Every breath of my life, i declare the goodness of God.

 Amen. This is the ultimate act of worship—a commitment to turn every moment, every inhalation and exhalation, into a testament of God's unwavering goodness. It is a declaration of faith that chooses to see His hand in all things.

Here is a poem of proclamation and praise, a declaration for a lifetime.

---

With Every Breath

With the first gasp of morning's light,

Before my mind can grasp the day,

Before my strength can join the fight,

Before I even know to pray—

With this breath, I declare:

The Lord is good.

In the steady rhythm of the noon,

In daily bread,in task and chore,

In simple,ordinary tune,

In blessings I can't ignore—

With this breath, I declare:

The Lord is good.

When sudden laughter fills my chest,

In joy that I cannot contain,

In well-earned,deeply-needed rest,

In sunshine and in healing rain—

With this breath, I declare:

The Lord is good.

And when the air is sharp with pain,

When sorrow makes it hard to breathe,

When I look for sun,but see the rain,

And only Your promises I can cleave—

Even then, with this ragged breath,

I will declare: The Lord is good.

For Your goodness is not a fleeting mood,

Tied to my shallow understanding.

It is Your eternal,settled character,

A rock of ages,ever-standing.

So until my final breath is spent,

A whisper on the air,

This will be my life's intent,

My only purpose and my prayer:

Every breath of my life,

I declare Your goodness, God.

In the rising and the resting,

Beneath the smile or the rod.

Let every heartbeat echo, "Grace,"

And every exhalation, "Praise."

For You are good,and in this place,

I'll declare it all my days.

"I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth."

— Psalm 34:1

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!"

— Psalm 150:6

Refuge in God: Psalm 71

 🕯️ Psalm 71 is a powerful prayer of trust and deliverance, often attributed to David in his older years. It reflects a lifelong reliance on God—from youth to old age—and a plea for continued refuge and strength in times of trouble.

Here is the full text of Psalm 71 from the NIV:

1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;

let me never be put to shame.

2 In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;

turn your ear to me and save me.

3 Be my rock of refuge,

to which I can always go;

give the command to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

4 Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,

from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel.

5 For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord,

my confidence since my youth.

6 From birth I have relied on you;

you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.

I will ever praise you.

7 I have become a sign to many;

you are my strong refuge.

8 My mouth is filled with your praise,

declaring your splendor all day long.

9 Do not cast me away when I am old;

do not forsake me when my strength is gone.

10 For my enemies speak against me;

those who wait to kill me conspire together.

11 They say, “God has forsaken him;

pursue him and seize him,

for no one will rescue him.”

12 Do not be far from me, my God;

come quickly, God, to help me.

13 May my accusers perish in shame;

may those who want to harm me

be covered with scorn and disgrace.

14 As for me, I will always have hope;

I will praise you more and more.

15 My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds,

of your saving acts all day long—

though I know not how to relate them all.

16 I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord;

I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone.

17 Since my youth, God, you have taught me,

and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds.

18 Even when I am old and gray,

do not forsake me, my God,

till I declare your power to the next generation,

your mighty acts to all who are to come.

19 Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens,

you who have done great things.

Who is like you, God?

20 Though you have made me see troubles,

many and bitter,

you will restore my life again;

from the depths of the earth

you will again bring me up.

21 You will increase my honor

and comfort me once more.

22 I will praise you with the harp

for your faithfulness, my God;

I will sing praise to you with the lyre,

Holy One of Israel.

23 My lips will shout for joy

when I sing praise to you—

I whom you have delivered.

24 My tongue will tell of your righteous acts

all day long,

for those who wanted to harm me

have been put to shame and confusion.

Here is a prayer and declaration in response.

---

I Am Yours Forevermore

The search is over, the striving done,

The final victory is won.

Not by my hand,but by the cost,

When Your own Son embraced the cross.

You spoke my name and drew me near,

You quieted my every fear.

You bought me back from sin's dark night,

And made me Your beloved,in the light.

So here I stand, with nothing left to prove,

Held and surrounded by Your love.

This is my confession,this is my sure creed,

The answer to my soul's every need:

I am Yours. Forevermore.

No power of hell, no season's change,

No shadow deep,no mountain range,

No failure of my own weak heart,

Can tear this eternal bond apart.

