Welcome back

This prayer is simply my heart speaking to the Father. Yours may be different but, I thought you might be encouraged today in this way.

Father, You are Holy and Worthy to be praised. Your name is above all others and I bow humbly before You. I thank You for Your sweet mercies that are new this morning and that grace covers me in Your sufficiency.

I thank You Abba, Father for calling me through Your Son Jesus. For filling me fresh with Your Spirit. For equipping me and never leaving me alone. While surrounded by Your loving-kindness I cannot go astray. Thank You for keeping me safe and well.

You Lord have called me to ABIDE in You as a fruit bearing branch abides in the vine. John 15 tells me how this happens. Thank You for keeping me vitally united to You. Regardless of circumstances.

You have called me to DELIGHT in You. Psalm 37 tells me that all my delight can be found in You alone. That You can be my one desire where I trust in You and not fret about all the things happening in the world today. Regardless of circumstances, I give You Thanks.

Thank You that I can DWELL in You. Psalm 91 gives me the proof and the power in our fallen world, if only I dwell in Your secret place. There I remain fixed and stable under the shadow of the Almighty, Whose power no foe can withstand. Where I find Refuge? Where I find my Fortress? In dwelling with You! I trust You in confidence and lean and rely upon You O Lord! Regardless of my circumstances.

In conclusion, I will be strong in You, LORD. Empowered through my union with You. I will draw strength from You; in Your boundless might. I will put on the whole armor that is supplied. I will be able to successfully stand up against all the strategies and deceits of the devil.

I know the fight is not wrestling against flesh and blood in the physical. It is against the evil powers, the master spirits of this present darkness. Spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

So, I resist and stand my ground today and put on the full armor You have provided. The Belt of Truth tight against my body...the Breastplate of Righteousness, not of my own ability, but by being in right standing with You. My feet wear shoes, prepared and covered in firmness and stability to face the enemy and with a readiness to share the Gospel of Peace where ever I go. Your Spirit will help me lift up the shield of faith to block all the flaming missiles of the enemy. I wear the Helmet of Salvation and praise You Lord for causing my thoughts to be agreeable to Your will. I pick up the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God to cut down the enemy with strength and power of His name. Ephesians 6.

Thank You Father for this day to stand Ready, in Your Presence, by Your Power in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Bless you dear family of God. You are in my prayers. What is your prayer dear warrior?

Abundance is...He is my Matchless Warrior and I will follow Him
