The Sword

Look carefully then how you walk not as unwise by as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the spirit, addressing one another in palms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, going thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 5:5-20)

Prayer

Lord please help me to make the best use of my time. I pray you will fill me with the Holy Spirit so I am overflowing. I pray my sole will be burdend with your purposes and direction, so much so that my feet run to your will. Let my light shine so those around me want to run to you.

Confession

I confess that the Lord has given me the Holy Spirit, with the Spirits help I can discern my path and make the best use of my time. When I am unsure of the big steps God want me to make I will choose to obey God in the small things. Being: when I am feeling depleted choosing to come to christ for replenishment not outside sources, by giving thanks in all circumstances, and by addressing those around my with a joyful heart and praise.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:5-6

Confession

I confess that the Lord has given me wisdom in how to raise my children. I can trust that his plans for them are good and that where I fall short he will be there.

Verses Jeremiah 29:11,

The Value of Wisdom

My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, if you seek it like silver and search for it as hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk in integrity, guiding the paths of justice and watching over the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path; for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul; discretion will watch over you, understand guard you. Proverbs 2:1-11

Verses: Proverbs 16:16, Isaiah 55:9 Jeremiah 29:13, Proverbs 3:3-18,

Confession

I confess that God has blotted out my transgressions for his sake. That it is not by my works, but by the grace of God that my salvation is given and my sonship I granted. I confess that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus and I am in christ by the grace of God and the acceptance of Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I know that Satan wants to keep me from God, and one way he tries to do that is though bringing up things I have done. I am choosing to set my mind on God and remember that there is no condimnation for those in christ. If I feel condemnation I can be assured that that is not from the sprit of God. I am choosing to focus on the grace of God that is made perfected in my weakness.

Prayer

Heavenly Father thank you for not giving up on me. Thank you for reminding me that you blot out my transgressions for your sake. Thank you for your stedfast love and kindness.

My Prayer

Lord I ask you to open my ears to hear as those who are taught by you so I can sustain with a word those who are weary. That I may be a light in their darkness; a guiding light to your Joy and Peace that surpasses all understanding.

My Confession

I confess that the Spirit of the living God resides in me. As a result I can be assured that he will open my ears to hear. I will not be rebellious I will not turn backwards. God will give me a tongue as those who are taught so I may sustain those who are weary. I do not need to be anxious about what to say, but the Holy Spirit will teach me in the very hour what I ought to say.

Verses

Isaiah 50:4-5 Proverbs 13:7 Luke 12:11-12 Philippians 4:7

First draft: I declare I am a child of the one true living God. That Jesus Christ is my lord and savior and through his sacrifice I can approach the living God with full assurance of his acceptance and love for me. I declare that through my weakness Gods Grace is perfected. I declare that I do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. I will not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of my mind through Gods word.

My mission is to live a life of genuineness and integrity. To be a good steward of my time and resources. To raise happy healthy children who know their identity in Christ, know and pursue their God given gifts. I intend to teach as Jesus taught, be the light in the darkness, and first seek the kingdoms of God in all I do.
