My Prayer:
Jesus Christ, my precious Lord who hears me, Help me to always keep the faith. Faith is believing in the unseen; going on, trusting, and believing that You are there even when I can't see You; faith is the substance of things hoped, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). My faith is expressed by my actions; it is expressed by what I do (James 2:14-17). You are the One who empowers me to be confident that You are always here to help me. You are the One who empowers me to remember that I don’t need to worry about life and that no circumstance is too great for You to handle (Matthew 6:25-34). Remind me that You are the One who replaces my worrying thoughts with Your heavenly thoughts. Help me to remember that if I dwell on worrying thoughts, they will only cause problems for me. You are the One who empowers me to stop allowing worry to consume my life. Answer my prayers and hear me in my urgent need. You are the One who lifts me up and holds me in Your mighty arms when I am low. If I let go of You, reach for me and wait to hold me again. You are the One who empowers me to remember that You will never let me down and that You will never leave me nor forsake me (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Lord, You are the One who empowers me to believe and trust that You are there for me the minute I ask You for help. Remind me that You are the One who demonstrates the depths of Your mercy, through me, to others at all times—especially when they need it the most. Remind me that Your everlasting passion and love nourishes their hearts through me. Through You, Lord Jesus, we can all be delivered into the power of Your glorious light. Oh, how great You are to love us all, right where we are, in every circumstance and in every situation. Remind me that You are the One who empowers me to be transformed by the renewing of my mind, that I would discover and understand the importance of Your will in my life and the very best that You have for me (Romans 12:2). I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Dear Lord Jesus, my dedicated and most important God Almighty who is royal, I believe and trust that You are my all-sufficient and all-powerful God who can do all things with ease. You are my big and powerful God and You care deeply about me. I receive Your peace, rest, strength, joy, and faith to walk with You every day. You are my stunning, thrilling, and darling Lord of lords. You are the One who sets me aglow unto others. You are my brave, bold, and courageous guardian. At all times, You are my Light of the World and glorious Helper. You are my Lord who beams with compassion. You are the One who sets my heart ablaze with Your love. You are the One who helps me to maintain a respectful appearance unto You. Your love for me is exceedingly and abundantly greater and greater. You are the One whose love for me is strong and powerful. You are the One whose love is patient, kind, content, humble, respectful, well-behaved, sacrificial, even-tempered, good, righteous, honest, faithful, hopeful, and enduring—Your love always wins (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)! You are the One who is love (1 John 4:8) and Your love and care for me is greater than the loving care a father has for his child. You are the One who continuously gives me amazing and surprising gifts for Your honor and glory. You are the One who always upholds Your promises to me. My everlasting Father, I thank You and I pray in Your faithful name of power, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
“We need to talk.” -God
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, my Prince of Peace, You are the One who empowers me to remember that, with Your help, I can change every day and that I can learn and grow in You. Remind me that You are my faithful friend and companion who rescues me. Remind me that from the moment I let You into my heart, You have been there to stay. Every day, You seek a deeper and more meaningful relationship with me and I with You. Help me along my way with Your unconditional love and search for more room in my heart; expand Yourself in my spirit. Thank You for empowering me to stand firm in these evil days for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to remember that I am not alone and that You live within me. Help me to remember that as I grow in You, I will have growing pains. You are the One who empowers me to unite with other believers so that we can find comfort together. Greet me each and every day with Your love. Give me confidence on Your journey for me, which is filled with Your budding, beautiful, and different flowers—lilies and marigolds.
Remind me that You are the One who empowers me to remember that You are always with me. Remind me that many people associate contentment with money, recognition, and successful relationships only to be disappointed. Remind me that they still have a void because they’re missing You in their hearts. Remind me that You are the only One who can give us all full contentment and peace. You are the One who empowers me, Jesus, to recognize the things in my life that rob me of Your contentment, love, compassion, and peace. Help me to understand and remember that long-term anxiety has no place in my life as a believer. Remind me that fear and depression are tools the enemy uses to lure me away from Your blessings. Remind me that these peace-killing emotions only exist in my life when I don’t trust You. Remind me that fear, anxiety, and depression are like carrying 100 lb. weights on my back. As I walk, sit and sleep, the weights become heavier. You are the One who empowers me to envision Your mighty hand reaching down to lift them off of me to set me free. Remind me that You want to release me from every burden I’m carrying. As I trust You and release my anxieties, fears, and heartaches to You, You are the One who opens up my heart to Your peace and contentment. Remind me that You have given me Your peace, that You left it with me, that it is not the peace that the world gives, and that my heart does not need to be troubled or afraid (John 14:27). At all times, when I’m ready, You are willing to take my burdens. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Thank You for empowering me to exercise the authority and dominion You have given me over the enemy for Your honor and glory! Teach me, help me, and remind me that You have empowered me to walk in the authority You have given me. I want to take advantage of every opportunity You have for me. Help me to understand, believe, and trust in You and in Your Word. In my time of need, when my addictions come calling, empower me to remember that You are my fortress, my refuge, and my retreat!

Your perfect and true advice, which is found in Your Word, is my top priority by which to live.

I take what You give me (people, places, and possessions), I anoint it, and I give it back to You in prayer to purify and to bless for Your service. Lord Jesus Christ, I fix my eyes and heart upon You and I see Your true light of compassion and understanding that You want me to share with others.

My Beloved Jesus, who willingly, lovingly, and joyfully gives me Your Heavenly knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to live by, Thank You for the great honor and privilege of belonging to You. You are my Awesome God who has all power. I am Your child, and I am so grateful for these truths. You always put everything in the right perspective for me. You are my Most High God! You are my great King over all the earth. How awesome are the works of Your hands! I say to others, “Come and see the works of my Lord. Come and see what He has done for me and for all people. He is so amazing and perfect!” Who could be more spectacular and have as great compassion as You to go to the cross for me? Your rightful and proper place is as my all-sufficient God Almighty. You are the One who is truly stunning. I thank You for Your terrific work in my life, and I praise You for who You are. Holy, holy, I adore thee! Your abilities and willingness to serve truly are of Heaven.
You have made a way for all to enter into Your love and Your healing is freely offered to all people. You help those no one wants to help; those who are suffering the most. You help those who are regarded as too old, too guilty, and too weak. You help those who are “beyond help.” You seek the lowly ones when no one else cares for them. You send people who are filled with Your loving-kindness to help the lost enter Heaven so they can get up and walk with You. You reach out to the dying criminals who have been condemned, only hours before entering lost eternity, with hopes that they would accept You as their personal Lord and Savior. The man next to You on the cross cried out to You and You said, “You will be with Me in paradise.” Jesus Christ, You specialize in bringing the broken to You and You specialize in renewing them. Your strength is perfected in our weaknesses, and You suffered that we would have abundant life in You. You have given humanity eternal freedom and an everlasting hope of glory.

Dear Jesus Christ, my Protector, Carefully form me into Your image as You brush me with Your tenderness and the molding of Your peace in my life. Remind me, when I am struggling with tragedies, that You are with me and that You have promised to empower me and give me Your knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and strength as ways through those times for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to remember that You truly do love me with Your unconditional love. You are the One who empowers me to not worry about my life and remind me that it is in Your hands. Thank You for giving me whatever I need, when disaster strikes, to get through triumphantly for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me, when I am overwhelmed and let down, to remember that I need to believe that You are the ultimate problem solver. You are the One who empowers me to remember that You hold me tightly, even when the going gets tough, and You love me at my very best and my lowest worst. Empower me to roll every care and cast every burden upon You. Remind me that You will take care of everything I give to You and that I don’t have to worry anymore. Place me on a path to bring lost souls to You and spread Your Heavenly nourishment through my whole body, soul, and spirit. One thing I know for certain is that You, my Lord Jesus Christ, are always eager to help me! When I feel I cannot bear the weight, You are the One who gives me the strength to move forward. Thank You for the fact that Your active role in my life is to protect, love, and bless me for Your honor and glory. You are my everlasting hope.
Remind me that I am in the world but not of it. Fill me with Your joy and peace. My precious God, allow my love to abound for You more and more every day. You are my beautiful character of love. You are the One who teaches me Your great and wonderful ways and I accept them in my life. Your love is the greatest and most compassionate love. No one can buy Your love—You give it freely to whoever wants it. Today in my walk with You, I see green trees in all shapes, beautiful rocks, and many wild animals—even a skunk. I know, Lord, that You have a purpose for everything—even the skunk. I hear Your singing birds, singing from You to me. I lay in Your beautiful green grass and rest in You for a while as I look at Your lovely and lavish flowers against the sidewalk. Your beauty is beyond beauty and it stretches over the mountains. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my abundant life, You are my Savior and You are my stepping stone to Your true and abundant life. Your teachings are my ongoing recovery from a sinful past. You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I fall back, my functions change dramatically. I become confused, I stop recognizing Your love, I look to worldly pleasures for comfort rather than to You, and I experience a low of hopelessness. You are the One who empowers me to rebuke the darkness in the lonely places of my life. You are the One who empowers me to put on Your whole armor and empowers me with Your strength to put every fruit of the flesh in Your hands and to rebuke them—adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, and revellings (Galatians 5:19-23).
You are the One who empowers me to repent of every fruit of the flesh and receive Your forgiveness. You are the One who empowers me to abstain from out of control emotions and radical reactions and feelings—especially in difficult situations. You are the One who delivers me from depression and gets me through the rough times.

My delightful God, thank You for splendor of Your creation. I pray in Your precious name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Through the power of Your Holy Spirit, I learn to operate in the gifts You have given me. As I put You first, I learn to love and walk with You.

My Prayer:
Jesus Christ, my Friend who loves me, You are the One who empowers me to remember that types of child abuse include physical, emotional and sexual abuse and neglect. Children can suffer physical abuse, emotional scars, malnutrition and, sadly, even death. Child abuse also cripples precious young lives. These children struggle to accept You as their loving Heavenly Father (Matthew 18:5, 6). Family members often suffer silently and the offenders suffer as well. The offender suffers from the shame and secrecy of his addictive behavior. Lord Jesus, remind me that, through You, others and I can get relief from our abuse. You are the One who empowers me to remember that my anger is associated with the pain from my past—trauma I experienced that I never really dealt with—when feeling abandoned as a child. You are the One who reminds me that the anger usually isn’t associated with the event that I’m experiencing at the moment. Lord Jesus, empower me to understand and set me free when I get so angry with the entire world because of something that happened to me a long time ago. You are the One who empowers me to understand and set me free when I lash out at everyone who comes into contact with me because of the constant pain I have deep down inside of me. Give me Your understanding and set me free, Lord, when I feel so hurt and I don’t want to let anyone come close to me; when I have built up blocks of protection. When I use anger as a way of protecting myself from further hurt, give me Your understanding and set me free.
You are the One who reminds me that certain situations subconsciously remind me of events that happened a long time ago and that they can cause me to automatically react with anger. Subconsciously, I don’t want others to hurt me, so I defend myself by striking first with anger and hurtful words. You have taught me that my past hurts are the roots of my anger and that they are still living in me. Thank You for empowering me to understand and give my past hurts, abuse, and people who have harmed me to You, to take away and heal me for Your honor and glory. As we walk together, on Your path, I see a beautiful green tree and under it is a bed of green pachysandras with little white flowers and heart-shaped violets bordering the walkway. Today, I will sow the seeds of Your ways in my mind and heart to pass on to others for Your honor and glory. Oh, how You nourish Your creation with Your love and compassion! As You show me Your beauty and love, You bring me up when I am low by putting Your beautiful creation before me. I pray in Your wonderful and nourishing name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus Christ, my God who supplies all my energy, You are sharp, active, and alive in my life. You are my awesome God who is aware of every detail of my life. You are brighter than a million glowing suns and You are my tender, joyful, and warmhearted friend. You are my wonderful, welcoming, and nice host. You are my pleasant and good Helper. You have promised to answer every prayer, according to Your will, when two or more agree. As You empower me to help other people, we come into agreement for Your honor and glory. You are my gracious and approachable God who loves me. You are my totally resourceful Lord who brings me joy. You are my absolute, loving, and prepared prosperity!
You send various kinds of thoughts to my soul like beautiful, fragrant flowers. You give me wonder-working power to change and to grow in You and to be like You. When thoughts that are not of You creep up, You come in and say, “Rebuke those thoughts and let My truth blossom in your mind!” Every day, my precious and beloved Lord Jesus, You allow the new seeds of Your Heavenly thoughts to sprout up and arise in me just like exquisite, dazzling, and divine flowers. In You, my thoughts become a grand and splendid bouquet of love and compassion.
Thank You for empowering me with Your knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to gain an awareness of and overcome my emotions for Your honor and glory! Thank You for teaching me how to respond to my emotions in a Godly, proper, and healthy way. You, my Lord Jesus Christ God Almighty, are the One who empowers me to act in a Heavenly manner. You are the One who gives me the ability and authority to understand and have dominion over my feelings. You are my Mighty God who empowers me with Your love, compassion, understanding, kindness, and vitality to move forward in the way You want me to go. You are the One who has empowered me to take control of my life and feelings, that I would walk in Your abundant and splendid peace, which is in my heart and in my life. Thank You for empowering me to choose a more effective and positive way of living for Your honor and glory! You have empowered me to talk directly to You as my wonderful and powerful Counselor, in prayer, to receive all of the answers and healing that You willingly give to me because of Your grace and because I have asked. You have taken my interests and made them Yours. As I walk upon Your path, I realize that spending time with You is like walking quietly in deep woods near running streams; amazing joy and calm come from being with You. Your love is also like an ocean. I let all Your love pour upon me and You are the harbor where I am safe and warm. As You gently carry me on Your waters, I’m like a boat sailing through life and, in You, I am confident in all things. I thank You and I pray in Your beautiful and gracious name of freedom, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
“Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances.”

My Prayer:
My Lord Jesus Christ, who is here with me, You are the One who gives me a new start today. Balance my day. You are the One who empowers me to feel sure about this day. You are the One who empowers me to do what I need to do. Lord Jesus, You are the One who provides me with a new start. You are the One who gives me Your source of energy and strength. Thank You for empowering me to fully absorb Your love, compassion, and peace every day so I can go on for Your honor and glory. Be kind to me, Lord. You are the One who empowers me with my needs. You are the One who empowers me to make the right choices today and every other day and night. You are the One who empowers me to keep my life active for You, Lord. In all my busy time, be with me. You are my prescription for life. My Lord, You are the One who empowers me to remember that guilt can send me into doubting You. You are the One who reminds me that doubt is sin and that it comes from not trusting in Your powerful and living Word of truth. You are the One who reminds me that doubt interrupts Your truth, which is in my mind and heart. You are the One who reminds me that when I doubt, hope dies and sin lives. You are the One who reminds me that doubt keeps me from making the right decisions and that it causes me to feel guilt and shame.
Lord, I need to receive Your strength and love right now! You are the One who reminds me that doubt can cause me to stop praying and can cause me to stop seeing reality. You are the One who reminds me that doubt can cause me to become anxious and impatient. You are the One who reminds me that it can cause me to do things my way and mess up. You are the One who reminds me that doubt can delay the solution in what I’m doing for You and Your purpose. You are the One who reminds me that doubt can paralyze my walk with You, that it can stop me from overcoming, and that it can disable me from functioning properly. You are the One who reminds me that doubt keeps me from exercising Your powerful and living Word of truth. You are the One who reminds me that doubt can make me give up, despair, become weary, and become uncaring.
What I need is specific, Lord—I need You! I need You to direct me. Speak to my heart and soul. You are the One who empowers me in my current condition. You are the One who enters all of Your support into my life. You are the One who makes me alert. I need you, Lord! You are the One who frees me from all the bondage that is upon me; all that is not of You. You are the One who provides a way out for me. You are the One who engraves my heart and soul with who You are. You are the One who lets me receive Your strength and love. Thank You for empowering me to be released from the bondage of despair, doubt, shame, and guilt into Your glorious light, for Your honor and glory. I’m still on Your path, Lord, and as we walk together, I see a white bench and we sit and rest together holding hands. Across the path, I see planted asparagus ferns surrounded by sweet, white alyssum. I thank You for Your charm of the soft summer. My blessed Father, I love You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ! So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

I am Your temple and You have empowered me with Your authority to express Your great qualities to the world and to live a life of love, power, intelligence, and freedom!

