathe. Amen
Prayer
All things are possible with You. Your right hand upholds me and the seas come and go at Your command. I swing wide the gates of my heart. Nothing is locked or hidden from You. The eyes of my Heart are opened to revelation, wisdom and truth. Every Word hidden in my heart is now bringing forth life, faith, hope and action. Like popcorn over an open flame, all is coming to fullness.
I reject all lies saying my past has hold over my present and future. You hold my future and I live, move and have my being in You. I place all dreams and visions before You. Inject them with life and all my dry bones will live, becoming a great army. You are faithful and true. Amen
Prayer
Father, I thank You for sending Your precious Son as a declaration of Your everlasting love. You are a wonderful Vinedresser and an ever-loving Father. Thank You, Jesus, for Your willingness to give Your life that I might have a place to live. You have provided an abiding place for the here, the now and the life to come. I cling to You, drawing all my strength and love from You. I open my heart wide to receive Your love, mercy, and grace.
Pour the very depths of Your essence into my being, enabling precious fruit to grow, as I follow You in word and deed. Forgive me for not partaking and celebrating the scope of Your provision. I will remain forever Yours, an example of enduring love. Sit my feet upon the rock, a permanent, unshakable foundation. Create a steadfast spirit within me.
Holy Spirit, teach me how to abide with all my heart, realizing a deeper communion than I have ever experienced before. You are so practical, yet at the same time, so holy—a touchable awesome God. In the midst of my many failures and blunders I find myself closer to You as You forgive me and wash me in Your cleansing blood. I am here, Jesus, to abide, to receive, to give and be complete in You. You are my hiding place and I love You so. Help me; grace me to always abide in You. Amen
Prayer
Lord God, I praise You for You are the Master Gardener of all time. The first garden was created by you for the habitation of man. All attention and care was given to the formation of the earth and creation demonstrated the beauty of Your heart for the universe to see.
Your heart overflows and pours out fountains of glory and fragrance…pours out verdant shades and hues of color…pours out sounds and shapes representing every aspect of Your multi-faceted being until the whole earth blooms in diverse arrays of color, sound and light. All of time is infused with Your glorious essence.
Though You created all these things it was not enough…though roses and lilies were arraigned in beauty greater than that of all the kings of the earth it was not enough…you wanted me…desired to be with me and prepared a way for me. Out of the muck and mire of a world given to sin, you plucked me…you plucked me out of its midst to prune me, train me and arrange me like a bouquet of many colors, sounds and smells. You called me your pearl of great price before there was a day in my mother’s womb. You loved me before I ever was and chose to make me a portion of Your heart.
You created me and You know how to prune me in order to make me to grow into the most fruitful and beautiful creation You designed me to become a reflection of your image and glory when you first breathed the breath of life into Adam…when you first spread out the starry host.
Good and trustworthy One, please trim and prune me into whatever shape you desire. Make me a bush where others come to rest or make me one who trails along tight and parallel ways. The choice is Yours and I submit to it. I am listening and I am willing to work together with You to make my garden grow in the ways of Your heart and Your desire. I will not give up when my fruit is not visible or when all things look dead to the eye. I will continue on to take care of all You have given me as I co-labor with You. I am your garden. I am your pearl of great price and You are mine.
I am listening to You Lord. I desire to work together with You to make my garden grow in the way You desire it to be. I will not give up on that which seems to have no fruit; I will continue to take care of that which you have given me charge over in the garden. I love You Lord. Amen.
Prayer
Father, I say yes and amen to your Word to me. I will set aside the time to be in Your presence and listen for the songs You are singing over me. Please open my ears to hear the words You sing. I am longing to hear Your words to me. I am hungry for Your life-giving words. Nothing else is as important as hearing from You, so please help me to live my life in the reality of this. How I want to delight Your heart and give You joy in the same way You delight me and give me such joy.
Please forgive me when I let earthly pleasures detract from time spent with You. Please help me to set aside time daily just too simply enjoy being in Your presence and listen to your love songs as they are sung over me.
Thank you for being my rock…my fortress and my strong tower to which I run. I am completely safe in You. Help me to rest in the knowledge of my position in You. When all the things around me seem to be shaking in the midst of life’s storms, help me to realize I must have my feet on the Rock. I must keep my feet on solid ground. When I do this You won’t let anything overcome me. Thank you Father. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, You are so attentive to my prayers and You hear me before my lips have a chance to speak. I am more than a sparrow to You. I am the love of Your life. Your creation shouts words of love to me. Help me to notice the depth of Your beauty and be content in You. I have a heart of child like faith and you honor me. My heart is a rejoicing heart full of abundant praise. .
You have displayed so much beauty before me. Your love covers me. Your blood forgave my sins and my tears are an offering. Pour them back over my life and sing over me today as I lift up my song of praise to You, O lover of my soul. Rain is falling upon my upturned face. I am Your reservoir of unlimited love. Amen
Prayer
My heart and thoughts are submitted to the Lord. I reject the lies of the enemy at first consideration. My believing heart is unfolding and growing into a stalwart of courageous faith. I reach my hand into the crack in the sky one more time and I am greeted with an open heaven. Everything the Lord is has been given to me. I believe and receive I am a water-walking conqueror through Christ Jesus my Lord.
As a conqueror I take every thought captive and subject it to the Word of Truth. I do not fight against flesh and blood but against the enemy in high places. Therefore, I refuse to be bound by negative, condemning or accusatory thoughts. I release others in my life from all critical and judgmental attitudes. I release myself and others. Forgiveness and victory are mine. More than a conqueror I am. Amen
Prayer
I acknowledge Your presence and the host of heaven attending You have come to do Your bidding in my life. I adjust my focus and set my face like flint in Your direction, according to the word spoken to me this day. I choose to remember all the good things You have done and are doing. I feed on Your acts of kindness with a heart of gratefulness while my heart cries out for more of You, more of Your presence. You are good and Your love toward me is never ending. Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your words of encouragement have touched my heart beyond measure. It is my greatest desire to fulfill all You have planned for me. Your Word has created pools of refreshing life within my being where I can lay and rest when storms or opposition comes. When I ponder Your love and patience for me, my patience grows for those around me. I am a dispenser of Your tender heart with kindness, gentleness and a good temper. Patience and long-suffering are my opportunities to walk in a way truly representing Your heart of humility. Thank you. Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your truth sets me free in every area of my life. I embrace truth, forgiveness and freedom. Embracing all these things creates a place of abiding rest in me. Leaning into You is my favorite thing to do. Let me hear the beating of Your heart over every situation and circumstance I encounter. You are there working while I sleep, for not one moment of my life goes unnoticed by You. Help me to see this, to know this. I receive the fruition of seeds long ago planted and I declare life over every promise of God in my life. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I realize that time is of the essence. Each minute as it passes by is never to return, and I know they are gifts from you. Help me to become more aware of how the time slips by while I am unaware. I desire to see time as You do Lord, and to show You I too value each minute and spend it wisely. I have heard time is short. Help me to move into the areas You desire me to be in and to accomplish all that You would have me to walk in. Remove from me any areas of resistance Lord and enable me to be a yielded vessel going in the right direction. Thank You for being sovereign and may have Your perfect will done in my life. I am grateful that You know the deep places in my heart and still love me without question. Thank You for being my Lord and my friend. I Love You Lord. Amen
Prayer
Father…Papa…Daddy… My heart cries with wonder and amazement…it cries out sighs of love and joy, as I humble myself before You and Your mighty love. You are so wonderful to have invited me to come and be with You for eternity through the sacrifice of one You love so much. You are indeed my Gift-giver…my Beautiful One full of mercy and grace. How I love You with a heart of exalted adoration.
Please forgive me for all the times I have been negligent in reciprocating love…for all the times I have found other things more worthy of my time than You. I call You my Treasure…my Pearl of Great Price and I will cling to You and You alone. I embrace the thoughts and intents of Your heart and I am changed.
Thank you for sharing Your heart, Your dreams, and Your plans. There are not words powerful enough to give the honor due Your name. I can never praise You enough as I thank you for revealing to me Your purpose in my life. I desire with all that is within me to birth all You desire to birth through me. Therefore, I praise You for the resurrection power now being manifested in my life. Surely You have called me out from all that is dead while I am yet living. You are the Waymaker…You are my Waymaker and I follow after You now and all of eternity. Amen
Prayer
Lord, many have spoken against me at one time or another. Some have had more power to hurt me and cause me to defend myself in ungodly ways. I forgive them and release them from anything I have held against them. I bless them with Your Word and heart. I choose not to let the negative reactions of my heart to perpetuate things in my life or the lives of others.
I reap what I sow and I want to reap a good crop of blessings. I surrender my heart, my emotions and allow You to work complete forgiveness in my heart. In doing this, I will be more prepared in days to come when offenses come my way. I keep my heart pure and You contend on my behalf. The battle belongs to You.
I think on whatever is pure, lovely and upright and only good words, beneficial to the hearer, comes out of my mouth. I eat the Word and it sets me free from the lies and temptations of the enemy. Because of this, unparallel blessings are manifest in my life. Amen
Prayer
Father I praise you for I am growing like a cedar, strong and majestic showing Your glory to the world. I am so thankful You have given me favor with You. Although this is very foreign to me based on some of the things I have experienced, I choose to receive Your favor in my own eyes so I can in turn see myself as You see me.
In receiving all You have for me, I am able to see others in a whole new light and truly love my neighbor as myself. I reach out to You Lord and touch You by faith embracing all You desire to reveal to me. The ears of my heart are open. I listen with an obedient heart to all Your promptings and encouraging words of love. You abide in the depths of my spirit and flow out of me in streams of living water…water which speaks the desire of Your heart for my life and the lives of others.
Yes, I praise You for You always near to me, for You truly are in me as I am in You. By faith I hear Your every word with clarity more and more as the day pass. My trust and confidence in You are growing continually as I seek Your face and meditate on Your word. Thank you for watching over Your Word to perform it according to Your plan for my life. I see Your powerful hand being revealed on a daily basis and I am grateful. Thank You for opening the eyes of my heart and letting me see what You see. In doing this I am able to enter into that deep and intimate communion with You, for I am truly and unconditionally loved. Amen.

Prayer
Lord, I am so grateful that you have gone before me to prepare a way…to prepare a way on the mountains and in the valleys. I do not live by sight but by faith. I trust Your goodness to manifest itself in all areas of my life and in every circumstance both good and bad. You alone make me stand and give me the strength to endure. I do not fight according to my might but according to the Spirit.
When things don’t seem to go the way they should, sometimes the first place I look is to me. What have I done wrong? How could I have done better? The accuser of the brethren is always ready to try and point out faults. The fact is, sometimes…a lot of time it simply doesn’t have anything to do with me at all. I think this way because I forget how You see me…forget who I am in You.
Therefore, today I am going to set my face…my attitude…my thoughts…my hopes and everything I feel on the Rock and declare I will not be dismayed. I will relax in the rest You have provided for me. You know my coming and my going. Nothing is too hard for You and my steps are ordered by You. The winter moments of my life are but for a season. Spring is emerging in new and powerful ways. I receive the rains to soften my heart with gentle administrations of love. I receive the rains of cleansing to wash away the dust of yesteryear. I bask in the rain of Your presence and rest in the love of Your heart as shades of green emerge in my life. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, forgive me and cleanse me of all unwillingness to walk in a repentant and humble heart. When I refuse to repent I walk in pride. You oppose pride and give grace to the humble. I receive Your grace. Help me to not get in a hurry or to be slow in responding to Your promptings. Work in my heart line upon line and precept upon precept in order to make me into a building with good foundations and strong walls. Teach me to leave the digging up to You. Open my eyes to see the treasure, to focus and hunt for treasure instead of stones. Open my eyes to see the treasure in others as well and when I do they will be edified. I acknowledge that You are contending with my enemy and all I have to do is agree with You.
I take the Word and decree it over my own heart. My heart is soft and pliable in the Lord’s hands, soft and pliable on the Lord’s potter wheel. I have a heart of soft flesh and not stone responsive to the slightest impression of the Spirit. I have a new heart and a new identity in the Lord. My heart is an open tablet and holds only the Words of the Father’s heart. Yes, Lord, continue to write upon my heart. Amen
Prayer
I open my heart to Your faith, to Your love. I confess; I am a beautiful vessel of honor created for Your good pleasure. I am created to walk out a good work in the earth, to walk out an expression of You. O’ what a wonder it is to be considered a pleasure of Your right hand. Your right hand upholds me, does valiantly on my behalf and holds an imprint of my name. There is no pride in this, only acceptance of who You say I am. I am enabled, encouraged and I stand to fulfill destiny and purpose.
Restoration and perfection of all things is here. I receive a restorative move of Holy Spirit in my life. I arise and proclaim to the past, the present and the future Your redemptive work. All ties and bondages of the past generations are being exposed and removed. My family is translated from darkness to light. Everything is shifting and what has not yet shifted will. Arise O’ God, and my enemies are scattered. Amen
Prayer
Not only do I lie down in green pastures, I am a green pasture created by the Word of God hid in my heart. Peace and contentment are being formed in the very depths of my being. Because of this peace I sleep in the storms of life without being afraid. I am resting in words of mercy and grace. His Word is shielding me day and night.
There is no room for offense in me. The Word is hid in my heart and creates a future and a hope. My heart, my earth is like a well watered field and springs forth with lush vegetation and my valleys are full of grain. I rest in the green pasture of the Lord and I am a green pasture for others to rest in. I am the sheep of His hand. Amen
Prayer
Father, you have blessed me to be a blessing and I will give as You have given to me. Every aspect of my heart and life are touched by You. I receive Your wisdom and discernment in every area of my life. May I love wisdom and cherish its great work in my life. All I turn my hand to in You is successful. You are not stingy and gave me eternal life in Jesus to prove it. I am Your abiding place, a temple of Your presence. My heart is not greedy and is content with whatever situation I find myself in, for I trust in your goodness to me. You never leave or forsake me; therefore, I have all abundance. You are more than enough. Amen
Your unfailing love never ceases! It never, ever comes to an end! Everything about You is new ever morning. I am completely and utterly loved by You, Lord each and every moment of my life. There is no exception. Your love is extravagant and without fail. My heart is open today to receive and experience the fullness of Your love in every dimension. I am liberated and freed by this kind of unlimited, unfathomable love. Establish my heart in a deeper place. Take me to the uttermost parts of Your great love. I contain the thoughts and intents of Your heart and I can know Your love. It is shed abroad in my heart and sings for joy. I am loved. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I look at my life and actions sometimes and wonder how I can be made in Your image. Yet, You say I am. Therefore; I choose to agree with You and thereby, enable myself to walk in all You say I can and will. I am Your representative in and on Earth. I am a living example of Your image to those around me…an oasis to the needy and hurting. My focus is on You and You alone.
I tell my heart to be of good courage and to have faith. I break agreement with any lie to the contrary, lies forming a smoke screen aimed at fooling me in to believing otherwise. I break all covenants with guilt and shame. Instead, I embrace conviction by Holy Spirit and receive the freedom and liberty given to me by the blood of Christ.
