Our Heavenly Prize

I am thankful for this day and all its divine opportunities!

I am thankful I am not alone. I am perfectly content, peaceful, full of God, and praying for more.

Never put limits on God. All things are possible with Him (Matthew 19:26, ESV).

I am thankful for my family and friends who shower me with encouragement, support, and love every day.

I am thankful for my relationship with Jesus Christ: His death, burial, and resurrection.

I am thankful that I am seated in the heavenly places with Him (Eph. 2:6).

I am thankful for the inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16) and for the wisdom and understanding He gives me throughout His pages.

I am thankful for the Holy Spirit: His guidance, protection, growth, power, and for His intercessory prayers and I pray for a constant filling of His Holy Presence so that I am bursting forth with the Fruit of the Spirit so that I can bring honor, praise, and Glory to His Holy Name, for all to see and have.

I am supernaturally equipped, prepared, and empowered to successfully serve God and people. “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).

I am thankful that I am blessed to do this for and with God, not for reward, but because of my love for Him; His Will, Plan, and Purpose! I possess great relief in knowing that it is God who is Sovereign! Elohim: God of gods and Lord of lords, Creator and Sustainer, Judge, Majesty, Awesome, Mighty, and Great (Deuteronomy 10:17)!

I am thankful for the blood of Jesus: my Redemption, Salvation, Sanctification, Righteousness, and Eternal Glory.

I am thankful, that one day, I will be to the likeness of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

I am thankful for healing, discernment, freedom, and spiritual growth.

I am thankful that I am no longer captured by my own self needs but rather captured by God, for His use in this world.

I am thankful God hears my prayers and He answers from His Holy Hill (Psalm 99:9).

I am blessed beyond measure and there is nothing I need more than Jesus. He supplies endlessly all that I need.

“But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble” (Matthew 6:33-34).

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me” (Psalm 51:10-11).

LORD, help me understand Scripture, open my mind and heart to your Holy Wisdom, bless me with the vision to comprehend so that I may be a blessing to all those whom you put before me. Let all see how alive and well you are in this world by shining your light in and through me. Soli Deo Gloria!!

Father, what do you have to say to me today?

As I sit in my new quiet space, tell me the secret thoughts of your heart. Is that even possible? I surely am praying for this type of intimacy! I sit in worship, praise, prayer, and thanksgiving, waiting patiently on your next move.

My soul is joyful, peaceful, and lovely because of you. I am, indeed, brand-new!! Your Almighty Hand has and is doing wonderful works in my heart. I shall not be shaken because I am firmly planted on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:24-27). This Holy Ground is where miracles take place. It is only Your love that is powerful, captivating, intoxicating, and lasting unlike the things in this world.

Thank you, LORD, you are “boundless, infinite, self-existent and absolute; everything else is contingent and relative. There is nothing very big and nothing very wise and nothing very wonderful. It’s all relatively so. It is only God who knows no degrees” (A.W. Tozer, The Attributes of God: A Journey Into the Father’s Heart, Volume 1).

And this all started and came to be by your love, mercy, and grace and my prayer is for this entire world to seek, know, and worship you so that this world would be peaceful and only existent because on your true love.

Thank you, Father, for the taste of Heaven that I do receive as I meet with you throughout the day, I peer through spiritual lenses as I go about my daily tasks, and the difference you make is invaluable. I look forward to more and more of You!

I write this all in the Mighty Name of Jesus, Amen!!