My experienced Lord Jesus Christ, who has all wisdom, You are the One who empowers me and prepares me with spiritual exercise to endure long distances and tests of faith. I need You! You're the expert. You are the One who empowers me to start this day with You. You are the One who indicates to me what I should do for my loss of strength. You are the One who shows me how to determine what to do and what is good for me. You are the One who empowers me to monitor what I put in my life, body, soul, and spirit every day. You are the One who reminds that if I sin, I must humble myself to You quickly and usher myself into our Father’s throne room—clothed in righteousness by Your blood—to receive mercy and find grace (Hebrews 4:16). You are the One who brings me back into Your light!
You are the One who reminds me that if I choose not to forgive, the weight of bitterness, resentment, and anxiety can hang over my shoulders and I can miss many of Your blessings. You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I refuse to forgive others, broken relationships can come into my life, I may stop caring for the welfare of others, and I may lose confidence in Your promises to protect me and give me good things. My God Almighty, You are the One who reminds me that when others sin against me, they sin against You first and they may not know You personally. You are the One who reminds me that if I refuse to forgive, I can become arrogant, proud, and self-sufficient, saying things like, “Why should I forgive!? I can handle this on my own!” You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I do not forgive, pride can grow in my heart and I can be kept from the grace of Your Spirit of forgiveness. You are the One who reminds me that if I refuse to forgive, even when the inflictions are severely deep, I can lose hope and peace. You are the One who reminds me that the power to forgive is in my hands and that unforgiveness closes Your door of healing for the person who harmed me and for me. You are the One who reminds me that if I am unwilling to forgive I can become unmerciful, harsh, unremitting, and unwilling to allow others to correct their mistakes. You are the One who reminds me that if I do not forgive others, You will not forgive me (Matthew 6:15). You are the One who empowers me to remember that when I forgive those who have hurt me, You will forgive me and You will fully restore me! Thank You for empowering me to repent and forgive, that You would lift the weight of many great burdens off of me for Your honor and glory.
Father, You are the One who empowers me to be led in Your ways and You empower me to only associate with those with whom You want me to associate. You are the One who has redeemed me, Lord! You are the One who pulls me out of all of these burdens and out of the enemy’s hands. You are the One who takes Your righteous hand and guides me. You are the One who makes me strong and fills my whole body, soul, and spirit with Your confidence and magnificent abilities. Thank You for empowering me to forgive, that I would be set free for Your honor and glory. You are the One who gets me to the right place in Your perfect timing.
Today on Your path, we are walking together and You have put spectacular flowers before me. They are verbenas and they rise above the foliage to see You. I see so many blooming flowers that last from spring to fall. You have given them names like little pinky, bright pink rose, salmon-colored princess glorias, raspberry rose, and bright red starfires! They are all in their own bouquets. Thank You, my holy One, for Your beautiful treasures of life, which You give me along my path with You. I pray in Your name of power, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
My Lord Jesus Christ, my mighty Rock, Redeemer, and God Almighty, You are my enthusiastic, capable, and good God. You are my secret place of rest. You are my experienced, committed, faithful, and mighty Warrior. You are my healing, my peace, and my harmony. You are my living and active captain. You are my certain, aware, and guiding communicator. You give me spectacular experiences, visions, and light to help me grow closer to You and fulfill Your will for my life. You give me every one of Your awesome answers and You comfort me with Your great, wonderful, and everlasting love. You give me Your thoughts to overcome. You are the first thought in my mind when I wake up. When I consider my day, I choose and it is my will to, with Your help, put it in Your hands as I say, “What's next, Lord? What are Your plans and purposes for me today?” Precious Father, I put every day in Your loving and big-hearted hands. I commit my whole being—body, mind, and heart—to You to do as You please.
You are the One who speaks to me in Your small voice and You have empowered me to forgive! You have fully restored my joy! You are the One who directs me in the freeing act of forgiveness. You are my God who empowers me to draw near to You and You give me the opportunity to come into Your presence through forgiveness. Through the power that You have given me to forgive, I have been cleansed and refreshed in my whole body, soul, and spirit; marvelous blessings have come because I’ve obeyed Your call to forgive! You have taught me how to quickly forgive, move forward, and focus on things that are beneficial to me and to others. You are my awesome King of kings who reminds me of what You said on the cross, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.”
Thank You for empowering me to recommit myself to You each night before sleeping and to thank You for all of Your gracious and overflowing blessings that have chased me down for Your honor and glory. Thank You for going ahead of me for the next day to arrange all things perfectly in order for me for Your honor, glory, and Kingdom. You are greater than rubies, diamonds, and every other precious stone. You glisten in my heart and sometimes I even see all sorts of beautiful colors, knowing that they are of You. The true effectiveness of my prayers depends on You. You bring a lift to my mind and You renew my heart every moment. Through faith, You are my new beginning that moves me with Your love and courage. I thank You and I pray in Your highly exalted name, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
Sometimes God has to come in with some shock treatment to get my attention. So many times, I believe that I don't need the Lord and that I can walk just fine without Him. This is the enemy’s lie to me to try to lead me on his road toward death. The enemy is against me!
I need You, Lord; I love You, Lord; and You are for me!

My Prayer:
My Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, who gives me a new identity in You, You are the One who empowers me to make my thoughts obedient to You. You are the One who programs my mind according to all Your goodness and according to Your powerful and living Word of truth. You are the One who gives me Your courage, Lord. You are the One who empowers me to change my unbelief to belief in You in all areas. Jesus, thank You for empowering me to cast down every stronghold and imagination that is not of You and that is not in Your hands for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to cast down any thought that is contrary to Your powerful and living Word of truth; every thought that keeps me in fear and bondage. You empower me to take away the world's influences that claim my attention.
You are the One who reminds me that guilt is an emotion that can be a deadly one. You are the One who empowers me to remember that You do not condemn me when I violate Your moral law. You are the One who reminds me that guilt is intended to lead me to conviction, then to confession, then to repentance. You are the One who reminds me that guilt should never ruin my life or keep me trapped. You are the One who reminds me that it takes faith to resolve true guilt. You are the One who reminds me that anger can come from feeling guilty. You are the One who reminds me that guilt can be expressed by passive behavior. You are the One who reminds me that guilt becomes sin if I hold on to it. Thank You for empowering me to understand and bring all my guilty feelings to You to receive Your forgiving grace, mercy, favor, and peace for Your honor and glory. You are the One who reminds me that there is a false sense of guilt that comes from feeling guilty for something I didn’t do. You are the One who reminds me that false guilt is one of the enemy’s favorite weapons against me. You are the One who reminds that You are my eternal source of truth when I feel guilty. You are the One who reminds me whether my guilt is real or false, You allow it, but it is not of You. You are the One who reminds me that other people can put guilt on me by calling me names or by saying things like, “You’re too fat and you’re no good.” You are the One who empowers me to identify and reminds me of the source of my guilt, so that I bring it to You to be eliminated. You are the One who empowers me to see these guilty thoughts and detach them from me. Thank You for empowering me to see where the guilt is coming from and to confess it to You for understanding, healing, and forgiveness toward others and myself for Your honor and glory.
You are the One who brings me close to You and leads me on Your perfect path. You are the One who leads me home through the fields of my dreams of You. My heart is, most certainly, in love with You. You are my way to live to be satisfied. I thank You from the deepest level of my heart for the cheerful path You have given me, which is like a huge garden with beautiful red, pink, and white geraniums. You are the One who has created a beautiful rhythm of color and clear streams of water, from which the mom and dad ducks and their babies drink. Lord, we’re still on Your path and now it’s evening. The high stars above are sparkling lights that brighten my path. Jesus Christ, I put this all in Your hands and I pray in Your name. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol
My Declaration:
My Lord Jesus Christ, my almighty and most powerful God, You are my eternal and lawful God of justice. You are my trustworthy and loving daddy and I am Your forgiven child. Therefore, I can trust in You to handle my life with Your gentleness, kindness, and goodness. You are my true, fair, and honest Ruler. You have empowered me to put my confidence in You from a place of loyalty. My Master, I gladly devote myself to You and Your promises. In You, I happily dedicate myself to Your Kingdom principles. Based on the degree of warrant of Your goodness, grace, and salvation, I genuinely and excitedly place my life in Your hands to do with as You please! You are my considerate God of equality. You are my reasonable God who hears me and Your greatness exceeds the universe. Through You, I am empowered to share what You have shared with me. Your provision, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and faith come to me with the snap of Your fingers and You came into my heart with that very same snap.
You are the One who increases Your faith in me incredibly and immensely! You are the One who increases Your faith in me every day! You are the One who has told me, “You can move mountains with a mustard seed amount of faith.” Thank You for reminding me that I can only please You with faith and that my faith in You is my strength. You continually and urgently build me up and feed my whole body, soul, and spirit with Your faith! I thank You and I pray in Your faithful and intimate name of glory, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, my important Counselor, You are the One who hears my prayer. I need You and Your love. I cannot walk in this world alone. You are Almighty. You are my example and I learn from You! You're my confidence. I need to read Your powerful and living Word of truth and I need to listen to You carefully. I need to be serious about committing my life to You. Lord, Your love is attainable and easy for me to get. I just need to ask. You have promised to assist me in all that I do for You and You lift me up, with Your love and strength, every day. You are always there for me.
You are the One who reminds me that spiritual independence means living outside of Your will. You are the One who empowers me to remember that living outside of Your will means that I am choosing to please myself and taking matters into my own hands. You are the One who empowers me to remember that, when I choose spiritual independence, pursuing my own desires comes first. You are the One who empowers me to remember that deception comes second; the enemy paints an entirely untrue picture of how things will be if I change my circumstances to what I want them to be. You are the One who empowers me to remember that decision comes third; something that sounds right, looks good, and seems harmless but that I know is not of You. You are the One who empowers me to remember that departure comes fourth; leaving Your good and perfect will to pursue my own will. You are the One who empowers me to remember that delight comes fifth; finding temporary pleasure while walking outside of Your plan by doing what I want instead of what You want. You are the One who empowers me to remember that despair and disaster come last.
My Almighty God, You are the One who reminds me that, no matter how far I have wondered off spiritually, I can turn back to You. Just like the story of the prodigal son, I will have all of my needs met in You. Lord Jesus, You are the One who empowers me to keep my eyes on You and Your will for me! You are my knowledge of the future on the line I walk. Thank You for empowering me to follow every lead You give me for Your honor and glory. You are my God of life who is real to me! I will always remember that You never forget. On Your path this day, You are in my heart forever and we live together on this treasured and life-filled journey You have given me. I am amazed with Your bright sun on my shoulders, and Your design of tall plants—gladiolas of pink, red, and blue and red and yellow canmas. Thank You, my Heaven-sent God Almighty, for the best taste of Your love everywhere I go. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my peaceful Shepherd, I call upon You to change me for Your glory. I am asking You, Lord, to save my whole body, soul, and spirit from sin and rescue me from my addictions; give me more faith, Lord! I do believe in You and I know that faith in You can bring about radical changes in my life and a new and transformed behavior. Lord, You are the One who fills my whole body, soul, and spirit with Your light! You are the One who moves in my heart. You are the One who creates in me a new appetite for You and Your ways. You are the One who empowers me to remember and believe that You are not the Author of a poor self-image or false guilt. You are the One who empowers me to believe that You are with me in my troubles, sufferings, temptations, negative obstacles, and loss of loved ones. You are the One who empowers me to believe that You assign Yourself to the task of carrying my burdens and that You offer me Your peace, love, and understanding in my hurting heart. You are the One who empowers me to believe that You have a purpose for hard times. When my circumstances are out of control, when I’m afraid, and when I’m hurting, You are the One who empowers me to believe that You have relief for me. You are my vitamins and minerals when I need Your goodness. Thank You for empowering me to remember the things You recommend and to walk in them, with You, every day, for Your honor and glory.
Father, You are the One who increases Yourself in me. Thank You for empowering me with Your financial knowledge, understanding, and wisdom and the right view of how to use Your money for You and Your honor and glory. Lord, You are the One who empowers me with Your rock-solid plan, which is built upon the strong foundation of Your powerful and living Word of truth. Your powerful and living Word of truth is real and active in my daily devotions to You and it empowers me to graduate to each and every next step of my life with You. Here I am, Lord—walking with You upon Your glorious and hopeful path. I see a gallery of flowers—gazanias—which put on a show of sundrenched brilliance and color. They look like daisies, You open them up in the day, and You close them at night. You even give them other names—deep yellow sun golds and orange, white, and yellow sun bursts, and fiesta red! I also see Your all-white Aztec queens dancing. My best Friend, I thank You for these precious memories and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Jesus Christ, my amazing Sustainer and God Almighty, You are my Creator and Lord who keeps me in Your thoughts. You are my King of kings to whom every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that You truly are Lord of all. You are my God who knows me intimately. You are my God who comforts me with Your love and gives me Your strength. You are my God who gives me security in You. You are the One who gives me full knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of every step You want me to take forward. You are my precious God who is always with me. You paint a beautiful picture before me of the bright future You have for me. Through Your Word, You teach me of all of Your eternal truth. Through our communication of prayer, You allow Your truth to abide in my whole body, soul, and spirit and You give me Your strength to walk in Your ways. What a blessing of fulfillment I have in growing with and talking to You. As I continue to grow and walk with You, I am empowered to focus on the ways of Heaven! You are the inner depths of my humility and I am filled with Your loving Holy Spirit of truth and life and Your great faith. I am free because Your Holy Spirit is always with me! I thank You and I pray in Your just and anointed name of eternal hope, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, who forgives my sins and gives me joy, I want a change in my life! You are the One who empowers me to drop off all my evil habits and replace them with Your new ones. You are the One who gives me new desires. You are the only One, Lord Jesus God Almighty, who can make such changes in my life. I need You, Jesus. You can convert me to Your ways. You are the One who helps me, Jesus. You are the One who empowers me to love You with my entire being; my whole body, soul, and spirit. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to draw near to You and You remind me that You love me and that Your love is unfailing. You are the One who gives me intimacy in our relationship.
Thank You for empowering me to live a confident life in You for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to remember and believe that feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness prevent me from receiving compliments and from doing Your will. You are the One who empowers me to understand and reminds me that You want me to go to You when I have feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness, to receive Your confidence, clarity, and understanding. You are the One who empowers me, when I think I can’t face another day, to recall Your simple truth that I can do all things through You, Jesus Christ, who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)! You are the One who empowers me to remember and believe that my worth is not based on earthly accomplishments. When I feel unloved, You are the One who empowers me to remember that I am beautiful to You. You are the One who empowers me to understand and remember what I have learned in Your powerful and living Word of truth about Your unchanging nature. You have taught me that there’s nothing I can do to change Your love for me, that it is unconditional, and that it flows from Your throne of grace to me for Your honor and glory. Your love is unconditional yesterday, today, and tomorrow; Your love for me is the same forever and ever! You are the One who reminds me that placing my faith in You gives me unfailing abilities to do Your will. You are the One who empowers me to roll my burdens and heart unto You. Your compassion never fails; it has always been there for me, and it will always be there for me.
You are the One who empowers me to believe that You will be with me to get me through any and every horrendous circumstance. You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I choose my goals apart from You, Lord, I will not be as successful. Thank You, Lord, for empowering me to have true spiritual victory as I walk on Your path for You honor and glory. Today on Your happy path, on our journey of Your plan that is Your gift to me for my life, I see Your deer eating Your green grass. They see us coming and hold up their heads as, I’m sure, they’re thinking, “What are you doing here?” I see Your petunias growing in large patches—a jot of color more than just pretty. My spectacular Lord, it brings joy to me to see Your creation. I love You and I pray in Your special name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who is with me wherever I go, Why am I confused? Why does our deep intimacy seem lost? What is happening? I can't blame You, Lord. You never change. Why does our communication seem broken down and why has disinterest set in when it comes to doing Your will? I am wandering around. I can't make a decision. You are the One who empowers me to see clearly. You are the One who empowers me to see all unrealistic aspects of whatever is preventing me from doing Your will. Where am I now? When I fail to see Your miracles, You are the One who empowers me to believe that You are still at hand working in my life. When I fail, You are the One who lifts me up and gets me started again. When I feel like I am imprisoned and away from You, You are the One who brings me close to You and sets me free. In times of heartache, disappointment, and loss, You are the One who empowers me to believe that You will get me through it all and that Your joy will come after. When I feel sorrow, You are the One who empowers me to take my burden to You to see me through to Your complete answers and solutions. When I feel like I can’t handle the day, You empower me to pick up Your powerful and living Word of truth, read it, and talk to You to receive the hope I need.
Thank You for empowering me to pray to You, that I would be readjusted and refocused in my whole body, soul, and spirit for Your honor and glory. You are the One who reminds me that true prayer begins with confession of any sin I have and repentance. You are the One who empowers me to be joyful when it seems like the world is coming apart at the seams right in front of my eyes. You are the One who empowers me to praise You and thank You in private for what You have done for me, that I would know that You get all the credit. You are the One who empowers me to praise You and thank You in front of others for what You have done for me, that they would know that You get all the credit. Thank You for empowering me to turn from confusion to clarity and to focus in on Your powerful and living Word of truth for Your honor and glory. Thank You for empowering me to make the right changes to get back on Your perfect path for Your honor and glory. As we walk on Your path, in the gardens, I see a tall tree with shade. We sit down together to have lunch. I see one of Your ant piles running over with red ants. They’re staying busy gathering food for their queen and for winter. As I watch them, I recall Your Scripture, “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise,” (Proverbs 6:6). I then look over to the other side of me and I see a large garden of white lilies just in time for Easter—the day You rose from the dead and gave me new life. I do enjoy the lilies—what an eye catcher they are. My precious Savior, I thank You for Your glory and the blessings of Your creation. I love You and I pray in Your gracious name, Jesus Christ! So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my holy Helper, You are the One who shows me the pressures and bondages that are causing me to slip and lose my footing; the things that are causing me to fall and act foolishly. You are the One who empowers me to make the right changes. Lord, what areas do I need Your help in? What am I afraid of? Lord, You are the One who empowers me to overcome these areas in my life that are not of You. You are the One who empowers me to overcome all evil in times of temptation. Why do I want to live away from You at times? I know You have everything. Lord, I know there are sins in my life. You are the One who empowers me to remove them! You are the One who empowers me to remember that the basis for my confidence is You. You are the One who empowers me to focus on You, that I would not have pride. You are the One who empowers me to never take credit for any of my successes. You are the One who empowers me to have success; true success is only possible with You. Without You, everything else will eventually fall. You are the One who empowers me to trust in You in all things. You are the One who empowers me possess Your strong confidence and to believe that it drives away doubt, fear, and anxiety. You are the One who empowers with Your confidence to overcome depression. You are the One who empowers with Your confidence to transform my fears and anxieties into faith. You are the One who empowers me to worship and focus on Your goodness through all circumstances and troubles. Thank You for empowering me to never lose sight of You and for empowering me and training me for every battle that comes toward me for Your honor and glory.
You are the One who empowers me to pray, meditate upon, and rely upon You, Your powerful and living Word of truth, and not myself. I desire to be with You and in Your plans. Today and every other day and night, Your faith awakens many new places, people, and things in my life for Your honor and glory. Lord, from the moment we first met on Your path, I fell deeply in love with You and have been ever since. We are partners on this path of Yours and we work together to pass on Your perfect will of love to everyone who will listen. I long to have adventures and entertainment with You. As we walk along on this journey, I see several of Your baby rabbits with their momma. They’re looking for food and playing. When they see me, they run away to safety. Along the way, I also see green hedges and different flowerbeds of lavender and salvia that serve as borders on my walkway. I see Your multi-colored rocks lying all along the pathway. My pleasant Creator, I thank You for Your beauty and I pray in Your lovely name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, whose presence I can never escape, I am filled with anger and bitterness against certain people. You are the One who empowers me to remove anger and bitterness in my heart. I am tired of them using everything I say against me. It hurts! Lord, I don't want to hurt anymore. Lord, You know how I feel. How do I understand and love all of these people that have so many problems? You are the One who empowers me to set the right boundaries while helping and not hurting them. Lord, I need Your strength. You are the One who empowers me to do Your will in this area and You guide me. Lord, I do not want to hurt anyone. You are the One who gives me what I need to change my attitude to Your positive purpose. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to see the big picture and stay plugged into You as my source of power.