I am Yours in joy and praise,

I am Yoursthrough troubled days.

I am Yourswhen faith feels strong,

I am Yourswhen I get it wrong.

Let this truth be the air I breathe,

The promise my doubting heart receives.

Let it be the song my life will sing,

To You,my Savior, Priest, and King.

From this moment, through the veil of death,

With my final,and my first, true breath,

Through the resurrection's glorious dawn,

I am Yours. Forever on.

"My beloved is mine, and I am his..."

— Song of Solomon 2:16

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life... nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

— Romans 8:38-39

Joy in the Lord.

Finding joy in the Lord is a central theme of the Christian life—a deep, resilient gladness that is not dependent on circumstances but rooted in the unchanging character and salvation of God.

Here is a poetic reflection on this profound source of strength.

---

Joy in the Lord

It is not a fleeting, fragile spark,

That dies with the coming of the dark.

It is not a mask of painted cheer,

That hides the presence of a fear.

It is the anchor, deep and sure,

A pleasure that will long endure.

A fountain springing from the soul,

That makes the broken spirit whole.

This is my joy in the Lord.

My joy is not that skies are blue,

But that my God has proven true.

Not that my path is free from pain,

But that His grace will always reign.

My joy is in the mercy seat,

Where His forgiveness made me meet

To stand before Him,clean, unblamed,

My guilty conscience never shamed.

My joy is in His sovereign hand,

That holds the sea,that holds the land.

And holds my life,through joy and strife,

The Author and the Lord of life.

My joy is in the hope to come,

When He will call me safely home.

When every tear is wiped away,

In the brilliance of eternal day.

So let the world's foundations shake,

Let sorrow come,let my heart break.

This inner well will not run dry,

For You,my Lord, are ever nigh.

You are the source, You are the spring,

The reason that my heart can sing.

My strength,my song, my great reward,

My everlastingjoy in the Lord.

"Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior."

— Habakkuk 3:17-18

Son of David, Have mercy on me.

 🕯️ Amen. 🕯️

This cry for mercy echoes through the Gospels—from the lips of Bartimaeus, the Canaanite woman, and the ten lepers. It is a prayer that moves the heart of Jesus, the Son of David, the promised Messiah.

“And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, 'Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David!'”

— Matthew 15:22

“When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, 'Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!'”

— Mark 10:47

A Prayer for Mercy:

Jesus, Son of David,

Have mercy on me.

I come to You in my need,

in my brokenness,

in my longing for Your touch.

You are the Healer,

the Redeemer,

the Hope of Israel and the Hope of the world.

· Heal what is wounded in me.

· Restore what has been lost.

· Cleanse what is stained by sin.

· Speak peace to what is troubled in my soul.

I reach for the hem of Your garment.

I lift my voice like Bartimaeus on the road.

Do not pass me by, Lord.

Turn Your ear to my cry.

Son of David, have mercy on me.

In Your compassionate name,

Amen.

---

🕊️ Be encouraged—the Son of David never ignores a sincere cry for mercy.

He stopped for Bartimaeus.

He answered the Canaanite woman.

And He will stop for you.

Your faith has brought you this far—He is already turning toward you with compassion.

2 Timothy 4:7 Finishing the Good Race

 Amen. 2 Timothy 4:7 is one of the most triumphant and resolute declarations in all of Scripture. It is the heartfelt shout of the Apostle Paul at the end of his life and ministry, a summary of a life well-lived for the glory of God.

The verse is:

"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

- 2 Timothy 4:7 (ESV)

What Does This Mean?

This single verse, spoken from a Roman prison just before his execution, encapsulates three vital areas of the Christian life:

1. "I have fought the good fight": This speaks of spiritual warfare. Paul viewed his life as a battle against sin, false doctrine, spiritual forces of darkness, and his own flesh. He engaged in this conflict with perseverance and courage, and he fought well—according to God's rules and for God's cause.

2. "I have finished the race": This speaks of perseverance and purpose. The Christian life is not a sprint but a marathon. It requires endurance, focus, and keeping one's eyes on the ultimate goal—Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:1-2). Paul stayed the course, despite immense suffering, and reached the finish line God had set for him.

