Discovering an Amazing Life

“I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly.” (John 10:10)

Lord,

Thank you for your abundant life.

Life beyond what I can even imagine.

Give me that life,

Fill me with your abundance,

Fill me to overflowing.

Help me to never settle for anything less,

Help me to never want anything more.

I will walk in that life with you today,

And tomorrow because you’ve promised.

Amen

 

Finding Joy Out of the Darkness

“Weeping may last through a night but joy comes with the morning light.” (Psalm 30:5)

Father, thank you for your new dawn,

that brings light into the darkness of night.

Fill me with your joy of the dawn,

your healing light.

Remind me of your promises,

that shine in the darkness,

and overcome the night.

I praise you for the dawn of this new day,

filled with your promised light.

Amen.

Have a Day Filled with Joy

“This is the day the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24)

Lord, thank you for this new day,

fresh to enjoy,

blessed by you.

Fill it with all you have promised,

all of your perfect gifts.

Fill me with joy,

instead of focusing on challenges,

help me focus on promises.

And I rejoice,

in your gift,

your blessings,

and your presence.

Amen.

Discovering the Abundant Life

“If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it.  But if you give your life to me, you will find it.”  (Matthew 16:25)

Father, thank you that you offer me full and abundant life.

Yet, too often I miss it trying to give it to myself.

Fill me with your life,

All that you promise,

All that you give.

Help me to trust in you to fill me with it,

Instead of trusting in myself to add to it.

I look forward to living in that abundant life you promise,

And will praise you as I enjoy it.

Amen

Free At Last!

“You have been set free from sin.”  (Romans 6:18)

Lord, thank you that I am no longer under the curse of sin,

not condemned by it,

nor enslaved by it.

Set me free from it,

by your power and grace.

Fill me with with your power to overcome it,

And your forgiveness to be healed from it.

I praise you that I am free,

To live as you designed,

The life of abundance you promised.

Amen

Living a Fruitfull Life Beyond Imagination

“I am the vine, you are the branches.  If you live with me and I live in you, you will bear abundant fruit.”  (John 15:5)

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)

God, I praise you for your unlimited power.

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)

God thank you for your amazing power in prayer.

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