You are the One who empowers me to understand and to be merciful.
Lord, You are the One who empowers me with and gives me Your grace. You are the One who empowers me to give new hope. Lord Jesus, You are the One who empowers me to use kind words and to act thoughtfully that my relationships would remain in good standing. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to defend lies, rumors, and verbal attacks in Your godly way. You are the One who empowers me to say the right words to straighten things out. You are the One who empowers me, through the power of Your Holy Spirit, to stop these bad feelings I have toward others and that others have toward me. You are the One who empowers me to apologize when needed and forgive others for their offenses against me. You are the One who empowers us to see any selfish motives in this issue. Lord, when friction arises You are the One who empowers me to only see Your way in handling things. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to not hold a grudge against anyone anymore and take away their pain as well. You said I am to protect myself from the slum. You are the One who empowers me to understand all my grievances and the ones others have against me. These hard feelings still upset me. You are the One who empowers me, Lord Jesus. You are the One who empowers me to deal with others' dishonesty, immorality, and everything they try to put upon me that is not of You!
You are the One who gives me Your grace and mercy to understand the ones who hurt me. You are the One who empowers me not to point accusing fingers at anyone and help me to not be critical toward myself or others. You are the One who empowers me to choose to not defile myself in any way and to forgive and understand others. You are the One who reminds me that I will most certainly reap what I sow (Galatians 6:7). You are the One who empowers me to sow Your godly seeds in my whole body, soul, and spirit. On Your journey, You have given me and walk with me on Your defined pathway with Your actual beauty and wide open spaces of joy. Lord, I hear Your thunder. Here comes the rain. Get me under Your shelter, where I am protected. It’s pouring like a huge waterfall; I stick my head out of the shelter and I get my head wet. Back into the shelter I go, until the rain’s over. I stick my head out again and see Your beautiful bouquet of rainbows. I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

As you may have noticed, during this time in my life a truly solid foundation of Christ was being established in me. Although I had been a Christian for several years up to this point, this was a period when real roots were being formed. As every Christian continues to walk out their journey with the Lord, they will undergo several times of molding and refinement. I would consider this time in my life to be one of the most critical moldings that I underwent. Through the intimate times I had with God that resulted from the circumstances I was experiencing, I received a greater understanding of who He is through His promises, who I am as His child, and of His purpose for my life. Although I still had struggles to deal with, from this time forward I was even more dedicated to getting to know God and to making Him known.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my God who wakes me in the morning, You are the One who empowers me to stop robbing myself of Your joy and what Your generosity brings to me. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to bring inspiration and love to all others. You are the One who empowers me to be motivated by You, Jesus. You are the One who lets all Your love, grace, and understanding flow from my lips and throughout my life. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to make my attitude right. You are the One who empowers me to bring my performance up to the potential You know I can achieve. You are so wonderful, so great, and You always care. Your power and love make me strong. Thank You for fighting every battle that comes against me for Your honor and glory. You are the One who fills my heart with Your song. You are the One who empowers me to remember that Your joy takes the burden out of serving You.
You are the One who empowers me to remember that when I have temptation, I need to go to You and ask You to remove the temptation. You are the One who shows me the source of my temptations, that I would bring them to You. You are the One who reminds me that everyone faces temptations. You are the One who empowers me to remember that You know how I feel when I am faced with temptation. You are the One who reminds me that temptation comes from the enemy and his fiery darts. Thank You that, in times of temptation when the enemy whispers lies of deceit and discouragement, You empower me to take a stand against him and be clothed in Your mighty armor for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to remember that temptation is not sin, but that acting upon the temptation is sin. Thank You for empowering me with the strength and wisdom I need to steer clear of temptations for Your honor and glory. Thank You for empowering me to say no to all evil, by Your power, for Your honor and glory.
Lord, I’m walking with You on Your path—what a great journey. My life is with You forever. You are my life today. As we walk, You reach out Your hand and hold mine, You give me Your deep understanding and wisdom, and You direct me in which way I should go. When I go to sleep, You are the One who wakes me in the morning with Your precious love. Today, we are taking a rest while we sit on a big rock. We are looking over the beautiful view of Your high mountains with snow-covered tips. There’s a large blue river running through pine trees. There’s a rabbit poking his head out ahead of me. A cloud is going over the sun as it shoots out different oranges, whites, and other colors. You made all things beautiful for me this day. You have beautiful, fair-smelling and colored flowers -- red, pink, and yellow -- and birds; I hear them singing from You to me. My Father in Heaven, I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who strengthens my will through all the valleys, I need You! I don't want to stay here in misery. I want to get my life together for You, for Your honor and glory, and I want to go on with Your plan. Lord, You are the One who lets me hear what You say to me clearly. You are the One who empowers me to see clearly. You are the One who lets Your powerful and living Words of truth sink deep into my heart. The only way I can survive is through You, Jesus. I need You, Lord. I need Your support. You are the One who lets me experience Your blessings. Lord, hold my hand tightly on this journey to serenity and recovery. You are the One who gives me hope. You are the One who empowers me to walk away from sin, the enemy, and self-destruction that they would not destroy my body, soul, or spirit. You are the One who lets me taste Your love and comfort and lets me feel Your presence. Thank You for empowering me to make my morning complete when I begin it with You—with our talk.
Thank You for empowering me to make it through the day and night, as I surrender all of me to You for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to praise You no matter what happens. You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I am proud, arrogant, conceited, or selfish I cannot have good prayers with You. You are the One who empowers me to remember that love is not jealous, it covers a multitude of sins, and that You are true love (1 Corinthians 13:4; 1 Peter 4:8; 1 John 4:8). You are the One who empowers me to yield my whole self to You in order to die to self. Thank You for empowering me to allow Your Holy Spirit to live in me and through me for Your honor and glory. On our path together, I see one of Your turtles walking so slowly. He sees me, but he keeps goin’ and I decided to give him a name—besides “turtle.” I named him Slow Poke. He seemed to think it was okay; he didn’t say anything or run away. I see a beautiful patch of winter pine holly and sparkling purple trailing ice plant. Thank You, Lord, for Your loveliness. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant and child forever, Carol
My Declaration:

You are my justified and glorified King of majesty. You give me Your perspective and wisdom in every fashion of life. You allow me to know and feel You in my life.

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, whose light shines as bright as day for me, You're my hope and encouragement! Calmly hold my hand and lead me in the way to recovery. You are the One who removes all my old ways. You are the One who removes them, Jesus! You have all power. You are the One who lays Your grace over my body, soul, and spirit -- over my whole being. You are the One who empowers me to survive through You, Jesus, and takes my bondage and gives me Your life, Your ways, and Your strength! You are the One who empowers me to change and grow. You are the One who empowers me to rely on, depend on, and receive from You greater and greater. You are the One who empowers me to grow up. You are the One whose kind and loving life flows through me to call others to You. You are the One who empowers me to identify Your ways.
You are the One who reminds me that my pain and shame are the sources of thoughts such as, “What is wrong with me?” You are the One who reminds me that my pain, my shame, my addictions, and my negative emotions keep me frozen in procrastination and that they disable me from functioning. You are the One who empowers me to understand what’s going on and sets me free when I can hardly move to be alive in the world. You are the One who empowers me to understand and sets me free when I feel like everyone is looking at me, when I feel like I’m all wrong, and when I feel like no one likes me. You are the One who empowers me to give You all of these burdens and to not be in denial. You have taught me that these are actually the symptoms of the fear of being embarrassed. It’s such a lonely place, Lord.
You are the One who sets me free and empowers me to remember that my overwhelming pain can freeze my learning skills because of self-pity and apathy. You are the One who empowers me to understand and sets me free from my symptoms of lack of interest, lack of enthusiasm, lack of concern, unresponsiveness, passiveness, and lack of passion. You are the One who empowers me to give all of these negative emotions to You, that You would remove them! You are the One who empowers me to remember that I cannot love others or learn when my learning skills are frozen. You are the One who empowers me to remember that I cannot understand an emotion that originates in my subconscious mind by consciously thinking about it—I have to come to You first, in prayer, to be empowered to talk about it openly. Then, if I need to, I can talk to a trusted Christian therapist so I can understand more. You are the One who empowers me to remember and understand that I cannot change or control emotions that originate in my subconscious by constantly telling them to stop—I can only receive Your power, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to stop these negative emotions by casting on You. You are the One who breaks all bondages and generational curses in me; You are the One who sets me completely free. You are the One who reminds me that You care for me.
Today on Your path, it’s early. You woke me up this day to a sweet and beautiful morning. The grass is wet with dew and I see blue, far off hills, covered with green grass. I see the shining sun coming up and I smell Your fresh air. I see bright red roses, which You sent from Heaven, which are always blooming—they smell so sweet. There are bouquets of flowers, in all different colors, for me to walk by—they have a ribbon of green grass wrapped around them with Your love. I feel so much better today because of Your love for me and for all of creation. My master gardener and God Almighty, I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my Helper and Savior, I have sorrow, confusion, and uncertainty deep in my soul. I know You are the solution my emotions are craving. I do believe I am precious to You. I am safe with You and You only. You offer me Your true love. Lord, You are the One who gives me new and old friends who can and will support, comfort, encourage, inspire, cry with, laugh with, and pray for me along the way to recovery—friends I can trust. You are the One who lets me feel Your love through them. You are the One who creates Your lifeline for me to Your reality and healing.
You are the One who brightens my heart, Lord, and reminds me that one of Your fruits is joy. You are the One who gives me Your overflowing joy bountifully, which gives me laughter. My precious Lord Jesus Christ God Almighty, You are the One who reminds me that the ability to laugh truly is a gift from You and that it is an expression that comes from my heart. You are the One who reminds me that, as a believer, genuine and wholesome laughter is an awesome privilege that I have. You are the One who empowers me to laugh even when things aren’t going the way I would like. You are the One who reminds me that laughter is a stress release, that it takes a load off of my shoulders, and that it refreshes me!
You are the One who reminds me that with You, Christ, I can have happiness in any situation. You are the One who reminds me that, despite what’s going on, You are the One who inspires me and energizes me to be joyful. You are the One who reminds me that laughter is healing for my whole body, soul, and spirit. You are the One who reminds me of Your powerful and living Words of truth, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore,” (Psalm 16:11). You are the One who has taught me that if I am walking around with sadness and do not have Your joy, I am not experiencing the abundantly good life You want me to experience. You are the One who reminds me that it’s my choice to either stay sad or rejoice in You.
Today, on Your fabulous path, You move me toward Your ultimate goal. You make it clear to me that I am not alone on this journey and that You are guiding me along in every step. It’s springtime and Your beautiful hand is moving the flowers as they poke their heads upward. I’m watching a sapphire springtime sky. Everywhere I look, I see more of Your fragile flowers poking through the clay to reach Your sunlight. They’re working so hard to develop into the beautiful flowers You made them to be. I see Your birds going in and out of their nests as they get ready to lay their eggs. Soon Your creation of the baby birds will cause them to poke their heads out of their little eggshell, as they chirp, “Mommy! Daddy! Feed me. Come and keep me warm under your wings.” Thank You for this beautiful, fantastic, and new springtime beginning. My eternal God, Jesus Christ, I love You, I thank You, and I pray in Your name. So be it. Amen! Your servant and child forever, Carol

You are the One who shares Your abundant knowledge, understanding, and wisdom with me to help me along life's journey in Your plan for me. You are the One who helps me to be friendly to people and to enjoy their company. The fruit of Your Spirit lives in me and through me, through our relationship, so I can be a calm and confident testimony of who You are.

My Dear God Jesus Christ, who I rely on, I have made some progress. I did better today! I wasn't so compulsive and wasn't running to my addiction. I feel better. Thank You, Lord, for being the One who empowers me to pull away from negative things for Your honor and glory. Thank You for empowering me to identify Your love and grace. You are my way to freedom.

As we walk together on Your path, I see people. I walk over to them, shake their hands, and ask, “Do you know Jesus? If you were to die today…would you go to Heaven?” If they say, “No,” or “I’m not sure,” I say, “Let me tell You about my Heavenly Father.” Together we tell them all about You, Jesus, and we bring them to salvation in You. Thank You for the honor and privilege of serving You, Lord. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus, my trustworthy and faithful God who holds my heart and empowers me, Today is Your day. I lay my heart at the cross. I can do all things through You. Your truth leads me on Your narrow path. Everything You have done for me is out of Your true and precious love for me. You are the Creator of all substance and existence. Your love seeks me when I walk away. You continuously let me know that You have a perfect plan for me and that Your heart beats with my heart. You adopted me out of love and compassion. You've loved me all along, even when I was dead in transgressions. I was a screaming brat, but now I'm calm in You. It took time for You to shape me, but I came around because of Your relentless love. You are the One who gives me the desires of my heart. You are the One who delights in surprising me with something beautiful. You are the One who opens Your hand to satisfy the desires of every living thing (Psalm 145:16). You are the One who has a wonderful, beautiful, and pleasant personality. You are the One who cares about me in all situations and about everything that is in my life. Nothing in my life escapes Your notice. You are the One who empowers me to throw every single circumstance upon You because You care for me (1 Peter 5:7). I thank You and I pray in Your beautiful name of forgiveness, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.

You invite me to a pleasant and delicious supper. Thank You for this special day and every precious moment You have given me. I love You Jesus. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen!

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who refreshes me, Inspire me and give me insight. Thank You for empowering me to abandon all my ungodly addictions for Your honor and glory. You know what I need to pull away from. You are the One who gives me Your light, Your truth, life, and love. Take me with Your hand and guide me forevermore. Let me taste the pleasure of Your embrace. Thank You for eliminating all darkness and for taking away the coldness of selfishness in my life for Your honor and glory.