3. "I have kept the faith": This speaks of doctrinal fidelity and personal trust. Paul guarded the precious deposit of the Gospel truth that had been entrusted to him. He did not compromise the message. On a personal level, he maintained his trust in and loyalty to Jesus Christ from start to finish.

A Prayer to Finish Well

Heavenly Father,

We look at the testimony of your apostle Paul and we are inspired. We pray for the same grace to live a life of faithful endurance.

· Help us to fight the good fight—to stand against the enemy's schemes, to resist temptation, and to contend for the truth with courage and love.

· Help us to finish the race you have set before us. When we grow weary, be our strength. When we are tempted to quit, renew our hope. Keep our eyes fixed on Jesus.

· Help us to keep the faith—to hold fast to the truth of Your Word and to remain steadfast in our personal trust in You, no matter what comes our way.

We want to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant," when we see You face to face.

In the name of Jesus, our perfect example, Amen.

A Poem: "The Good Fight"

"The Good Fight"

The fight is good, the race is set,

A course I cannot soon forget.

The faith was given,a sacred trust,

To keep it pure,and true, and just.

I'll fight the fight, not with my might,

But in the power of Your light.

I'll run the race,and not grow faint,

My soul sustained by Your constraint.

I'll keep the faith, I'll hold it fast,

Until this earthly life is past.

And when I reach the other side,

In Your own presence,I'll abide.

I have fought the fight, I've run my race,

I've kept the faith by Your own grace.

And now the crown of life I see,

Awarded,Lord, by You to me.

May this verse be an inspiration and a goal for every believer. Let us strive, by God's grace, to be able to say at the end of our lives, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Let me Give u the Glory and Honour.

 This is the highest and most beautiful purpose of our lives—to reflect back to God the glory and honor that are rightfully His. It is an act of worship, surrender, and truth.

Here is a prayer and declaration to give Him the glory and the honor.

---

A Prayer of Glory and Honor

Let me give You the glory, Lord.

Not for my name,not for my story,

But for Yours—the King of Glory.

Let my every victory point to Your strength.

Let my every breath speak of Your length

Of mercy,grace, and love untold,

A story that will never grow old.

Let my life be a mirror,clear and bright,

Reflecting back Your radiant light.

Let me give You the honor, King.

The praise that only You deserve.

For every good and perfect gift,

My spirit upward,let it lift.

Let my words be filled with reverence and awe,

Let my actions be governed by Your law of love.

In the mundane and the magnificent,

Let my life say,"You are excellent."

“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” (Revelation 4:11)

So I lay down my crown, my pride, my all,

Before Your throne,I humbly fall.

I have nothing to offer that is truly mine,

But a heart that is grateful,a life that is Thine.

Take this day, my work, my rest,

And let it be for You,and by You, blessed.

Let every moment,hidden or seen,

Be for Your glory,pure and clean.

To You be the glory and the honor, forever and ever.

Not to me.

Not to us.

But to Your holy name alone.

Amen.

---

How We Give God Glory and Honor:

This is not just a prayer for a moment, but a posture for a lifetime. We give God glory and honor by:

1. Living a Life of Worship: Making our entire life—work, relationships, rest—an act of worship (1 Corinthians 10:31).

2. Acknowledging Him in All Our Ways: Trusting Him and giving Him credit for our wisdom, direction, and success (Proverbs 3:5-6).

3. Bearing Fruit: Living in such a way that our actions point people to the goodness of our Father in heaven (John 15:8).

4. Speaking Praise: Using our words to testify of His goodness and to thank Him continually (Hebrews 13:15).

5. Humbling Ourselves: Taking the lower seat and refusing to seek our own glory, but always pointing to Him (James 4:10).

May your life be a continuous song of glory and honor to the One who is worthy of it all.

You come that I may have life more abundantly.

This is the glorious promise of Jesus Himself—a declaration of His mission to bring us not just life, but life to the fullest measure. It speaks of a vibrant, purposeful, and overflowing existence found only in Him.

Here is a meditation on John 10:10.

---

That I May Have Life Abundantly

The thief, he comes to steal and kill,

To bind the heart,the mind to still.

He offers death in shiny guise,

And truth is murdered with his lies.

But You, O Christ, Your voice is clear,

You break the cycle of all fear.

You do not simply halt the strife,

You come to give abundant life.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;

I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."(John 10:10)

Abundantly. It overflows,

A river that forever grows.