Stir my heart to remember all the good things You have accomplished in and through me. This is not pride but it is Your testimony in my life and has power to engender faith, hope and love. Stir me to remember all the times I have overcome by faith and endured to times of victory and I will be encouraged. Yes, stir me to remember who I am in You.
For, when I abdicate who You say I am, not only do I loose, but all those around me loose. I take the dominion You gave Your life for and I choose to walk in it by faith. I tell shame and guilt to flee, for I am walking in complete grace and forgiveness. Today is a new day of light and revelation. There is no time to waste on petty self-incrimination. I choose to forgive and let all inadequacies fall by the wayside as I embrace the Light of Your Word. I am Your representative. I am Your plan. Thank you for choosing me. Amen
Prayer
Lord, please forgive me for looking more at what I do not have than what You have done for Me, starting with the Cross. First and foremost You have given me eternal life. For this alone, I am most grateful . . . . I thank you for choosing without hesitation to lay down Your life on my behalf. Open my eyes to see and know all You have done for me. Put a guard upon my lips and anoint my speech with thankful praise. You have removed my sin as far as the East from the West, never to return.
Trials and suffering do not negate Your goodness or Your willingness to act on my behalf. Create in me a clean heart and a steadfast spirit that I might forever walk with a thankful heart. I come into Your courts today with thanksgiving and praise for the salvation of my soul. I come to behold You with a grateful heart. I come to recline at Your table. I come to sup with You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your goodness toward me is beyond measure. Every time I think I know how much You love me, I find I don’t have a clue. Even when I fail, You look on the motive of my heart as I endeavor to walk according to Your ways. Often I am harder on myself than You would ever be. Teach me to give myself the same grace You give me. Teach me to forgive myself as You have forgiven me.
I pray that the depth of Your great love and the beauty of Your Word will settle down and abide in my heart to such a great extent that I will never despair, but like You, endure until the end. I receive Your tenacious and persevering strength and I stand. I open my heart wide and ask You to stir my spirit and heal my soul of anything prohibiting my growth in You. You never give up and neither will I. I surrender to Your Spirit and forsake my own might and power. I lay it all down and I behold You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You are my strength and my song. Your name is above all other names and I run into Your strong tower where I am safe from my enemies. You spread Yourself over me like the heavens cover the earth. I am enclosed within Your canopy of love and protection. Your goodness surrounds me like a thick blanket. Every moment of my day is held within Your gaze for I am loved with an everlasting love. Whom shall I fear when You are on my side?
Fill my heart with the wonder of Your majesty. Let my heart be a creative expression of Your heart. Stir the creative gifts placed within me that I might represent a visible picture of You to all I meet. How I long for my heart to beat at the same pace as Yours to express all the beauty You are. I come under Your wings and relish these moments with You. Amen
Prayer
I surrender my thoughts to the Word of God. I take every thought rising up against the Word of God captive. Every disappointment I give to You at its very inception, before it has time to grow into discontentment, bitterness or resentment. Little disappointments build line upon line so I am on guard and tell them to flee as I embrace Your peace. I trust in You and You alone.
I do not trust in my own abilities to fix anything. I trust only on Your Word and wisdom. I choose to have a thankful heart in all things for I am like You. I forgive myself and others. I release myself and all others from blame for there is no condemnation in You. I am an overcomer. I rest in You.
Prayer
Father, please help me to do only what You are doing and say only what You are saying. Draw me close as I draw near to you and my eyes will be fixed on You. Let my heart be captivated and ravished by Your great love and increase my desire to spend more time with You.
I declare that I am one who is learning to rest in You. I am one who is doing things in Your strength only and not in my own strength or according to what I think. Your Word is supreme and has precedence over my own thoughts. My thoughts are focused on whatever is pure, lovely and upright. My mouth speaks only that which edifies me and others to bring spiritual enlightenment according to the Word by the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that Your yoke is indeed easy…is indeed light; therefore, I choose to not be yoked to anything or anyone You don’t want me to. I trust that if I do become yoked in anyway You will tell me and I will respond with an obedient trusting heart. This I know, You only want the best for me and know exactly how much I can bear…how much I can take. A bruised and bended reed You do not break. You never overload me with more than I can handle. Thank You for Your love and for taking such great care of me as I rest in the secret place of Your heart…in the palm of Your hand. Amen.
Prayer
Lord I speak to you. I call your name, Jesus. I say it over and over until peace floods my soul with cascading rivers of grace. I run to you. I hide in the secret places of your heart. Keep a tight grip on me. Never let me go. You are the delight of My very being. I pursue you with an overwhelming grateful heart of love. I embrace the Cross and the priceless blood You gave on my behalf that I might be with You…be with You…love with You. You are my all in all.
Everything I have experienced has drawn me close to you and therefore worthwhile. You paid such a high price. How can I disregard such a gift by ever thinking less of myself and not agreeing that I am a pearl of great price to You? Forgive me. I open my heart to hear Your words of love and I open my mouth and I sing Your praise.
I speak your name over and over and over. I say, “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus….Jesus. There is no other name I would rather say…no other love I would rather bask in. I give my heavy burdens to you in exchange for peace and communion. I will not let any burden or heaviness rob my intimacy with You, Lord. I hope in Your unfailing love. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I set my face to the mountain from whence my help comes from. I set my face into the wind of Your presence and receive the breath of Heaven released from the corridors of Your heart. Shift and change every portion of my life and cause it to move within streams flowing from Your throne. Let me feel Your presence at my back, pushing me forward on the paths You have set before me.
Reveal to me every rigid attitude I hold onto for self-protection or rely on for self-preservation. All it takes is one breath from Your mouth, one touch of Your hand and all things are made new. Help me to see that there is no circumstance, situation or person to difficult for You. All things are possible with You and Your right hand does valiantly on my behalf. I let go and turn my face into the wind as it kisses my heart with Your whispers of love. I live and move and have my being in You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, show me the little foxes that so easily beset me in order to draw me away from You out of fear, shame, and guilt or for any other reason. Teach me the power found in the simplicity of speaking Your name throughout the course of my days. I depend on Your name, for it is above all names. There is no other by which man can be saved or overcome.
I declare I am one who draws into Your presence through the power of Your Word and with a heart of worship. My heart is a heart which worships as David worshiped. I let go of the little foxes and the past which so enticingly calls to me in order to divert me from the path You have set before me. I will not be deterred. I set my face like flint and will not be dissuaded from the course You have set me on. I draw Living Water into the depths of my being. Your Word gives me life and refreshes my soul. The past is the past and I relinquish all negative holds it has on me. I resist the devil (the little foxes), submit to You and the foxes flee—they scatter to the four winds and I am free. Shame, guilt or fear has no power over me. This happens for I am in hot pursuit of You and You are in hot pursuit of me. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I tremble at the power of Your word. My heart is full of adoration when I think on You or the mighty deeds You have done. The trembling of my heart at Your Word causes wellsprings of life to flow from me. I release worship to You and it rises to condense the clouds of heaven and pours back over me, bringing revelation to my spirit, my heart.
When I am dry and weary remind me to open my mouth and create rain through the power of exalted praise. Lord, I choose to sow worship and reap the benefits flowing from the portals of heaven. I lift all my doubts and insecurities up to heaven to be carried on the wings of praise to Your throne. Today I choose to draw aside and be with You, to abide in You. Let the building process begin afresh and anew in my life. Amen

Prayer
Lord, please forgive me for believing any lies about You…for doubting Your faithfulness because of my own failings or the unfaithfulness of others. I understand the enemies desire to steal, kill and destroy all with which You have blessed me. This is nothing new. However, because of Your loving words of affirmation, I am more aware of the enemy’s actions in this endeavor. Believing his accusations causes me to plant seeds of doubt and unbelief which lead to hopelessness. Hope in you Lord, does not disappoint. I choose to stay my mind on You and the fruitfulness of Your undying love. There is no other way…nothing else is profitable.
Help me to continue to be aware of the enemy’s devices. I understand he will attempt to sabotage, undermine and destabilize any and all areas of my life if he can. I see the world being shaken, and the destabilization of our economy as well as our government. This can easily give way to fear should I take my eyes off of You and the truth of Your word. Yes, my eyes are set on You Lord. In the midst of darkness, You translated me into the Kingdom of Light and call me a son of God created to bring forth fruit.
Thank You for helping me to walk in the Spirit and not after the flesh, enabling me to bring forth one hundred-fold fruit. May my garden reflect the beauty of the Perfect Gardener, as You prune away all that is unfruitful. How I desire to bring You Glory in all I do and say. How I desire to walk according to all You already know I am. Therefore, I will cooperate with You to bring to the surface all hidden things capable of producing bad fruit. Manifest and destroy every work of the enemy in my life. Enable me…strengthen me that I may walk in Your perfect will all my days…that my whole heart be surrendered for Your service. Amen.
Prayer
What a pleasure to be so loved by You. I am the joy of Your heart. My heart is responsive to Your declarations of love and rejects all lies of the enemy relating to guilt and shame. There is no shame in You for Your blood has redeemed me from the pit. I am seated in the heavenlies with You. I am one who drinks deeply from Your presence and do not lack. I hear what the Spirit is saying and walk according to Your words. My eyes and ears are opened by Your touch. I can see myself as You see me. How awesome it is to reflect on how I fill Your heart with glee. Come and pour into the very depths of My expectant heart. I am here. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You have made me unique and special. I am like no one else who is or ever will be. You fashioned me with great care in the secret places of my mother’ womb for a specific purpose. Self-pity and critical thinking come when I compare myself to others and let the enemy of my soul have place. I reject all self-pity and critical attitudes. Forgiveness of myself and others reigns supreme in my life. Holy Spirit, please forgive me where I have grieved You by walking according to my own understanding and not Your leading. Moment by moment my heart is being healed and every aspect of my life is coming into alignment with the Word and the love of Father. I am a chosen vessel who fully expresses a heart of gratitude and praise. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I am indeed your beautiful one and the desire of Your heart. Sometimes when I look at the things I do and ponder the things I think, it seems so hard to agree with Your assessment of me. I choose to take You at Your Word for I am a new creation in Christ. I do not belong of this world. I may live here; but, I am not of here. My citizenship is in Heaven. I am a whole new creature…a whole new species. My life is hidden in Christ and I am new.
Help me to shift my ways of thinking about You. Help me to realize how close You really are. You are not just far off in some distant place. There is no distance between us for You abide in the depths of me…in my spirit. My soul is being sanctified…is being purified and made whole, healed and delivered. The fullness of the Godhead dwells in me; therefore, the very heart and full potential of all You are is in me. I lack no good thing for I have all of You.
Therefore, I cast all my cares…all my performance based mentality…all my hopes and dreams on You. I give you everything and I come into Your Presence and experience grace…experience the gentle breezes of Your overwhelming love. I come to listen…to hear the beating of Your heart for my life. I come to receive wisdom, knowledge, revelation and understanding into the plans You ordained for my life. I come to receive well-timed help. I shed the troubles of this life…the cares of this life like a snake sheds its skin and I grow into the person You say I already am. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, You have done so very much for me, more than I can ever imagine or dream. You understand every pain and suffering, whether they be physical, emotional or spiritual. Having been separated from Your father in those tormenting moments on the Cross, when the weight of all sin was upon You, enables You to understand when I feel far from You. You know the longings of my heart and understand every struggle and temptation I am faced with. Teach me to cry out Your name with the anticipation that You will come running to me immediately without reserve.
I break agreement with the spirits of fear, guilt, shame and condemnation brought by the enemy of my soul and I embrace forgiveness and restoration. Every trespass or unprofitable thing in my heart is revealed by the tender-hearted conviction of Holy Spirit and I respond with repentance. In repentance I receive cleansing and forgiveness. I receive power to let go of my failures and embrace the truth of Your Word. I turn my eyes away from the lies of the enemy and all past failures to gaze on the beauty of the Lord. In doing this I am changed, transformed into the image of Christ. Amen
Prayer
Like the song”s words, ‘On a clear day you can see forever” I can see. The eyes of my understanding are opened. Revelation and wisdom flow from You to me. As Moses passed away— as John the Baptist passed away and made way for a new thing so my old ways pass away. I receive the Light of Your Word and I exchange all the lies I believed in AND exchange for Your truth. In doing this, I will come to embrace the full identity of a life hidden in You…a life set apart for your glory.
Lord I am indeed new and I am becoming new each and every day. The veil is rent and I have access to see You and Your plans for me. As I embrace Your Word I am not afraid of failure nor am I unqualified. You and You alone have made me qualified. You alone are my Strong tower…my Refuge and I receive all You have to give, for surely my cup overflows with rivers of the Living Water that flows from your heart—from Your throne.
Lord, I choose to arise for my faith is an overcoming faith. Old things are even now continuing to pass away and I am new…I am completely fulfilled in You. The only power the opinions of others have over me is what I give them and I choose to give credence to only what You say in Your Word. My destiny…my purpose are fulfilled by You and my submission to Your truth. My destiny is fulfilled in and by you as I, like Paul. choose to allow the scales of hindrance which include unbelief, unforgiveness, pride or any other sin fall away as I receive mercy and grace…mercy and grace for myself and for those around me. I embrace a life full of the demonstration of power in Your name. Promised Land here I am. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I am forever grateful to You my God and my Deliverer! Thank You for liberation made possible by all You sacrificed. You and only You could open the prison doors of my heart. Thank You for giving me keys to the secret place where I can be with You.
I will go forth and help others to be set free that they too can come into Your presence and experience the joy of freedom. I come into agreement with You and praise You for the outcome of all that I am doing in advance. Come Holy Spirit and consume me with the fire and zeal of the Holy One. Come and I will be changed and when the world looks at me they will see You. My greatest desire is to reflect You in all that I am and all that I do so that others will be drawn to You. I dare to believe I am all You have said I am regardless of my own thoughts, circumstances or the words of men. I dare to think…to believe beyond all limitations and declare this day and forever all things are possible for You are my God. Amen
Prayer
Lord, awaken my heart to the fullest measure of abounding grace found in Christ. I have been translated from a mentality of poverty and lack to a life of faith according to the riches I have been given in Christ Jesus. Forgive me for disparaging myself or others; thereby, devaluing the precious gifts You placed in me. I let go of any old ways of thinking and doing related to the old life. I understand my spirit is born again and therefore perfect in You. The things of my flesh are being dealt with day by day until they fall away in the light of Your glory and grace. Thank you for being ever so patient with me.
Help me to see…to have revelation in relation to what it means when You speak my name. I can see it even now. I can see You speaking my name and as You do the beauty of who I am in You…the beauty of who You made me to be is expressed in ways I cannot even fathom. It is like you release me…release my personality to be a manifest expression of Your DNA which I am formed from. Ahh….the beauty…the glory…the majesty of hearing You speak my name. May it forever change my life till it lines up with the vision of Your heart. Change me from the inside out for I am undone.
Yes, I let go…I take my hands off the wheel and dare to believe I can fall into grace…fall into mercy…fall into the secret places of safety and provision in you…fall into the soil of Your heart where I will be forever rooted and grounded in love. You are indeed my hiding place for my new life…my real life is hidden forever in You. Amen.