I love you, my Lord, my God of all power! Thank You for empowering me to walk away from worldly pleasures and do You will for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to stand firm in You, that the enemy would not trick me into sin. You are the One who empowers me to make the right choices so I can resist the enemy. Thank You for empowering me to take in the right information, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom, that I would stand strong against the occult practices that are an abomination to You: astrology, fortune-telling, magic, unnatural signs, numerology, palm reading, tarot cards, Ouija boards, clairvoyance, sorcery, and witchcraft (Deuteronomy 18:10-14) for Your honor and glory.
Thank You for giving me Your knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to discern what is false teaching, to see what is of You and not of You, and to pull away from all false teaching for Your honor and glory. You give me Your strength, grace, mercy, and favor to keep my lips sealed from teaching false teachings. You are the One who empowers me to have the wisdom of Your Scriptures to have a fruitful, peaceful, joyful, spiritual, godly, discerning, strong and confident life of love, by faith and by witnessing Your truth without fear to whoever You tell me to. As I walk with You on Your path, I see people practicing the things that are an abomination to You and I get on my knees and pray that You would take the blinders off their eyes, set them free from the bondage of evil spirits, bring them to You and let them drink of Your precious love, joy, and freedom from sin. Lord, help these people to see their sin. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who is on the throne of ruling Glory, You are the One who empowers me to walk this hard road towards repentance and healing from all my addictions and anything that I depend on that is not of You.

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who is wonderfully awesome, Nothing is working anymore. Rescue me from the despair of the enemy’s ways. Thank You for releasing me from the addictions of the world, strongholds, and generational curses for Your honor and glory. Everything seems hopeless. I feel like I might as well give up.

As we walk along Your path together, I see a large rock garden with a beautiful water fountain trickling down with Your fresh water. I also see a squirrel trying to get water. He falls, and then he gets back up to give it another go. I laugh with Your joy as he looks at me. I’m sure he’s thinking, “What do you want!? I’m thirsty. Don’t bother me. Go away!” As I walk with You, I’m glad in the laughter and joy that You give me. My big-hearted Lord, I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Dear Jesus Christ, who helps me to grow and mature in You, Take these overwhelming emotions away, the emotions that I am covering up with my addictions. Tell me what I should do. You are the One who helps me to bring my addictions and burdens to the cross. I know I need to lean on You, I'm just having trouble doing so. I get these feelings of helplessness that I feel are out of my control. You are the One who takes away the confusion and despair in which I am living.

You are my Creator of unity and perfect design. I surely do love You, my flawless Jesus Christ, and I pray in Your name. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

Lord Jesus Christ, my God Almighty, Your will for my life always begins with communication between us. The better I know You, the more Your intentions, will, and desires become clear and understandable to me. You are the One who empowers me to pray and ask to make Your will known to me, “Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness,” (Psalm 143:10, KJV). Lord, You are the One who personalizes our relationship with all the details of Your ways.

Sin will keep us from experiencing the type of life God wants us to experience, and a wounded spirit is often a major cause of sin. God has given everyone the power to control every part of his being. He “…has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind,” (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV).
When we choose to step into God's will for our lives, which is holy living, we begin to walk in that very power, love, and self-control that He created us to have. When dealing with sin, it's important to immediately bring the problem to God and allow Him to give us the forgiveness, power and wisdom to overcome it. Trying to subdue the issue in our own way or with our own ideas may bring temporary relief, but God is the only One who brings permanent relief.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my Author of life, I did better yesterday with Your help. I'm still dealing with emotions of anger, resentment, paralyzing fear, self-pity, and confusion. I still feel the need to numb myself. Please help me to stop breeding negative attitudes and behaviors when I feel helpless. You are the One who will remove my anger and resentment and will be there for me in all situations. Remind me that You are not the author of paralyzing fear or self-pity. When I feel out of control, help me to come back to Your self-control! Remind me that apart from You I can do nothing. When I am compulsive in eating or any other addiction, help me to understand why, that I would stop for You and for Your glory. Thank You for empowering me to deal with my emotions of helplessness, resentment, paralyzing fear, self-pity, and negative attitudes for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to bring all of these things to You to receive Your peace and mending deep within my soul and spirit. Thank You for empowering me by faith to be strong, forgiving, self-controlled, clear minded, happy, courageous, confident, bold, and to have a positive and godly attitude and godly behavior for You. I thank You for Your love and compassion for me and I sing glory to You and give You praise.
As we walk on Your path, I spend time looking around all the beautiful gardens that You have formed. I hear a dove. I cannot see him, but I’m sure he’s calling his mate. I see planted locuses and purple-waved petunias. My amazing and charming Lord, what special beauty You give me! I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who is life to my whole body, soul, and spirit, Thank You for giving me the opportunity to do right. With Your help, I was able to do so last night.

Make me whole.
We are walking together on Your path and I see a defined route through the landscape. I see mixed hardy primroses and black knight butterfly bushes. I see blue jays, several of them, and they’re beautiful. They’re talking and singing and I know You made them just for me as forget-me-nots mark my trail along the garden path. You bring many beautiful things to me along Your path, as You give me joy and contentment. You are the highest power over all who has created all things. My prosperous Lord Jesus, whose heavens touch the earth with beauty, I love You and I pray in Your name. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus, my righteous God of answers who is always with me in everything I do for now and until eternity, You are the One who stimulates and brushes up my whole being with Your love and compassion.

You pour out Your power, grace, mercy, favor, goodness, and the multitude of the rest of Your blessings into my life every day. You have so much to give me that I can’t even name it all. You kindle, instill, and trigger Your knowledge, understanding, and wisdom within me. You give me ideas and responsibilities to make positive changes in this life You have given me. When I celebrate by praising You and thanking You for what You have done for me, it puts me in a position to receive even more victories and blessings from You. You inform, influence, and impress me with Your Word, that I would turn my life over to You every day!

Father, You are the One who will renew my whole being and pull me out of this disillusioned, trapped, and terrifying life. You are the One who gives me Your clarity and freedom. Remind me that when I hurt, You hurt and when You hurt, I hurt.
Thank You for setting me free from my feelings of confusion, that I would take control of myself and my life for Your honor and glory!

Trust Me. I am here for you. I love you. I have the answers. I want the best for you. Keep coming toward Me and you will receive relief and freedom.” You are the One who truly does love me.

You fire me up and entertain me. You give me Your joy and fun times. You rally me to worship You with my life. You tell me, “Changes are coming. Just trust in Me. I know You better than You know yourself and I love You beyond measure. I only expect so much of you at a time, but I do expect certain things of you. These are things that I have taught you and you already know what is of Me.” My precious God, You energize me to walk with You. You get me moving and You stir me up to follow You. You are my God who gives me pep talks, early in the morning, to get up and march on Your perfect path. In You, I put all of my imaginations, dreams, and desires into Your hands because I believe and trust that You know what’s best for me. As I put my imaginations, dreams, and desires in Your hands, You help me to see and comprehend the bright future that You have in store for me! Your tremendous light and blessings are infectious! You are the One who empowers me to speak with certainty and boldness. You are the One who provides me with Your true comfort and compassion. You are the One who has given me Yourself to believe in and others to believe in. You are the One who empowers me to be sincere and to express sympathy and concern when needed. You are the One who empowers me to submit to Your instructions in troubling times. I thank You and I pray in Your name of positive workmanship, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, whose goodness and everlasting love fills me all the days of my life, These overwhelming emotions again...I'm not even sure which ones they are and it's even difficult for me to admit I have them. I feel I have a mental block. Remove it all, Lord. You are the One who gives me clarity in my mind! I know that this is the result of sin. You are the One who cleanses me, Father. I feel my life is out of proportion. I know something is wrong, but I'm not sure what. These negative feelings continue to grow. I know a lot of it is from my past. My family environment and their addictions, compulsions, and abuse have affected my life. I grew up with them. Help me, Lord! You are the One who empowers me to be committed to Your plan through the ministry of the Bible and the ministering, born-again preachers who teach of Your truth and love. They pray with me and teach me all of Your ways so I can walk with You for Your honor and glory. You are the One who commands me to follow You, even through the tough times. You are the One who empowers me to be joyful at all times, to pray continuously, and to give thanks in all circumstances—this is Your will for me and it’s all for You and Your name’s sake (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
As I walk along Your path, it’s time to rest my head. I thank You for all that You have given me and for all that You’ve gotten me through today. I thank You for all the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom You have given me, I thank You for protecting my family and me and, most of all, I thank You for being our Master. I bring to You tomorrow’s list…You pick out what You want me to accomplish, add in Your extras, and give us the strength, time, and guidance to do it all for Your honor and glory. I am resting now. I’ll awaken when You wake me, and I place my life in Your hands until morning. Good night, my precious and kind Lord. You are my full-covering and beloved Master and I pray in Your precious name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart...” (Psalm 27:14, KJV)
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who shows me the right path, Thank You again for helping me. I know I could have done better, but it was much better than other times. Lord, I feel like I am starving for nurturing intimacy from human flesh. You are the One who helps me to be set free from the bondage of man-made rules. I know I feel addicted to this person. I am craving to be that special person in his life, but I know that he is not good for me. I really have a struggle with this. You are the One who helps me to be set free from the desires of the flesh; the old man, the old ways, and the old nature. You are the One who helps me to see reality; You help me to see Your truth clearly and walk in it. You are the One who helps me to recognize that when I put people, places, or things before You, they can become false gods. You are the One who helps me to stop denying and to admit to myself my wrongs and compulsions. You are the One who reminds me that when I am out of Your will, I don’t do well and I have no protection. You are the One who helps me to be honest with myself and You, Lord.
Lord, remind me that if someone has repeatedly been hurtful, it is easy to give into vindictive pleasures and anger. My God, when I experience misfortune, You empower me to maintain an attitude of compassion and forgiveness and to trust You, to bring Your perfect justice and judgment to those who have wronged me. You say, “Do not rejoice when your enemy falls and do not to be glad when he stumbles,” (Proverbs 24:17). You are the One who wants to provide for me in every way—in ways that are even too big for me to comprehend. I know that if I do Your will, blessings will come abundantly every day. Lord, as we walk along Your path, You are the One who colors my soul with Your book of Psalms and affirmations that soak into my heart. Each page is a soft covering of Your love, compassion and peace. You are the One who speaks Your pleasant and beautiful Scriptures to me in every step we walk together. Thank You, Lord, for all this great information about You. My Lord of all knowledge and compassion, I love You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You believing that You are who You say You are and that You reward those who diligently seek You, You are my all-sufficient God who leads me in obedience to You. You are my precious and gentle God of all understanding. You have given me an entirely new life of freedom; the new man, the new ways, and the new creation! You are my righteousness and my compassion. My King and Master, You are my universal life force. You are my true Holy Spirit of eternity. You have all the answers, solutions, and positive results and You graciously, freely, and abundantly give them to me for Your honor and glory. In You, I am earnestly devoted to You. You fill me with Your radical faith. You fill my mouth with Your kind, complimenting, and constructive words. You give me Your steady and abiding trust!
You cover me with the approval of Your blood and, in You, I am justified unto You. You are my Guardian of amazing and determined protection. You always show up right on time! Jesus Christ, as I operate in Your will, You encamp legions of Your angels around me. You help me to forgive others so I can love and live in freedom and in peace. You said on the cross, “Forgive them, Father. They know not what they do.” As You have freely forgiven me, I freely forgive everyone who has harmed me. You are my one and only Most High God. You are my one and only true God. You are my God of jealousy because You want me all to Yourself. I thank You and I pray in Your perfect, honest, and just name above all names, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, in whom I put all my hope, Sometimes when I get around other people, I feel powerless. Their attitudes and opinions pull me into doing things I really don't want to do. When I make a choice, I feel I can't stand behind it. I become anxious and conflicted. I feel like I am being forced. I'm uncomfortable doing what they expect of me and I end up feeling used and powerless. Lord, how did I get into this mess? You are the One who helps me, Jesus. You are my only help. You know all things. You can and will help me. You are the One who points out the road before me to follow. I know that a particular person, whom I feel meshed with, has an unhealthy control over me. You are the One who helps me to break away. This is a destructive relationship. I feel like I am being held hostage.
Lord, You are the One who helps me to see my blind spots; You are the One who helps me to see my denial about this problem. You are the One who helps me to change. I feel like I have no choice, but I know I do. You are the One who helps me make the right choices. You are the One who helps me to examine my life and correct what needs correcting. You are the One who helps me to determine what the right decision is and to make it. Lord, You are the One who is my survival kit. Thank You for empowering me to pull away from wrongdoing, addictions, and things that are not of You for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to be a servant for You and Your glory. You are the One who supports me with Your tender promises to get wisdom and victory over the enemy. You are the One whose messages of Your powerful and living Word of truth are tender and gracious blessings for me.
As we walk in the garden together, I see a blue house with a white lattice and climbing roses. I see a bed of white daisies. I see a family having a barbeque on their porch. I smell the meat cooking and the fire burning. They seem to be having a good time. I pray, Lord, that they know You. If not, send someone to witness to them. I’m walking by, this may be the only prayer they get—please hear me. I pray that somewhere along the line, they will meet You. I pray in Your mighty name of salvation, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus, my beautiful and comforting God who is the most skilled and talented Bestower of blessings, You are my victory and, through You, I abide in You and in Your blessings. Your Holy Spirit has come to purify my heart. You are my fountain of Living Water. When I’m thirsty and believe that You are who You say You are, You fill me with Your Living Water. You are my beautiful harmony and I surrender my attitudes and opinions to become like You; to become Christ-like. I retreat into Your calmness and contentment. Hallelujah! I love You, Lord!
Jesus Christ God Almighty, I am complete in You, and You pour out Your spring of love and compassion into my heart every day. Surely, Your goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life (Psalm 23:6)! Your wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and compassion are treasures of gold, silver, and precious stones that sparkle and glow in and through me. You are the One who has taught me that knowledge is information, understanding allows me to interpret the information correctly, and wisdom is putting what I’ve interpreted to work in a godly and effective way to glorify You. Hallelujah to You, my God! I thank You for who You are. I praise You, Lord, and I thank You for Your blessings of justification, pardon, reconciliation between us, adoption as Your child, and eternal life, which are the richest promises for me in this life You have given me. You are my very best advice and reference. I enjoy Your essential and fascinating collection of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom found in Your powerful and living Word of truth. My precious, great, and kind Lord who embraces me with Your wonderful, sweet, and enjoyable love, You are the One who gives me many gifts of Your blessings and promises, which are the full coloring of Your perfect nature. You are the One who reveals to me Your peace, comfort, and encouragement as I offer my daily devotions to You. You are the One who empowers me to discover Your hope, deluxe love, compassion, and total victory! I thank You and I pray in Your abundant and gracious name of glory, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who shows me Your fresh, new, and everlasting mercy, I feel reluctant sometimes to do Your will. I know that the negative and compulsive behaviors I engage in are pulling me away from You. Lord, forgive me, have mercy on me, and bring me back into Your will and presence. I feel like I can't change or understand why this is going on. I feel helpless and victimized. You are the One who helps me to walk out of denial and into Your reality. I know this behavior is destructive. Give me the awareness of the right way to go. You are the One who helps me to regain control and to do Your will. When I feel heavy and burdensome, You are the One who invites me to possess Your peace and rest. Unmesh every unhealthy thing that has control over me. You are the One who empowers me to understand the process of addiction to recovery. You are the One who gives me Your peace and comfort to share with others. From this day forward, I can honestly say that I am so grateful and thankful to be Your child. You are the One who holds me and makes me strong in every threatening danger and at my worst times. You are the One who has promised that my life is best in Your hands. You give me an incredible and good life that lasts forever, which is equipped with Your secure covering over me. You are the One who empowers me with Your blood and provides for me completely. You are the One who holds my hand tightly forever and ever. You are the One who has made me Your follower and dear child (Ephesians 5:1).
As we walk along Your path, I see a beautiful garden with crushed stone on the ground and organic mulch of redwood and bark. All around the beautiful flowers, I see sawn trees as decoration. I see a beautiful, big, white, fluffy cat. He runs over to me and meows to say, “Hello. How are you?” I lean over to touch him and he scurries off. Thank You, my precious Jesus Christ, for this warm and vibrant day and for seeing that cat, as white as snow—another one of Your beautiful creations. I pray in Your powerful name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

Amen! Your servant forever.

You are the One who helps me to stop playing the role of a martyr for the wrong reasons; although I would be honored to be a martyr for You if it is Your will.
You are the One who helps me to yield my power, strength, and self to You. Lord Jesus, You are the One who helps me to cheer up, move forward, and be accountable before You. You are the One who helps me see my responsibility. Lord, You are the One who helps me to learn, see, and hear Your thoughts, opinions, and preferences. You are the One who empowers me to stop reacting negatively to other people and their will. You are the One who helps me to retain Your healthy emotional outlook on life. I love You, Jesus.

