Seeing God’s Love

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.  Blessed is the person who takes refuge in him.” (Psalm 34:8)

 

When you test out God’s love you’ll only come back for more.

 

Lord,

Thank you for your love.  And that the more I experience it, the more I want it.

Fill me with your love.  Let me taste and see it.

Amen

You are Set Free

“You are free from condemnation when you live in the forgiveness and grace of Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)

Jesus,

Thank you that I’m free from the tyranny of condemnation.  Forgiven and accepted by your grace.

And I can live freely in your love and grace never again fearing condemnation.

Give me your freedom.  Fill me with your peace.  Help me rest in your grace.

Forgive me for my past failures.  And for, at times, not resting in your forgiveness.

Fill me with confidence in your grace, no longer plagued by the tyranny of fear.

I praise you for your grace that has forgiven my past and sets me free for the future.

Amen.

Dawn in the Midst of the Night

“The path of those who walk with God is like the dawn which shines brighter and brighter.” (Proverbs 4:18)

Lord,

Thank you for always leading me out of the darkness and onto your brightly lit path.

And that no matter how dark at times the night you always bring dawn.

Guide me along your bright path into all you’ve promised me.

Too often I’ve worried in the darkness, been afraid in the night.

Remind me in the night that your dawn is coming and your light will soon be shining.

I praise you that you continually lead me into the dawn and on your perfect path.

Amen

You are the Heir of God

“We are heirs, heirs of God our Father and co-heirs with Christ.” (Romans 8:17)

Father,

Thank you for making me your child.  And giving me all the privileges of being your heir.

As your heir you’ve promised me every gift that you gave to your son Jesus.

I pray that you give me all of those gifts specially given to your children.

Sometimes I expect so little.  Too often I don’t see myself as your child.

Help me to see myself as you see me.  And anticipate the inheritance you offer.

And I praise you for all you have given me and will give me as your heir.

Amen

Blessings Unimaginable

“God has blessed you with every spiritual blessing that comes from Heaven through Christ.” (Ephesians 1:3)

Lord,

I praise you for every blessing you’ve given, that has met every need of my life.

And I look forward to all you have yet to give in my relationship with Jesus.

Fill me today with those blessings.  Fill my life everyday with your unimaginable gifts.

Too often I settle for less than the best.  For less than all you want to give.

Help me to expect your amazing gifts so I will see and live them.

And I praise you for all you have yet for me that I can’t even imagine.

Amen

You Will Have Good and Perfect Gifts

“Every good and perfect gift comes from above and is given to us from our heavenly Father.” (James 1:17)

Father,

Thank you for all of the good and perfect gifts you’ve given to me.

And I anticipate them today and each day because of your promise, power and love.

Give me your perfect gifts today.  Fill my life with all the good you desire.

Forgive me for too often worrying that today you won’t give them.

Help me to rest in the assurance you have and will continually.

And I praise you in anticipation of your gifts that are always good and perfect.

Amen

Finding Power When You are Weak

“My grace is sufficient for you.  My power is perfect for your weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)

God, of all power.

Your power can never be overwhelmed.

You promise to fill me with your power,

Especially when I am weak in my own.

Fill me with your power,

Forgive me for relying solely on my own,

Help me rest so I see your power.

Amen

 

Success and Prosperity are Yours

“Meditate on my promises, then you will be prosperous and successful in all you do.” (Joshua 1:8)

God of all power,

You who are with me whereever I go.

You promise me success and prosperity,

When I dwell on your promises.

Guide me into all you’ve promised,

Forgive me settling for less,

Help me expect that I may see.

Amen

You Are Created for Greatness

“He chose us before the world was created to be set apart as special to him.” (Ephesians 1:4)

Lord, creator of all,

Who created me for greatness.

You knew me before I was born,

Destined me for greatness before the world began.

Give me that greatness you designed for me,

Forgive me for too often settling for too little,

Fill me with expectation that I may experience.

Amen

Power Beyond Imagination

“Now to him who is able to do abundantly beyond all we can ask and think by the power that resides in us.” (Ephesians 3:20)

Lord God,

In you resides power, beyond what I imagine.

You unleash that power as you live within me.

Let me see beyond what I ask or think,

Forgive me for my clouding doubt,

Fill me with expectation to see your revelation.

I praise you for the power you promise,

And that I will see.

Amen
