Good Morning

Adoration

All I have to give.
You were born into our depraved world, you had nothing. You gave us love in the truest sense.
You are God with us, God for us. The unspeakable name, I AM.

Declaration/Confession

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.

I confess my frustrations with my progress to you. I am frustrated. You have hidden the good from me that I'm supposed to find. Where should I look for your directions? How can I find your good intentions for me? Help me to set aside these frustrations and listen more closely to your calling.

Thanksgiving

I am grateful for an early start today. I pray that this helps me to feel the benefits of time. I pray you would help my hands as they work. Let me find the joy of my labor.
I thank you again for my family who is around me, supporting me. I pray that you would bless them and give them the ability to recognize your hand in our hardship. Help them to recognize how much we are trusting in you and how this helps.

Supplication

Let me be honest and say I need help in my unbelief. There is "Rob can do it." and then there is "God is doing it." I know that I need to study, get a certificate, apply for something - but what about you bringing that job I've been searching for during these last five years. Where is the fulfillment of knowing you are taking care of me? I see your provision, but is this my best? I feel down trodden and lame. I feel like an poor example of your follower. Why would anybody follow me to you when this is the path?

I know it isn't easy. I know you never promised luxury - but I'm not effective for you. I'm dead. I'm lost.

Love

I lean into your unconditional love. It is all I do know. It is all I know to give.
