Come, Holy Spirit, come.
Gracious God, hear my cry.. Take this heaviness from me, take me up into Your Peace that I might be renewed and refreshed in You.
My sleep is restless and troubled, my voice is weak, my mind is busy and my heart is overwhelmed.. there is no measure I could take, no place I could search here on earth that can give me what I seek for You are the Lord my God, my Savior, my Bread of Life, my Living Water. You are eternal and IN You I find rest - You are Peace.
"If I'm letting you wrestle with it, then I have equipped you for it. Keep your eyes on Me, I am leading the way."
No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape so that you are able to bear it. (1 Corinthians 10:13 HCSB)
God, let me learn to be multi-lingual as You are.
I submit the Blood covenant of the Cross as final Authority against all earthly issues and declare release from Heaven - in Jesus Name
If this is where You've called me to, then this is where I'll be and I delight in You in all things... for who am I, at all, to presume to know what's good for me or to judge circumstances by my limited experience. I cannot afford to have one single thought in my mind that is not in Yours. You, alone, are God, my Lord, my Savior, my Friend, my Counselor, my Dad.
We are not fighting for victory, we're fighting FROM Victory.
Assume our posture IN a place of Victory, pursue life on these terms as we learn how wealthy we truly are according to God and His Kingdom...and the only thing we truly lack is confidence in His declaration "it is finished."
God, Your Glory! Your Presence! Your Goodness! Your Love! ...to spend my life adoring You is to be in the Highest Place... Sweet Jesus! My God! ♥
I declare eternity as the only acceptable definition for anything, in Jesus Name
Jesus IS the blueprint ♥
I kneel firmly in the place God has set my feet
God, come to us as You did Adam and Eve - let us walk in the Garden with You, once again, in the cool of the day, with no shame and no fear. By Your Son, Jesus Christ, You have restored us to our original place with You - but we are ignorant, Lord, and continue to justify and strive for our own sakes. Forgive us, O God, for our foolishness. Come, Holy Spirit, teach us the truth that we might shed ourselves for Your sake. Confront and convict us of our true identity in You as Your children that we might know and believe...You have graciously and abundantly provided for us in EVERY way. Use us to show the nations how You lavishly love!
God shows up EVERYWHERE! He reveals Himself in the most magnificant ways and also the most subtle... His Glory was unavoidable this entire trip leaving me quiet most of the time... and, for me, His Beauty, His Power, His Brilliance coming from all directions (from the smallest conversations to the laughter of a friend to the breath-taking landscapes -... all His Creation) overwhelmed me with reassurance: God is absolutely in control, in ALL things and He LOVES us! He woos us, pursues us, amazes us. *God's gotta take some things in order to bring some things.*
Daddy God, take it all. You created it all. It's all from You and I'm entitled to nothing. You lavish us with Your Love, Glory, and Grace and humbly we remain in Your Presence. All that You've given me I give right back to You, for You are my God - my Dad. My trust (my truth) is in You alone. Thank You for loving us so!
In the midst of a 'process' focus on the Promise.
With God, there are no strings attached.
You, Daddy God, are the source of it and You will see to it. I relinquish ownership - God, I surrender.
God has known who I am my whole life. He has known the mistakes I would make, the dealings I would entertain, and not once was He afraid. Not once did He say "oh no, she has disqualified herself from position in My Kingdom"... through every detail, every moment in my life, Daddy God knew me even when I didn't and considered me qualified, justified, and righteous through the Blood of Jesus. Through every mess I've made in my life, God never once considered the option of me not being His daughter. He marked me from eternity as His and has brought me through it all to fulfill the purpose He pre-destined for me. This is the grace of God.
As we seek God, sometimes He will wait until the very last moment to speak... simply because He enjoys spending more time with His children.
To move forward, to grow in Christ, we come to a place where we embrace the process that God puts us through. Whatever we value (outside of God Himself) is removed so that we can see Him clearly, coming into further alignment with His will. Then we are able to receive the assignment as we are now in focus, and can therefore be trusted with that assignment.
The Father finds it hard to understand why many legitimate heirs behave like slaves.
God is SO good!! He is faithful, complete, true, and most of all... He's our Daddy!
I keep seeing this 'clip' of Him, our Dad, doing important work. We, His children, are tugging at His coattails saying "Daddy, what are You doing?? I wanna see... Teach me too! I wanna help! I am Daddy's helper. Pick me up so I can see what You're doing..."
And then these big strong arms come down and pick us up, as He gently explains His business, and gives us something to do to help under His guidance and His supervision.

Jesus, let me see my reflection in Your Eyes ♥ show me who I am in Your Shadow, synchronize the beating of my heart with the rhythm of Yours ♥ wash me in the Oil of Your Love
Look into Jesus' face, as tho it were a mirror, find your reflection there. ♥
Father in Heaven, I pray for increase in our understanding. I pray that words are no longer reduced to just words, but that we feel Your Breath pushing life into us. We continue to make agreements with things, small and big, that are inconsistent with Your Truth. Show us that we are fully dead, we died with Christ. We are a new creature, by Your Hand ALL things are made new. Teach us not to raise ...
the dead, digging up the past which You have destroyed. We have been restored/repositioned back to Eden, in every way born again. We are fully new. I pray for an eye-opening, wake us UP! Any thought that reduces Truth in any way is a lie. Any report that challenges Your Goodness is false. Daddy God, I pray we run to You for wisdom. We are desperate for You, but we don't even know it. May we see all things how You see: PAST our past, all the way back to how You designed us, back to the very Beginning. Teach us what it truly looks like to be sons and daughters in Your Family. I pray we start living from a place of provision and that we understand what that means. Forgive us, O Lord. Open our eyes that we might know the fullness of Your Glory. In Jesus Name, I humbly pray.
I became unclean so you could be clean.
I became lies so you could walk in Truth.
I became illness so you could be in full health.
I became ugly so you could be beautiful.
I became hate so you could be love.
I became poor so you could be wealthy.
I took your distraction so that you might be focused.
I became blind so that you can see.
I became tired that you might find rest.
I took punishment so you could be excused.
I became death that you would have life.
I am the Tree of Eternal Life, whoever eats from Me shall live.

"My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work," Jesus told them. John 4:34
Lord Jesus, You are the One..the only One. I bow before Your Feet, O Lord. I submit and surrender my whole self to You God, my eyes - let me see Your fullness, my ears - may I know Your Voice as a sheep do a Shepard, my nose - let me smell the sweetness of You, my mouth, O God - let me taste of Your Goodness, my touch - I extend my hand up, up, up to You Father to be consumed by Your Love, my m...
ind - show me Heaven, my heart, Daddy God, fill my heart with Your abundant joy.
I am but a soft lump of clay in the Potter's Hands; shape me, make me, mold me, burn me, paint me, brand me. Posses me sweet Holy Spirit. Show me, take me, my answer is yes. I don't need to know a thing - my answer to You is yes.

I lay me down, Lord, upon Your chest. Synchronize the rhythm of my heart with the beating of Yours. Move me, Spirit, teach me to dance. Teach me to laugh. Teach me to play in Your Presence God. Make me a child with big dreams and a love for the world! Jesus, You took it all that I might be who Daddy made me to be - teach me what that looks like.