You are the One who empowers me to bring everything to You in faith and assures me that You will take care of it all. You are the One who reminds me that You have a way and a plan for me to go forward. You are the One who helps me to remember that the enemy tries to distract me from Your truth and that one of his most effective tactics is to try to bring yesterday’s burdens into today.
You are the One who empowers me to not worry about anything, to not build a mountain of molehills, and to not get anxious about the imaginary shortcomings for my future, health, family, or work. You are the One who helps me to remove insignificant matters that assume greater importance in my life, which are totally not of You. You are the One who reminds me that anxiety covers a wide range of problems that typically result from unfounded fears. You are the One who reminds me that anxiety can occur when I forget to cope with my present life because I am preoccupied with my future life. Thank You for empowering me to remember that worries, anxieties, burdens, concerns, and addictions are of the world’s past and that You want me to move forward for Your honor and glory. Lord, remind me that I am Yours and that You are mine.
Today, Jesus, on Your path for my empowering life journey on this planet earth, I see that people need one another. As You lead me on the path, I meet caring, helpful, interesting, friendly, delightful, thoughtful, and hurting people who have all found victory in You. You sent me these people to help me walk on Your gracious path. At times, I feel like I can’t handle things alone. Then, all of a sudden, boom, You send someone to assist me with Your love and wisdom. I discover again how thoughtful and loving You are to send people who understand me. You send people to love me and I thank You for Your powerful and living Word of truth, “Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friendly hearty counsel,” (Proverbs 27:9). Your love lets me know that other Christians are essential to my life. Thank You, my loving God who cares. I love You so much, and I pray in Your beloved name, Jesus Christ! So be it, amen! Your child forever, Carol
My Declaration:
My precious Lord Jesus Christ, who is my just and honest Ruler, You are my personal Specialist, Advisor, Therapist, and Healer who mends my whole body, soul, and spirit. You are the One who heals me with Your holy and radiant light. You are my brilliant love and perfect compassion. I am complete in You and You are the head of every principality and power. My spirit is risen with You, through faith, and You have quickened me to have a forgiving heart. In You, I am victorious over every principality and power. My journey with You is like a beautiful painting of Your Spirit in me and Your will flowing through me. Every day, You give me a new color to add and I get to see more of Your bigger picture. On that glorious day with You in Heaven, I will see the whole thing completed. You are my ever-living and everlasting God Almighty and I give You my highest praise. Hallelujah! I am Your child and I belong to You. You are the One who empowers me to be Christ-centered and to have Your divine peace in my life.

You are the One who showers me with Your perfect love and grace. You are the One who empowers me to remember Your Words, “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” (Hebrews 13:5) You are the One who empowers me to draw close to You and reach for Your understanding and clarity. You are my precious Jesus. You surely do love me, and You are always there for me at all times! I abide in You and You in me; we have an intimate and lovely relationship together! I truly do love You and I enjoy the wonderful peace and comfort You give me every day! I thank You and I pray in Your gentle and loving name of peace, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
As you may have noticed, I was still having trouble surrendering to God's power. I continued trying to fight my battles in my own strength. I found out the hard way that we are too weak, in our own strength, to be who God wants us to be. Therefore, in order to live a life that is pleasing to Him, we must receive and utilize His power. I hope that from reading about my experiences, you will choose to submit to God's power in times of trouble, rather than your own power. The battle is the Lord’s.
“...be strong in the LORD (empowered by your union with Him); draw your strength from Him (that strength which His boundless might provides).” (Ephesians 6:10, AMP)
“The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.” (Exodus 14:14, NKJV)

Jesus Christ, my precious Lord who hears me, Help me to always keep the faith. Faith is believing in the unseen; going on, trusting, and believing that You are there even when I can't see You; faith is the substance of things hoped, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, my Prince of Peace, You are the One who empowers me to remember that, with Your help, I can change every day and that I can learn and grow in You.

Remind me that many people associate contentment with money, recognition, and successful relationships only to be disappointed.

You are the One who empowers me, Jesus, to recognize the things in my life that rob me of Your contentment, love, compassion, and peace. Help me to understand and remember that long-term anxiety has no place in my life as a believer. Remind me that fear and depression are tools the enemy uses to lure me away from Your blessings. Remind me that these peace-killing emotions only exist in my life when I don’t trust You. Remind me that fear, anxiety, and depression are like carrying 100 lb. weights on my back. As I walk, sit and sleep, the weights become heavier. You are the One who empowers me to envision Your mighty hand reaching down to lift them off of me to set me free. Remind me that You want to release me from every burden I’m carrying. As I trust You and release my anxieties, fears, and heartaches to You, You are the One who opens up my heart to Your peace and contentment. Remind me that You have given me Your peace, that You left it with me, that it is not the peace that the world gives, and that my heart does not need to be troubled or afraid (John 14:27). At all times, when I’m ready, You are willing to take my burdens. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Your heart calls me to know Your love, to share Your love, and to serve You and others. When I accepted You as my Savior, I began this incredible journey of love, compassion, and peace that is filled with Your fragrant springtime aroma of Your flowers, sprouted from seeds of kindness. Thank You for including me in You, when I believed in and accepted Your message of truth; when I trusted in the Gospel of my salvation. When I became a believer, I was marked in You with a seal, Your promised Holy Spirit, whom is a deposit guaranteeing my inheritance until my redemption as Your possession—to the praise of Your glory—when I pass on into Heaven (2 Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:14). You have commissioned me to be completely and genuinely honest with You, that I would receive Your kindness, goodness, and forgiveness to move forward. You have improved me to be honest with You and others for Your honor and glory. You have blessed and allowed me to exalt and embrace Your perfect nature of true beauty.
My precious Lord Jesus Christ God Almighty, You have endowed me with the power to include You in everything I do. You have called me to first love You with my whole body, soul, and spirit and to then stretch out to others with that very same love. You are my perfect Father and secretary who schedules my obligations, engagements, outings, appointments, family gatherings, business trips, and whatever else You want me to do for You on this journey of love. As I continuously allow You to take over my heart, everything in my life changes for the better and I end up happy in all of my relationships. You have re-created my heart to desire and walk in holy living. You continue to heal me and lead me forward in Your restoration and prosperity forever. You are my joyful, close, everlasting and heavenly Father who has the key to my heart. With Your help, I practice simple and child-like faith in You. Your faith shines bright in me toward others. I thank You and I pray in Your wondrous, restoring, healing, and miraculous name of salvation, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.

My Declaration:
My Beloved Jesus, who willingly, lovingly, and joyfully gives me Your Heavenly knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to live by, Thank You for the great honor and privilege of belonging to You. You are my Awesome God who has all power. I am Your child, and I am so grateful for these truths. You always put everything in the right perspective for me. You are my Most High God! You are my great King over all the earth. How awesome are the works of Your hands! I say to others, “Come and see the works of my Lord. Come and see what He has done for me and for all people. He is so amazing and perfect!” Who could be more spectacular and have as great compassion as You to go to the cross for me? Your rightful and proper place is as my all-sufficient God Almighty. You are the One who is truly stunning. I thank You for Your terrific work in my life, and I praise You for who You are. Holy, holy, I adore thee! Your abilities and willingness to serve truly are of Heaven.
You have made a way for all to enter into Your love and Your healing is freely offered to all people. You help those no one wants to help; those who are suffering the most. You help those who are regarded as too old, too guilty, and too weak. You help those who are “beyond help.” You seek the lowly ones when no one else cares for them. You send people who are filled with Your loving-kindness to help the lost enter Heaven so they can get up and walk with You. You reach out to the dying criminals who have been condemned, only hours before entering lost eternity, with hopes that they would accept You as their personal Lord and Savior. The man next to You on the cross cried out to You and You said, “You will be with Me in paradise.” Jesus Christ, You specialize in bringing the broken to You and You specialize in renewing them. Your strength is perfected in our weaknesses, and You suffered that we would have abundant life in You. You have given humanity eternal freedom and an everlasting hope of glory. I thank You and I pray in Your most benevolent name of healing, restoration, and salvation, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my abundant life, You are my Savior and You are my stepping stone to Your true and abundant life. Your teachings are my ongoing recovery from a sinful past. You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I fall back, my functions change dramatically. I become confused, I stop recognizing Your love, I look to worldly pleasures for comfort rather than to You, and I experience a low of hopelessness. You are the One who empowers me to rebuke the darkness in the lonely places of my life. You are the One who empowers me to put on Your whole armor and empowers me with Your strength to put every fruit of the flesh in Your hands and to rebuke them—adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness, and revellings (Galatians 5:19-23).
You are the One who empowers me to repent of every fruit of the flesh and receive Your forgiveness. You are the One who empowers me to abstain from out of control emotions and radical reactions and feelings—especially in difficult situations. You are the One who delivers me from depression and gets me through the rough times. Lord Jesus, thank You for empowering me with whatever I need to continuously move forward and to completely avoid the evil traps of enemy for Your honor and glory! Thank You for empowering me, when my soul is full of sorrow, with Your powerful and living Word of truth for Your honor and glory. When I am threatened with deceit, strengthen me with Your powerful and living Word of truth for Your honor and glory. Help me to remember that I can find life, once again, in You through Your powerful and living Word of truth for Your honor and glory. When life's demands are overwhelming, You are the One who empowers me to find Your hope, guidance, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom in Your powerful and living Word of truth for Your honor and glory to empower me. When I feel weighed down by the cares of the world, You are the One whose powerful and living Word of truth I read and take into my heart to be empowered to receive the refreshing of Your love, strength, and comfort to carry on in Your Godly way. Lord, as I walk upon Your path today, the purple violets are in high-voltage. There’s a shaded garden of red and pink impatiens, a bouquet of lavender lobelias, and a batch of golden leaf hostas. My delightful God, thank You for splendor of Your creation. I pray in Your precious name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

You are the One who provides me with Your knowledge and strength to fulfill Your will.

Through the power of Your Holy Spirit, I learn to operate in the gifts You have given me. As I put You first, I learn to love and walk with You.

I praise You, Lord, for who You are and I thank You for Your beauty. You're my expert, You're my sound mentor, and You're very important to me. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen!

My Lord Jesus Christ God Almighty, we share thoughts and experiences together and we build profitable experiences that serve as great testimonies to others.

My Prayer:
Jesus Christ, my Friend who loves me, You are the One who empowers me to remember that types of child abuse include physical, emotional and sexual abuse and neglect. Children can suffer physical abuse, emotional scars, malnutrition and, sadly, even death. Child abuse also cripples precious young lives. These children struggle to accept You as their loving Heavenly Father (Matthew 18:5, 6). Family members often suffer silently and the offenders suffer as well. The offender suffers from the shame and secrecy of his addictive behavior. Lord Jesus, remind me that, through You, others and I can get relief from our abuse. You are the One who empowers me to remember that my anger is associated with the pain from my past—trauma I experienced that I never really dealt with—when feeling abandoned as a child. You are the One who reminds me that the anger usually isn’t associated with the event that I’m experiencing at the moment. Lord Jesus, empower me to understand and set me free when I get so angry with the entire world because of something that happened to me a long time ago. You are the One who empowers me to understand and set me free when I lash out at everyone who comes into contact with me because of the constant pain I have deep down inside of me. Give me Your understanding and set me free, Lord, when I feel so hurt and I don’t want to let anyone come close to me; when I have built up blocks of protection. When I use anger as a way of protecting myself from further hurt, give me Your understanding and set me free.
You are the One who reminds me that certain situations subconsciously remind me of events that happened a long time ago and that they can cause me to automatically react with anger. Subconsciously, I don’t want others to hurt me, so I defend myself by striking first with anger and hurtful words. You have taught me that my past hurts are the roots of my anger and that they are still living in me. Thank You for empowering me to understand and give my past hurts, abuse, and people who have harmed me to You, to take away and heal me for Your honor and glory. As we walk together, on Your path, I see a beautiful green tree and under it is a bed of green pachysandras with little white flowers and heart-shaped violets bordering the walkway. Today, I will sow the seeds of Your ways in my mind and heart to pass on to others for Your honor and glory. Oh, how You nourish Your creation with Your love and compassion! As You show me Your beauty and love, You bring me up when I am low by putting Your beautiful creation before me. I pray in Your wonderful and nourishing name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus Christ, my God who supplies all my energy, You are sharp, active, and alive in my life. You are my awesome God who is aware of every detail of my life. You are brighter than a million glowing suns and You are my tender, joyful, and warmhearted friend. You are my wonderful, welcoming, and nice host. You are my pleasant and good Helper. You have promised to answer every prayer, according to Your will, when two or more agree. As You empower me to help other people, we come into agreement for Your honor and glory. You are my gracious and approachable God who loves me. You are my totally resourceful Lord who brings me joy. You are my absolute, loving, and prepared prosperity!
You send various kinds of thoughts to my soul like beautiful, fragrant flowers. You give me wonder-working power to change and to grow in You and to be like You. When thoughts that are not of You creep up, You come in and say, “Rebuke those thoughts and let My truth blossom in your mind!” Every day, my precious and beloved Lord Jesus, You allow the new seeds of Your Heavenly thoughts to sprout up and arise in me just like exquisite, dazzling, and divine flowers. In You, my thoughts become a grand and splendid bouquet of love and compassion.
Thank You for empowering me with Your knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to gain an awareness of and overcome my emotions for Your honor and glory! Thank You for teaching me how to respond to my emotions in a Godly, proper, and healthy way. You, my Lord Jesus Christ God Almighty, are the One who empowers me to act in a Heavenly manner. You are the One who gives me the ability and authority to understand and have dominion over my feelings. You are my Mighty God who empowers me with Your love, compassion, understanding, kindness, and vitality to move forward in the way You want me to go. You are the One who has empowered me to take control of my life and feelings, that I would walk in Your abundant and splendid peace, which is in my heart and in my life. Thank You for empowering me to choose a more effective and positive way of living for Your honor and glory! You have empowered me to talk directly to You as my wonderful and powerful Counselor, in prayer, to receive all of the answers and healing that You willingly give to me because of Your grace and because I have asked. You have taken my interests and made them Yours. As I walk upon Your path, I realize that spending time with You is like walking quietly in deep woods near running streams; amazing joy and calm come from being with You. Your love is also like an ocean. I let all Your love pour upon me and You are the harbor where I am safe and warm. As You gently carry me on Your waters, I’m like a boat sailing through life and, in You, I am confident in all things. I thank You and I pray in Your beautiful and gracious name of freedom, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
“Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. Give thanks in all circumstances.”