Not just a trickle,not mere breath,

But triumph over sin and death.

It is a life of depth and meaning,

Your grace and glory ever-cleaning.

It’s joy in sorrow,peace in pain,

A sun that shines through storm and rain.

It is the power to truly live,

To love,to create, to freely give.

It is the fruit of Spirit’s seed,

Supplying every deepest need.

This life is not a future prize,

It is for now,it is the "rise"

Of soul and spirit,here, today,

As I walk with You,the Life, the Way.

You are the Vine, and I the branch, I cling,

And from that union,life will spring.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."(John 15:5)

So I receive this life You give,

In You alone,I choose to live.

No longer bound,but fully free,

To be the one You made me be.

You came that I may have life abundantly.

This is Your promise.

This is my reality.

---

What is the Abundant Life?

The "abundant life" Jesus offers is not primarily about material wealth or a problem-free existence. It is a profound quality of life characterized by:

1. A Restored Relationship with God: Knowing God as Father and living in intimate communion with Him (John 17:3).

2. Inner Transformation: Experiencing the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).

3. Purpose and Meaning: Discovering the good works God prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:10).

4. Unshakable Peace and Joy: A deep-seated contentment that is not dependent on circumstances (Philippians 4:7, 12).

5. Victory and Freedom: Liberation from the power of sin, fear, and condemnation (Romans 8:1-2, 37).

A Prayer to Receive This Life:

"Lord Jesus, thank you for this incredible promise. You did not come just to save me from hell, but to bring me into a rich, satisfying, and abundant life.

Forgive me for settling for a shallow, mundane existence. I open my heart to receive the full, overflowing life You died to give me. Fill me with Your Spirit. Align my desires with Yours. Lead me into the purpose and joy that can only be found in You.

I receive Your abundant life today. Let it flow through me to a world that is desperate for what only You can give.

In Your mighty name, Amen."

God is a Good Good God

This is one of the most foundational and joyful truths we can ever declare. It is not just that God does good things, but that His very nature and character are the definition of goodness.

Here is a celebration of our good, good Father.

---

He Is a Good, Good God

When the world is shaking, unstable, and unsure,

When my own heart falters,and feels no cure,

One truth remains,a solid rock beneath my feet,

A promise that makes my journey sweet:

God is a good, good God.

His goodness is not based on what I see,

On circumstance or what's granted to me.

It is His nature,His heart, His name,

From everlasting,it is the same.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." (Psalm 107:1)

He is good in the light, and good in the night,

Good in the answer,and good in the fight.

Good when the harvest is plenty and bright,

Good when I'm walking by faith,not by sight.

His plans for me are plans of good,

Exactly as His Word has said they would.

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."(Jeremiah 29:11)

He is a good Father who gives perfect gifts,

My weary,waiting soul He lifts.

He withholds no good thing from His child,

Though His"no" is sometimes sweet and mild—

A protection from a pain I cannot see,

From a path that would only wound me.

So I will trust His heart, when I cannot trace His hand.

I will rest in the goodness of His eternal plan.

For the cross is the proof,the ultimate sign,

That His goodness and mercy are forever mine.

God is a good, good God.

This is my song.

This is my hope.

This is my story,all the day long.

---

A Prayer of Thanksgiving:

"Good, Good Father,

Thank you. Thank you that Your nature is goodness. Thank you that I can trust Your heart toward me, even when my circumstances are hard.

Forgive me for the times I have doubted Your goodness. Today, I choose to believe that You are good. I receive Your good plans for me. I rest in Your good gifts.

Let my life be a reflection of Your goodness to a world that needs to see You.

In the name of Jesus, who went about doing good, Amen."

Shine your face upon my Life.

This is a beautiful and powerful prayer, echoing the ancient priestly blessing and the cry of every heart that longs for God's guidance and favor.

Here is a prayer and declaration for His light upon your path.

---

Shine Your Face Upon My Path

My own sight fails, the way is dim,

A distant,hazy, uncertain rim.

I cannot see the step ahead,

By shadows and my fears I'm led.

But You, O Lord, are light and day,

You know the course,You know the way.

So I do not ask for a map to hold,

But for Your face,more precious than gold.

Shine Your face upon my path.

