My Morning Prayer: A Battle Proclamation

My Morning Prayer: A Battle Proclamation
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
Lord, the battle is Yours.
You are the final word in every conflict, and conquer every foe.
You can deliver with many or with few, flatten a walled stronghold or break the fetters off those who are bound.
 
You are almighty, no one is stronger; You sit upon heaven’s throne, no one is higher; You know all things, no one is wiser. You know exactly what to do —when You move no one can stop You; when you speak no one can silence You; when You use Your two-edged sword no one can disarm You.
 
I am covered in Your mercies, clothed in Your righteousness, dressed in Your armor. I gird myself with Your truth, and abide under the shelter of Your wings.

You are my dwelling place, I am at rest;
You are my hiding place, I am secure;
You are my fortress, I am safe;
You are my tower, I am sheltered;
You are my shield, I am protected.
 
Thank You, Mighty God, that the battle, the weapons, the strategy and the victory are all Yours—You are the One who will raise up a standard against the enemy when he comes in like a flood; You will not allow any weapon that is formed against me to prosper; You will put the enemy to flight—I proclaim it and believe it to be so in the name of Him who is seated at Your right hand—the One who triumphed over sin, death, and the powers of darkness—the One whose blood redeems, whose stripes heal, whose grace sustains, whose hands uphold, and whose love never fails—the King of kings, the name above all names, Jesus Christ the Lord!
 
Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. “See, all your angry enemies lie there, confused and humiliated. Anyone who opposes you will die and come to nothing. You will look in vain for those who tried to conquer you. Those who attack you will come to nothing. For I hold you by your right hand— I, the LORD your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you (Isaiah 41:10-13 NLT).

Lord, be to me-
The quiet in every stormy sea.
The possible in my impossible.
The sufficiency when I have nothing to offer.
The surety in my uncertainty.
The wholeness in my bits and pieces. 
The solid ground beneath my new pathway.
The Sonshine breaking through every cloudy day!
 
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV).

No Burden

No Burden

-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

There is no burden beyond His strength…
no boundaries to His love…
no limit to His mercies…
no problem outside His solution…
no need beyond His care.

 
I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness; for You have exalted Your name and Your word above everything (Psalm 138:2 NRSV).

My Morning Prayer: He Reduces to Increase

My Morning Prayer: He Reduces to Increase
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 
Don’t be discouraged today if you sense God’s hand doing its sanctifying work in your life. If He is trimming your wick, it is only to make your light shine brighter; if He is allowing you to be pressed within His caring hands, it is only to release the flow of the sweet wine of His Spirit.
 
Humble yourself under His mighty hand, and as you do, allow this prayer to be upon your lips: Father, work in me what I cannot work; do in me what I cannot do; be in me what I cannot be; live through me what I cannot live—for I know it is through You, and You alone, that my life will be to the praise of Your glory. Amen.

He prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more (John 15:2 NLT).

There’s plenty of ENOUGH in Jesus,
to be more than ENOUGH for you!

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10 NKJV).