Prayer
Father, thank You once again for choosing me…for choosing that I may grow and bring forth much fruit. As seeds in the natural realm are full of potential and life giving nutrients, the seeds You have placed in me have the same. You are the Great Seed…the Great I Am and You dwell in me.
Therefore, as I meditate on Your Word and the watering of Your word in my garden, Your seeds of life, purpose and destiny will flourish bringing life to all those around me. I realize my words have the potential to multiply and bring forth fruit both good and bad. Help me to remember to take captive all my negative thoughts and words which have the power to multiply and bear unrighteous fruit.
I praise You for the gift of salvation and the reality that You took me out of the kingdom of darkness and brought me into the Kingdom of light, so that I can bring forth good fruit. I declare that I will bear good fruit for my heart and soul is grasping a hold of the truth of God’s Word. I am rooted and grounded in the soil of salvation…in the soil of love and I grow upward. Amen.
Prayer
Truly You have delivered me from the kingdom of darkness, and translated me into Your kingdom of Light. I praise You for You have made me alive unto God. Because of Your richness in love and mercy You have saved me by faith through grace. I praise You for You have no limits, no weaknesses, and there is no shadow of turning in You. I can trust You for You cannot lie.
I dare to believe You Lord, no matter what my senses tell me to the contrary. Today is the day I rejoice in You and give You thanks for all You have already done. Help me to understand in a revelatory way what it truly means to an alien in the world. Help me to experience this truth in a way that is relevant and pertinent to my everyday life.
I desire to be drawn into the secret places of your heart where wisdom, discernment and revelatory knowledge dwell. May all darkness be separated from me through the light of Your manifest Word in my life. Help me to grasp it…cling to it and ingest until I radiate with Your image from the inside out. Yes, I choose to walk in Your ways…to walk in light and love and not the ways of the kingdom of darkness for I am seated with You in heavenly places forever. Amen.
Prayer
Lord put me in remembrance of every word I have spoken to those I love and help me to let go of them. Help me to see others the way You see them and avoid the tendency to be critical or judge in any way. You framed and formed the worlds with Your words and so do I. I bring my heart into agreement with Your Word and declare my lips are anointed with kindness to speak Your will. I choose life and not death. I choose hope and not fear. The words of my mouth bring order to chaos in my life and the lives of others. As I plant Your Word in my heart I am changed from the inside out. I am like You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You are the keeper of every plan of destiny in my life. Before I was born, strands of my purpose were contained in the DNA of Your heart. There is a strand of DNA just for me to become, to fulfill. Like the great building blocks of mankind, You have formulated one uniquely made just for me. Each moment of my life overlaps the other and creates intricate beauty in ways not understood by man. You work all things for my benefit, and for the benefit of Your Kingdom. I am an intrinsic part of Your DNA and an expression of Your heart in the earth.
I wait patiently on You in all I do and say. My heart is attentive to Your voice and does not follow another. In doing this, I am not tempted to run ahead. The plans You have for my live are unfolding day by day and I will wait and do, wait and do. I will wait and do in the midst of the breath of heaven. Breathe on me today. Amen
Prayer
No enemy can withstand the mighty presence of Your name Lord. The enemy flees in all directions at the mention of Your name. There is no fear in You. Victory is the only option. Success is the only outcome. I walk in favor and the great demonstration of Your love each and every day. I have strength, favor, hope and a sure guarantee and I know you will never leave or forsake me in the presence of my enemy. You defend me, contend for me and protect me. I am Yours. While I eat at Your table in the presence of my enemy, You rise up on my behalf. Let signs and wonders fill my life as an example of Your favor and love. I come to the table with a heart of courage that I may be filled. Amen
Prayer
Lord, today I make a great exchange with you. I exchange the opinions and words of men for Your truth about my life and purpose. I also give You all my own misguided opinions and assessments of my own self in every area, from relationships to my own personal walk with You. Take me to the heights of understanding and revelation about my future and my hope in You.
Since the Lord is for me, no one can be against me. He contends against my enemies and fights on my behalf. I hold up His Word as a standard with a heart of faith and the enemy flees. My value is not determined by the affirmation of men but the affirmation and love of the Lord. I step forward into the very promises of God and they are “yes” and “amen” for me and my family. I have a whole new objective, a whole new life. Amen
Prayer
Lord, today and from this day forward I desire to live on permanent vacation in Your heart through a lifestyle of relationship and not obligation or drudgery. All work and no play make Jack a dull boy and I do not want to be dull. If I am dull, I am no help to myself, to those I love or to a dying world.
By faith, I enter into Your Presence in every way. I experience you on the inside and the outside. I have access to all of who You are at all times. My access is not limited to seasons of obedience and victory. Lord, You have made a way for Me even in the dark nights of my soul…in the times of sickness and leanness of provision and in times of great abundance when I have a tendency to forget because it seems I have all I need.
I declare this is the day I break away from all bondage in relation to religion and the law. I am one given to grace. I am a new creature with a whole new address, Graceland. I am connected to the vine through Jesus, the one I abide in. The beauty of my life is unfolding and, not only will I vacation in the Lord’s heart; I will be a vacation of rest and refuge for others as well.
Lord, I am one who loves You with all my heart, soul and mind. I am one who loves my neighbor as myself. I am one who forsakes the abundance of worldly things and the busyness of life to abide in the vine. I am one who chooses to let go, forgive and honor. I am a ravished and thirsty heart on permanent vacation in the Lord’s heart. Amen.
Prayer
I am amazed at Your great Love. You chose me even before the worlds were formed. You chose me and made way for me in Your beloved son, Jesus. What more could I ask for. How much more abundance could I desire. You are truly more than enough and when I have you I have everything. I choose to receive the riches of heaven by faith today. I am your son according to the kind intention of Your will. You desired me and gave all to have me. My inner man boasts in you and expresses itself with a voice of praise. You are my more than enough. Amen
Prayer
Lord, my heart and life hold on to the beauty of who you are. I immerse myself in You in order to increase from the inside out. I immerse myself in You, cling to You and the unity of our hearts beating together will create a new sound in my life. Let the sound of our intimate relationship reverberate through my life and into the lives of those I love…those I come in contact with. I do indeed receive your grace to shift in this time and season. I am infused and immersed in Your grace…in Your mighty love. I dance with You. There is no one else I would rather have. I love you. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I exalt Your mighty name and praise You forever. I declare Your goodness in the land of the living and thank you for the unfolding of my life and dreams You have shared with me. Thank You for making a way where there was no way by paying the price at Calvary. You rent the veil and made a way for me to enter the Holy of Holies where Your presence dwells. It is there that I find joy. It is there, in Your presence that I may dream Your dreams and see Your visions. Thank You for being ever present with Your heart extended to me. I receive Your power to be about Your business here on earth. I choose to release all the dreams of my heart and praise You for my destiny and Your purpose as they unfold day by day. May the dreams of my heart and Your heart be released in such a way as to enrich the lives of men and women until they are affected for the good for all eternity. Amen
Prayer
Father, it is hard not to lean on my own understanding. Yet as I look upon You and Your awesome beauty, I realize I cannot comprehend how wonderful and mighty You really are. I realize I am truly made in Your image and that is unexplainable. I grasp for words to describe the love in my heart for all that You have done. I too am a partaker of the breath You breathed into Your first creation.
When You said all You created was good it included me though I was not yet born. This is something I long to have a deeper revelation of…to know beyond a shadow of doubt. To do so will change how I see not only myself but everyone else.
What an amazing thing to know You knew me before the foundations of the earth. It is hard to believe the reality of Your love and acceptance when I know of all my imperfections and flaws; yet, You loved me so much that You redeemed me from my sins.
Help me to walk in a deeper revelation of the goodness You declare over me, because I am Your workmanship in Christ Jesus. Help me to understand Your special love language…the language of the heart. May I see what You see and understand what You saw so long ago without qualification.
Father, I will not fear what You reveal to me for I know You are Love. Your eyes are fixed on me and My eyes are fixed upon You. Just as an eagle locks talons with its mate as they fall through the air in an act of complete trust, I lock my heart with Yours in one accord. I lock my heart with Yours in the bonds of trust never to be released. As we walk together in the intimate places in the secret Garden of our love, I will see all the beauty of who You are, and who You are making me. I receive the visions of Your heart for me. Amen.

Prayer
Lord, I praise You and I thank You for choosing me. For it is written; many are called but few are chosen. It is a privilege and an honor to be called and chosen by You. Help me Lord to have a heart of revelation concerning You…a heart which understands the reality of how unique and valuable I am.
I am so thankful You chose me even though I have so many faults. Forgive me for being so caught up in my own thoughts concerning my weaknesses and short comings…for becoming so caught up that I become sin conscious and therefore not God conscious.
Thank you for helping me to forgive myself, as well as others. Open my eyes Lord so I am aware not only of a big crisis in my life, but aware of the little things that might otherwise be unnoticed. It is the little foxes…the things often unattended which stand between my intimate fellowship with You. Open the eyes of my heart to the fullness of who You are. Today I choose to focus on You and not on myself. My mind is renewed and I become like what I give my attention to; You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, help me to walk in an assertive, aggressive way when it comes to Your Word. So many other things in my life get my undivided attention and when I really want to do something, I do it. I know it is a fact You can tell what is important to a person by what they do. It is the same with me. Please forgive me for being apathetic in my pursuit of Your Word . . . Your heart.
I take the sponge of my heart and dip it into Your Word . . . into Your presence and I will be changed. I will be made flexible and soft. All the hard places of my heart will be softened and tender according to what I feed them.
When I read and speak the Word, I pray, I will be renewed in such a manner that my whole way of thinking changes. Let Your Word go into the deepest hidden places and for my sake, for the Kingdom’s sake, cut anything away that hinders.
Each time You work in my heart, each time You cut away, I will choose to believe, resist the devil and submit to You. If there be any pride, any wicked way in me, I pray it is revealed and cut away. Your Word in me is a living Word with power and authority. All things in me come into subjection to the Word implanted. I walk by faith and proclaim that my life will manifest the plan of Your heart. I have been made new in You. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You have heard my heart’s desire to walk in an atmosphere of vision and revelation and have answered my prayer. Every moment of every day brings me closer to You no matter what my thoughts or emotions may try and say. I live by faith and rest in the arms of Your unconditional love. I gladly give myself to the task You have ordained for me and I do it without reserve. Give me the courage to fight and the willingness to rest when necessary. Help me to understand the wisdom of having a vertical relationship with You in order to minister to others on the horizontal plane.
As I come to know and understand the beauty You formed with a bit of dust and dirt. I pray I am able to see others with the heart of a child—a heart with the ability to see wonder in their bit of dust and dirt. May I never feel superior in any way and always remember where I come from. I so desire to take the dust of other lives and like a child have vision for all You have created them to be. May my heart never be judgmental or critical in any way.
Lord, I set my face like flint to look full into Your wonderful face, to look fully into Your wonderful Word. I hide it in my heart and become like You. No one can or will do the purpose You created for me and me alone to fulfill. I will not be found asleep at the wheel. You are knocking and I am answering. I say yes and amen to all You say about me and all You ask me to do. Past failures and lack of success have no hold on me. This is a new day in You and I willing come. Amen
Prayer
Lord, help me not to look back. I choose not to look back. Nor will I look to the right or the left. My eyes, my heart are set on You and You alone. There is no other who can satisfy but You. Daily manna is falling from Heaven like rain as my heart contemplates undisturbed in the Lord. I am focused and my face it set like flint. I do not look at the storms, nor do I hear the words of doubt and unbelief the enemy speaks to me. I am ever looking to the mountain from which my help comes from. All is being manifest even while I sleep. Nothing is impossible in my life. There is no such word as HOW when it comes to the Lord. I walk by faith and not by sight. All things are complete in the Lord. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I choose to take a risk, to go beyond anything I have ever known and ride the crest of destiny with You. My eyes scan the horizon of my life to see what You are saying and doing. When I hear and see I will ride the wave of agreement and see all You declare come to pass. I will only ride the waves You ask me too. This is where the power to succeed comes from. It comes because I speak what I hear You say and do what I see You doing.
Dreams of my heart are rising to the surface of the waters of my life and form waves of destiny. I will catch each and every wave and ride it all the way to fruition. I am like You, therefore I overcome with faith. My mind is invigorated and my spirit renewed by the water of Your presence. I come to ride with You and receive all I need. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I abide in You and You abide in me. It is much simpler than I make it. Teach me to listen carefully moment by moment, day by day and I will not be put to shame. I revel in the overflowing of love You are giving to me today and anticipate with great excitement all to come in the days ahead. Even as I cannot imagine a vine without branches, I cannot imagine being without You. I can’t imagine not being connected to Your life-giving flow.
Help me to never depend on my good works for this is self-righteousness and without You I have no righteousness of my own. I cling to You. I abide in You and peace, faith, hope and love are my portion—my fruit—and I stay hidden in You. Hell has no power over me when I am in You. I relinquish all doubt and unbelief. I hear Your voice and I embrace Your truth. I speak Your name and You hear me. You respond to me as my words penetrate all of Heaven and its resplendent and joyous praise. Like an arrow, my words go straight to Your heart. I am Yours and You are mine. I abide in You and You abide in me. Your ear is attuned to my cry. I am here Lord and I am listening for Your response. Let me hear the words flowing from the vine of Your heart.
Prayer
Lord, You are my most excellent dwelling place. You are my shelter…my strong tower and my refuge. I shall not be afraid for you contend on my behalf. While the world rages around me I choose to abide in the beautiful place…on the mountain with the only one who is able to save. The ploys and plans of the enemy are inconsequential to You. Your power will cause Him to flee. All I have to do is stay abiding in You. I invite you into the valleys of my life and ask you to fill them with springs of living water. Come walk the mountains with me and those seemingly insurmountable ones will be cast into the sea as I rejoice in the sovereignty of Your name and person.
I am one who chooses to let go…to forgive others and my own self for I have been forgiven by You. I open up the well-springs of my heart to let you love the unlovable ones through me. Though they have hurt me…ignored me…not supported me and sometimes have even lied about me and to me, I choose to forgive. I choose to believe I can love them only as I allow You to pour Your life out through me. I receive Your help; support, aid and comfort for You do indeed delight in Me. I am Your beautiful one and so are those I struggle with. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I do sense there is change in the air. Freshness has come to the dry and stale places of my heart. As I move out into new realms of faith You will never leave nor will You forsake me. In fact, You draw near with delight and anticipation at the many new discoveries my heart will engage in. You will never let me go, for my face is ever before You. Even now seeds planted in my spirit are growing as they respond to the Word I speak in agreement with You. Light is transforming all darkness of soul into radiant places of abundant harvest.