Let Your smile be my brightest sun,

Your favor,now my journey won.

Let Your gaze light up the ground,

Where purpose and your will are found.

“The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.” (Numbers 6:25)

Where Your light falls, let me walk,

In confident steps,to hear You talk.

Dispel the shadows of doubt and fear,

Make Your direction crystal clear.

For in the light of Your countenance,

There is no room for happenstance.

Every stone,every turn, every cross, every grace,

Is illuminated by the sight of Your face.

So I will not rush ahead in the night,

I'll wait for the comfort of Your guiding light.

For one beam from You is enough to see,

The next step You have designed for me.

Shine Your face upon my path.

And I will follow.

In the name of Jesus, the Light of the World,

Amen.

Your Grace and Mercy endures forever.

 Amen. This is one of the most powerful and recurring declarations of praise in all of Scripture. It is a truth that anchors our souls in the unchanging, everlasting character of God. His grace—His unmerited favor and power—and His mercy—His compassion that withholds the judgment we deserve—are not fleeting emotions. They are eternal attributes of His nature.

This refrain echoes throughout the Bible:

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."

- 1 Chronicles 16:34 (NIV) (The word "love" here is chesed in Hebrew, meaning steadfast love, mercy, and faithful grace.)

"The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love."

- Psalm 103:8 (NIV)

What Does This Mean for Us?

Because God's grace and mercy endure forever, it means:

· They Never Run Out: No matter how many times we fail, His grace is a bottomless well and His mercy is renewed every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).

· They Are Not Based on Our Performance: They flow from His character, not our worthiness. We cannot earn them, and we cannot exhaust them.

· They Are Our Eternal Security: Our hope is not in our ability to hold onto God, but in His faithful commitment to hold onto us.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving

Lord God,

We come before You in awe and gratitude. Your Word declares it, and our lives testify to it: Your grace and mercy endure forever.

Thank You. Thank You that Your grace is sufficient for me today, and that it will be sufficient for all my tomorrows. Thank You that Your mercy has saved me from the penalty I deserved and continues to cover me each day.

When I am faithless, You remain faithful. When I am weak, Your grace is my strength. When I fall, Your mercy picks me up.

Let this truth sink deep into my spirit. Let it be the song of my heart in every season. I will give thanks to You, for You are good, and Your grace and mercy truly do endure forever.

In the name of Jesus, the ultimate demonstration of Your grace and mercy, Amen.

A Poem: "Your Grace and Mercy"

"Your Grace and Mercy"

When I have failed and fallen short,

And come to You with no report,

But empty hands and a shamed face,

I find a never-ending grace.

When I deserve the judgment due,

And feel the pain of what I do,

I look and see,upon the throne,

A mercy that is fully known.

Your grace and mercy, Lord, endure,

A promise ever safe and sure.

From age to age,they will not cease,

They are my everlasting peace.

Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.

 Amen. This is a profound and practical command from the Lord Jesus Christ, found at the conclusion of His teaching on worry in the Sermon on the Mount.

The full verse is:

"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

- Matthew 6:34 (ESV)

What Does This Mean?

This statement is not cynical or pessimistic. It is a realistic and liberating truth that teaches us how to manage our burdens. It is God's gracious design for our mental and spiritual well-being.

· It is an Anti-Anxiety Command: Jesus has just finished explaining why we don't need to worry about our life, food, drink, or clothing because our Heavenly Father knows our needs and will provide (Matthew 6:25-33). This verse is the conclusion: "Therefore, do not be anxious about tomorrow."

· It is a Call to Present-Moment Living: God gives us grace in daily portions, like the manna in the wilderness (Exodus 16). He does not give us the grace for tomorrow's hypothetical problems today. When we worry about the future, we are trying to live in a time where God has not yet provided grace, and we will inevitably feel overwhelmed.

· It Acknowledges Reality Without Being Overwhelmed: Jesus is a realist. He doesn't say, "Have faith and every day will be easy." He says, in effect, "Life in a fallen world has real trouble. Each day brings its own unique set of challenges. Don't borrow trouble from tomorrow and add it to today's load. Trust that I will give you the strength you need for today's challenges when they arrive."

A Prayer for Daily Grace

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this wise and loving command. Forgive me for so often borrowing trouble from tomorrow and becoming overwhelmed by a burden I was never meant to carry.