My Prayer:
My Lord Jesus Christ, who is here with me, You are the One who gives me a new start today. Balance my day. You are the One who empowers me to feel sure about this day. You are the One who empowers me to do what I need to do. Lord Jesus, You are the One who provides me with a new start. You are the One who gives me Your source of energy and strength. Thank You for empowering me to fully absorb Your love, compassion, and peace every day so I can go on for Your honor and glory. Be kind to me, Lord. You are the One who empowers me with my needs. You are the One who empowers me to make the right choices today and every other day and night. You are the One who empowers me to keep my life active for You, Lord. In all my busy time, be with me. You are my prescription for life. My Lord, You are the One who empowers me to remember that guilt can send me into doubting You. You are the One who reminds me that doubt is sin and that it comes from not trusting in Your powerful and living Word of truth. You are the One who reminds me that doubt interrupts Your truth, which is in my mind and heart. You are the One who reminds me that when I doubt, hope dies and sin lives. You are the One who reminds me that doubt keeps me from making the right decisions and that it causes me to feel guilt and shame.
Lord, I need to receive Your strength and love right now! You are the One who reminds me that doubt can cause me to stop praying and can cause me to stop seeing reality. You are the One who reminds me that doubt can cause me to become anxious and impatient. You are the One who reminds me that it can cause me to do things my way and mess up. You are the One who reminds me that doubt can delay the solution in what I’m doing for You and Your purpose. You are the One who reminds me that doubt can paralyze my walk with You, that it can stop me from overcoming, and that it can disable me from functioning properly. You are the One who reminds me that doubt keeps me from exercising Your powerful and living Word of truth. You are the One who reminds me that doubt can make me give up, despair, become weary, and become uncaring.
What I need is specific, Lord—I need You! I need You to direct me. Speak to my heart and soul. You are the One who empowers me in my current condition. You are the One who enters all of Your support into my life. You are the One who makes me alert. I need you, Lord! You are the One who frees me from all the bondage that is upon me; all that is not of You. You are the One who provides a way out for me. You are the One who engraves my heart and soul with who You are. You are the One who lets me receive Your strength and love. Thank You for empowering me to be released from the bondage of despair, doubt, shame, and guilt into Your glorious light, for Your honor and glory. I’m still on Your path, Lord, and as we walk together, I see a white bench and we sit and rest together holding hands. Across the path, I see planted asparagus ferns surrounded by sweet, white alyssum. I thank You for Your charm of the soft summer. My blessed Father, I love You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ! So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
My Lord Jesus Christ, my great and wise Physician and Messiah, You are my prepared and abundant enthusiasm. You are my advanced goodness and we are One. You are my polite and responsive Lord. You are my sympathetic and aiding God. You are my mellow and happy neighbor. You are my receptive and affectionate King who is quick to act. You are my softhearted, sensible, and sensitive God above all. You are my acknowledging, influential, and perceptive Master of my life. You are my Wisdom. You are the One who empowers me to apply Your truth to my life to prepare me for what You have in store for me. You are the One who empowers me to exercise spiritually by the power of Your Holy Spirit to guide me in all Your ways. My precious and Almighty God, thank You for empowering me to remember and for energizing my faith to know Your powerful and living Word of truth well, that I would be able to recall the appropriate passages when prompted, by Your Holy Spirit, to witness or preach for Your honor and glory.
You are the One who empowers me to have strong hope in You and to persist until I see Your answers for me. You are the One who empowers me to keep asking until I see and hear Your answers for me. You are the One who empowers me to keep seeking until You answer. You are the One who empowers me to keep knocking until You open the door for me. Each time I ask, seek, and knock, You most certainly hear me! You are the One who gives me the strength to be persistent until I receive Your answers for me.
You are the greatest power in and beyond the universe, and You are the Creator of the universe. You are my One and only omnipotent God. You are my One and only omniscient God. You are my One and only benevolent God. What a privilege it is to be made in Your image and likeness! You made me from the dust of Your earth and have given me Your breath of life. How awesome the thought is of You saying, “I want them to be like Me.” Now that I have asked You into my heart and have become a born-again believer, I have You in me. I am Your temple and You have empowered me with Your authority to express Your great qualities to the world and to live a life of love, power, intelligence, and freedom! You created me to rule over every other creature You created. It's all there, Lord, I just need to open my heart and let You live in me and through me in order to see it all and receive it all. In You, I have received and will release to others all of these wonderful gifts You have given me! I thank You and I pray in Your ongoing, everlasting, and persistent name of Heavenly blessings, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
My Prayer:
My experienced Lord Jesus Christ, who has all wisdom, You are the One who empowers me and prepares me with spiritual exercise to endure long distances and tests of faith. I need You! You're the expert. You are the One who empowers me to start this day with You. You are the One who indicates to me what I should do for my loss of strength. You are the One who shows me how to determine what to do and what is good for me. You are the One who empowers me to monitor what I put in my life, body, soul, and spirit every day. You are the One who reminds that if I sin, I must humble myself to You quickly and usher myself into our Father’s throne room—clothed in righteousness by Your blood—to receive mercy and find grace (Hebrews 4:16). You are the One who brings me back into Your light!
You are the One who reminds me that if I choose not to forgive, the weight of bitterness, resentment, and anxiety can hang over my shoulders and I can miss many of Your blessings. You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I refuse to forgive others, broken relationships can come into my life, I may stop caring for the welfare of others, and I may lose confidence in Your promises to protect me and give me good things. My God Almighty, You are the One who reminds me that when others sin against me, they sin against You first and they may not know You personally. You are the One who reminds me that if I refuse to forgive, I can become arrogant, proud, and self-sufficient, saying things like, “Why should I forgive!? I can handle this on my own!” You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I do not forgive, pride can grow in my heart and I can be kept from the grace of Your Spirit of forgiveness. You are the One who reminds me that if I refuse to forgive, even when the inflictions are severely deep, I can lose hope and peace. You are the One who reminds me that the power to forgive is in my hands and that unforgiveness closes Your door of healing for the person who harmed me and for me. You are the One who reminds me that if I am unwilling to forgive I can become unmerciful, harsh, unremitting, and unwilling to allow others to correct their mistakes. You are the One who reminds me that if I do not forgive others, You will not forgive me (Matthew 6:15). You are the One who empowers me to remember that when I forgive those who have hurt me, You will forgive me and You will fully restore me! Thank You for empowering me to repent and forgive, that You would lift the weight of many great burdens off of me for Your honor and glory.
Father, You are the One who empowers me to be led in Your ways and You empower me to only associate with those with whom You want me to associate. You are the One who has redeemed me, Lord! You are the One who pulls me out of all of these burdens and out of the enemy’s hands. You are the One who takes Your righteous hand and guides me. You are the One who makes me strong and fills my whole body, soul, and spirit with Your confidence and magnificent abilities. Thank You for empowering me to forgive, that I would be set free for Your honor and glory. You are the One who gets me to the right place in Your perfect timing.
Today on Your path, we are walking together and You have put spectacular flowers before me. They are verbenas and they rise above the foliage to see You. I see so many blooming flowers that last from spring to fall. You have given them names like little pinky, bright pink rose, salmon-colored princess glorias, raspberry rose, and bright red starfires! They are all in their own bouquets. Thank You, my holy One, for Your beautiful treasures of life, which You give me along my path with You. I pray in Your name of power, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
My Lord Jesus Christ, my mighty Rock, Redeemer, and God Almighty, You are my enthusiastic, capable, and good God. You are my secret place of rest. You are my experienced, committed, faithful, and mighty Warrior. You are my healing, my peace, and my harmony. You are my living and active captain. You are my certain, aware, and guiding communicator. You give me spectacular experiences, visions, and light to help me grow closer to You and fulfill Your will for my life. You give me every one of Your awesome answers and You comfort me with Your great, wonderful, and everlasting love. You give me Your thoughts to overcome. You are the first thought in my mind when I wake up. When I consider my day, I choose and it is my will to, with Your help, put it in Your hands as I say, “What's next, Lord? What are Your plans and purposes for me today?” Precious Father, I put every day in Your loving and big-hearted hands. I commit my whole being—body, mind, and heart—to You to do as You please.
You are the One who speaks to me in Your small voice and You have empowered me to forgive! You have fully restored my joy! You are the One who directs me in the freeing act of forgiveness. You are my God who empowers me to draw near to You and You give me the opportunity to come into Your presence through forgiveness. Through the power that You have given me to forgive, I have been cleansed and refreshed in my whole body, soul, and spirit; marvelous blessings have come because I’ve obeyed Your call to forgive! You have taught me how to quickly forgive, move forward, and focus on things that are beneficial to me and to others. You are my awesome King of kings who reminds me of what You said on the cross, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.”
Thank You for empowering me to recommit myself to You each night before sleeping and to thank You for all of Your gracious and overflowing blessings that have chased me down for Your honor and glory. Thank You for going ahead of me for the next day to arrange all things perfectly in order for me for Your honor, glory, and Kingdom. You are greater than rubies, diamonds, and every other precious stone. You glisten in my heart and sometimes I even see all sorts of beautiful colors, knowing that they are of You. The true effectiveness of my prayers depends on You. You bring a lift to my mind and You renew my heart every moment. Through faith, You are my new beginning that moves me with Your love and courage. I thank You and I pray in Your highly exalted name, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
Sometimes God has to come in with some shock treatment to get my attention. So many times, I believe that I don't need the Lord and that I can walk just fine without Him. This is the enemy’s lie to me to try to lead me on his road toward death. The enemy is against me!
I need You, Lord; I love You, Lord; and You are for me!

My Prayer:
My Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, who gives me a new identity in You, You are the One who empowers me to make my thoughts obedient to You. You are the One who programs my mind according to all Your goodness and according to Your powerful and living Word of truth. You are the One who gives me Your courage, Lord. You are the One who empowers me to change my unbelief to belief in You in all areas. Jesus, thank You for empowering me to cast down every stronghold and imagination that is not of You and that is not in Your hands for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to cast down any thought that is contrary to Your powerful and living Word of truth; every thought that keeps me in fear and bondage. You empower me to take away the world's influences that claim my attention.
You are the One who reminds me that guilt is an emotion that can be a deadly one. You are the One who empowers me to remember that You do not condemn me when I violate Your moral law. You are the One who reminds me that guilt is intended to lead me to conviction, then to confession, then to repentance. You are the One who reminds me that guilt should never ruin my life or keep me trapped. You are the One who reminds me that it takes faith to resolve true guilt. You are the One who reminds me that anger can come from feeling guilty. You are the One who reminds me that guilt can be expressed by passive behavior. You are the One who reminds me that guilt becomes sin if I hold on to it. Thank You for empowering me to understand and bring all my guilty feelings to You to receive Your forgiving grace, mercy, favor, and peace for Your honor and glory. You are the One who reminds me that there is a false sense of guilt that comes from feeling guilty for something I didn’t do. You are the One who reminds me that false guilt is one of the enemy’s favorite weapons against me. You are the One who reminds that You are my eternal source of truth when I feel guilty. You are the One who reminds me whether my guilt is real or false, You allow it, but it is not of You. You are the One who reminds me that other people can put guilt on me by calling me names or by saying things like, “You’re too fat and you’re no good.” You are the One who empowers me to identify and reminds me of the source of my guilt, so that I bring it to You to be eliminated. You are the One who empowers me to see these guilty thoughts and detach them from me. Thank You for empowering me to see where the guilt is coming from and to confess it to You for understanding, healing, and forgiveness toward others and myself for Your honor and glory.
You are the One who brings me close to You and leads me on Your perfect path. You are the One who leads me home through the fields of my dreams of You. My heart is, most certainly, in love with You. You are my way to live to be satisfied. I thank You from the deepest level of my heart for the cheerful path You have given me, which is like a huge garden with beautiful red, pink, and white geraniums. You are the One who has created a beautiful rhythm of color and clear streams of water, from which the mom and dad ducks and their babies drink. Lord, we’re still on Your path and now it’s evening. The high stars above are sparkling lights that brighten my path. Jesus Christ, I put this all in Your hands and I pray in Your name. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

You have empowered me to put my confidence in You from a place of loyalty. My Master, I gladly devote myself to You and Your promises. In You, I happily dedicate myself to Your Kingdom principles. Based on the degree of warrant of Your goodness, grace, and salvation, I genuinely and excitedly place my life in Your hands to do with as You please! You are my considerate God of equality. You are my reasonable God who hears me and Your greatness exceeds the universe. Through You, I am empowered to share what You have shared with me. Your provision, knowledge, understanding, wisdom, and faith come to me with the snap of Your fingers and You came into my heart with that very same snap.
You are the One who increases Your faith in me incredibly and immensely! You are the One who increases Your faith in me every day! You are the One who has told me, “You can move mountains with a mustard seed amount of faith.” Thank You for reminding me that I can only please You with faith and that my faith in You is my strength.

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, my important Counselor, You are the One who hears my prayer. I need You and Your love. I cannot walk in this world alone. You are Almighty. You are my example and I learn from You! You're my confidence. I need to read Your powerful and living Word of truth and I need to listen to You carefully. I need to be serious about committing my life to You. Lord, Your love is attainable and easy for me to get. I just need to ask. You have promised to assist me in all that I do for You and You lift me up, with Your love and strength, every day. You are always there for me.
You are the One who reminds me that spiritual independence means living outside of Your will. You are the One who empowers me to remember that living outside of Your will means that I am choosing to please myself and taking matters into my own hands. You are the One who empowers me to remember that, when I choose spiritual independence, pursuing my own desires comes first. You are the One who empowers me to remember that deception comes second; the enemy paints an entirely untrue picture of how things will be if I change my circumstances to what I want them to be. You are the One who empowers me to remember that decision comes third; something that sounds right, looks good, and seems harmless but that I know is not of You. You are the One who empowers me to remember that departure comes fourth; leaving Your good and perfect will to pursue my own will. You are the One who empowers me to remember that delight comes fifth; finding temporary pleasure while walking outside of Your plan by doing what I want instead of what You want. You are the One who empowers me to remember that despair and disaster come last.
My Almighty God, You are the One who reminds me that, no matter how far I have wondered off spiritually, I can turn back to You. Just like the story of the prodigal son, I will have all of my needs met in You. Lord Jesus, You are the One who empowers me to keep my eyes on You and Your will for me! You are my knowledge of the future on the line I walk. Thank You for empowering me to follow every lead You give me for Your honor and glory. You are my God of life who is real to me! I will always remember that You never forget. On Your path this day, You are in my heart forever and we live together on this treasured and life-filled journey You have given me. I am amazed with Your bright sun on my shoulders, and Your design of tall plants—gladiolas of pink, red, and blue and red and yellow canmas. Thank You, my Heaven-sent God Almighty, for the best taste of Your love everywhere I go. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my peaceful Shepherd, I call upon You to change me for Your glory. I am asking You, Lord, to save my whole body, soul, and spirit from sin and rescue me from my addictions; give me more faith, Lord! I do believe in You and I know that faith in You can bring about radical changes in my life and a new and transformed behavior. Lord, You are the One who fills my whole body, soul, and spirit with Your light! You are the One who moves in my heart. You are the One who creates in me a new appetite for You and Your ways. You are the One who empowers me to remember and believe that You are not the Author of a poor self-image or false guilt. You are the One who empowers me to believe that You are with me in my troubles, sufferings, temptations, negative obstacles, and loss of loved ones. You are the One who empowers me to believe that You assign Yourself to the task of carrying my burdens and that You offer me Your peace, love, and understanding in my hurting heart. You are the One who empowers me to believe that You have a purpose for hard times. When my circumstances are out of control, when I’m afraid, and when I’m hurting, You are the One who empowers me to believe that You have relief for me. You are my vitamins and minerals when I need Your goodness. Thank You for empowering me to remember the things You recommend and to walk in them, with You, every day, for Your honor and glory.
Father, You are the One who increases Yourself in me. Thank You for empowering me with Your financial knowledge, understanding, and wisdom and the right view of how to use Your money for You and Your honor and glory. Lord, You are the One who empowers me with Your rock-solid plan, which is built upon the strong foundation of Your powerful and living Word of truth. Your powerful and living Word of truth is real and active in my daily devotions to You and it empowers me to graduate to each and every next step of my life with You. Here I am, Lord—walking with You upon Your glorious and hopeful path. I see a gallery of flowers—gazanias—which put on a show of sundrenched brilliance and color. They look like daisies, You open them up in the day, and You close them at night. You even give them other names—deep yellow sun golds and orange, white, and yellow sun bursts, and fiesta red! I also see Your all-white Aztec queens dancing. My best Friend, I thank You for these precious memories and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Jesus Christ, my amazing Sustainer and God Almighty, You are my Creator and Lord who keeps me in Your thoughts.

You are my God who comforts me with Your love and gives me Your strength. You are my God who gives me security in You. You are the One who gives me full knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of every step You want me to take forward. You are my precious God who is always with me. You paint a beautiful picture before me of the bright future You have for me. Through Your Word, You teach me of all of Your eternal truth. Through our communication of prayer, You allow Your truth to abide in my whole body, soul, and spirit and You give me Your strength to walk in Your ways. What a blessing of fulfillment I have in growing with and talking to You. As I continue to grow and walk with You, I am empowered to focus on the ways of Heaven!

Dear Lord Jesus, who forgives my sins and gives me joy, I want a change in my life! You are the One who empowers me to drop off all my evil habits and replace them with Your new ones.

Thank You for empowering me to live a confident life in You for Your honor and glory.

You are the One who empowers me to understand and reminds me that You want me to go to You when I have feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness, to receive Your confidence, clarity, and understanding. You are the One who empowers me, when I think I can’t face another day, to recall Your simple truth that I can do all things through You, Jesus Christ, who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)! You are the One who empowers me to remember and believe that my worth is not based on earthly accomplishments. When I feel unloved, You are the One who empowers me to remember that I am beautiful to You. You are the One who empowers me to understand and remember what I have learned in Your powerful and living Word of truth about Your unchanging nature. You have taught me that there’s nothing I can do to change Your love for me, that it is unconditional, and that it flows from Your throne of grace to me for Your honor and glory. Your love is unconditional yesterday, today, and tomorrow; Your love for me is the same forever and ever! You are the One who reminds me that placing my faith in You gives me unfailing abilities to do Your will. You are the One who empowers me to roll my burdens and heart unto You.