Let Your Word bury deep within my heart and show me if there be any unclean way in me, any critical or unkind spirit, and I will repent. I will lay aside all critical attitudes and embrace humility with my whole heart. I forgive and I am forgiven. This is the purest form of love. I welcome You and declare that I am a “whom so ever will.” Let the incorruptible seed of Christ in me rise, bubble up and bring life wherever I am, in whatever I do, for I am in You and You are in me. Clothe me in the light of Your glory and I will shine. Amen
Prayer
The Lord is my light and my life. He is my salvation. I trust in Him and Him alone. He is faithful when I am faithless. His kindness is ever directed toward me without fail or judgment. He is all goodness, therefore; His goodness is in me and being perfected in me. I am growing in every attribute of the Lord daily and without fail. I think on the Lord and my thoughts are like His; pure, lovely and upright. All of the instruction and chastening of the Lord in my life is beneficial and bringing about true revelation and understanding. I receive the goodness of the Lord into my life today in every area. Lord your goodness overwhelms me and flows in and out of my life. Amen.
Prayer
I will not give up for I am an overcomer in You. You have won every battle before I even get there. I choose to cooperate with You in this. I clothe myself in Your armor. You have seen my great heart of love and are pleased. I am pleased and confident in You. I am using the Word to tear down every stronghold in my life and those around me. You are faithful and true and so am I, for I am like You. The enemy is disarmed in my life as I submit to You and the Word
Faith is arising in me like a might flood and the enemy is fleeing in every direction. I speak the name Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. I speak the name at which every name bows. I declare You Lord over my life and all it contains. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I stand up in the place You have called me. I arise and I go wherever You send me. I will not delay. I will not look back, nor will I fear, for You have equipped me from the foundations of the world to walk in this day. May I be strong and courageous when I encounter people along the way who need to be set free. Your Word says I hold the thoughts and intents of Your heart, therefore, I can hear and perceive Your Words of tender-hearted for the hurting and dying in the deserts of life.
I receive Your wisdom, revelation and truth and my heart listens patiently for I am like You. My life is an example in word and deed because You have healed me and made me whole. I hear Your voice and I do not follow another. I am sensitive to Holy Spirit and to others. Yes, I receive revelation and wisdom and I GO! Amen
Prayer
I am defended by the Lord. I live within the secret places of the Most High. I abide within the cleft of the Rock, Jesus. He is my hiding place. There is none like Jesus in my life. I ponder and remember all the good things He has done in my life. My heart is thankful, grateful and full of praise to the Lover of my soul. There is no one beside Him. I am perfected in Him; therefore, I do not walk in self-condemnation, shame or guilt.
The Lord has set me free and I am free indeed. His Word, His rod, is now examining my heart, removing all hindrances and filling it with faith, hope and love. All wrong beliefs are fleeing from my thoughts and my soul at the behest of His Word. I pass under the rod of His Word and I am made whole. Amen
Prayer
Lord, it is so exciting to have a good friend and even more so to have a good friend like You that I can completely trust. I just want You to know how much I love You and see You as my very best friend. No one else would have ever loved me so unconditionally regardless of my actions or attitudes. How patient and kind You are…so patient and kind that I long to be just like You in thought and deed.
Lord, I want You to know how much I consider it an honor and joy to know You. You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life and at the same time my friend. How awesome is that? It is so awesome that joy springs up in my heart in such abundance it is hard to contain. How great a gift to know…to really know You as my friend. Like a perpetually bubbling foundation the joy in my heart is ever flowing and running over.
Today, I arise and stand in Your Presence. Today I make a new affirmation to take Your hand and walk with You wherever You lead…wherever You desire. While others are stuck, I will be one who dances with You among my dreams and hopes, knowing You are with me in the midst of them all.
Today, I truly am walking into the glorious freedom of grace, away from all duty, all religious letters of the law and all rigid thinking. I walk out into grace…into mercy…into a kindness which leads to repentance. I do not walk into grace with an excuse to do as I please but with a desire to do as You have bid me to come and do. I serve You, not with a servant heart, but with a heart of a friend which loves at all times.
Lord, I thank you for exposing every plan of the enemy and bringing them to destruction as You are glorified in my life. I desire to dance with You for eternity in worship and praise my Redeemer and Lord…my friend. Amen
Prayer
The enemy always wants me to believe there are things unable to be restored. This is a lie. You restore all things in my life today and every day after. I have forgiven and I forgive in order to walk in perfect peace. I love the Word and I am not easily offended. My heart once damaged by the words and actions of men is healed by Your great love. I give all hidden places, all stony, hard places to You today. Have Your way in my heart completely and without measure. Mercy and grace are my portion. I receive it and I give it to all. The rain of the Lord is penetrating the depths of every hard place, every crack, and every crevice. I have a soft heart full of the Lord. I open myself to You in all fullness. Come! I am ready. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I revel in Your goodness…in your unfathomable grace. I choose for the words of my mouth to line up with the constancy of who You are; the Unchanging One. May I be like David and ask you to search me and see if there be any evil way in me and do so without fear or justification. Create steadfastness in me as I seek You above all things…above all pleasures this world has to offer.
I declare that I am full of Your loving-kindness and fear has no power over me. I am not intimidated by the enemy for I abide in the Lord at all times. My heart is drawn to Him as His is drawn to me. My eyes are focused on the Lord with an unyielding determination. I fall into the abiding Presence of the Lord and am captured by His gaze. Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your Word says we have the mind of Christ and hold the thoughts and intents of Your heart. Therefore, I choose to delve into Your Word and discover who and what You are in a fresh and new way. I choose to speak the Word with my mouth and my spirit will hear and embrace the truth. My mind will comprehend and hold the precepts and revelations held within every syllable of the Word of the Lord. Faith is coming to me because of the Word.
My eyes are set on the Lord and as I gaze into His loveliness, I am changed. I meditate on the precepts of the Lord. I taste and see that He is good. He is my provider, my hope, my sure foundation, and my stronghold in the day of trouble. He is the lily of the valley, the bright and morning star and I delight in Him. His lips drip with honey and His Word is sweet. Healing Oils flow from Him and I am set free. His blood purchased me and set me free from the law of sin and death. He is lovely to behold. There is none like Him. He is waiting for me with open arms to embrace me for I am engraved in the palm of His hand. I am here to gaze and think upon You, Lord. I am here. Amen
Prayer
Lord, with a heart of humble praise, I thank You for the fiery times of my life. Without them I would have never learned of Your faithfulness. These lessons enable me to share with an honest heart the power of Your name. Your anointing has been refined in me and is being refined each and every time I surrender to the burning bushes of Your presence.
I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me at all times. I am not alone, but endued with power from on high. I am the temple of the Living God. I press on no matter what to my high calling in Christ Jesus. I am not afraid and I make no excuses. There is no condemnation in Christ and I do not condemn myself. Instead I confess my sin and I am forgiven. I am cleansed of all unrighteousness. The Lord is my stronghold and I do not lean on the arm of the flesh nor do I cower in corners as one who is unworthy to claim the prize. He has made me worthy and I press on to the victory. I am on the side of the Lord and He is on mine. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I so desire for my heart and my soul to receive such a gift from You…such a sound from Heaven. I long for Your love to swell in my heart like an open gate and pour out of my being with rivers of living water. I know I have had questions that seem to have no real practical answers sometimes. I know all things cannot be grasped with the mind but must be absorbed by the spirit within me. Some of Your Word today seems too grand and I can’t wrap my mind around the simplicity of relationship with You. Teach me to glory in the simple ways…in the simple things.
Always remind me of Your truth and how You see me when I am found to be comparing myself with another. Sometimes instead of rejoicing at the uniqueness of another person’s dance I have been known to feel less than and wonder if I will ever be like them. How silly! You never want me to be like them. If I was I would be them, and that just wouldn’t do.
Prayer
Lord, help me to hear, to see the beauty of my Father in all His fullness. Help me to see His “daddy” heart. For each and every time I gaze into His face, into the Word I am changed. Each time I hear more clearly, see more clearly and understand more deeply. I embrace the “daddy” heart of my heavenly Father and walk in all He says I am. I rest in Him and the glory of His abiding presence. When He smiles I smile. When He laughs I laugh. I only do what I see my Father doing. Therefore, all double-mindedness must flee as I rest in the Word, the truth of who He is and who I am in Him.
Lord, may Your spirit so enlighten me, change me and fill me that I become a living, breathing example of the Father’s daddy heart to all around me. This is my desire, first that I might know You and second that I help others to know You. Let me see Your laugh lines, Your smile . . . let me see Your heart. Amen
Prayer
Father thank You that as I give You all the negatives of My life You give me all the positives of Yours. Please help me not to hold onto things that trouble me and try to work them out Myself but, help me to be quick to turn to You and let You transform My life. Please help me to rest in You and keep My eyes fixed on You so that I am not troubled by the storms surrounding me. In the calm after the storm please help me to rest in You and thank You for all Your many blessings. Please make me more like Jesus so others may want to come to You and enable me to truthfully say as he did that I only do what I see My father doing and only say what I hear My father say. Amen.
Prayer
Search my heart Lord. Show me the pathway to freedom. I put down my own search light and release all areas of my life to You. Forgive me for judging my parents and not walking according to Your words. I ask You to bring every wrong or negative word, thoughts and action to my remembrance. As You remind me, I will lay them down at your feet, Jesus. I will choose mercy and grace. I choose to forgive and honor. To do so, does not mean I should put myself in harm’s way. It does mean I should not hate and let a root of bitterness grown in my heart. Even the most subtle things can make way for wrong roots to grow into an unwanted harvest.
Therefore, I choose to plow up the fallow ground of my heart in response to the conviction of Holy Spirit and not guilt. I will only respond as I am prompted and will not dig up things You are not working on. Reveal to me all I need to forgive line upon line until I am completely free of all resentment, bitterness, anger, guilt and shame.
Even if I experienced hurt or trauma from those who were supposed to love me, You were always aware of my suffering and longed to hold me close. You wanted those around me to demonstrate Your heart; but, some of them were wounded themselves and could not do so. It is not Your desire or heart for anyone to suffer; but, people have a free will which is often not submitted to You. When this happens, there is more death than life.
Lord, I give all my struggles physical, emotional and relational into Your hands. I trust in Your goodness and faithfulness. Surrendering my heart enables me to hear Your voice. I open up the well of my heart. Come, sweet Holy Spirit. I am here. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, in the beginning everything was made possible, everything was planned and carried out with great precision through the power of agreement and praise. I choose to agree with You and declare that I am in no way an ordinary person. There is no partiality with You when it comes to your sons You are gracious and kind to all and Your blood covers, heals and cleanses. You have indeed done it all. You have indeed provided a way where there was no way.
Hover over me today. Let ribbons of grace and mercy surround me, encompassing me within the shelter of Your wings as You overshadow me. Let every wasted, dark or hidden place be penetrated by Your light and transformed by Your presence as it cares for me as a mother cares for her child. I open up with complete trust to let Your perfect love cast out all fear. Deep to deep I will abide as You overshadow me. I am changed. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I give you the simple things in life and the complex things which are hard to understand. I dare not draw on human wisdom in any area of my life. You have put wisdom in my heart and given me Your Word; therefore, I am not without knowledge. However, this does not give me carte blanche to do as I please. I must lean into You…spend time with You in Your Word in order to know the right path in any given situation. I trust Holy Spirit to lead and guide me into all truth as I cling to You…as I abide in You. You are my continual fountain and my ever-present help.
I can hear the sweet voice of Your Presence calling me to sit under the apple tree that I might be nourished in Your Presence. I draw strength, hope and patience from You, the King of Kings. I let the infusion of intimacy regulate the pressures of life and will not give into highs and lows like one does when not properly nourished. The only burning in my heart is my burning love for you. Anxiety and fear have no place under the apple tree.
I declare the goodness of the Lord is my habitation. The Lord is my refuge. He covers me with His wings. I am safe. Help flows from Him to me. The riverbeds of provision are abundant with specific help in times of need and in times of abundance. I walk in the newness of the Lord’s mercy day by day. I am not moved by what I see or feel. I am moved by the rustling of His Presence through the apple tree leaves of my heart. I have come to sit under the apple tree with You, Lord. Amen for I am here. Amen.
Prayer
Father, the very idea of Your every thought being directed at me is overwhelming. Forgive me for concentrating on the frustrations and concerns of this world, on the concerns of my life. You who have counted the grains of sand and declared Your thoughts toward me are more than those astound me with mercy and grace. I receive every thought and I declare I am a willing, receptive, obedient vessel. I am Your friend. You tell Your friends what You are doing. I am listening. I reject all anxious thoughts and put on the armor of God.
You are indeed my righteousness, my savior and my friend. May all my works be born out of love and relationship—out of friendship. I owe You a debt of love. I am not a slave, but a friend. Therefore, I reject all contrary thoughts about who I am and I embrace Your righteousness for I am righteous in You.
I exchange beauty for ashes and the oil of gladness instead of mourning. Your love does not fail and will never fail me. I put my trust in You, my Strong Tower. I come into the Secret Place of the most High and dwell with You. I whisper Your name. I shout Your name and give My life in a sacrifice of worship and praise. I meet You at the table of fresh bread and new wine. I come to the banqueting table of intimate communion and abide in Your love. I whisper Your name for I am thinking about You Jesus, for You are my great Love. Amen
Prayer
Lord, help me to walk humbly before You with clean hands and a pure heart. I embrace the fullness of the Cross and the forgiveness it entails for myself and others. You are continually making things new in my life. Help me to not miss even one, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Every creative work born of You is worthy of praise and adoration. Every moment of my life is made new in You. Teach me to understand the principal of new manna, of daily bread, in such a way each second of my day is transformed by newness of life.
The Lord is my daily bread and I feast on my relationship with Him. I do not live on natural bread alone, but on every word proceeding from Him in whatever form it comes. I incline my heart to wisdom and He answers me. Old things have passed and are passing away. I perceive a new thing. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I refuse to fear or let fear have entrance and power over my life. The only fear I want to walk in is the reverential fear of You…to respect and honor You. Most of all I want to desire You above all. Help me to mature in this area and not be like the children of Israel in the wilderness and forget all the times You have delivered me.
I worship You in spirit and truth and declare goodness and mercy follow me as I bask in the wake of Your Presence. I proclaim the Lord is my liberty…my freedom and I will not be dismayed for He contends with those who contend with me. I stand on the field of battle clothed in the wisdom of the Lord and the power of His name. There is none like Him. My time with the Lord is bringing great benefit to my life and shines through me to release light to those around me. I receive the wisdom of the Lord. Amen
Prayer
Lord, open my eyes. Open my heart to receive the fullness of Your Word. Let every seed of change planted in my spirit be fruitful and multiply. Let each seed bring forth an abundant harvest. I reject all fear and embrace the love, power and sound mind of Your Word spoken to me. I choose to agree regardless of any contrary winds the enemy sends my way. I stand on the Rock and believe because You are good and Your love endures forever. Help me to embrace the process with a heart of discovery and anticipation.
