Today

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry again, for not being more diligent.
I'm sorry for not taking more time with the boys.
I'm sorry for not bringing you to mind more.
I'm sorry for I know my frustrations are just below the surface and they are getting out throughout the day.
I'm sorry that my mind wonders from you.

Receive

I accept your love for me.
I accept your rod that guides me.
I accept your Spirit working in my life.
I accept your plan.


Rejoice

How can I be here? How can I survive? Somehow you have provided and continue to provide. I rejoice.
Who is this woman blossoming before me? Is this the wife of my youth? I rejoice.
I think of a time when we are in teh streets of gold. When there is no more crying. when you wipe the slate clean and we live in peace without turmoil. I rejoice.

Thankfulness

For another glorious day.
For heat
For food again on the table
For safety in my day to day
For health
For Dawn
For growth in my boys
For my friends that support and love us
I am thankful

Guard Me

Thank you, Lord, for my salvation. I receive it in a new and fresh way from You, and I declare that nothing can separate me now from the love of Christ and the place I shall ever have in Your kingdom.

 I wear Your righteousness today against all condemnation and corruption. Fit me with Your holiness and purity— defend me from all assaults against my heart.

Lord, I put on truth. I choose a lifestyle of honesty and integrity. Show me the truths I so desperately need today. Expose the lies that I am not even aware that I believe.

I do choose to live for the gospel at any moment. Show me where You are working and lead me to it. Do not let me become slack in my walk.

I lift the confidence that You are good against every lie and every assault of the enemy. You have good in store for me. Nothing is coming today that can overcome me because You are with me.

Holy Spirit, show me specifically today the truths of the Word of God that I will need to counter the snares of the enemy. Bring them to mind throughout the day.

Love

Help me to speak the truth in love all day. Give me confidence and boldness to help others from a place where they are stagnant to a place where they can thrive.

I choose to believe you.
