Speak Life to my Life.

 Speak Life to My Life

A Reflection on John 6:63, Proverbs 18:21, and Ezekiel 37:4-5

Speak life to my life, Lord—not a whisper, not a sigh,

But the living, breathing word that lifts my spirit to the sky.

Let Your voice command the morning, let Your voice command the night,

And let the words You speak to me be filled with hope and light.

The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. (John 6:63, NIV)

Speak life over my mind—where anxious thoughts have taken hold.

Let Your truth dispel the lies, let Your courage make me bold.

No more fear of failure, no more dread of what may be.

Speak, Lord, and let my thinking be renewed and set me free.

Speak life over my heart—where wounds have left their mark.

Let Your healing flow like rivers through the chambers of the dark.

Where bitterness has lodged a root, uproot it by Your word.

Let love and joy and peace arise, and let my heart be stirred.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21)

Speak life over my body—every cell, every bone.

Let the resurrection power of Christ now claim me as Your own.

Speak to the sickness, to the pain, to the weariness and strain.

Let Your word be my medicine, my healing, my refrain.

Speak life over my future—the unknown, the yet-to-be.

Let Your promise be my compass, Your purpose set me free.

For You have plans to prosper me, not to harm or bring me low.

Speak life, and let my destiny in Your direction flow.

Then He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!’” (Ezekiel 37:4)

So I receive Your spoken word—it is spirit, it is life.

It calms the storm, it heals the wound, it ends the inner strife.

Speak life to my life, O Lord. I will not be afraid.

For the word You speak is living, and on that word, I am made.

Amen.
