for Identity

February 5, 2017

God, I PRAISE you because you left your people with peace and fullness of joy. You chose me, and this was not from any righteousness of my own. Rather, before the foundation of the world you saw me and decided you would adopt me into your family. You chose me out of the world.
God, I REPENT of the ways I have thought about myself... that I could work my way into your grace, or somehow fall away from it. I REPENT of behaving as if your power at work within me is not strong enough to conquer the world and the evil one who lives in it.
God, I ASK for you to demolish every argument and every opinion that creeps into my mind and take captive every thought and make it obedient to your truth. If there is any thought I have of myself that is not true, destroy it. I ASK that you would give me eyes that would see me how you see me- blameless, clothed in white, a conqueror, made perfect in weakness, a possessor of every good thing, chosen and formed in secret. 
YES, Lord your thoughts toward me are wonderful. YES,the mighty Spirit who lives in Christ, lives in me and gives me life and confidence to draw near to the throne of grace which give me mercy and grace to help me in time of need. YES, Lord you have given me every spiritual blessing in Christ.

for Family

February 9, 2017 God, I PRAISE you for taking my siblings from a harmful environment and putting them in a safe and loving family. What a beautiful picture of gospel redemption! God, I ASK for your protection over my siblings. Wherever they go, whether up to the heavens or down to the depths, may your hand guide them. I ASK that the darkness will not cover them but that their sin would be exposed, for darkness is as light to you and you uncover everything whether good or evil. O LORD may they desire what is good! May they think about what is honorable, what is pure, what is lovely, what is just, what is excellent, and what is worth of praise. May they practice these things, so that peace will reign in them. Create in them a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within them. Do not cast them from your presence. Give the, fullness of joy in your salvation alone. For, how can a youth keep his way pure other than guarding it according to your word? May they hide your word in...

for Passion

February 4, 2017 God, I PRAISE you because of your steadfast love that never ceases, because of your compassion that never fails, for your new mercies every morning, and for your great faithfulness that continues regardless of my pursuit of you. I PRAISE you for being my satisfaction and my hope. God I REPENT of trying to manufacture this passion on my own, of thinking it is my responsibility to conjure up the desire to pray, instead of your Spirit at work within me, helping to fan into flame the belief you are able to do abundantly more than I could ask or imagine. God, I ASK you to listen to the prayer of your servant, to incline your ear to hear, and to open your eyes to see my desolation. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your servant is called by your name. Create in me a clean heart, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or allow me to quench your Spirit. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit...
