A Prayer of Strength and Hope

My Lord, I love You! I worship You, and I give You praise! You are my heart’s desire! You are my Lord, my Salvation, my Light, my Truth, and my Way! You alone are God! You are worthy of all praise! There is none like You!

Thank You my Savior, for holding my family and me close to Your heart. Thank You for believing in us, even when we couldn’t believe in ourselves! Thank You for helping us every single day!

Your word says that if You lead me to it You will lead me through it! I believe that. I believe that if I begin to fall in to a temptation that You will give me a way past it, that I will not succumb to the devil’s lies. I believe that You will grant me every weapon, every word of Yours to conquer the enemy! I dress myself in the armor You gave me that I may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand!

I stand, therefore, having girded my waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod my feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which I will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

I now take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God Himself, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—and for me that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the Gospel, for which I am an ambassador, that in it, I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak!

Thank You for the weapons of our warfare! Please Jesus; I hold my family, along with me, to You, to place our lives, this very day, into Your care and grace. Allow me to kiss Your holy face, and feel Your warm embrace today! Carry me through the storm! Clutch our hearts close to Your bosom, heal our pains, release our doubts, show us Your divine light and glory so that we will not fail! Give us strength, the strength of the Lord, as we know we can do all things through Christ which strengthens us.

You are awesome, God! An everlasting God! I will not faint, I will not grow weary! You’re the defender of the weak. You comfort those in need! You lift me up on wings like eagles! I have nothing to fear! Fear is a lie! To fear is to sin. You conquered death – death of my health, death of my finances, and death of relationships. You conquered it all! You died for it all! You are the Victor! And I am the victor, because I am the righteousness of God in Christ! I hold You up! I speak Your name – Jesus of Nazareth – into the enemy’s camp! My General, my Jehovah Nissi, lead me in battle! I follow You alone! I have strength in Your promises! I have deliverance in Your Word! I am able to do anything because through Christ I am strengthened!

My trust is in You, Lord. Your record has no losses! You have never been defeated! I belong to Your army – that of the righteous and through You I am sanctified and blessed! Hallelujah! Thank You my great and holy God! The immortal One, the Savior of my soul! To You I give my day. I will NOT grow weary thinking of the devil’s lies, because I KNOW the truth, and the Truth has set me free! Jesus is the Truth, the Life, and the Way!! There is no other God! THERE IS HOPE!! THERE IS GOOD OUTCOME!!

All good things come to them that wait! I wait on Your blessings and miracles today, Lord of all! I know they are coming! And they will fix all my sorrows! Amen

Picture yourself in a clear bubble that God has placed around you. Bring your family into that bubble. Now, picture the devil casting his fiery darts at you! Ping! Ping! Ping! Down they fall after hitting the protection that God has given you! See the ugly monstrosity grab a canon and wheel it at you, with his sick and perverted smile spreading on his excuse for a face. See him light the match and place it on the wick, see the canon ball come sailing at you. Ping! Down it goes!!! See him get a nuclear warhead and aim it right at your heart! Fire! See it hit the bubble and not even chip it!!! PING! Down it goes! NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME WILL PROSPER!!!!

Hold on to the promises of the Lord, He will never ever leave nor forsake you! WooHoo!!