Today on Your happy path, on our journey of Your plan that is Your gift to me for my life, I see Your deer eating Your green grass. They see us coming and hold up their heads as, I’m sure, they’re thinking, “What are you doing here?” I see Your petunias growing in large patches—a jot of color more than just pretty. My spectacular Lord, it brings joy to me to see Your creation. I love You and I pray in Your special name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who is with me wherever I go, Why am I confused? Why does our deep intimacy seem lost? What is happening? I can't blame You, Lord. You never change. Why does our communication seem broken down and why has disinterest set in when it comes to doing Your will? I am wandering around. I can't make a decision. You are the One who empowers me to see clearly. You are the One who empowers me to see all unrealistic aspects of whatever is preventing me from doing Your will. Where am I now? When I fail to see Your miracles, You are the One who empowers me to believe that You are still at hand working in my life. When I fail, You are the One who lifts me up and gets me started again. When I feel like I am imprisoned and away from You, You are the One who brings me close to You and sets me free. In times of heartache, disappointment, and loss, You are the One who empowers me to believe that You will get me through it all and that Your joy will come after. When I feel sorrow, You are the One who empowers me to take my burden to You to see me through to Your complete answers and solutions. When I feel like I can’t handle the day, You empower me to pick up Your powerful and living Word of truth, read it, and talk to You to receive the hope I need.
Thank You for empowering me to pray to You, that I would be readjusted and refocused in my whole body, soul, and spirit for Your honor and glory. You are the One who reminds me that true prayer begins with confession of any sin I have and repentance. You are the One who empowers me to be joyful when it seems like the world is coming apart at the seams right in front of my eyes. You are the One who empowers me to praise You and thank You in private for what You have done for me, that I would know that You get all the credit. You are the One who empowers me to praise You and thank You in front of others for what You have done for me, that they would know that You get all the credit. Thank You for empowering me to turn from confusion to clarity and to focus in on Your powerful and living Word of truth for Your honor and glory. Thank You for empowering me to make the right changes to get back on Your perfect path for Your honor and glory. As we walk on Your path, in the gardens, I see a tall tree with shade. We sit down together to have lunch. I see one of Your ant piles running over with red ants. They’re staying busy gathering food for their queen and for winter. As I watch them, I recall Your Scripture, “Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise,” (Proverbs 6:6). I then look over to the other side of me and I see a large garden of white lilies just in time for Easter—the day You rose from the dead and gave me new life. I do enjoy the lilies—what an eye catcher they are. My precious Savior, I thank You for Your glory and the blessings of Your creation. I love You and I pray in Your gracious name, Jesus Christ! So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my holy Helper, You are the One who shows me the pressures and bondages that are causing me to slip and lose my footing; the things that are causing me to fall and act foolishly. You are the One who empowers me to make the right changes. Lord, what areas do I need Your help in? What am I afraid of? Lord, You are the One who empowers me to overcome these areas in my life that are not of You. You are the One who empowers me to overcome all evil in times of temptation.

You are the One who empowers me possess Your strong confidence and to believe that it drives away doubt, fear, and anxiety. You are the One who empowers with Your confidence to overcome depression. You are the One who empowers with Your confidence to transform my fears and anxieties into faith. You are the One who empowers me to worship and focus on Your goodness through all circumstances and troubles. Thank You for empowering me to never lose sight of You and for empowering me and training me for every battle that comes toward me for Your honor and glory.
You are the One who empowers me to pray, meditate upon, and rely upon You, Your powerful and living Word of truth, and not myself. I desire to be with You and in Your plans. Today and every other day and night, Your faith awakens many new places, people, and things in my life for Your honor and glory. Lord, from the moment we first met on Your path, I fell deeply in love with You and have been ever since. We are partners on this path of Yours and we work together to pass on Your perfect will of love to everyone who will listen. I long to have adventures and entertainment with You. As we walk along on this journey, I see several of Your baby rabbits with their momma. They’re looking for food and playing. When they see me, they run away to safety. Along the way, I also see green hedges and different flowerbeds of lavender and salvia that serve as borders on my walkway. I see Your multi-colored rocks lying all along the pathway. My pleasant Creator, I thank You for Your beauty and I pray in Your lovely name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Lord, when friction arises You are the One who empowers me to only see Your way in handling things. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to not hold a grudge against anyone anymore and take away their pain as well. You said I am to protect myself from the slum.

You are the One who reminds me that I will most certainly reap what I sow (Galatians 6:7). You are the One who empowers me to sow Your godly seeds in my whole body, soul, and spirit. On Your journey, You have given me and walk with me on Your defined pathway with Your actual beauty and wide open spaces of joy. Lord, I hear Your thunder. Here comes the rain. Get me under Your shelter, where I am protected. It’s pouring like a huge waterfall; I stick my head out of the shelter and I get my head wet. Back into the shelter I go, until the rain’s over. I stick my head out again and see Your beautiful bouquet of rainbows. I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

As you may have noticed, during this time in my life a truly solid foundation of Christ was being established in me. Although I had been a Christian for several years up to this point, this was a period when real roots were being formed. As every Christian continues to walk out their journey with the Lord, they will undergo several times of molding and refinement. I would consider this time in my life to be one of the most critical moldings that I underwent. Through the intimate times I had with God that resulted from the circumstances I was experiencing, I received a greater understanding of who He is through His promises, who I am as His child, and of His purpose for my life. Although I still had struggles to deal with, from this time forward I was even more dedicated to getting to know God and to making Him known.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my God who wakes me in the morning, You are the One who empowers me to stop robbing myself of Your joy and what Your generosity brings to me. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to bring inspiration and love to all others. You are the One who empowers me to be motivated by You, Jesus. You are the One who lets all Your love, grace, and understanding flow from my lips and throughout my life. Lord, You are the One who empowers me to make my attitude right. You are the One who empowers me to bring my performance up to the potential You know I can achieve. You are so wonderful, so great, and You always care. Your power and love make me strong. Thank You for fighting every battle that comes against me for Your honor and glory. You are the One who fills my heart with Your song. You are the One who empowers me to remember that Your joy takes the burden out of serving You.
You are the One who empowers me to remember that when I have temptation, I need to go to You and ask You to remove the temptation. You are the One who shows me the source of my temptations, that I would bring them to You. You are the One who reminds me that everyone faces temptations. You are the One who empowers me to remember that You know how I feel when I am faced with temptation. You are the One who reminds me that temptation comes from the enemy and his fiery darts. Thank You that, in times of temptation when the enemy whispers lies of deceit and discouragement, You empower me to take a stand against him and be clothed in Your mighty armor for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to remember that temptation is not sin, but that acting upon the temptation is sin. Thank You for empowering me with the strength and wisdom I need to steer clear of temptations for Your honor and glory. Thank You for empowering me to say no to all evil, by Your power, for Your honor and glory.
Lord, I’m walking with You on Your path—what a great journey. My life is with You forever. You are my life today. As we walk, You reach out Your hand and hold mine, You give me Your deep understanding and wisdom, and You direct me in which way I should go. When I go to sleep, You are the One who wakes me in the morning with Your precious love. Today, we are taking a rest while we sit on a big rock. We are looking over the beautiful view of Your high mountains with snow-covered tips. There’s a large blue river running through pine trees. There’s a rabbit poking his head out ahead of me. A cloud is going over the sun as it shoots out different oranges, whites, and other colors. You made all things beautiful for me this day. You have beautiful, fair-smelling and colored flowers -- red, pink, and yellow -- and birds; I hear them singing from You to me. My Father in Heaven, I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who strengthens my will through all the valleys, I need You! I don't want to stay here in misery. I want to get my life together for You, for Your honor and glory, and I want to go on with Your plan. Lord, You are the One who lets me hear what You say to me clearly. You are the One who empowers me to see clearly. You are the One who lets Your powerful and living Words of truth sink deep into my heart. The only way I can survive is through You, Jesus. I need You, Lord. I need Your support. You are the One who lets me experience Your blessings. Lord, hold my hand tightly on this journey to serenity and recovery. You are the One who gives me hope. You are the One who empowers me to walk away from sin, the enemy, and self-destruction that they would not destroy my body, soul, or spirit. You are the One who lets me taste Your love and comfort and lets me feel Your presence. Thank You for empowering me to make my morning complete when I begin it with You—with our talk.
Thank You for empowering me to make it through the day and night, as I surrender all of me to You for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to praise You no matter what happens. You are the One who empowers me to remember that if I am proud, arrogant, conceited, or selfish I cannot have good prayers with You. You are the One who empowers me to remember that love is not jealous, it covers a multitude of sins, and that You are true love (1 Corinthians 13:4; 1 Peter 4:8; 1 John 4:8). You are the One who empowers me to yield my whole self to You in order to die to self. Thank You for empowering me to allow Your Holy Spirit to live in me and through me for Your honor and glory. On our path together, I see one of Your turtles walking so slowly. He sees me, but he keeps goin’ and I decided to give him a name—besides “turtle.” I named him Slow Poke. He seemed to think it was okay; he didn’t say anything or run away. I see a beautiful patch of winter pine holly and sparkling purple trailing ice plant. Thank You, Lord, for Your loveliness. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant and child forever, Carol
My Declaration:

You are my justified and glorified King of majesty. You give me Your perspective and wisdom in every fashion of life. You allow me to know and feel You in my life. You are my Comforter who gives me peace and trust. You are my fun, enjoyable, and exciting Life. You take every little part of my life and wake it up to live for You every day!

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, whose light shines as bright as day for me, You're my hope and encouragement! Calmly hold my hand and lead me in the way to recovery. You are the One who removes all my old ways. You are the One who removes them, Jesus! You have all power. You are the One who lays Your grace over my body, soul, and spirit -- over my whole being. You are the One who empowers me to survive through You, Jesus, and takes my bondage and gives me Your life, Your ways, and Your strength! You are the One who empowers me to change and grow. You are the One who empowers me to rely on, depend on, and receive from You greater and greater. You are the One who empowers me to grow up. You are the One whose kind and loving life flows through me to call others to You. You are the One who empowers me to identify Your ways.
You are the One who reminds me that my pain and shame are the sources of thoughts such as, “What is wrong with me?” You are the One who reminds me that my pain, my shame, my addictions, and my negative emotions keep me frozen in procrastination and that they disable me from functioning. You are the One who empowers me to understand what’s going on and sets me free when I can hardly move to be alive in the world. You are the One who empowers me to understand and sets me free when I feel like everyone is looking at me, when I feel like I’m all wrong, and when I feel like no one likes me. You are the One who empowers me to give You all of these burdens and to not be in denial. You have taught me that these are actually the symptoms of the fear of being embarrassed. It’s such a lonely place, Lord.
You are the One who sets me free and empowers me to remember that my overwhelming pain can freeze my learning skills because of self-pity and apathy. You are the One who empowers me to understand and sets me free from my symptoms of lack of interest, lack of enthusiasm, lack of concern, unresponsiveness, passiveness, and lack of passion. You are the One who empowers me to give all of these negative emotions to You, that You would remove them! You are the One who empowers me to remember that I cannot love others or learn when my learning skills are frozen. You are the One who empowers me to remember that I cannot understand an emotion that originates in my subconscious mind by consciously thinking about it—I have to come to You first, in prayer, to be empowered to talk about it openly. Then, if I need to, I can talk to a trusted Christian therapist so I can understand more. You are the One who empowers me to remember and understand that I cannot change or control emotions that originate in my subconscious by constantly telling them to stop—I can only receive Your power, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to stop these negative emotions by casting on You. You are the One who breaks all bondages and generational curses in me; You are the One who sets me completely free. You are the One who reminds me that You care for me.
Today on Your path, it’s early. You woke me up this day to a sweet and beautiful morning. The grass is wet with dew and I see blue, far off hills, covered with green grass. I see the shining sun coming up and I smell Your fresh air. I see bright red roses, which You sent from Heaven, which are always blooming—they smell so sweet. There are bouquets of flowers, in all different colors, for me to walk by—they have a ribbon of green grass wrapped around them with Your love. I feel so much better today because of Your love for me and for all of creation. My master gardener and God Almighty, I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my Helper and Savior, I have sorrow, confusion, and uncertainty deep in my soul. I know You are the solution my emotions are craving. I do believe I am precious to You. I am safe with You and You only. You offer me Your true love. Lord, You are the One who gives me new and old friends who can and will support, comfort, encourage, inspire, cry with, laugh with, and pray for me along the way to recovery—friends I can trust.

You are the One who brightens my heart, Lord, and reminds me that one of Your fruits is joy. You are the One who gives me Your overflowing joy bountifully, which gives me laughter. My precious Lord Jesus Christ God Almighty, You are the One who reminds me that the ability to laugh truly is a gift from You and that it is an expression that comes from my heart. You are the One who reminds me that, as a believer, genuine and wholesome laughter is an awesome privilege that I have. You are the One who empowers me to laugh even when things aren’t going the way I would like. You are the One who reminds me that laughter is a stress release, that it takes a load off of my shoulders, and that it refreshes me!
You are the One who reminds me that with You, Christ, I can have happiness in any situation. You are the One who reminds me that, despite what’s going on, You are the One who inspires me and energizes me to be joyful. You are the One who reminds me that laughter is healing for my whole body, soul, and spirit. You are the One who reminds me of Your powerful and living Words of truth, “Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore,” (Psalm 16:11). You are the One who has taught me that if I am walking around with sadness and do not have Your joy, I am not experiencing the abundantly good life You want me to experience. You are the One who reminds me that it’s my choice to either stay sad or rejoice in You.
Today, on Your fabulous path, You move me toward Your ultimate goal. You make it clear to me that I am not alone on this journey and that You are guiding me along in every step. It’s springtime and Your beautiful hand is moving the flowers as they poke their heads upward. I’m watching a sapphire springtime sky. Everywhere I look, I see more of Your fragile flowers poking through the clay to reach Your sunlight. They’re working so hard to develop into the beautiful flowers You made them to be. I see Your birds going in and out of their nests as they get ready to lay their eggs. Soon Your creation of the baby birds will cause them to poke their heads out of their little eggshell, as they chirp, “Mommy! Daddy! Feed me. Come and keep me warm under your wings.” Thank You for this beautiful, fantastic, and new springtime beginning. My eternal God, Jesus Christ, I love You, I thank You, and I pray in Your name. So be it. Amen! Your servant and child forever, Carol

You are my eternal rest and You give me patience. You are my Redeemer from the curse of the Law unto Your glorious grace. You are the One who shares Your abundant knowledge, understanding, and wisdom with me to help me along life's journey in Your plan for me. You are the One who helps me to be friendly to people and to enjoy their company. The fruit of Your Spirit lives in me and through me, through our relationship, so I can be a calm and confident testimony of who You are.

My Dear God Jesus Christ, who I rely on, I have made some progress. I did better today! I wasn't so compulsive and wasn't running to my addiction. I feel better.

As we walk together on Your path, I see people. I walk over to them, shake their hands, and ask, “Do you know Jesus? If you were to die today…would you go to Heaven?” If they say, “No,” or “I’m not sure,” I say, “Let me tell You about my Heavenly Father.” Together we tell them all about You, Jesus, and we bring them to salvation in You. Thank You for the honor and privilege of serving You, Lord. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus, my trustworthy and faithful God who holds my heart and empowers me, Today is Your day. I lay my heart at the cross. I can do all things through You. Your truth leads me on Your narrow path. Everything You have done for me is out of Your true and precious love for me. You are the Creator of all substance and existence. Your love seeks me when I walk away. You continuously let me know that You have a perfect plan for me and that Your heart beats with my heart. You adopted me out of love and compassion. You've loved me all along, even when I was dead in transgressions. I was a screaming brat, but now I'm calm in You. It took time for You to shape me, but I came around because of Your relentless love. You are the One who gives me the desires of my heart. You are the One who delights in surprising me with something beautiful. You are the One who opens Your hand to satisfy the desires of every living thing (Psalm 145:16). You are the One who has a wonderful, beautiful, and pleasant personality. You are the One who cares about me in all situations and about everything that is in my life. Nothing in my life escapes Your notice. You are the One who empowers me to throw every single circumstance upon You because You care for me (1 Peter 5:7). I thank You and I pray in Your beautiful name of forgiveness, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.

You invite me to a pleasant and delicious supper. Thank You for this special day and every precious moment You have given me. I love You Jesus. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen!

Lord, help these people to see their sin. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who is on the throne of ruling Glory, You are the One who empowers me to walk this hard road towards repentance and healing from all my addictions and anything that I depend on that is not of You.

You know how much I love gardens and You keep bringing them to me. They lift me up when I feel low. Your designs are so inspirational and their energy gives me a lift to go forward. I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who is wonderfully awesome, Nothing is working anymore. Rescue me from the despair of the enemy’s ways. Thank You for releasing me from the addictions of the world, strongholds, and generational curses for Your honor and glory. Everything seems hopeless. I feel like I might as well give up. I get angry with myself because I let these addictions come into my life. I feel numb and out of touch with life and with You. My world seems to be closing in on me.

