TRUE DELIGHT

What delight comes to the one who follows God’s ways!

PSALM 1:1 TPT

Father of wisdom, I don’t want to ever lose sight of the joy that is found in your presence. Surround me with your Spirit and fill my heart with your peace that passes understanding. Though I find delight in many areas of my life, not one is as sweet as the delight I find in your affection.

As I follow you on the path of your loving kindness, throwing aside my judgments and worries, I trust that your joyful peace will be my portion. Thank you for loving me so wholly. I delight in you freely because of your unfailing mercy.

I declare that as I go about my day, I will choose to walk in the wisdom of God’s ways. As I choose mercy over judgment and kindness over shutting down in offense, I will find greater freedom in your love. Instead of preserving myself and my own preferences, I will choose to consider the effects my actions have on those around me. By God’s grace, I will live more openly, with compassion as my motivation.

NEVER-ENDING MERCY

He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:10 ESV

Great God, you are my deliverer. You are the one I put my hope in when every other hopeful possibility has dissipated. You are the strength I desperately need when I am too weak to stand on my own. When the world around me is chaotic and feels as if it’s closing in on me, you are my only hope.

I long for your confident peace to surround me and flood my senses. Deliver me, Lord! Free me from my fears and rescue me from crippling anxiety. I cling to you; I trust in you. Come, Lord, once again.

Just as you have already done for others, I declare that your love will surround and meet me in the midst of my messiest circumstances. You are the deliverer, and you will never change. I declare that my heart can trust in you completely, for you have done great things. You are not finished working your mercy.

UNSHAKEABLE FAITH

If your faith remains strong, even while surrounded by life’s difficulties, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God! True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every lover of God!

JAMES 1:12 TPT

Jesus, I put my faith completely in your character and in your unending mercy. I don’t need all the answers to trust you. Strong faith is built upon the foundation of your goodness, not my own, and I am so thankful for that. There is nothing I could do to convince you to love me more; you already love me through and through.

I build my hope around your nature, and I give you access to my heart. I lay down my worries and my cares, and I stand upon your Word. Even as life’s challenges continue, I will keep believing that you are good, you are faithful, and you are true.

I declare that even when difficulties surround me the goodness of the Lord never falters. I put my faith in the Creator of all things, and I stand upon the truth of his unending mercy. As I go about my day, I will see the power of his Spirit at work in my life, bringing fruit of patience, peace, and joy even when that shouldn’t naturally be the case. The Lord is my victory.

RESCUED

He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son.

COLOSSIANS 1:13 NLT

King of kings, there is no way I can begin to adequately thank you for your incredible kindness toward me. Thank you for rescuing me from the darkness I was once in and bringing me into your glorious light. Here, I have found a home in your peace, and I have come alive in your life-giving love.

Thank you for the freedom I have in you. Nothing that can overpower the strength of your mercy! You have given me space to run, to breathe deeply, and to heal. Thank you for calling me your own.

Today in the light of this moment, I declare that the freedom I knew at first in Christ is the same powerful freedom I have right here and now. In the power of Christ, I am free to live in his love. There is nothing that can separate me from his powerful mercy, and no one can take his love away from me. I have been delivered from fear’s threats, and I belong to the King of kings.

UNCHANGEABLE GOD

Every good action and every perfect gift is from God. These good gifts come down from the Creator of the sun, moon, and stars, who does not change like their shifting shadows.

JAMES 1:17 NCV

Unchangeable One, when I see how the sun reflects off a mountainside as it sets, when I feel the breeze of the ocean on my face and hear the sound of its crashing waves, I can’t help but be in awe of your workmanship. You, the God who created wildflowers and shooting stars, are the same God who cares for me.

Thank you for the perfect gifts of your goodness in my life. Give me eyes to see the beauty of the mundane, for I know that you are as present in my dullest moments as you are in the most exhilarating. I love you!

As I go about my day, I declare that my eyes will be open to the gifts of God’s goodness all around me. I will not miss a detail of the perfection that is already present in my life and that rises to meet me. I will walk in this world filled with compassion and curiosity, and I will grow in my capacity for wonder and awe as I notice God’s fingerprints in creation.

EVERLASTING HOPE

The hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time.

TITUS 1:2 NIV

Lord, I believe that you are the way, the truth, and the life. I trust that what you said is true and that you will do it. You are unchanging in loyal love to all you have made, and I am included in that.

Thank you for the promise of your kingdom and the unshakeable hope of everlasting life in the living light of your presence. Encourage my heart by your Spirit today and fill me with the confidence of your presence. You are my hope, and I cling to you.

I declare that no matter what I’m facing today, no matter what I’m going through, God is the same powerful, good, loving, saving God that he has always been. I have no need to fear, for the hope of his coming kingdom is my foundation and will not be shaken. No matter how many days I have in this one short life, there is more to look forward to in the next.

IN CHRIST

The yes to all of God’s promises is in Christ, and through Christ we say yes to the glory of God.

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 NCV

Lord Jesus, in you I find the fullness of God’s heart of love. You who spent time with the outcasts, who dined with tax collectors, and who wandered from town to town sharing the love of the Father, you are the one I look to today. I’m so grateful that you are not easily offended.

I am drawn to your love, and I am pierced by your truth. Thank you for showing us what the Father’s heart looks like. You are the way, the truth, and the life.

I declare that in your love I am made whole. You are my freedom, my peace, and my joy. There is no one else who loves me so completely, who lifts me up when I am beaten down by life, or who consistently stays by my side. I declare that every good and perfect gift is from you. You are my greatest treasure.

DIVINE CLUES

Ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

ROMANS 1:20 NLT

Creator, I see your workmanship in the intricacy of the world around me. There is so much beauty in the construction of snowflakes, and wonder rises within my heart when I watch the light and colors change in a beautiful sunset.

As I marvel at creation, my heart grows in its desire to know you more. Reveal your loving kindness to me in fresh ways as I look to you today. Fill me with awe and wonder as you expand my understanding of your great kindness. I long to know you more.

Even as the stars shine bright in the velvet blanket of the sky, I declare that your light shines brighter in me. I am a reflection of your life-giving mercy, and it glows brighter than the sun. As I look at the world around me, I will not miss the beauty of your character and creativity.

ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES

When troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.

JAMES 1:2-3 NLT

Great God, thank you for the opportunity to reframe my experiences in the light of your great love. No trouble is...
