Rejoice Always Prayer

“Heavenly Father,

In this moment, I focus on you, not my burdens, issues or problems to solve.

I Praise The author of the Universe! The One who parted the Sea, turned Water into wine and wields the power to shift every circumstance I place into His hands.

I focus on The Truth.

Jesus, You became shame so I could live unshackled by the weight of condemnation.

You loved me first so I could be empowered by your spirit to bestow the same grace.

Remove the veil of self-pity, comparison, envy, jealousy, bitterness and hatred.

Today, I refuse the darkness.

Give me the continual awareness that you are with me, but I am always given the choice to be with you.

Help me to choose you above all my insecurities, worries, fears, discouragement, hopelessness and confusion.

In exchange, bless me with your peace, presence, clarity, wisdom and direction.

I give you my emotions, thoughts, past, relationships and circumstances as I choose to anchor myself in you and you alone.

Lord, thank you for loving me when everyone left. For seeing my potential and focusing on that.

For showing up in little and big ways; on my worst and best days.

Help me to be fully dependent and break me of my self-sufficiency.

Empower me to submit to The Holy Spirit who will supply all I need, not only survive but thrive despite it all.

You are worthy of my trust, my best, and all that I have. May I never take your sacrifice for granted by making my life all about me.

Baptize me afresh as I lay down my will, my future and my life for The One who poured out everything just for me.

In Jesus’ name, you are worthy of all I am, Amen.”