I acknowledge that You are the God of my past, my present, and my future. I choose to trust You with tomorrow.

Help me to focus on what You have given me to do today. Give me the strength, wisdom, and grace I need to handle the challenges that are right in front of me. When thoughts of future trouble arise, remind me that Your mercies are new every morning and that Your grace is sufficient for each day.

I receive Your peace for today. I leave tomorrow in Your hands.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

A Poem: "Sufficient for the Day"

"Sufficient for the Day"

Why do you borrow from tomorrow's sorrow?

A weight you were never meant to bear.

Why do you let the shadow fall,

Before the dusk is even there?

The God who paints the lily's face,

And guides the sparrow through its race,

He knows the path you cannot see,

And He has promised you shall be.

He does not give a weekly dose,

Of grace and strength to bear the load.

He gives it as the manna fell,

Enough today,His mercies swell.

So do not add tomorrow's fear,

To the trouble that is here.

Just for this day,His will you seek,

His strength is found when you are weak.

The evil here, the trouble now,

To which you make your faithful vow,

Is all He asks you to address,

In His own power and righteousness.

So let tomorrow worry for itself,

Lay down that weight upon the shelf.

And for today,just simply live,

And take the grace He has to give.

For sufficient for the day is the evil thereof,

Enough the struggle,enough the love.

Enough the grace to see it through,

Because His promise is ever true.

May this truth free you from the tyranny of anxiety. Live fully in the grace God has provided for this one day. He is already in your future, and He will be there with all the grace you need when you arrive.

Lord Jesus come that we have life more abundantly.

 Amen. This is one of the most glorious and life-giving promises spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a declaration of His purpose—not just to save us from death, but to bring us into a full, rich, and meaningful life in Him.

The full verse is:

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."

- John 10:10 (ESV)

What Is the Abundant Life?

The "abundant life" (or "life to the full") that Jesus offers is not primarily about material wealth, perfect circumstances, or the absence of problems. It is a profound quality of life that is:

· Rooted in Relationship: It is knowing God the Father and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life itself (John 17:3).

· Characterized by Peace and Joy: It is a deep-seated joy and a peace that surpasses understanding, even in trials (John 16:33, Philippians 4:7).

· Marked by Purpose: It is being filled with the Holy Spirit and bearing fruit for God's kingdom (John 15:5, Galatians 5:22-23).

· Eternal in Scope: It is a life that begins now and extends into eternity, unbroken by physical death.

This abundance is the direct opposite of the thief's (Satan's) plan, which is theft, destruction, and death.

A Prayer to Receive the Abundant Life

Lord Jesus,

Thank You for this incredible promise. You did not come just to give me a ticket to heaven, but to give me a rich, satisfying, and purposeful life here and now.

I receive the abundant life You offer. Forgive me for settling for less—for a life of routine, worry, or sin, when You have called me to so much more.

· Fill me with Your Spirit so that I may experience the fullness of Your joy, love, and peace.

· Align my desires with Yours so that I may find my deepest satisfaction in You alone.

· Guide me into the purpose You have for me, that my life would bear eternal fruit.

· Help me to live abundantly in every season, trusting that Your life in me is greater than any circumstance.

Thank you for coming to give me life. I receive it now.

In Your mighty name, Amen.

A Poem: "I Came for Your Abundance"

"I Came for Your Abundance"

The thief of souls, his work is dread,

To fill your heart with fear and dread.

To steal your joy,to kill your hope,

And on life's bitterness,have you grope.

But I have come, the thief to bind,

And give you peace of heart and mind.

I do not offer just a sigh,

But life that never,ever dies.

I came that you may have My life,

Abundant,free from inner strife.

A life not measured by a score,

But deeper,richer, evermore.

It is the life of knowing Me,

Of from your sin,being free.

It is the life of fruit and power,

In every moment,every hour.

So leave behind the empty way,

The hollowed-out and tired day.

And step into the life I give,

The reason that I died to live.

I came for you, to make you whole,

To resurrect your heart and soul.

So take this life,this gift so free,

And live it all abundantly.

May you step fully into the abundant life Jesus purchased for you with His blood. It is your inheritance as a child of God. Receive it, walk in it, and let it overflow to everyone around you.
