Your Burden Has Been Removed

I will walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of…Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; I have broken the bands of your yoke and made you walk upright. –Leviticus 26:12-13    

My Prayer for Today

    Father, thank You for freeing me from the yoke of bondage. You didn’t create me to be a slave, but a son/daughter. You’ve made me Your own. By Jesus’ sacrifice, I now have You as my closest companion. (Galatians 1:4; Hebrews 13:5.) You have removed my burden and made me to walk uprightly as one who is free. You have given me life and purpose. (John 10:10; Ephesians 1:11.) You bid me to walk as You walk and to live as You live. You mentor me through life’s trials and see to it that I am never overwhelmed. You are a good Father and worthy of my praise.    

My Confession for Today    

The Lord has set His dwelling place within me and has given me His Word that He will never leave me nor forsake me. (1 Corinthians 3:16; Hebrews 13:5) His Spirit is ever with me and is indeed within me. He walks with me and His presence surrounds me. (Psalm 125:2.) He is my closest companion in this earth. He has broken the bars of the yoke of slavery that were once on my shoulders. He dashed them to pieces and declared that I am free! Through faith and perseverance I make sport of difficulties and disappointments and bring my Father glory in this earth.

Hope in God

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance. –Psalm 42:5    

My Prayer for Today

Father, though the world is in chaos, my faith is steady. You are above all—omniscient and omnipotent. None can succeed as Your enemy. And You are on my side. (Psalm 118:6.) I have Your Word that You will never leave me nor forsake me. (Hebrews 13:5.) You have promised that You will find no reason to cast me out. ( John 6:37.) Therefore, I can find no valid reason to be worried or alarmed. If You are for me, who can succeed against me? (Romans 8:31.)    

My Confession for Today    

I refuse to be depressed about any circumstance or situation I find myself in. I always keep in mind that my heavenly Father loves me with all of His heart and is caring for me every second of every day. (1 Peter 5:7; Jeremiah 31:3.) He commands His loving-kindness in the daytime and at night His song remains with me. (Psalm 92:2.) My Father never fails to be there for me. He is my Comforter who restores to me the joy of my salvation. (John 14:26; Psalm 51:12.) 

God Looks Favorably upon You and Is Pleased to Prosper You

For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My covenant with you. You shall eat the old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new. I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you. –Leviticus 26:9-11       

My Prayer for Today    

Father, this day is a good day. I have You on my side prospering everything I set my hand to do.(Psalm 1:3) I have Your strength, fellowship, counsel, and assistance. This is a stress-free day, for You are looking upon me favorably, making me fruitful, multiplying me, and confirming Your covenant with me. Every day brings new gifts for me to enjoy. What a pleasure it is to serve You, Father. I am Yours forever.         

My Confession for Today      

The Lord looks upon me with favor. He causes everything that I do to be fruitful and prosperous. He multiplies me in all good things and in every good way. He sets me apart unto Himself, establishing and ratifying His covenant with me. I am living in the fullness of His abundance. My increase is continual, so that I must regularly clear out the old to make room for the new. (Psalm 115:14.)

God Richly Gives You All Things to Enjoy

Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. –1 Timothy 6:17-19      

My Prayer for Today      

Father, never let me forget what matters most in life. Though I may prosper in every way and have all that I need and more, let it not be my first focus. Riches are fleeting and fully unworthy of my trust. You alone are my everlasting provision and safeguard against turmoil and disaster.             

My Confession for Today        

I am in complete self-control. I do not trust in uncertain riches, but in the counsel of my God. He richly provides me with good things of every kind to enjoy. I am not only rich in possessions, but rich in good deeds as well, being ever generous and always willing to share. Through my acts of generosity, I lay up for myself an abundance of treasures in heaven as a firm foundation for my future. (Matthew 6:20.) In this, I have taken hold of the life that is truly life-the very life that God desires for me to live. (Deuteronomy 30:19; John 20:31 NIV.)

The Lord Prepares Your Heart for His Instructions

LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may oppress no more. –Psalm 10:17-18       

My Prayer for Today    

Father, I am fully aware that You did not create one person to be more important than another. I realize that everyone I meet is in some way my superior, and that I, in some way, am theirs. Everyone is gifted and talented, and everyone has a divine mission to fulfill. Prepare me for mine, Father. Train me as a coach trains a prized athlete. (2 Timothy 2:5 NLT.) Cause my ear to hear and my heart to understand. (Psalm 143:8.)    

My Confession for Today    

The Lord has prepared my heart for His fellowship. His ear is attentive to the sound of my voice and He has prepared Himself to guide me in my way. (Psalm 73:24.) Those who oppress me shall now meet His justice. He has risen in my defense so the oppressor can oppress me no more. 

Your Harvest Constantly Increases

Bring back our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the South. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. –Psalm 126:4-6       

My Prayer for Today    

Father, You know my struggles and failures. You see all that I have suffered, much of which was from my own hand. Help me turn it around, Father. Bring me back from captivity. Cause my mistakes to become tools to help me organize my victory. Make my weeping a memory, Lord. Flood my life with the harvest of my hope.    

My Confession for Today    

My Father restores my fortunes like the raging streams of the Negev. (Psalm 126:4 NIV.) I have sown my seed and shall reap an abundant harvest. Through hardship and turmoil I have gathered my seed, and I have sown it in the midst of life’s troubles. But, oh, my latter end! What I have sown in tears, I will reap with joy! I gather my harvest in bundles so large they cannot be carried! Perseverance always smiles in the end, and I’m smilin’ big. (Romans 5:4-5.)    

