MY PRAYER & DECLARATION OF FAITH
“No love of the natural heart is safe
unless the human heart has been satisfied by God first.” Oswald Chambers
My Prayer:
Dear Lord, I have come to learn that
searching for perfect, unfailing love in anyone else other than You is not only
fruitless, it is miserably disappointing and destructive. I am convinced that my heart will not be healthy until
it is satisfied by Your Love, O God. My heart desperately needs care in Your
ICU, so I hold it out before You like an empty cup waiting for it to be fill by
Your perfect Love.
I have tried to have my cup filled
through approval, affirmation, control, success, or immediate gratification
from others and it has not worked. Now I pray as it says in Psalm 143:8, “Let
the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in
you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.” O God, You are
the Great Soul-ologist and I offer You my empty cup and ask You to fill it with
Yourself! For only then can I be as Colossians 2:10 proclaims “I am complete in
Him.” I come to You, Lord. Pour Yourself into me and overflow me now.
Psalm
13:5-6
Lord God, help
me to trust in Your unfailing love; cause my heart to rejoice in Your
salvation. Help me to sing to You, Lord, for You have been good to me!
Psalm
17:6-8
I call on You,
O God, for You will answer me; give ear to me and hear my prayer. Show the
wonder of Your great love, You who save by Your right hand those who take
refuge in You from their foes. Keep me as the apple of Your eye; hide me in the
shadow of Your wings.
Psalm
25:4-7
Show me Your
ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths, guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You
are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long. Remember, o Lord, Your
great mercy and love, for they are from old. Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious way; according to Your love remember me, for You are good, O
Lord.
Psalm
48:9
O God, help me
to meditate on Your unfailing love! Help me not have the sin of unbelief after
all you’ve done to tell me You love me and show Your love for me.
Psalm
136:1-8,23-26
I give thanks
to You, Lord, for You are good: Your love for
me endures forever. I give thanks to You, the God of gods: Your love for me endures forever. I give thanks to
You, the Lord of lords: Your love for me
endures forever. To You who alone does great wonders: Your love for me endures forever. Who by Your
understanding made the heavens: Your love for
me endures forever. Who spread out the earth upon the waters: Your love for me endures forever. Who made the
great lights and the sun to govern the day: Your love for me endures forever. To You, Lord, the One who remembered me in my
lowly state and freed me from my enemies: Your love for me endures forever. I give thanks to the God of heaven: Indeed,
Your love for me endures forever.
My Declaration:
I declare that I am a beloved child of the
most high God, my Father in Heaven. I will rejoice in what the bible tells me,
that God sees me as one of His precious children. I am forgiven through my
belief in Jesus and an heir to the Kingdom of Heaven. My sins are forgiven and I
am washed clean as if they never happened. As
God’s favored Child, I receive all of my gifts and eternal salvation. I declare
this with faith and my actions will follow the words from my lips.
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank You for knowing me so well that nothing surprises You ... Not my
thoughts, not my problems, not my actions, not my worst circumstances or my
worst sins. Thank you that I am forgiven by Your Grace for believing in You.
Lord I thank You that You still have a plan for me. I look forward every day to
see how You can use me.
Dear Heavenly Father, You are truly my
Father and I am Your favored and prized child. I know You are overflowing with
pride in me, love for me, and blessing You want to give me. Lord, help to live
in this awareness. So many times I doubt myself and I know that isn’t of or
from You. Pour out Your love upon me so I can rest in the knowledge of how deep
Your love is for me. Give me Your Grace Father. Shower me with provision. Fill
me with Your Spirit. Overflow me with Your Love and Mercy. Remove fear from my
life. Replace it with an abundance of Trust in You. When I sleep, fill my
thoughts with the plans You have for me. Give me visions to see and think like You
do. Lord You are where my strength comes from. I pray You show me how cherished
I am to You daily, in Jesus’ Name. AMEN!
