FEED ON THE WORD OF GOD:
I want to encourage you to read the Bible daily. As you read your Bible, God is supernaturally writing His words on the tablets of your heart (Deuteronomy 6:6 and Ezekiel 3:10).
God is His Word and we are cleansed when we read it (John 17:17).
The Word of God is of no private interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20) Imagine looking at a diamond under a special light. If you turn the diamond a certain way, you may see shades of red. But, if you turn the diamond in another direction, you may see shades of blue. This is a description of the beauty of God's Word. His Word is always the same and He speaks to every area of our lives in every stage of our lives.

Prayer:
Father, I renounce unbelief in the name of Jesus. I ask that any unbelieving areas in my heart will be converted. I pray that I would be changed into Your image more and more each day. I confess my sins and I ask that You would forgive me and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. Your Word says in Isaiah 1:18, that though my sins be as scarlet You will make them white as snow. Give me a hunger and a thirst for righteousness. Purify me, oh Lord, by the power of Your Blood. I receive Your righteousness in exchange for my sin. I believe that you will do for me what I cannot do for myself. I choose to rest in Your goodness and Your love for me. I choose to cease from my labor and trust that I am a completed work in You. I am seated in heavenly places with You in Christ Jesus. I love you Father and I recommit my heart and my life to You. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
"The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior [Who saves]! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest [in silent satisfaction] and in His love He will be silent and make no mention [of past sins, or even recall them]; He will exult over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17 Amplified Version
Prayer:
Jesus, you spoke to the roaring sea and said, "Peace, be still". The sea became quiet as you commanded. Lord, my emotions are raging like a sea in the midst of a hurricane. Your Word says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. In the authority of the name of Jesus, I speak to my emotional state. Be at peace, in Jesus' name. I ask that the Holy Spirit over-shadow me now, manifesting peace in every area of my life. I pray that I would feel your presence all around me. Thank you that I can come to you and ask for what I need. Your Word says that You will hear me and that You will answer. I believe You have heard my prayer and I receive Your goodness. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.". Philippians 4:6-7 (New King James Version)

Prayer:
Father, I love you and I thank you for loving me. Thank you for the wonderful things you have planned for my life. Lord, I confess that I have thought more of what people think and say about me than what You think and say. I have valued others above honoring You. I have agreed with my enemies rather than agreeing with You. I ask You to forgive me. I repent of my feelings of inadequacy. I repent of putting people above You. I repent of putting myself above You. Lord, deliver me from the bondage of people pleasing. Lord, deliver me from the negative thoughts about myself. Thank you Lord for setting me free. I am free from what people think of me. I am free of the negative thoughts about myself. I choose to walk in agreement with You by obeying Your Word. I am accepted by God. I am loved by God. I have a wonderful future. No matter how I feel, I choose to agree with You. Stabilize my emotions by the power of your Spirit, Lord. I decree and declare I am not afraid of anyone or anything. Thank you Lord for setting me free. In Jesus name I pray and believe, Amen!
