Renewing Your Mind Every Day

“Do not be conformed to the negative thoughts of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”  (Romans 12:2)

Father, thank you that I’m no longer bound by the negative,

But rather transformed by your renewing of my mind.

Forgive me for letting the negative creep in,

Instead, help me to focus with your expectation.

And I praise you that you have set me free.

Amen.

Living a Fruitfull Life Beyond Imagination

Father, thank you for your abundant fruit,

Fill my life with your fruitfulness.

Forgive me for trying to create my own fruit,

Instead help me to simply produce your fruit.

I praise you for your fruitful life beyond imagination.

Amen.

Seeing the Unimaginable

“Eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor has entered into imagination all the things God has prepared for those who love him.”  (1 Corinthians 2:9)

Give me what I can’t even imagine.

Forgive me for being limited by my expectation.

Help me only to be limited by your unlimited power.

Then I will see beyond my imagination.

Amen

Your Amazing Power in Prayer

“The continual earnest prayer of a person living with God has tremendous power.” (James 5:16)

Unleash it as you have promised.

Forgive me for underestimating your power.

Help me expect it especially facing the unconquerable.

For when I expect then I will see.  Amen.

Making the Unimaginable Real

“Now to him who, through his power within us, is able to do infinitely more than we can ever ask or imagine.” (Ephesians 3:20)

God, thank you for more than I could ask.

I pray for more than I could imagine.

Forgive me for limiting you with my non-imagination.

Help me to expect the unimaginable.

I will praise you for your imaginable.  Amen

God’s Power and Love Surrounds You

“If God is for us, who or what can possibly prevail against us?” (Romans 8:31)

God, sometimes I feel overwhelmed.  Thank you that in those times you still hold all power.  No one and nothing can overcome your love.  Surround and fill me with your power and love.  And help me to focus only on that especially when feeling overwhelmed.  I praise you, even in the midst of my challenges, as I wait confidently for you to prevail.  Amen

Designed and Created for Greatness

“I praise you for I am expertly and wonderfully made.  All of your works of creation are wondrous.  And I know that full well.” (Psalm 139:14)

God, I praise you that you have made me perfectly as you designed.  And that you chose me from before my beginning.  Help me to remember that when I have self doubts.  And help me to live fully the life you created just for me.  I walk in that confidence that you are leading me perfectly everyday into the greatness you designed.  Amen

Full and Bubbling Life Everyday

“Anyone who drinks the water I give him will never thirst again.  The water I give is a bubbling spring flowing into real life forever.” (John 4:14)

Jesus, thank you that you fill me with your bubbling life giving water.  And that you give it to me forever.  Fill me with your life giving water particularly when I feel most thirsty.  In my desert places help me to look first rather than last to you for your life giving water.  Then I’ll be filled, satisfied and never need to thirst again.  Amen

Receive the Desires of Your Heart

“Praise the Lord, who satisfies your desires with his good and perfect gifts.”  (Psalm 103:4)

Lord, I praise you that you promise to fulfill my deepest desires.  And in your love to do it with only your good and perfect gifts.  I ask you now to fill up my life with those gifts.  And help me expect them even when I don’t see.  For I know as I look I will see.  For your promises never fail.  Amen.

The Cure for Anxiety

“Praise the Lord, my soul, and remember all of his blessings.” (Psalm 103:2)

Lord, thank you for all of your blessings.  Especially the important ones I overlook.  Fill my life with all you have promised.  And help me in the midst of challenges to focus on your promises rather than my problems.  For I know I will see your promised blessings.  And they will be more than enough.  Amen
