Dear Lovely Reader,
I hope you are keeping well. As we draw close to end of this month and lockdown, I want to share this prayer of affirmation with you to declare over difficult situations in life. We are all facing uncertainty, some of us on a deeper scale than others. During these challenging times, I have and perhaps you too have let your heart and mind be troubled. One of the steps to overcoming anxiety in your heart is a prayer of faith. We are promised in God’s infallible word that whenever we decree a thing it shall be established and the light will shine on all our ways (Job 22:28).
Here is a prayer of faith I have put together – as you say this, let faith in God arise and you will know his power in quietness and trust.
Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you for this moment. I thank you that I can come to your throne of grace boldly. Thank you that you watch over me and that I am not alone in this situation.
You see and feel the pain, hurt, and discomfort. You look down on me with compassion.
I decree and declare
Your unfailing love will surround me as I trust in you (Psalm 32:10)
I am blessed because I trust in the Lord (Psalm 40:4)
I am like mount Zion and will not be shaken but endure through my situation by your grace and through the Holy Spirit (Psalm 125:1)
I will stand in perfect peace as my mind is steadfast on your promises and faithfulness (Isaiah 26:3)
I will acknowledge you in all my ways and lean not on my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6)
My paths will be made straight as you are working everything out for my good (Psalm 37:5, Romans 8:28)
I will be like a tree planted by water that does not fear when heat comes. Is not anxious in the year of drought or the storms of life but will remain green and never cease to bear fruit (Jeremiah 17:7-8)
I will have no fear of bad news because my heart is steadfast and secure, trusting in you (Psalm 112:7)
I know and believe in the power of your name, so I will trust in you (Psalm 9:10)
Lord I seek you with all my heart and know your goodness and blessings will come my way.
So my heart will trust, trust in only you. In Jesus name, Amen.
Peace and every good blessing be yours in Jesus Name. Amen
