She Lives in Freedom

by

Lord, when the enemy of my soul causes me to fall back into legalism, which can only complicate my faith, let me breathe the beautiful simplicity of the new commandment: love.

May I remember that I must first receive your love for myself by seeing myself the way you see me.

The self-deprecating thoughts must end. Harsh judgments I throw over myself must hush!

Your love is great, and only when I receive your love for myself can I bring it to others.

Let me look at my life through the lens of the gospel to see myself and others differently. May I deliberately breathe in grace for myself and exhale your grace and love to others. Your love is life-giving, filling my cup to overflowing with joy beyond expression. 

(Pray God’s Word: John 15: 9–11)

Her Advocate Has the Advantage over Her Adversary

by

Abba Father, my adversary is creating adversity, and life has become heavy and hard. But I choose to remember this truth today: my advocate, the Holy Spirit, is greater than my adversary, the devil. 

May I remember that the enemy of my soul is at the root of evil in my life.  

When I face what he throws my way, I must take out the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and speak your truth over my situation.  

The darkness that has cast a shadow over my life is not the end of the story because you have dominion over darkness.

You are the light I see, and as I walk by faith with you through this valley, you will lead me to the other side. Your Word is a lamp to my feet, a light to my path, and gives me power over the enemy of my soul.  

Holy Spirit, give me a truth today that I can cling to and use to speak over and over again when the tempter tries to convince me that my situation is hopeless.  

In this world, I may have trouble, but my God has overcome the world!  

(Pray God’s Word: Matthew 4:1–11, 16, 23–24; John 14:15–21; 16:33; Ephesians 6:17)

She Witnesses This Truth in Her Wilderness: God’s Power Prevails

by

Lord, the steps through the wilderness are always the hardest.

The very hardest.

Help me remember there is purpose in this pathway—even when I don’t understand.  

Let me live with hope by remembering my Egypt is behind me and the Promised Land before me.  

All you ask me to do today is to take the next step. Help me to get caught up not in knowing every detail of my God-ordained destiny, but in the sheer delight of a daily adventure of walking by faith. One step at a time.  

Sometimes you lead us into the wilderness for us to witness that your power is all we need. And so, I rejoice today. Though this season is difficult, you are building my faith for my destiny.  

(Pray God’s Word: Deuteronomy 8; Matthew 4:1–11)

Through Her Willingness to Trust, She Trades Watching the Holy Spirit from a Distance for Wading Deep into Those Life-Giving Living Waters

by

Father, my comforter, you call me away from the safe shore where I feel in control to soak in the living waters of the Holy Spirit through complete surrender. And I am ready to dive in.

Oh, let me be brave.  

Give me the courage that comes only from your Perfect Love casting out my fear. I confess that for years I have stood back as a spectator by studying the Bible instead of standing on the truth in such a way that it created active steps!  

But now I want to be brave…I see that releasing my resistance to the Holy Spirit by applying my Holy Spirit revelation is truly letting go to live as you intended. 

When John the Baptist called out in the wilderness for all God’s people to be immersed in water through baptism, the Pharisees proudly stood on the shore and watched. They resisted your call because they were resting in their heritage.

May I never forget that there is a difference between being a child of God and living a life led as a child of God!  

And then you, Yeshua, the King of kings and Lord of lords, willingly stepped into the waters of baptism because you willingly followed the Father. What a beautiful display of humble obedience to inspire me to act.  

Oh, Lord, I want to be immersed in the ministry of the Holy Spirit!  

Today I trade watching the ministry of the Holy Spirit for wading deep into those living waters by being willing to trust your still small voice.  

(Pray God’s Word: Matthew 3; James 2:14–26)

She Finds Security in His Strong Leadership

by

Abba Father, what a beautiful truth to behold: there is someone who watches over me with great love and desires to lead me.  

Sometimes I fear my future.

Sometimes I get overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done.

And I confess that sometimes I handle feeling fearful and overwhelmed by trying to figure things out on my own.  

Ahhh . . . but then you remind me that you desire to lead me each day in decisions large and small. I am not on my own to figure out life.  

You are my good shepherd. With your staff you lead me, and with your rod you protect me. I will not be afraid. I will not get overwhelmed.

Peace, be still my soul!  

I will stop and seek you, my sovereign shepherd, and simply take the next step, knowing that each step will lead to another as I listen for your still small voice. Just as you guided the wise men by a star and warned Joseph by an angel, you will speak to me in a voice I understand.  

Your voice creates unshakable confidence in me. What an awesome truth to remember: my good shepherd is watching over me and wants to guard and guide me. Amen.  

(Pray God’s Word: John 10:1–13; Matthew 2: 6, 9–13)

She Becomes Brave

by

Abba Father, you take my broken heart and make it brave through the power of your Perfect Love. Give me courage as you call me out into the great expanse of your plan for my life.  

I confess that sometimes I play it so safe that fear lodges in the center of my life instead of you. I want to know everything will work out before I step out.  

I talk about the dream in my heart but don’t take actual steps into the purpose you have for me. But this is not faith!  

Faith and actions walk hand and hand.

Today I choose to act.

You have not given me a spirit of fear! You have given me a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind. You have set me free to follow you without fear.  

(Pray God’s Word: Luke 1:72–75; 2 Timothy 1:7; Matthew 25:14–30; 1 John 4:18)

She Is Grafted into God’s Great Promises by Faith

by

Great and gracious Father, my breath is taken away at your generosity in my life.  

You ask for my faith in Christ and trust in you, and in exchange, you give me access to every promise given to Abraham. By faith, I share in the rich nourishment that flows from the abundant inheritance of God’s family.  

I renounce every lie from the enemy that I have received that produces a scarcity mentality. I instead choose to believe this truth: I have been entrusted with abundance beyond what this world can give me.  

To activate that abundance, I must act because faith and actions always walk hand and hand.  

Today I receive your abundance so that tomorrow I will have the capacity to give to others with the same abundance you have given me.

Yes! You are a good, good Father!   

(Pray God’s Word: Romans 11:17; Galatians 3:14; Ephesians 3:6; James 2:20; Genesis 12:1–3)

She Trades Her Worry for Worship

by

Almighty Father, when worry overcomes me, let me call on the one who is greater than any giant I may face. For greater is the Spirit that lives within me than the one in the world! 

When the enemy attacks with his lies, let that be a trigger that turns me right to you.

I win over worry with worship.  

Christ Jesus. Messiah. Healer. Defender. The name above every name. The Bread of Life, the Light of the World. My Anchor in the storm. Emmanuel—God with me. Jesus, my Kinsman Redeemer, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and End. My strength!  

I close in prayer today asking you for what I need and thanking you in advance for what you will do today and tomorrow and what you have done in the past.

May your peace that passes my understanding of the situation guard my mind. Amen.  

(Pray God’s Word: 1 John 4:4; Philippians 4:6–7; Mark 4:15–20)
