Today, not only do I pray for myself but I am also praying for my CHAMPION friends. Praying for those that are dealing with sickness, lack of finances, for those looking for a job and those searching for peace.
I pray that the Lord would silence the doubters/enemies in your life that have you feeling like you can't make it, when in fact the word of God has declared that you are above and not beneath, you are the head and not the tail.(Deuteronomy 28:13) Stand up tall and use your kingdom authority and let satan know to get thee behind you! (Matthew 16:23)
Yes, you may be on medicine but God gives us wisdom and direction and through his word we can declare that "by his stripes you are healed of your infirmities." Isaiah 53:5
Thank you for the direction of our finances, according to Proverbs 3:5-6 that we should trust in you, so we trust you with our finances, thank you that you are helping us to become better stewards over what you have given us. Help us to hold onto your word found in 2 Corinthians 9:10 "For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you."
Lord we know that we are faced with tough economic times and jobs are scarce however, Lord you can provide. I pray that you would open our minds up to the creativity that you have given us for we know that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalms 139:14 it is in our wonderfulness that our creativity can be poured out...I pray that through this process new ideas and businesses are birthed!
For my friends that are wrestling with life and you feel as if you are being penned down to the ground and you can't take another breath, I pray that you will begin to receive God's peace. May his peace saturate every restless area of your life, may you not look to others for peace but look solely to God. Lean on his everlasting arms...."Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
As we continue to seek you God, I pray that you would give my friends strength, without your strength, they will not have your joy. So today may we all receive your strength. Help us to not go weary in doing well, and even though our legs feel week, help us to be mindful that the race isn't given to the swift nor to the strong, but to the one who endures until the end. For you are the author and finisher of our faith, it is in you that we put our trust! (Nehemiah 8:10, Galatians 6:9, Ecclesiastes 9:11, Hebrews 12:2, Psalms 20:7; 56:3)
In Jesus Name!
Amen!