As we walk along Your path together, I see a large rock garden with a beautiful water fountain trickling down with Your fresh water. I also see a squirrel trying to get water. He falls, and then he gets back up to give it another go. I laugh with Your joy as he looks at me. I’m sure he’s thinking, “What do you want!? I’m thirsty. Don’t bother me. Go away!” As I walk with You, I’m glad in the laughter and joy that You give me. My big-hearted Lord, I thank You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your servant forever, Carol

Dear Jesus Christ, who helps me to grow and mature in You, Take these overwhelming emotions away, the emotions that I am covering up with my addictions. Tell me what I should do. You are the One who helps me to bring my addictions and burdens to the cross. I know I need to lean on You, I'm just having trouble doing so. I get these feelings of helplessness that I feel are out of my control. You are the One who takes away the confusion and despair in which I am living. I know that my addictions are destructive, yet I am still letting them live in my life. Remind me that You are not the Author of helplessness or destruction.

As we walk along Your path, I see bold shapes of boulders and green valleys filled with tall grass and wild white daisies poking through. Ah, there goes a red coyote running through!

You are my Creator of unity and perfect design. I surely do love You, my flawless Jesus Christ, and I pray in Your name. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

Lord Jesus, my eye-opening and refreshing God who renews me, I come before You, my holy One, and I know that You hear me because You are within me. You are the One who gives me complete freedom. You are the One who makes me feel light in Your blessings and truth. My Master, Your answers are always on time and amazingly abundant. You have healed all of me!

Lord Jesus Christ, my God Almighty, Your will for my life always begins with communication between us. The better I know You, the more Your intentions, will, and desires become clear and understandable to me. You are the One who empowers me to pray and ask to make Your will known to me, “Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness,” (Psalm 143:10, KJV). Lord, You are the One who personalizes our relationship with all the details of Your ways.

I thank You and I pray in Your amazing and mighty name of restoration, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
Sin will keep us from experiencing the type of life God wants us to experience, and a wounded spirit is often a major cause of sin. God has given everyone the power to control every part of his being. He “…has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind,” (2 Timothy 1:7, NKJV).
When we choose to step into God's will for our lives, which is holy living, we begin to walk in that very power, love, and self-control that He created us to have. When dealing with sin, it's important to immediately bring the problem to God and allow Him to give us the forgiveness, power and wisdom to overcome it. Trying to subdue the issue in our own way or with our own ideas may bring temporary relief, but God is the only One who brings permanent relief.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, my Author of life, I did better yesterday with Your help. I'm still dealing with emotions of anger, resentment, paralyzing fear, self-pity, and confusion. I still feel the need to numb myself. Please help me to stop breeding negative attitudes and behaviors when I feel helpless. You are the One who will remove my anger and resentment and will be there for me in all situations. Remind me that You are not the author of paralyzing fear or self-pity. When I feel out of control, help me to come back to Your self-control! Remind me that apart from You I can do nothing. When I am compulsive in eating or any other addiction, help me to understand why, that I would stop for You and for Your glory. Thank You for empowering me to deal with my emotions of helplessness, resentment, paralyzing fear, self-pity, and negative attitudes for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to bring all of these things to You to receive Your peace and mending deep within my soul and spirit. Thank You for empowering me by faith to be strong, forgiving, self-controlled, clear minded, happy, courageous, confident, bold, and to have a positive and godly attitude and godly behavior for You. I thank You for Your love and compassion for me and I sing glory to You and give You praise.
As we walk on Your path, I spend time looking around all the beautiful gardens that You have formed. I hear a dove. I cannot see him, but I’m sure he’s calling his mate. I see planted locuses and purple-waved petunias. My amazing and charming Lord, what special beauty You give me! I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who is life to my whole body, soul, and spirit, Thank You for giving me the opportunity to do right. With Your help, I was able to do so last night.

Make me whole.
We are walking together on Your path and I see a defined route through the landscape. I see mixed hardy primroses and black knight butterfly bushes. I see blue jays, several of them, and they’re beautiful. They’re talking and singing and I know You made them just for me as forget-me-nots mark my trail along the garden path. You bring many beautiful things to me along Your path, as You give me joy and contentment. You are the highest power over all who has created all things. My prosperous Lord Jesus, whose heavens touch the earth with beauty, I love You and I pray in Your name. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus, my righteous God of answers who is always with me in everything I do for now and until eternity, You are the One who stimulates and brushes up my whole being with Your love and compassion.

You pour out Your power, grace, mercy, favor, goodness, and the multitude of the rest of Your blessings into my life every day. You have so much to give me that I can’t even name it all. You kindle, instill, and trigger Your knowledge, understanding, and wisdom within me. You give me ideas and responsibilities to make positive changes in this life You have given me. When I celebrate by praising You and thanking You for what You have done for me, it puts me in a position to receive even more victories and blessings from You. You inform, influence, and impress me with Your Word, that I would turn my life over to You every day!

Father, You are the One who will renew my whole being and pull me out of this disillusioned, trapped, and terrifying life. You are the One who gives me Your clarity and freedom. Remind me that when I hurt, You hurt and when You hurt, I hurt.
Thank You for setting me free from my feelings of confusion, that I would take control of myself and my life for Your honor and glory!

I feel like withdrawing into my addiction and into isolation. Lord, help me! You are the One who quickly changes my painful situation. You can sanctify me and make me more like You.

Trust Me. I am here for you. I love you. I have the answers. I want the best for you. Keep coming toward Me and you will receive relief and freedom.” You are the One who truly does love me.

I call for You, You hear me instantly, You pick me, and we go forward on Your path.
As we walk along Your pathway of colorful waves of geraniums, yellow perfection violas, and canmas, You invite me in Your new turn on Your path for the day.

I feel my life is out of proportion. I know something is wrong, but I'm not sure what. These negative feelings continue to grow. I know a lot of it is from my past. My family environment and their addictions, compulsions, and abuse have affected my life. I grew up with them. Help me, Lord! You are the One who empowers me to be committed to Your plan through the ministry of the Bible and the ministering, born-again preachers who teach of Your truth and love. They pray with me and teach me all of Your ways so I can walk with You for Your honor and glory. You are the One who commands me to follow You, even through the tough times. You are the One who empowers me to be joyful at all times, to pray continuously, and to give thanks in all circumstances—this is Your will for me and it’s all for You and Your name’s sake (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
As I walk along Your path, it’s time to rest my head. I thank You for all that You have given me and for all that You’ve gotten me through today. I thank You for all the knowledge, understanding, and wisdom You have given me, I thank You for protecting my family and me and, most of all, I thank You for being our Master. I bring to You tomorrow’s list…You pick out what You want me to accomplish, add in Your extras, and give us the strength, time, and guidance to do it all for Your honor and glory. I am resting now. I’ll awaken when You wake me, and I place my life in Your hands until morning. Good night, my precious and kind Lord. You are my full-covering and beloved Master and I pray in Your precious name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who shows me the right path, Thank You again for helping me. I know I could have done better, but it was much better than other times. Lord, I feel like I am starving for nurturing intimacy from human flesh. You are the One who helps me to be set free from the bondage of man-made rules. I know I feel addicted to this person. I am craving to be that special person in his life, but I know that he is not good for me. I really have a struggle with this. You are the One who helps me to be set free from the desires of the flesh; the old man, the old ways, and the old nature. You are the One who helps me to see reality; You help me to see Your truth clearly and walk in it. You are the One who helps me to recognize that when I put people, places, or things before You, they can become false gods. You are the One who helps me to stop denying and to admit to myself my wrongs and compulsions. You are the One who reminds me that when I am out of Your will, I don’t do well and I have no protection. You are the One who helps me to be honest with myself and You, Lord.
Lord, remind me that if someone has repeatedly been hurtful, it is easy to give into vindictive pleasures and anger. My God, when I experience misfortune, You empower me to maintain an attitude of compassion and forgiveness and to trust You, to bring Your perfect justice and judgment to those who have wronged me. You say, “Do not rejoice when your enemy falls and do not to be glad when he stumbles,” (Proverbs 24:17). You are the One who wants to provide for me in every way—in ways that are even too big for me to comprehend. I know that if I do Your will, blessings will come abundantly every day. Lord, as we walk along Your path, You are the One who colors my soul with Your book of Psalms and affirmations that soak into my heart. Each page is a soft covering of Your love, compassion and peace. You are the One who speaks Your pleasant and beautiful Scriptures to me in every step we walk together. Thank You, Lord, for all this great information about You. My Lord of all knowledge and compassion, I love You and I pray in Your name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus Christ, I come to You believing that You are who You say You are and that You reward those who diligently seek You, You are my all-sufficient God who leads me in obedience to You. You are my precious and gentle God of all understanding. You have given me an entirely new life of freedom; the new man, the new ways, and the new creation! You are my righteousness and my compassion. My King and Master, You are my universal life force. You are my true Holy Spirit of eternity. You have all the answers, solutions, and positive results and You graciously, freely, and abundantly give them to me for Your honor and glory. In You, I am earnestly devoted to You. You fill me with Your radical faith. You fill my mouth with Your kind, complimenting, and constructive words. You give me Your steady and abiding trust!
You cover me with the approval of Your blood and, in You, I am justified unto You. You are my Guardian of amazing and determined protection. You always show up right on time! Jesus Christ, as I operate in Your will, You encamp legions of Your angels around me. You help me to forgive others so I can love and live in freedom and in peace. You said on the cross, “Forgive them, Father. They know not what they do.” As You have freely forgiven me, I freely forgive everyone who has harmed me. You are my one and only Most High God. You are my one and only true God. You are my God of jealousy because You want me all to Yourself. I thank You and I pray in Your perfect, honest, and just name above all names, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, in whom I put all my hope, Sometimes when I get around other people, I feel powerless. Their attitudes and opinions pull me into doing things I really don't want to do. When I make a choice, I feel I can't stand behind it. I become anxious and conflicted. I feel like I am being forced. I'm uncomfortable doing what they expect of me and I end up feeling used and powerless. Lord, how did I get into this mess? You are the One who helps me, Jesus. You are my only help. You know all things. You can and will help me. You are the One who points out the road before me to follow. I know that a particular person, whom I feel meshed with, has an unhealthy control over me. You are the One who helps me to break away. This is a destructive relationship. I feel like I am being held hostage.
Lord, You are the One who helps me to see my blind spots; You are the One who helps me to see my denial about this problem. You are the One who helps me to change. I feel like I have no choice, but I know I do. You are the One who helps me make the right choices. You are the One who helps me to examine my life and correct what needs correcting. You are the One who helps me to determine what the right decision is and to make it. Lord, You are the One who is my survival kit. Thank You for empowering me to pull away from wrongdoing, addictions, and things that are not of You for Your honor and glory. You are the One who empowers me to be a servant for You and Your glory. You are the One who supports me with Your tender promises to get wisdom and victory over the enemy. You are the One whose messages of Your powerful and living Word of truth are tender and gracious blessings for me.
As we walk in the garden together, I see a blue house with a white lattice and climbing roses. I see a bed of white daisies. I see a family having a barbeque on their porch. I smell the meat cooking and the fire burning. They seem to be having a good time. I pray, Lord, that they know You. If not, send someone to witness to them. I’m walking by, this may be the only prayer they get—please hear me. I pray that somewhere along the line, they will meet You. I pray in Your mighty name of salvation, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol
My Declaration:
Lord Jesus, my beautiful and comforting God who is the most skilled and talented Bestower of blessings, You are my victory and, through You, I abide in You and in Your blessings. Your Holy Spirit has come to purify my heart. You are my fountain of Living Water. When I’m thirsty and believe that You are who You say You are, You fill me with Your Living Water. You are my beautiful harmony and I surrender my attitudes and opinions to become like You; to become Christ-like. I retreat into Your calmness and contentment. Hallelujah! I love You, Lord!
Jesus Christ God Almighty, I am complete in You, and You pour out Your spring of love and compassion into my heart every day. Surely, Your goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life (Psalm 23:6)! Your wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and compassion are treasures of gold, silver, and precious stones that sparkle and glow in and through me. You are the One who has taught me that knowledge is information, understanding allows me to interpret the information correctly, and wisdom is putting what I’ve interpreted to work in a godly and effective way to glorify You. Hallelujah to You, my God! I thank You for who You are. I praise You, Lord, and I thank You for Your blessings of justification, pardon, reconciliation between us, adoption as Your child, and eternal life, which are the richest promises for me in this life You have given me. You are my very best advice and reference. I enjoy Your essential and fascinating collection of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom found in Your powerful and living Word of truth. My precious, great, and kind Lord who embraces me with Your wonderful, sweet, and enjoyable love, You are the One who gives me many gifts of Your blessings and promises, which are the full coloring of Your perfect nature. You are the One who reveals to me Your peace, comfort, and encouragement as I offer my daily devotions to You. You are the One who empowers me to discover Your hope, deluxe love, compassion, and total victory! I thank You and I pray in Your abundant and gracious name of glory, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
My Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, who shows me Your fresh, new, and everlasting mercy, I feel reluctant sometimes to do Your will. I know that the negative and compulsive behaviors I engage in are pulling me away from You. Lord, forgive me, have mercy on me, and bring me back into Your will and presence. I feel like I can't change or understand why this is going on. I feel helpless and victimized. You are the One who helps me to walk out of denial and into Your reality. I know this behavior is destructive. Give me the awareness of the right way to go. You are the One who helps me to regain control and to do Your will. When I feel heavy and burdensome, You are the One who invites me to possess Your peace and rest. Unmesh every unhealthy thing that has control over me. You are the One who empowers me to understand the process of addiction to recovery. You are the One who gives me Your peace and comfort to share with others. From this day forward, I can honestly say that I am so grateful and thankful to be Your child. You are the One who holds me and makes me strong in every threatening danger and at my worst times. You are the One who has promised that my life is best in Your hands. You give me an incredible and good life that lasts forever, which is equipped with Your secure covering over me. You are the One who empowers me with Your blood and provides for me completely. You are the One who holds my hand tightly forever and ever. You are the One who has made me Your follower and dear child (Ephesians 5:1).
As we walk along Your path, I see a beautiful garden with crushed stone on the ground and organic mulch of redwood and bark. All around the beautiful flowers, I see sawn trees as decoration. I see a beautiful, big, white, fluffy cat. He runs over to me and meows to say, “Hello. How are you?” I lean over to touch him and he scurries off. Thank You, my precious Jesus Christ, for this warm and vibrant day and for seeing that cat, as white as snow—another one of Your beautiful creations. I pray in Your powerful name, Jesus Christ. So be it. Amen! Your child forever, Carol

Lord Jesus, my Advocate and Teacher who has the most powerful and sturdy hand, You are my refuge and You have delivered me. You are my gracious Lord and my precious Prince of Peace. Through Your blood, I am strong in You. Your blood represents the greatest sacrifice that You made for me. Salvation came from You—not only physically, but spiritually as well.

Amen! Your servant forever.

You are the One who helps me to stop playing the role of a martyr for the wrong reasons; although I would be honored to be a martyr for You if it is Your will.
You are the One who helps me to yield my power, strength, and self to You. Lord Jesus, You are the One who helps me to cheer up, move forward, and be accountable before You.

You are the One who reminds me that You have a way and a plan for me to go forward. You are the One who helps me to remember that the enemy tries to distract me from Your truth and that one of his most effective tactics is to try to bring yesterday’s burdens into today.
You are the One who empowers me to not worry about anything, to not build a mountain of molehills, and to not get anxious about the imaginary shortcomings for my future, health, family, or work. You are the One who helps me to remove insignificant matters that assume greater importance in my life, which are totally not of You. You are the One who reminds me that anxiety covers a wide range of problems that typically result from unfounded fears. You are the One who reminds me that anxiety can occur when I forget to cope with my present life because I am preoccupied with my future life. Thank You for empowering me to remember that worries, anxieties, burdens, concerns, and addictions are of the world’s past and that You want me to move forward for Your honor and glory. Lord, remind me that I am Yours and that You are mine.

You sent me these people to help me walk on Your gracious path. At times, I feel like I can’t handle things alone. Then, all of a sudden, boom, You send someone to assist me with Your love and wisdom. I discover again how thoughtful and loving You are to send people who understand me. You send people to love me and I thank You for Your powerful and living Word of truth, “Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friendly hearty counsel,” (Proverbs 27:9). Your love lets me know that other Christians are essential to my life. Thank You, my loving God who cares. I love You so much, and I pray in Your beloved name, Jesus Christ! So be it, amen!

I truly do love You and I enjoy the wonderful peace and comfort You give me every day! I thank You and I pray in Your gentle and loving name of peace, Jesus Christ. Amen! Your servant forever.
As you may have noticed, I was still having trouble surrendering to God's power. I continued trying to fight my battles in my own strength. I found out the hard way that we are too weak, in our own strength, to be who God wants us to be. Therefore, in order to live a life that is pleasing to Him, we must receive and utilize His power. I hope that from reading about my experiences, you will choose to submit to God's power in times of trouble, rather than your own power. The battle is the Lord’s.
“...be strong in the LORD (empowered by your union with Him); draw your strength from Him (that strength which His boundless might provides).” (Ephesians 6:10, AMP)
