Journals of the Heart

Prayer of Supplication and Declaration

Lord, forgive me for taking my eyes off of You and the might of Your name. Help me to readjust my focus and place it with a fixed gaze on You. You go before me to make a way where there is no way. I take comfort in your abiding presence. There is nowhere to go from Your presence and I am grateful. I shout Your name and I am saved. I receive the light of the Lord and I am changed. Help me to be aware of even the tiniest thoughts before they have a chance to develop into strongholds of bitterness or unbelief in my life. I choose to set my face like flint in Your direction that I might not be dismayed by what I see around me.

Lord, I stand up to look into Your wondrous eyes of love and mercy. I choose to look into Your heart to see who I am. Your Word is an expression of Your heart and I will not forsake it or its instruction. I forsake worry, doubt and unbelief. Every thought the enemy brings which is contrary to the Word of God has no power in my life. I submit to the Word of God only. I take every thought captive and my mind is renewed in You. I embrace Your truth and loving kindness. I walk in Your enduring love. I open my heart and receive light into every hidden place within my heart. Come and fill me with all You have to give.

Help me to be ever mindful to lay my burdens at Your feet. So many times I get caught up in the business of life and before I know it I am inundated with burdens I am never meant to carry. I choose to come into Your presence with a thankful and grateful heart full of wonder about who You are—a steadfast God whose timing is always perfect. All Your promises are yes and amen in my life. I will not fear nor will I listen to the lies of the enemy about Your character and enduring love

Lord, I close my eyes and breathe deeply from the presence of Your abiding love. I inhale Your love and exhale all the frustrations, doubts, worries and things the enemy sends to assault me on a daily basis. I must stay in Your presence at all times, continually inhaling and exhaling in order to walk out a life of victory and peace. I confess my doubt and unbelief to You. I exchange the lies I have believed for Your truth. Arise O God and let my enemies be scattered to the four winds never to return. Victory is released into my life and I receive it as the truth and as a manifestation of my destiny. I arise and shine for my Light has come. Amen