The Word and the Name Are Supreme

I will worship toward Your holy temple, and praise Your name for Your lovingkindness and Your truth; for You have magnified Your word above all Your name. In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. –Psalm 138:2-3       

My Prayer for Today

Father, I fully understand that for me to worship toward Your holy temple is to worship toward myself. (1 Corinthians 3:16.) You now dwell within my heart. All of your strength, wisdom, and ability are right now within me. Every promise in Your Word is mine for the asking. When I present one to You, You respond with “yes” and “amen”. (2 Corinthians 1:20.) In Your presence I have endless provision and strength to conquer the day. You make it easy to be courageous, Father. With You as my partner I cannot fail.    

My Confession for Today    

God has exalted His name and His Word above all things. (Philippians 2:9-11.) They are the keys that open the door of certainty to all of my prayers. I am bold and stouthearted enough to enter into the very throne room of God and fully expect Him to fulfill His Word on my behalf. (Hebrews 4:16.)    

Do Not War According to the Flesh

Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. –2 Corinthians 10:3-5    

My Prayer for Today    

Father, I thank You that I have weapons of the spirit to fight against the devil’s horde. (Ephesians 6:10-18.) I have the spiritual force of faith to change my circumstances and make things right. You did not place me on this earth to be a helpless victim of the enemy’s attacks. To the contrary, You command me to be strong and courageous, and to overcome the world through faith. (Deuteronomy 31:6; 1 John 5:4.) Faith can never be divorced from courage. Therefore, I will live my life fearlessly and take my dominion over all that exalts itself against You.    

My Confession for Today    

Though I live in the world, I do not wage war as the world does, for the weapons of my warfare are not carnal, but spiritual. I have the very power of Christ to demolish every stronghold that has been raised up against the things of God. I tear down and refute all arguments, theories, reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of God. I take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.

If He Is Holy, so Are You

For if the firstfruit is holy, the lump is also holy; and if the root is holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if you do boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you. –Romans 11:16-18       

My Prayer for Today    

Father, I submit myself to You in all things and in every way. I joyfully acknowledge my total dependence upon You for salvation, power, and blessing. I know that when I trust the One within, I never go without. I am now grafted into the tree and have become a partaker of its root and its fatness. I am as blessed as heaven itself and have within me all power to do all things. (2 Corinthians 4:7 NLT.) I do not support the root, but the root supports me.    

My Confession for Today    

Jesus is the Vine and I am a branch of the Vine. ( John 15:5.) If the Vine is holy, I am holy as well. In this, I do not make an arrogant boast, just a statement of fact. It is a declaration of my total and complete dependency upon Jesus. It is the Vine that gives life to the branch. Without Jesus, I am nothing. It is not me who supports the Vine, but the Vine who supports me. 

The Word Is Your Defense

The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written….” Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.–Luke 4:3-4, 13    

My Prayer for Today

Father, train me in the ways of the Word and shield me from the deceptions of the enemy. Teach me to properly balance Your precepts and only move forward in ways that will bring You glory. (Psalm 119:27.) My life is not my own. I have given it to You in full understanding that You alone know what is best for me. I wish to be nothing more and nothing less than what You have created me to be. Make my life a self-actualizing journey of faith that glorifies You in every way.    

My Confession for Today    

I am a son/daughter of God led by the Spirit of God. (Romans 8:14.) When I am tempted by the devil, I use the Word of God as my defense. I understand that Satan and his demons know the Word well and will twist it to their own benefit. But I am a man/woman of the Word. It is rooted and grounded within my spirit in all wisdom and understanding. (Isaiah 11:2.) When the devil attacks, I rout him with it. (Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12.) 

He Shall Give You the Desires of Your Heart

Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. –Psalm 37:3-6    

My Prayer for Today

Father, You are my joy and my delight. In You I have wisdom, freedom, everlasting supply, and unending love. (1 Corinthians 1:30; Luke 4:18; Philippians 4:19; Jeremiah 31:3.) I commit my life to You in every way. Only by Your guidance am I guaranteed success. Take Your heavenly machete and carve a path for me in this jungle. (Ephesians 6:17; Psalm 73:24.) Lead me to treasures that only You can find. Bring me into the land of excitement, everlasting joy, and absolute fulfillment. (Psalm 16:11.)    

My Confession for Today    

I trust in the Lord, and I do what is good. I dwell in the land and feed on His faithfulness. I delight myself in Him and He gives me the desires of my heart. I commit my way to Him and He ensures my success. He causes my righteousness to shine forth as the light and my justice as the noonday.    

He Will Prosper Your Career

We urge you…that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing. –1 Thessalonians 4:10-12       

My Prayer for Today    

Father, help me to be industrious in Your kingdom. Help me to wade through the failures in order to obtain the blessings. Build in me a resilience that will withstand any attack the enemy brings against me. (Luke 10:19.) I know that the most successful people in the world are those who have failed the most, simply because they have done the most. May I never let obstacles or setbacks hinder me or shy me away from the prize that is set before me. (Micah 7:8; 1 Corinthians 9:24.)    

My Confession for Today

I make it my heart’s ambition to live a peaceful life, no matter how many devil heads I have to stomp to attain it. (Psalm 91:13; James 4:7.) I mind my own business, attend to my own affairs and needs, and work with my own hands to build a foundation for my prosperity. (Psalm 1:1-3.) I am dependent upon no man to meet my needs. I am never found begging for money or support. (Psalm 37:25.) In this way, my life wins the respect of those who are outside of faith.