I declare that I am one who walks in agreement with the Lord, and in doing so, I advance moment by moment and line upon line into the fullness of all revelation and change. I have the same mind and intent which dwells in the Father’s heart. I am one who agrees with the written Word and I agree with all the Words Holy Spirit has whispered in my ear, to my heart. I walk according to covenant promises and I am not dismayed. I am changed. Father, I prepare my heart and my body to receive the hovering of Your Spirit over me. Stir the deep places of my heart and deposit from Your deep to my deep. I am restored in Your presence. Amen
Prayer
There are always areas of my life in need of new resolve and reinforcement. Enlarge my faith as I hide Your word in my heart. I put on Your strength, Your patience and give all weariness in exchange for a new perspective and trust. I come within the shelter of Your overshadowing with dreams in hand to lie at Your feet. Breathe the breath of life and hope into them. My heart is a place full of Your breath, a birthing room of hope and potential. I receive. Amen
Prayer
Thank you for the people You have sent into my life. Please forgive me where I have taken them for granted in any way. Help me to be a blessing to them in all I say and do. I anticipate with gladness the new people You are sending. I refuse to listen to any grumblings or complaints against me as to the truth of who I am in You. I choose to believe You and the Word You have spoken over my life. My eyes are on You, enabling me to come up higher. I lift up my hands in the very presence of Your throne and the enemy trembles today. He is
Prayer
The Lord delights in me and I am desired by Him no matter the circumstance, no matter how I think or feel. O, how He loves me.
Therefore, I do not worry. I do not fear. My heart and my thoughts are captivated by Him, and I think on things most lovely and pure. I think on Him. Even now, He is showing me how to live consistently in His presence. As His words of love kiss my heart, all hardness is melted away like snow on a sunny day. I am growing in my awareness of His never-ending presence. He never leaves, never forsakes. A love that endures forever is His covenant to me. Amen
Prayer
Thank you Lord for being committed to me…committed to changing who I am and what I do into Your very likeness. You never get tired or weary. Your never slack on the job for You do not slumber nor sleep. Provoke my heart to do Your good pleasure as I revel in Your incomprehensible love. How I desire to know you as you know me. How awesome to know Your gaze is ever fixed on me…ever beholding me. This could be fearful if I did not know that You are Love. Nothing escapes you and all evil schemes and plans are now manifest in my life in order to be destroyed. Line upon line You reveal them…incident by incident You uncover them enabling me to overcome and walk in freedom.
I agree with You and declare that You, the Lord, consider me with great love. Therefore, my heart is consumed by you and does not halt or falter. Today my destiny is unfolding before my very eyes. I acknowledge the present moment I live in to be a part of my destiny…a door to my tomorrows which are already ordained and planned by the Lord. Today the Lord goes before me and directs every step. I will not falter. Amen
Prayer
Lord, as I listen to Your voice daily, I understand with greater clarity and freedom the beauty of Your grace which is sufficient. It is more than adequate each and every day to overcome, endure and succeed. Not only is Your grace more than enough, Your mercy is new every morning and gives me strength to stand against any and all opposition.
Many times I have not recognized how the opposition in my own life has come from my own negative thinking. Forgive me for focusing on my own faults, weaknesses, and giving way to lies and negative thinking contrary to Your word. I choose to think on pure and lovely things and allow them to saturate my heart and renew my mind. Holy Spirit, help me, to renew my mind to think only the truth. As I think on what You say I will begin to choose right actions and belief systems. I will see myself as You see me, and I will no longer entertain the enemy’s lies to make me think otherwise.
Your power and strength are filled and completed in my weakness. At times I have rejected myself because of my own weakness and failures. Lord, help me to recognize the reality of Your delight and enjoyment at being with me, for You chose to live within me. You chose because You love me in spite of my human frailties. How can I not love You? It is impossible.
Change my mind set by the power of the Spirit as I meditate on Your Word, so that I can fully enjoy Your fellowship to the fullest. Help me to truly know the value of who I am because of what You have done…because of who You are in me. Come and rest in the garden of my heart for I have made room for You. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I draw near to You and You draw near to me. Like a deer panting after the water brooks, I long after You and Your Word. I surrender my tongue to the releasing of truth and not the negative lies of the enemy he wishes for me to speak over and against others. Not only will I speak life over others, I will speak life over my own heart as well.
Purify my heart and put Your coal of cleansing to my lips that they make speak fruitful praise and edification to all who hear me. Flow like sweet honey from the Rock into my spirit, my emotions, my entire being and I will glorify Your name. I put off the old man and his way of doing and saying. I embrace the truth of righteousness which enables me to release healing to all I encounter. I receive a pure heart today. Amen
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for every time I have gotten ahead of Your timing—for not building one day at a time because of fear or worry. When I do this I am hard on myself and feel I have failed in some way. Teach me to rely on the conviction of Holy Spirit with complete trust in the fact that Your kindness leads to repentance. Wash me with the cleansing power of Your Word each and every time I read or hear it. Water every seed of Eden within my heart and enable me to flourish in practical ways into the oasis you say I am.
Continue to separate all darkness…all dark thoughts of failure and bathe me in Your light. Teach me to move with Your flow in order for things in my life to function properly according to Your purpose. Every house needs the right foundation. Separating light from darkness in my life builds a good foundation on which to operate from. Substance, the fulfillment of dreams and a confident heart become my portions.
Lord, once again I give You the hidden places of my heart where insecurities abound. I give them to You, and I move on. I can see the Jordan and I know the ark of Your presence in my life will move me across on dry ground. I will agree with You and say, “I am Your living example.” I ride with you and call You, Abba Father. Amen
Prayer
Though my faith is tried and tested, though I have not seen all come to pass, I will not look back. I will press on. I am pressing on toward my high calling in You. You are the author and finisher of my faith. I am growing and building muscles of faith even when I can’t see the results right away. There is a day; a coming day, so very near and the difference shall be seen. The only looking back I will do is to see how far I have come and give You praise.
How wonderful it is to know every time I dream You have dreamed even bigger. Every time I hope, You have hoped bigger. I stand in awe of You capacity to implant the vision and purpose of Your heart in me. Wow, to imagine counting stars being like child’s play is amazing. Stretch my tent pegs enlarge my ability to believe. New wine for my new wine skin, regenerated into a soft and supple vessel to hold an abundance of living water. I am Your over-comer. Amen
Prayer
Lord, how beautiful You are…how wonderful is Your name in all the earth. There is no one like You; therefore, there is no one like me for I am made in Your image. Before time ever was You knew me…You loved me and had plans for me. I am not an after-thought. In fact, I consume Your thoughts. Your thoughts about me are so many they cannot be counted. My heart is overjoyed when I ponder how you continually think on me and plan for me.
I choose to come and abide within You under the shadow of Your wings. I reject all doubt and unbelief. I rest in the security of Your name which contains all I will ever need. I open up my heart to receive the rains of Your presence…Your Word into the soils of my being. Let it rain…let all heaven-born possibilities and promises be fulfilled in my life. I declare my heart to be open and unafraid. I declare no shame or guilt will rob me of displaying the beauty of who You have called me to be in the lives of others. I receive the rain of Your Presence. I declare that I am fruitful…that I am sprouting forth Your glorious salvation and righteousness in the earth, to and for those I love. I am walking hand in hand with You to accomplish Your desires for me and those I love…for those I have not met yet. Germinate and sprout new life in me today as I submit myself to You…as I nestle into the atmosphere of Your Presence and receive the rain of all heaven-born possibility. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, my heart is Your home…Your abiding place. Everything I have ever been, everything I am and everything I will ever be and do is known by You. My past, present and future are precious to You. Not one moment of my life has gone unnoticed by You. Everything I need to do, know or be is in You. All my fountains are in You, Lord.
Please forgive me for not recognizing the depth of what You have given me…for not recognizing how You see me as a sanctuary of Your presence…as an abiding place…as your home. I am no longer of this world but I am a new creation…a new species…a temple of your presence and so much more. I have been redeemed from the curse and my past has been forgiven.
Lord, I press on toward my high calling and do not give ear or due to the lies of the enemy. My ears are open to the voice of the Lord and the eyes of my heart are being opened moment by moment that I might know Him in the fullness of His resurrection. I reject the enemy’s lies and I embrace the truth. I declare by faith that my past is restored and made new. I declare my present is a place of abiding in Him and is alive and filled with His presence. I declare my future is abounding with hope and expectation for I walk by faith and not by sight. The Word of God in me is performing all it is meant to do and I am seeing and will see in a whole new way. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I sense Your hovering presence around me. By faith I receive the saturating of all my dry places…all the dry and dusty places. My inner most being…my soul cries out to You…cries out Your name, Jesus, and proclaims that you are more wonderful than can ever be known. I open myself up…no denial…no fear and I receive…I receive dews of freshness into the tired, worn out and burned out places. Like tender grass reaches up to receive the rain, I reach up to You Lord. I refuse to agree with my accuser and I choose to agree with You. I declare Your Words of love are penetrating the depths of my being with freedom and love. Hope is flooding my soul and filling my life to overflowing. I am learning to rest in You.
I confess my doubt and declare that I am Your favorite one. There is no one else like me in all the earth, nor will there ever be. I am unique and uniquely Yours. I am the apple of Your eye and am always on Your mind. I will not compare myself to anyone, not even to myself in the things I might have done well. Sometimes I look at myself knowing I could have done better…even better like I used to. Tonight when I lie down to sleep, I am expecting the whispering of Your voice in my dreams and over my life. Come whisper to me and I will hear. Come whisper to me and I will embrace all You say. I am Your favorite one. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, forgive me for not drawing near to You and for moving out ahead of Your waiting room. Even though I am in a waiting room in respect to some of the dreams and promises of my life doesn’t mean I am to shut down or be inactive. There are other people in the waiting room with me and I will go about doing good on their behalf even while I wait. As I give, it will be given to me, pressed down, shaken together and running over. I wait upon You and my strength is renewed and my heart is thereby given to service to You and to others. I sow good things and I reap good things. My heart is to do Your will in all respects. I am about Your business and You are about mine. I wait in Your presence. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I choose this day to open the doors of my heart…the doors of my own personal sheepfold where all my dreams and longings abide…where there are hidden places yet in my soul yet untouched by the Shepherd’s love. I give you complete access to the inner most places of my being. Show me…speak to me about hidden things which hinder me and keep me from receiving the fullness of Your affection and love. By a choice of my free will, I choose to listen and follow. I call on Your name. I call to You, Jesus. No situation or circumstance will keep me from hearing and listening to Your voice.
I break covenant with all fear of failure…all fear of letting You see the ugly things in my heart. You already know them and still love me; therefore, I am not afraid. I choose what is right. I choose to only let good in to the vineyard of my heart…into the sheepfold of my life. My heart is open to hear what the spirit is saying to me.
You are my beloved and I hear You calling my name. It is the sweetest sound I know. I hear you calling and I will follow as You lead me into all truth about myself and about You. I surrender my heart as one soft and moldable in Your hands. You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom (Ps. 51:6). Shape me among the green pastures of Your love into an instrument of grace. Whisper my name and I will listen. I sup with You. I give you the hidden places as I draw near for Your love is more than enough. Amen
Prayer
I truly am Yours Lord. You are my God and I am Your great love. I wake each morning to the sound of Your voice and You are with me with every step I take all the day. Every morning You give me new mercies as the sun arises.
Lord, I declare You as Christ in me the hope of Glory who abides in me…who goes wherever I go. I give You permission to go into the secret places… to go into the hidden places that I would rather leave locked away. I trust You Lord because of Your tenderhearted and merciful ways. Your Word and Your ways will always bring healing to my heart even in the most deep or hidden areas.
Thank You for being with me through this journey called life. I understand that nothing is done haphazardly or by coincidence because You have a plan for my life. You are the same yesterday, today and forever. You are the Never Changing One and I can trust You Lord with my past, present and future. I trust You with my future, for it is full of hope because You are with me.
Forgive me for all the times I have doubted You and help me Lord to receive a deep revelation of Your love. Help me to understand how the footprints of my destiny are impregnated with Your purpose as I abide in You and You abide in me. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, today I give you thanks…today I give you praise for You are the love of My life and the truth that sets me free. I set my affections on things above and choose not to believe any negative past or present circumstance has the power to determine the outcome of my life. I look to You, the author and finisher of my faith, not anything or anyone else. I will not allow the enemy of my soul to cause me to focus my attention on myself, my past failures or successes. My focus is on You Lord. I choose to not be distracted by my own mistakes or abilities to succeed. I recognize that distraction is a big weapon the enemy desires to use against me. I will not allow myself to become overburdened with activities, especially religious ones. Lord, my heart’s desire is to draw close to You and nothing else. I will not allow our intimacy to be robbed by being too busy to spend time with You Lord. I close my eyes to the distractions around me. I praise You as I receive help from on high. I come and rest in the all-sufficiency of Your name and in Your Word. It is not by might or by power but by Your Spirit that all things are accomplished. Therefore, I come into rest. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, it is my greatest desire to be with You…to inhale Your sweetness…Your presence. Draw me and show me how to utilize the little moments of my life to build intimacy with You. Sometimes I think that if I do not have large chunks of time there is no need, for what could a one little minute matter. A day is a thousand years to you and a thousand years as a day; therefore, a minute can be more than I could ever imagine. One moment in Your presence is better than a thousand other days.
Show me where I can make time. Help me to get up earlier or stay up later just so I can spend that intimate time with you. Please forgive me for letting my day slip by…for letting it slip away among the many hectic things of life. I wake up with good intentions and before I know it the day is gone, never to be recaptured.
I declare this is a new day and I open up all my senses to let the perfume of Your presence surround me…to fill me from the inside out! Come ravish my heart. Come stir the waters of my being until I am consumed and filled by You.
Sometimes You feel so far away; but, I know this is not true. Come stir me for I need to feel Your Presence reminding me You are still here. Thank you for continually wooing me…for drawing the living waters from deep within until I am flooded with a realization of Your beauty and fragrance. Overflow my heart…overflow out of my life into others…into dry and weary places. Please help me to become a pure vessel that you can use. Fill me Lord…ah… please fill me with more and more realization and revelation of Your great Love!
I ask that You show me areas of my heart which prohibit the full expression of Your character. What lies have I believed…what can I do…how can I be obedient to You in order to grow…in order to live a life demonstrative of your character. Stir up the desire in me to love and partake of Your Word more and to know that You have given me answers for my life in Your word…to know Your Presence is my life and strength. May the sweetness of Your Presence overtake my life. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I can hear you calling me to walk with You. I will no longer hesitate or ask for You to wait because I am busy taking care of the burdens of the world. I give those burdens to You and follow after You with my whole heart. I follow You into the secret place away from all the distractions in order to become sensitive to the slightest movement as You walk through the garden of my heart.
Thank You for helping me to recognize all misconceptions and distractions which have the power to take me away from the awareness of Your Presence. So many things compete for my time with You. Teach me the secret of being in You no matter what I am doing. Help me to make my time be subject to You and not the other way around. I long to realize there is no limit to Your Presence when it comes to experiencing You. I can have all of You in ever spectrum of my life from the busiest moment to the most restful sleep and all in between. The only limits to experiencing You are the ones I set.
