Prayer to soar
Day 21 - January 22, 2022
Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31
This the year for God’s people to soar on wings like eagles.
Lord, we declare, according to Isaiah 40:31, that this will be a year of renewal. We will soar on wings like eagles. You will renew our strength and energy. We make an exchange with You, and give You our weariness and our tiredness. In exchange, we receive your strength and power. Jesus, You said, “Come unto me all of you who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28). We take off the old clothes of being weary, tired, discouraged, and worn out to receive the new clothes in our minds and hearts of fresh power, new energy, and readiness to move forward by Your grace. We choose to repent of old mindsets, and You will give us a new change of mind, that leads to a change of heart, that leads to a change of behavior. With fresh power from on high, we will see the world differently, and it will change our hearts and change what we do. We give you our sins, weaknesses, shortcomings, weariness, hurts, and pains. In exchange, we receive Your power, love, peace, forgiveness, and favor in order to live differently and make the world a better place. As we hope and wait upon You, You will enable us to soar even in the midst of struggles, challenges, and crisis. We will soar in the midst of day to day demands. We will soar, escalate, and rise above the storms of life. In your strength, we will fly like an eagle above the storms of life and glide with supernatural power. Because we are soaring, we will see things from a different and better perspective. We will see and do things we’ve never done before. We hope and trust in You for our families, careers, relationships, finances, health, ministry and everything else. You will renew us so that we may run and not be weary. We will walk and not faint. We will run the race with perseverance marked out for us as we keep our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2). We decree and declare that this is the Year to Soar! In Jesus mighty name, Amen.

Our father in Heaven
Day 19 - January 20, 2022
Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
Matthew 6:9
The Lord’s prayer found in Matthew 6:9-13 is a prayer that can change your world in 20 seconds. When we pray the Lord’s prayer, we are praying with Jesus. We will use the Lord’s prayer as a pattern or outline for prayer. Our Father in heaven…We praise and thank you that we are Your children because of Your Son Jesus who went to the cross and now we are adopted into Your family (Romans 8:15). Hallowed be Your name…we worship and exalt Your name. Your name is Victory, Healer, Provider, Righteousness, and so much more. Your name has given us authority and power over the enemy (Luke 10:19). In your name the sick are healed (Mark 16:18). Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Kingdom of God come (righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit). Will of God be done in us, our families, our church and our community. Your will is salvation, spiritual formation, and becoming more like Christ (Romans 8:29). Your will is that we are healed, whole, and prospering in all areas that we might bless others. Give us today our daily bread…give us provision and sustenance as we rely on You as our source. You are the Lord our shepherd and we lack nothing (Psalm 23:1). And forgive us our debts…forgive us of our sins, shortcomings, and faults. Thank You that if we confess our sins You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). As we also have forgiven our debtors…Lord we choose to forgive those who have offended us. Free us from the poison and bondage of bitterness (Hebrews 12:15) as we forgive others who have hurt us. As you have forgiven us, we forgive one another (Ephesians 4:32). And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. We command the devil to flee as we depend on the Holy Spirit, submit to You, and resist him with the weapons of our warfare (2 Corinthians 10:4). Thank You that we have the power of our spiritual weapons: the name of Jesus, the Word of God, and the blood of Jesus to rebuke and destroy the works of the devil. We declare that we are more than conquerors (Romans 8:37). For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen

We declare that we are blessed with abundance, success, promotion, and that everything we put our hand to will prosper this year. As Your word declares we will be above and not beneath, the head and not the tail. We are lenders not borrowers. (Deuteronomy 28) Because we tithe we live under an open heaven where you are opening the floodgates to bless us with abundance. You will bring an abundance of ideas, concepts, and insights that we may succeed and see increase in all areas of life. Supernatural favor, provision, and increase are coming to us. Blessings in abundance are looking for us as we encounter opportunities, connections, resources, and divine appointments with the right people.

We pray for healing and reconciliation in our land. Teach us to be slow to speak, slow to become angry, and quick to listen (James 1:19).

We hold up the shield of faith (v.16) as we declare that You are working on our behalf in every circumstance. Thank you that every flaming arrow of the enemy is extinguished. No weapon formed against us will prosper! We wear the helmet of salvation to protect our minds from negative thoughts and deception. We declare and remember that we are Your beloved children. You are good and have good plans for us (Jeremiah 29:11). We uphold the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, which grants us authority and dominion to live in victory and defeat the enemy! Thank You that we win and overcome with these weapons, Your Word, the name of Jesus, and the blood of Jesus! In Jesus mighty name, Amen!

Romans 1:7
God created us to be loved and accepted by Him and others. The enemy uses rejection to keep us in bondage.
Lord we come against the pain of rejection that leads to strongholds and bondage. We come against the strategy of Satan to make us isolated, bitter, angry, and full of hate. We come against the spirit of rejection from generational influences or from life events where we have been neglected or abused. We claim healing from the memories of hurtful words. Thank You Lord that You receive me (Psalm 27:10). I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14). You have raised me up with Christ to be seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 2:6). If God You are for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31) We are accepted by You God not for who we are or what we do but we are accepted because of who You are. You are good. I thank You that I am accepted by You, admired by You, and I have your full and unconditional love. We turn from every lie, known and unknown, that we have believed, that has given the spirit of rejection any power in our lives. We choose to forgive everyone who has hurt us in the past. We choose today to be a forgiving people. We are chosen and loved by You so much that You gave us Your Son. I am healed. I am loved, I am accepted by You. Therefore I am free and blessed! In Jesus mighty name! Amen.

Prayer For Acceptance
Day 10 - January 11, 2022
Jesus answered, “It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Matthew 4:4
One of the essentials of our Christian faith is to grow in the Word of God.
Jesus, when you overcame temptation from the devil You used the mighty Word of God as a powerful weapon. Lord we declare that we do not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). So we choose to feed on Your Word daily. We thank You that we have the Word of God as the sword of the Spirit to overcome the enemy and stand strong in the Lord (Ephesians 6:17). By Your Word show us Your ways, teach us Your paths (Psalm 25:4). We love Your Word and meditate on it all day long (Psalm 119:97). We choose to keep it in front of us, reflecting, thinking, and applying it to our daily life. Thank You that Your Word speaks to us and changes us. We declare we are not just hearers of the Word but doers of the Word and therefore we are free and blessed (James 1:22-25). We speak and declare Your Word over area of life including our families, our health, our finances, our careers, our church, and our community. We choose to listen to Your Word, study Your Word, share Your Word, and grow in Your Word.

We speak and declare Your Word over area of life including our families, our health, our finances, our careers, our church, and our community.