Yes, You are my oasis in the midst of busyness. You are the calm in the midst of all my storms. I learn of You in the quiet and the busy places of my life, for truly You are my sanctuary in the midst of chaos. Thank You for calling me as deep calls to deep…for connecting my heart with Yours in a place of communication too deep for words. I will never hide from You again. I join You to rest and listen, to rest and receive for now and eternity. I hear you knocking and I say, “Come in.” Amen.
Prayer
Lord, in order for me to hold my hands up to Heaven in complete surrender, they must be empty of offenses, stones and my own way of doing things. Surrender is what I choose to do. Humble is who I choose to be. I run into You, my strong tower and deliverer. I will not be afraid nor will I choose to defend myself because of any fear of man. I stand in You and in You alone. You cover me with armor and shelter me under Your wings. I am safe and protected in You.
My whole being, my whole life is encompassed by Your great love, and the strength of Your right hand overshadows me, protecting me. Everything about me from the tiniest inflection of my face to the largest need of my life is ever before You. I close my eyes and I see You. I see the laugh lines around Your face from all the times You have smiled with me and laughed with me. How beautiful You are. How lovely it is to behold You, Jesus. You are the delight of my heart. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I come to lie down in green pastures and wade in the waters of Your presence. Time with You is like sitting by gentle flowing streams of mercy and grace. I come to receive in my time of need. Let Your peace flood my mind, will and emotions. May the sun stand still on my behalf today as I rest in You. I let go of the world’s programming and embrace eternal principals of hearing and doing only what You say to do. In doing this, I will always be successful. I receive Your mercy and grace today. I come boldly before the throne in my time of need with the guarantee I will receive all I need. Rest abundantly in my heart today as I sit undisturbed at Your feet. Amen
Prayer
Lord, there is no other option than success. It is the only alternative. All other possibilities have left my heart shallow and without motivation. You motivate my heart and I respond to each and every call—each and every whisper of Your voice. You direct my steps while making the rough ways smooth and the crooked paths straight. You have planned a way for me and me alone. I refuse to be distracted by the lies and ramblings of the enemy who seeks to draw me to the broad way. I respond to the conviction of Holy Spirit and not to any tendency to be introspective to the point of constant faultfinding in my own life. My failures, my past are separated from me. I arise and leave the past behind with all its hindering mindsets.
Reveal any wicked thought process left in me which causes me to stumble and fall along the way. I will nail it to the Cross and embrace a future and a hope in You. My desert is blooming among showers of sweet spring rain. I believe. Amen
Prayer
Father, it is an awesome wonder to think You have called me to be with You…to dream as You dream, to love as You love, and to be as You created me to be. I thank you for the privilege of fulfilling Your purpose, in me. I will step out in faith to accomplish all You have put in my heart.
Thank You Holy Spirit for being my guarantee, my helper, and my comforter and for encouraging me to do all I am called to do. You are perfect love…and Your love cast out all my fear as I surrender my worries and concerns to you. Reveal Your perfect love to me on a moment by moment basis and I will be completely whole and unafraid.
Because of Your great love, I enter into a whole new adventure with freedom to express myself according to the personality You have created me to be. I am who I am and it is good.
As I abide in You, I rest in green pastures while seeing the dreams and desires of my heart become vivid landscapes before me. Truly I can I rejoice by faith in all that You are doing even before it is completed. I revel in the beauty of who You say I am, and I rejoice in the joy of my salvation. I dare to dream as I worship and praise You in the grace, mercy and intimacy of Your presence. Amen
Prayer
Father, I thank You for calling me Your beautiful garden! Knowing this is how You view me brings great peace and joy to my heart! I invite You, the one and only Master Gardner, to dwell in my garden. I will not hide behind the fig leaves of my own making. I come out in the open and give you access to all I am…the good…the bad…and the ugly, for I am beautiful to you regardless.
Come, water and feed the good flowers of love and peace. Pull up the weeds of death and discord the enemy has sown in my life. Show me all open doors where I have by my own choices allowed a way for the enemy to sow with liberty his lies and pain.
Thank You for uprooting all the lies that I have believed about myself, about others and even about You. May the winds and words of Truth keep the enemy’s seeds from ever entering my garden again. I pray that You will continue to turn the soil of my heart making it good, fertile soil.
I purpose in my heart to seek Your face each day and make way for You to water and feed my garden with words of edification and encouragement…words which you so liberally long to whisper in my heart. I look forward to our time together when I will take in all the beauty that is Your creation. Help me not to become too busy to dwell with You. I know one thing, as I willingly expose myself to much Son Light, I will be drawn closer to You and that’s exactly where I long to be! Amen.
Prayer
Father, I adore You and You are worthy to be praised. You are mighty indeed and You alone are Glorious. I thank You for giving me dreams birthed from the throne of God into my heart. As I listen to Your heart and hear what the Spirit is saying I praise You and long for Your will to be done in my life. I will not give up or give in to the tactics of the enemy with reference to Your plans for my life.
Father, I will be of good courage and dream the dreams You have for me. I receive the understanding that I am with You as You are with me to fulfill the visions You place in my heart. I am thankful no one or nothing can stop what You put into motion when it comes to fulfilling my dreams and destiny. I worship You and praise You for the intimacy we have together.
It is in an atmosphere of worshiping you where I receive all the dreams and visions You have for me to receive. I desire only the destiny and purpose You have created me to walk in. Let it unfold and be manifested in my life now and for all eternity. Amen
Prayer
You, O’ Lord are my impenetrable, immovable rock. There is none like You. You are never dismayed and always work in my life with great optimizes, great faith, for You have already seen who I am to be. Because You have seen and know, dismay never comes near You. Perseverance and tenacity are Your trademarks for You do not grow weary in doing good on my behalf.
You know me and my struggles, yet, You offer me sweet honey from heaven and I accept. I receive honey from the Rock and I am strengthened this day. Your Word taste like honey to my soul and transforms my day, my life into a land of abundance and praise. Let Your bowls of honey cascade over my life and I will propel into all You have called me to be. Let Your honey flow. With eyes closed, mouth open, heart open I say, “Let Your honey flow!”
Prayer
Lord, I am a tree…an oak tree planted by Your streams of living water ready to bring forth fruit in due season. My leaf…my life will not fade or wither but everything I do shall prosper and become mature according to Your purpose. Joy has come to abide in the places where I have mourned. I receive an expressive garment of praise as I cast off heaviness of any kind. I declare that I walk in strength and I am not easily dismayed. I am the planting of the Lord that He may be glorified. I am the Lord’s garden.
I hear the new song the Lord is singing over me…a song of acceptance and beauty. I do not have to act right or perform for the Lord. I am hidden in Christ. I am accepted in the Beloved. I am loved. Though some of my promises are yet unfulfilled they will come to pass. The buds are on the trees and will open according to His timing and purpose. I will not reject the timing nor will I walk in doubt and unbelief because the leaves on my tree are not completely open. I will not base my perception on what I see or don’t see. I will base it on the Word and the Promise. I lay my heavy burdens down. I lay my failures down. I lay my successes down. I lay all things down and I rest and listen to the heart beat of my Good Shepherd. I am loved in the Beloved. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I long to have my way of thinking transformed into Your way of thinking. It is my heart’s desire to walk in revelation and truth to such an extent that my every step is in sync with You. Give me the revelation to see how accessible all You have really is. Lord, You sacrificed Your life that I might enter in to the holy place. You made the way for me and I must come to be where You are. Your Word says the Kingdom is within me, that You dwell in me.
Your Spirit within me is a transforming force working from the inside out. I long to cooperate with what You are doing in my heart and life to the fullest and do so right now. Let Your life flow through me like a river and remove every hindrance. Let Your breeze move through me to blow away all the cobwebs of the past and bring healing to every part of me. I renounce all fear and prepare my heart to receive. Amen
Prayer
Thank you Father for Your patience, for your understanding heart of compassion. Step by step you lead me, making my path straight and the rough way smooth. My mountains bow down and my valleys rise up. Together they make an even plain. I position myself to see what You see, to know what You know.
Bring to my remembrance all the lessons of life I have learned, enabling me to walk with patience. I have seen and learned well. I choose to believe, to see what you see, This time is different than all other times. I rejoice in You and as I do, my time will and has come.
Prayer
Lord, I bless you for the illustration of the pearl of great price. Help me to understand the deeper meaning of this and the willingness to sell all to purchase the “one.” There is no greater love than for a man to lay down his life for another…than for a man to give all he has for another. This You have done for me even with the possibility I would not value Your sacrifice. The Kingdom of Heaven is like the pearl of great price. It is worth everything and I am worth everything to You.
Help me to see my own value with according to Your truth…according to how I look in Your eyes. A pearl is a pearl and a child is a child. I am your child no matter where I am or what I look like. Simply stated, I am yours.
Words cannot convey the joy I experience because I know and experience Your great and enduring love. It is hard to understand how Your love for me isn’t given to me based on performance. Performance is the way of the fickle world and can disappear in an instant. It is not so with You. Once a pearl…always a pearl.
Today I bless You with the obedience of My heart and life in the confidence of who I am in You as I help others to see the beauty of Your garden…as I help others to see themselves as pearls of beauty and great price nestled in the fields of Your heart. May the garden I am and the pearl I represent shine with beauty and emanate the fragrance of Your beauty, drawing many fields of Your heart. Amen.
Lord let Your light shine into the darkest, most hidden places of my heart. My identity is in You. Show me who I am. I long to know You as I am known and it is Your will and desire that do so. All that I will be is already accomplished in You. You are my Resurrection and my Life. May the blood of Your sacrifice penetrate to the very core of my being as I come to ride on this journey with You.
On this journey I will leave the past behind. Worry for my future will have no place of habitation in my heart. I am and will be forever content in Your presence…content to rest in the assurance of Your everlasting love and friendship. Even now Your blood…Your sacrifice permeates my heart, my past and my future. You are alive forever more and I am alive in You. In this place I am made new.
All I desire is for the longing and passionate pursuit of my heart to be equal to Yours on this journey. Therefore, I choose to lay down my striving heart for Your heart of peace. You are indeed my righteousness. Yes, let there be light in my heart. I choose to trust You. Come Lord Jesus! Come!
Prayer
Lord, I confess that I have a heart of faith. My ears hear what the Spirit is saying. My heart is open to You and I obey the dictates of Your Word. Even now, You are imprinting my heart with Your fingerprint and all other impressions are being overwritten by Your truth. All negative words of men are null and void, for You have the last word. And Your Word says there is no condemnation in You. This is the last and final word I choose to believe. I agree with You that I am a wonderful treasure because You made to be so.
Prayer
Every doubt and unbelieving attitude I have is being crucified and my emotions are lining up with the Word of God spoken over me and to me. Every nagging thought of defeat has no power over Your precious blood and all it purchased for me. I am a conquering king and priest who rises above the storm carried on the wings of Your mighty saving grace. I trust You. I trust I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. It is my portion. Amen
Prayer
Lord, thank you for loving me . . . for cherishing me. Teach me to cherish the beauty You have placed in me. Help me to recognize and esteem my gifting with a heart of gratefulness. Let diligence and perseverance be characteristics of my life and enable me to walk out what You have called me to do in spite of all odds. I surrender my heart to the fullest measure of expression to release all You are in me.
Help me to be obedient and walk in sacrificial love. I am Your ambassador in the earth and have the obligation to release the Kingdom to all I see. Life, not death, is the fruit of all I do. I cherish and protect all the gifts You have endowed me with, not for my sake but for the Kingdom’s sake. Let me not grow lazy, apathetic or disdainful no matter how other people receive me. I am only required to love You and love others. You take care of the rest. I ask for wisdom and it is given to me. Amen
Prayer
Lord, help me to walk in the fullness of all You call me to be and not limit You to any earthly standard of man or lie of the enemy. Holy Spirit, teach me to let the kingdom of God within to have precedence over my circumstances and environment. Let faith mount up on eagle’s wings in my heart to bear words of anointing and power.
I confess that I am made to be a victor and I am a victor according to Your Word. Your promises are yes and amen in my life and I will not be dismayed. My heart is a pure heart with only one desire—to please the Lord in all it says and does. I refuse condemnation over any lack of success in my desire to please the Lord and live according to His Word. I release myself of all blame and receive the forgiveness bought by the precious blood of the lamb. I put my failures behind me and feed only on the fresh manna found in daily communion with Father. I let go of all distractions and embrace a new day in the Lord. I do an about face to move in the direction of His wind. Amen
Prayer
Father I choose to put away all thoughts, words and deeds against others. I only listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd and not the lies and ramblings of the enemy. When I behold the face of the Lord my focus is not distracted. The words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart become more acceptable with each passing day. The attitudes of my heart, which form my words, are submitted to the King of Kings. I have the mind of Christ and hold the thoughts and intents of His heart. Therefore, my words match up and come into agreement with His words. I take every contrary thought captive to the obedience of Christ. I surrender every word of my mouth to the scrutiny of the gospel. I am one who releases life and not death with my words. Amen
Prayer
I do not have a spirit of fear. I have a spirit of love, power and a sound mind. My heart and mind are focused on the Lord who cares for me at all times, regardless. I do not fear failure. I do not fear success. I follow the Lord on His path no matter where it goes. I draw near to Him and He has drawn near to me. My spirit is steadfast according to His Word and becoming more steadfast each and every day. I walk by faith and not by sight. Faith and trust in the Lord, rules and reigns in my heart. He is ever-present in my life and never leaves me. I do not leave His side. I arise and go to the hill of the Lord at all times for I am His brave solider. I am walking in a season of change. Amen
Father, my heart is Your dwelling place. Jesus gave His life to purchase mine. He didn’t do it so I could live in a place of staleness or ineffectiveness. I have become Your habitation, the place where the Kingdom of God dwells. I want all the transfiguration You have for me, past, present and future. I will not settle for anything less. I give up all fear of men and lay down my own inadequacies. I pick up who I am in You.
Lord, You destroy the works of the evil one in my life, and my heart is a heart of flesh. It is supple and soft in Your hands and I submit any stony places into Your capable hands. Mold me, make me, and pour oil into the very depths of my being. As I focus my mind and heart on You, renew my thinking. My heart is Yours, a mount of transfiguration, a place where You rule and reign. I move in unison with You to do Your will. I am commissioned and qualified to do all I have been called to do. I have a passionate, glory-filled new heart. And I give it to You, for You have come and I am here. Amen
Prayer
Father, I thank You with all my heart, for Your plans for me are for good and not evil. I can always rely on Your plans to come about. Please help me to be patient and to wait for Your timing. I desire to wait with an attitude of rest knowing all the while You are faithful. Help me to have complete trust in the power of Your name. I choose to spend time listening to You so that I may know when to act and when to be still. Your way is the best possible way so please help me to be obedient and follow You with a surrendered heart. Draw me into the secret place and cause me to thirst for more time with You. It is in the secret place where I get to know You and Your ways so I can become more like You…so I can stand in the middle of any storm with confidence and at the same time pull others out of sinking sand. I wait on You. Amen.
Prayer
I give up all speculation and assumption prone to the heart of an adult. I embrace a child-like heart of faith in all areas of my life. As I do this, all ever stolen from me is returned seven-fold. The enemy has been discovered and justice demands an increased return. I open my heart to the Lord and ask Him to examine my every motive and enable me to have a pure heart. In faith I move forward with complete trust and faith. Help my unbelief. My faith is growing and will encourage others to good works full of hope. I embrace the new move of the Lord in my life. The Lord is doing far above anything I can ever imagine. I submit with a surrendered and devoted heart. Amen
Prayer
Many times I get carried away by things going on around me, but today is a different day. I close my eyes and breathe You in once again. I can never do it enough. All of eternity will not be adequate time to experience You. I have often felt like my moments with You haven’t been plentiful enough to get Your attention but they have. You value each and every moment I spend with You. Help me see the grandness of it all, and cause me to hunger and thirst after You with every fiber of my being. I am here. Touch me and let the bells ring. Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your beauty surrounds me and covers me with such a splendid love. You have provided all I need to sustain me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. My life and heart are in Your hands. I run into the strong tower of Your might and strength where I am saved from my enemies. I embrace the lesions of life with confidence, for You do valiantly on my behalf.
Help me to walk with the fullness of Your mercy and grace in every aspect of my life. Leave nothing undone in Me. Make all things new as I learn to walk in humility and confidence. My heart is becoming a deep well of realized love and grace. I am growing in You. I give You my whole heart, life and walk with the knowledge that You have my back. Amen
Prayer
Father, it is an awesome thought to know You not only created Heaven and Earth for my habitation, but You created me as an exquisite habitation for You…created me as a temple to house Your glorious Presence. How amazing this is. My heart longs to fathom the depth of Your great love and Your willingness to live in me.
Thank You for creating an intimate place where we can share our hearts…a place of relationship and confidence where we can express the truest language of all, the mutual expression of devoted love. You have given me the gift of free will. You allow me to choose to respond to Your call and Your loving embrace. No matter how I respond, you still love me; therefore, I am motivated to react in positive ways, taking all You have promised at face value. I believe and I receive.
Lord, help me to walk in complete freedom and not in a performance based mentality. Relationship with You is built on the accepting the Cross of Christ and all it means. You thought I was worth dying for therefore, I choose to walk in a manner which demonstrates You are worth living for. I choose to enter into a renewed covenant with You today, knowing You rescued me from darkness and placed me into the Kingdom of Your Son. I praise You knowing there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus for You triumph over the law of sin and death. It is truly awesome to know that I cannot be loved any more than I am right now. No more performance, for it is by the Cross I am saved. I am free to be me, the creation of God You have made me to be. Amen.
Prayer
Father, please teach me what it means to be a citizen of heaven and to live a supernatural lifestyle regardless of what I face or experience. Open the eyes of my heart to see how You have already positioned me and placed Your own thoughts within me. The Word says I have the thoughts and intents of the Lord’s heart. Therefore, today I ask and pray for Your thoughts to come to the surface of my thinking resulting in my mouth speaking words that are acceptable in Your sight.
Please teach me how to be Your child and learn of You, my heavenly Father, in intimate and profoundly life changing ways. Help me to turn to You for everything and not my own wisdom as you liberally supply all my needs. Help me to take every thought captive and to let You renew my mind with the power of Your Word as I eat it. When I do this, Your thoughts become my thoughts and I do not sin against you or others. Create in me a clean heart desirous of Your Word every day…every moment. May I hear what You are saying to me through Your Word as it speaks louder than things of the world or my own thinking.
I declare to you, Lord, that I am one who delights in spending time with You. I am one who walks with you not as a servant but as a friend…a friend You chose first. In Your Presence, I am revived, refreshed, strengthened and made new on a moment by moment basis. I am Yours and You are mine. I hold out my hand and take Yours. I hold out my hand and I walk with You. I fly with You. All is well. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, what an honor to be Your temple…to be Your plan for spreading the dreams and provisions of Your heart. I will thank You and praise You forever for Your love is indescribable and endures to the very end. I will worship You day and night as I praise You with my whole heart. My greatest dream and desire is for intimate communion and intimacy with You on a continual basis.
I am honored to be Your dwelling place…to be a habitation or tent for Your glory. I am one who is filled with Your presence. I am a part of Your plan, as David was, to fulfill Your purpose. Thank You for trusting me with the thoughts and intents of Your heart…for trusting me to be a part of Your dream. Praise You for the reality of participating in the spreading of Your glory on the earth. Yes, You care about all the dreams You have given me. I thank you for making the way for their fulfillment. It is too wonderful to comprehend, yet I will praise You for eternity as I am part of your dream come true. I am a manifest dream of Your heart. Amen
My heart is overwhelmed with Your beauty and marvels at how awesome it is to live in this day and time…to live for and in Your glory. You are truly amazing. Your beauty fills the earth and the eyes of my heart are fully opened to see. This is the time…this is the day and hour of Your presence and purpose to flow through my life. Though signs and wonders will fill the earth I will keep my heart and focus on the Lord that all men might be drawn to glorify Your name.
Lord, may the fingerprint of Your beauty stamped indelibly upon my heart be visible for all to see. Help me to be so in tune with You that others can experience signs and wonders out of intimate communion with one another. I choose to lay aside all encumbrances and embrace the truth…embrace the positive and follow in Your footsteps. I am one who embraces the truth which is Your Word. I exercise my free will to follow You Lord and You alone. I disregard and break covenant with any words of men which disagree with who You say I am. I take inventory and discard what is of no value to my progress and I embrace…I clothe myself with the truth. Amen
Prayer
Lord, help me to recognize the little leaven in my life that leads to doubt and unbelief. Forgive me for allowing the little foxes to come in and open the doors of negativity in my thought life. I will take every thought and vain imagination into captivity according to Your word. I choose to glorify Your name with praise and thanksgiving for all You do. I choose to focus on the good things in life and all the wonderful things You have done for me. Give me wisdom in the areas where I struggle to understand. By faith, I acknowledge my freedom in the area of negative thinking. I replace all ungodly thoughts with the truth of Your Word and I praise You for helping me to grow in knowledge and faith.
Increase my confidence in You and strengthen my sense of hope in Your faithfulness. We are living in a time when men’s hearts will fail them for fear. I will trust in You Lord, for I know You are always true. I will not allow doubt and unbelief to rob me from my faith in You. I will focus on You Lord, for truly as I keep thoughts on You, You will keep my heart and mind in perfect peace. I set my affections on things above as I keep my focus on You, Lord. I release all areas of struggle and negative thinking into Your hands and receive the adoring affections of Your heart for me. I receive grace abundant. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, throughout all my days help me to have a heart completely surrendered to Your will and purpose in every area of my life, from the mundane to the grand, from the hard to the joyous. Letting go makes more room for You to move in my life and fill it with good things. Give me the discernment to see beyond the mask anything might wear with the intention of diverting my attention and focus from You and Your desire for my life. My sole desire is to be an obedient child of God in every way and in everything.
I receive every open door and revelation. Doors of opportunity and favor are set before me and I will let go of anything keeping me for grabbing the door knob and pushing on through. Nothing is worth forfeiting the plans the Lord has for me. Lord, keep me from being sidetracked or discouraged in any way. I look to the mountain from whence my help comes from and I will not be moved. I give all that I am or ever will be to the service of the Lord and put down all that hinders me. Today I move on in Him.
Prayer
Lord, You have called me from birth. In fact, You knew my frame, my days and my calling before the worlds were formed. Nothing takes You by surprise or extinguishes Your patience on my behalf. Each beat of my heart pulsates through Yours and each thought is important to You. Your thoughts toward me are more than can ever be numbered. They are too wonderful to contain. Even when I am faithless You are faithful, working out Your ways and plans before I am ever aware of them. Your kindness is beyond comprehension and Your dedication to the very essence of my purpose is astounding.
Lord, speak into the depths of my being and I will be made new. I will be changed from a desert dweller to a mountain climber, from one who is hidden to one who delivers. I can hear the mountain of Your heart rumbling inside of me. I prepare my heart.
Prayer
Lord, I rise up in the calling You have placed on my life and I will not be dismayed by the little foxes, the minor setbacks or the unkind words of men. You are mighty to save and have set me in a large place where I can move with freedom and grace. Everything in my life is turned for good and the enemy’s plans are brought to naught as I surrender to You—as I proclaim Your name. I focus my thoughts and actions on You to receive blueprints necessary to the fulfillment of Your plans for me.
I have grown in You and my heart rejoices for You are faithful when I am faithless. What a mighty God I serve. You are worthy and full of glory. I guard my heart and mouth that I may speak what is lovely and upright at all times. Teach me to judge my circumstances according to Your Word and not my feelings. In doing this my mouth will speak what Your Word says and not my opinions. Work a heart of love in me and I will love others at all times. I choose to love, and Your grace is sufficient in enabling me to do so.
Prayer
Lord, I acknowledge I am Your chosen one…chosen before the foundations of the world. I have been in Your heart forever. You have seen all my days and have planned for them. You chose me first and now You desire for me to see beyond my limited borders and boundaries. There are no limits in You. Stretch me beyond the conformity of my life…stretch me beyond all expectations or lack of. Expand me to hold more of Your presence…more of Your heart till I see what You see…till I hear what You say…till I know what You know…till I believe.
I confess with my mouth that I am the beauty of the Lord and my fountain only brings forth sweet water. The dreams of my heart are resurrected for my own life and the lives of those I love. I will not be bound up by wrong attitudes and thoughts, for when I am, I cannot give Living Water to those in need. Purify my heart and make me clean that I may be instant in and out of season. I draw near to the heart of Your presence and receive Living Water and I am fruitful. This is faith and I am faithful. Amen
Prayer
Lord, let freedom be my portion in the land of the living…let goodness of heart be my motto…let goodness and mercy follow me. Words of men have no power over me for I am in the care of a sovereign and loving Father. I surrender my heart for preparation to dance a dance I have never experienced before. I prepare my heart with child-like faith and receive. It is time to fully acknowledge who I am in You…time to come to the ball. I dare to have faith for You are faithful, steadfast and true. You are unwavering and I am like You. The time for action has come and I choose to respond. I come into the secret place with You. Amen.
Prayer
You are my hiding place, my shelter from the storm, my Good Shepherd and I will not be afraid. All of nature declares Your beauty and love for me. Thank you for all the provision You have given and continue to give. I will not lack in any area of my life, physically, emotionally, financially, or spiritually. You are my provision and I will follow You wherever the path leads. Without one care, I follow and my tears are collected by Your tender hand. I am walking in the Light with hinds’ feet on high places. Amen
Prayer
Father, thank you for the privilege of being Your child. I praise You for loving me. Even though I am weak, I say, “I am strong, for I am in You.”
Strengthen me when I fail to get back up…strengthen my feeble knees and make me to stand. When I have done all that I can do to stand help me to continue to stand. Help me to not be weary in well doing. I am so grateful Lord, for You see my heart regardless of all I might say or do. You know my deepest desires to love and serve You. I am truly Yours.
Cleanse My heart and show me if there be any motivation in me which does not flow from a pure heart. You know my every weakness and yet, You love me. How amazing…how humbling.
I thank you for removing all things having the ability to hinder my communion with You. I let go of anything and everything having the power to stop the flow of Your love and spirit pouring through me. I do this in order to be who You have called, chosen and destined me to be. Yes Lord, I am truly Yours this day and every day to come. I am free to be all I am called to be. Amen
Prayer
Lord, my heart is stirred by Your words of love. No one can ever love me or has ever loved me the way You do. Sometimes it is so hard to imagine. When I look at my life and remember the things I have done or the struggles I still have I am amazed by Your mercy and grace. Sometimes I have felt my walk to be drudgery or just downright hard. This happens when I forget how much You love me, how much You literally adore me.
Teach me to discern Your great love and compassion for me. Help me to see every inflection on Your face just like You see mine. I so desire to have the faith of a child and climb up into your lap of love and friendship, to curl my hand up in Yours regardless of my emotions, circumstances or fears. All I want to do is experience this great love You have given me. I want to see the twinkle in Your eyes when You look at me, when You think about me.
Take me into the spa or Your heart and let Your oil drip all over every hard place in my heart. Massage away the hardness of life and weariness of the world. I receive Your healing balm and declare this is a day of love given and love received. Today is a special day of love and will have everlasting consequences in my life. I come, for today is indeed a day of love. Amen
Prayer
As I rise this day Father, I choose to revel in Your words of instruction and encouraging love. You are amazing in Your relentless, pursuit of love. I stand in awe. Your joy permeates me to the depth of my being and I am changed. My heart is the habitation of good soil bought by Your precious blood. I am rooted and grounded in Your love. I step up to the challenges offered to me. I will tend the seeds and the dreams You have planted in my heart, therefore I will grow and many will find healing from their woundedness as I share the life planted in me.
I will come to You daily and give the first fruits of my life at the altar of Your mighty love. I rejoice in those sent to hold up my hands, to rejoice with me, to weep with me and I will draw from treasures planted in them. My heart holds Your thoughts, Your intents. I walk in Your plans which are ever revealing themselves as I focus on You. I rest in You, arise in You and walk with You today. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I glorify You for You are worthy, worthy to open the book. You are the great Lion of the tribe of Judah. Thank You for inviting me to ride with You. For truly in You and in You alone am I safe. Therefore, I desire to abandon all I have trusted in and cling to You.
Help me to walk consistently in Your discernment, as I feed on Your word, that I would not deceive myself and fall into apathy. Protect me from being lulled into deception, thinking nothing could possibly harm me where I am. I understand that we live in a corrupt and evil world, and predators are looking for those they can attack. You are my Deliverer, my Rock, and my Fortress. I will not forget what You have already done for me, or where I have come from. Truly You have rescued me from the kingdom of darkness and brought me into the Kingdom of Light. I will praise You for all eternity with a thankful heart. I will bury my face in the mane of Your presence, fearing no one or anything for You are with me. Thank You that You never leave me nor forsake me, even if I cannot feel You or sense You at times. Today Lord, I come to ride with You and praise You. I will thank You forever; Roar over my life.
Prayer
Father, I thank You for the understanding You give me by the Spirit as I meditate on Your word. For truly there are many seeds to be planted in a variety of soils. It is my desire to bring forth 100 fold fruit in my life to bless You Lord according to the potential seeded in me. As I am growing and the good seeds in my heart multiply, I will plant seeds in the soil of others.
Lord, it is my deepest heart’s desire to bless You in all I do and say. I acknowledge there will be times when I experience seasonal things only once to never occur again. At other times I will experience things on a continual basis to help others and I grow in different ways.
Help me to be patient and understand, depending on the climate and seasons, what may appear to be dead may in fact be very alive…alive and waiting for the right moment to emerge in beautiful shades of green.
Thank You for the understanding and discernment about the times and seasons occurring in my life. I declare that I will not grow weary or disappointed in doing good. I will not faint because I know You never forsake me. Although seasons come and go, and appointed times come and go, I am one who praises You with my whole heart. You, Lord, do not come and go. You never leave me nor forsake me, my ever present God. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, I hear Your call to come and learn from the potter’s wheel…to come and discover truths about You and how they relate to me. As I learn about how You go to great effort to rescue devastated and abused jars…abused pots of clay, my heart ascends in praise for the one who loved me enough to rescue me from the devil’s clutches…from his field of broken dreams and lost worth. How I love You Lord. There is no other who could do or will do what You have done. Your tender, ever foreseeing heart has loved and will always love me, cracks and all. Thinking about the abandoned, rejected pots in relation to my own life brings tears to my eyes as I ponder Your goodness. All I want to have is the same heart towards the loved, the broken and the lost as You had for me.
Every lifeless dry place in my heart was most important to You…so much so, the sacrifice of Your life was required and freely given. You never gave up on me for the vision of Your heart for my life was the joy set before You as You endured the Cross. I cannot imagine loving a friend, let alone a vicious enemy, enough to lay down my life with the possibility the act would not be appreciated or even accepted. However, You looked beyond the sin…the emptiness…the temporal…and peered into the very makeup of my being and said, “It is good.”
Lord, You took my broken pieces…all the worthless things and pounded the lies surrounding my worth and value into fine dust. You removed all the thorns and thistles of life and continue to do so. Everything embedded into my heart meant to cause me evil You turned for good as You released saturating amounts of living water into my very soul where unfertile, unloved soil abided. You scooped soil and living water into Your hand and placed it on Your Potter’s wheel to shape me… form me into a vessel of honor You always knew me to be. What a good treasure hunter You are.
Lord, I so want to be just like you in the reality of my life, not in theory but in practicality. In my head I know these things you say to me are true; but never the less, they are not always revelation to my heart. I ask you to open the eyes of my heart and fill me with so much love I overflow with love and grace into every area of my life…that I flow into the people I struggle with on an ongoing basis. Let the mystery of the ages…the love of the Bridegroom for His bride unfold with natural and eternal power to transform both me and others. Strengthen me for battle and teach me to marvel even more at what the touch of Your hands has accomplished in me as I move to Your rhythm on the wheel of Your heart. May Your fragrance be the only thing I emanate. I will not desire the fragrance of another but will be pleased with my place…vessel that You have taken so much time to fashion. Yes Lord, I am one who was beautiful before all time and always will be. Amen

Prayer
My enemy has tried to convince me of his prowess and deceive me by trying to make me believe he knows all Your plans. He tries to tell me I will fail. This is not so. He knows not the plans of Your heart for me. Since You are for me, who can be against me. Shall the created challenge the creator? NO, he cannot.
You have chosen me to lose chains of bondage and heal the wounded through the power of Your grace. I am one who sets the captives free in the power of Your name. Even now the heavens are open above me and revelatory rain is falling into the recesses of my heart. I will not look back. I look ahead to Your amazing plans for me. I am Yours and You are Mine. Amen
Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to see every encumbrance, every useless burden I carry. Your yoke is easy and Your burden is light. I cast all my cares on You today. One by one I let them go and my heart is becoming a place of contentment filled with peace and trust. When I focus on all You have said and done, confusion has no power over me—no power to perplex, agitate or threaten me with some type of impending doom or failure.
I look away from all things I have trusted in to satisfy the desires of my heart and look to You. I choose You. I choose grace and mercy-filled love. Take Your healing salve and anoint my eyes that I might see. Anoint my ears that I might hear. Anoint my lips that I might speak what I hear You say when I am with you and not what situations and circumstances around me seem to shout. I reject unbelief and embrace You. I embrace Your might, Your power, and acknowledge Your dominion over all things, including me and mine. I will run the race You have set before me and be glad. I receive joy. Amen
Prayer
Lord, forgive my anxious and fretful thoughts for they have robbed me of intimacy with You. They have been little foxes, robbing my peace and security. Not only do they rob me of peace and security, they rob me of time I could have with You. They rob me of faith. I submit all my worries, frustrations and anxious thoughts into the palm of Your capable hand. Your burden is light and Your yoke is easy. You care for the sparrow and You care for me.
I choose to release my anxious thoughts in order to hear Your voice—Your whisper—in the midst of life as it happens. I cannot guarantee what will happen, good or bad, but I can rest in the guarantee of what You did on the Cross for me. You have made a way where there is no way and continue to do so. I roll every care over on You and rest. I rest in the beauty of our relationship and the forgiveness You purchased for me and for those I live and interact with. Help me to extend the same grace and mercy to them You have given to me. And may my heart also melt at the mention of Your name. May it be soft, tender and rest in a place of security and peace. I receive Your Word of encouragement and acknowledge I am loved beyond measure. Amen
Prayer
Lord, You paid the ultimate price and made way for me to be where You are—to see things from Your vantage point. Many times I get discouraged because I can’t see with my eyes what You have spoken to me. I can’t see in the natural what Your Word says already is. Just as Your words “let there be light” continue on through the constant birthing of new stars, so shall the Word You have spoken over my life continue until it releases all You have planned.
I embrace the open door of Heaven and the position given to me in You, Lord. I refuse all doubt and unbelief. Negative words of men are of no consequence to me and they have no power when I embrace the truth. You paid the price for me and I accept the fullness of provision Your life has given to me. I accept Your perfect sacrifice and I move on to move in sync with You. Divine appointments await me and some have even come to me. My eyes are open and my ears attentive to Your voice; therefore, I will not miss one contact necessary to the fulfillment of Your plans for me or the ones I meet. My time and theirs has come. I am listening. Amen
Prayer
I walk in great courage and my trust is in the Lord, whom shall I fear? My heart is ravished by the Lord and is full of grateful praise and adoration. Therefore, I do not fear as I embark on the path He has set before me. Every step I take is directed by the Lord and I follow the path of destiny and purpose. Angels of breakthrough are making way for me according to the sovereign instruction of the Lord. I am saved from all my enemies for they melt like wax before the gaze of my Beloved.
Lion of Judah has risen up on my behalf and His roar, like that of many waters, scatters my foes. I am not afraid. I am courageous, for He has gone before me to make a way where there is no way. I love my Way-Maker. He is the delight of my heart. I am a pioneer in the Kingdom of God with the courage of Esther, Joshua, Daniel and David. I am not dismayed. I overcome. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I submit myself to You completely in all areas of my life…financially, physically, emotionally, spiritually. I submit myself to You in my work, church and family. I receive the realignment of all that I am to be adjusted to Your purpose and plan for this hour and time. I confess all hindrances…all ties and all aspects of my life tied to the past are now broken, in the Name of Jesus. I am set free to embrace the purpose and calling of my life. You have filled me with good gifts and I am indeed a gift to the world around me.
Increase in me today according to Your will and purpose. Set my feet in a large place…on the rock of my salvation. I embrace freedom to the very core of my being as You lead me in a way I don’t know. You illumine all my darkness and cause my light to shine. I am this day rising up to my full stature in Christ. Today all things connected to my past which hold me in bondage or hostage are being removed. I am immersed and infused to my cellular level by the Lord. Amen
Lord, I so desire to always be aware of Your great love as it covers me . . . as it overshadows me. My heart is sealed in You and I belong to You and You alone. There is none like You in all the earth. Help me to see myself the way You do. Sometimes I feel so inadequate to carry Your presence, to display Your glory in the earth. Fashion me and make me according to Your great purpose. Let my life be an example of Your goodness and beauty.
I am safe in Your arms and You contend with all my enemies. There is no more secure place than with You. Show me where I walk in doubt or unbelief. Take me into a more fruitful place as You make every crooked path straight and every rough path smooth. Fashion me according to Your desire and not mine. You are my banner of love and I rest in the habitation of Your divine protection. May my heart always be aware of who You say I am. May my heart always be a vessel ready to pour out all You have given me. Amen
Prayer
Thank you for your encouragement Lord. I so needed it today. There are things I have possessed and now they seem to have gone by the wayside. My attempts to recover have been hard and many times I have given up, abdicated and walked away hoping for a better day. Sometimes I have even looked at myself and felt I deserved what I was experiencing. I let the enemy build fences, and even at times buildings, on my land or in my heart.
Therefore, I choose this day…yes…this day, to walk in the light of Your Word to me. I have been limited in my vision and thought it was all about me in so many ways. I have been so focused on self that I have forgotten it is about Your glory…Your plan and always has been. It isn’t about me. It is about the bigger picture—the cosmos—the world and all it contains.
May I light the earth like Your stars light the night sky and proclaim Your glory in whatever I do or where ever I go. I receive another portion of Your revelation today, as shafts of Your revelation light penetrate my being. Even now, darkness is separating off my thinking—separating off my seeing and yes, off my believing. Amen
Thank you for the new day in my life. Thank you for making me new, for making all things new. Your Word has given me life and I choose to embrace it in all its fullness. I will not only be blessed but I will bless. Old things have passed away. My past and all its sin has been separated from me as far as the east is from the west. I only hold on to the love I received and the valuable lessons I learned. I use these lessons in my present and for future good. I receive the adorning administrations of the Lord in my life. My understanding has grown and will continue to grow. My worth is in the Lord and Him only. Help me to remain faithful and have a heart of complete trust. I trust in Him. Amen.
Prayer
I bless You Lord, for You are worthy to be praised. I, humbly and with great faith, bless Your Holy name. You are the Potter. I am the clay. As Your vessel, I am ready and willing to be poured out among the people so You may reveal your dreams, visions and passion among men.
As my heart is being cleansed, I praise You, for I am Your workmanship. I am in agreement with You Lord and acknowledge I have been made righteous through Your blood to be a vessel of honor.
Freely express Your heart of dreams through me. Thank You for taking pleasure in me which I will in turn translate by birthing dreams into reality. I declare the work You started in me shall be completed and bring glory to Your name. Truly I will not grow weary in the process. I dare to stretch my tent pegs in order to dream bigger, for I am a co-laborer with You to carry out the Your mission on and in the earth. Amen.
Prayer
Lord, give me the understanding and revelation to realize the magnitude of Your omnipresence in my life. Help me to grasp a hold of a vision which holds the fullness of wisdom to know and the faith to walk out what so freely flows in the wind of Your presence. I open my heart to receive wisdom and truth without doubt. Touch the deep places of My heart and cut away every piece of darkness in me and fill me with revelation light and glory. As I hide Your Word in my heart I am changed as it separates between bone and marrow, even to the deepest thought and intents of my heart.
I embrace Your Word and accept the cutting away of anything necessary all the while receiving Your deposits and giftings to do as You have called me to do—to love as You have called me to love. Illumine my darkness and let Your light shine. Create in me a clean heart and steadfast spirit that I might walk according to Your timing and wisdom. Enhance all beauty within me and I will enter the days ahead with and open heart. I am listening carefully to Wisdom’s voice with an open spirit. I draw near and stay near in the day of Your visitation. Amen
Prayer
Father, I praise You for Your love for me. As deep calls unto deep, my heart rejoices in Your faithfulness. Wash me with the water of Your Word and I will be made new.
Thank you for cleansing me from all my unrighteousness. Your Word washes over me and cleanses my soul. Like the woman at the well I am one who drinks from Your Living Water and thirst no more. I am filled to overflowing in all I say and do.
Your heart of love flows through my life and I am a refreshing fountain of life giving water to all those I touch. Your spring of joy flows through me and the Kingdom of God is manifested through me for all to see. Flow freely through every area of my life Lord. Let there are no hindrances to Your awesome presence within me. I surrender all. Amen
Prayer
Father, I embrace the full intensity of relationship with You. You have made a way in Jesus and I take full advantage of it. I abandon all fear and doubt to jump, like a small child jumps into the water when His father is standing with arms outstretched. You will not leave me nor forsake me. Each time I jump into deeper depths You will be there to hold and sustain me no matter what things look like. I may not be able to see to the bottom of the water at times but I can see You and I am content.
I am walking through the doors of opportunity You have placed before me. My heart beats with anticipation at all the surprises ahead as I discover more and more about You and Your plans for me. My tent pegs of understanding are being expanded and the borders of revelation are enlarging. My wine skin is being regenerated on a daily basis to hold more new wine. Surely, the goodness and mercy of the Lord follow me. Amen
Prayer
Forgive me for being anxious and not valuing the process, the step-by-step progress needed to produce a fruitful harvest. Even though I can’t see behind to curtain doesn’t mean no one is there. You are there actively at work on my behalf. I choose to walk in who You say I am, to receive what You have already done for me. I clothe myself with Your heart of peace and put off all anxious thoughts. I take them captive. I put aside all assumptions and I place myself close to Your heart as I dwell on Your Word of truth. I embrace the full measure of all You ever planned for me to be. I am the twinkle in Your eye
Prayer
Lord, thank You for lifting the reproach of men and circumstances off my life and heart. I invite You into every deep or hidden place within me and say, “Have Your way!” More than anything, I want to be completely free to be who You have made me to be. I release all people who have disdained me, hurt me or wounded me in any way. Please bring each one to my remembrance that I might lay the ugly colors of unforgiveness down forever. I release them that they might be free also. Every accusation of the enemy melts like wax in the flame of Your presence.
I close my eyes and I can see You removing strand after strand, layer after layer. I acknowledge all You have already done and give You praise. I choose not to concentrate on the negative, but instead focus on the good things You have done. May my heart be one of humility, grace and forgiveness. Your grace is sufficient to do all I need and to forgive who I need to forgive. Thank You for removing the crooked staff of the enemy. I embrace Your Word as the truth. I will confess it as done according to all You have spoken. As I do this, I will fly on wings of destiny and be a blessing to myself, my family and all You send me to. I arise and believe. I arise and embrace the freedom to fly. Amen
Prayer
Lord, I give my heart to You completely in every way. I cling to You. I rely on You to help me overcome and walk in truth. I focus my thoughts on the truth of Your Word and do not listen to my own misgivings or anxious thoughts. You are patient with me and I must be patient with myself as well. I know You will never, ever let me go. It is impossible for You to do so. I am engraved in the palm of Your hand and my face is ever before You. My every hair is numbered and the days of my life are counted out. I am intimately pursued by You all the days of my life.
Every good and perfect gift comes down from You and I am a recipient of every good thing You are. You have planted many seeds in my heart and they are coming to fruition; therefore, I am not dismayed or discouraged. My heart is patient and without worry as I trust in You and You alone. I am indeed the Apple of Your Eye. Winter has passed and the brown, barren ground is giving away to life. The seeds of life within me are now emerging on to the landscape of my life. Spring has come. Amen
Prayer
Lord, Your ability to keep me, to make me stand in the midst of any situation is amazing. Teach me to remain in You at all times and to do so with an understanding that no matter what You never leave or forsake me for even a moment. You survived the cruelest agony depraved and tortured hearts could ever dish out and yet You interceded for forgiveness on their behalf.
I fall into Your everlasting arms of grace and mercy. I fall into Your heart of limitless love that I might be like You, that I might be in the lives of others like You are in me. Teach me to abide in You in every circumstance of my life, whether they be pleasurable or painful.
Teach me to be like You. I partake of all You have done for me and acknowledge Your ever-present heart. I am never alone for You are with me. I cling to You. I abide in You and out of me rivers of living water will flow to those around me and drench the dry places of their lives. I am responding to Your whisper and I come to abide. Amen
