We live in boxes with people who don't want to get out and if we dare to try to get out and breath we will lose those people, so we stay and suffocate what God intended for us to be to appease what they are afraid you will become. This fact is surprising but look at yourself, you are a living, breathing, spirit who was ordained by God to exist in this time and from all that has tried to break you, stop you, suffocate you, halt you, pull you down-the fact is you too matter!! Your journey matters, your purpose matters, your feelings matter, your life matters, and you must consider that if you are devalued by anything that does not value you as God values you-you must get brave enough, bold enough to say, 'I MATTER TOO!'
Come Clean-
Tilisha Alexander Bryant
This is the day that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it. I start every day with God by speaking life, health, strength, and vitality into my body because I know God's healing power is at work within me. The nature and life of God are resident in my body, driving out all manner of sickness and disease. I am strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. I believe the Word of God above anything that I think feel, or see. His Word says that I have been redeemed from the curse of sickness. His Word says that by Jesus' stripes I am healed.
My body is free from pain, sickness, and disease. It operates effectively and efficiently-free from malfunction of any kind. Every part of my body is functioning properly. Every organ, gland, and system is operating in conjunction with each other in perfect harmony, which s exactly how God designed my body to work. My immune system is strong, vibrant, and healthy. Germs, bacteria, viruses, and parasites cannot exist in my body. If any of these sicknesses or disease makes any attempt to try to attack my body, then it is quickly destroyed by the power of God's Word working in me. I start every day with the Lord by boldly declaring that I am healed, healthy, and whole.
Start the Day with God-
Scripture Confessions for Healing
A satisfying prayer life elevates and purifies every act of body and mind and integrates the entire personality into a single spiritual unit. In the long pull we pray only as well as we live.
The Pursuit of God-
A.W. Tozer
God, I can empathize with the Samaritan woman. At times I have felt like an outcast, as though nobody cares about me. I have wondered what I am worth.
But Father, from your Son, Jesus, comes living water. True satisfaction. True belonging. You quench my thirst for love and acceptance. You tell me that you are enough for me. All my desires are met in you.
Give me living water today. May your grace and mercy wash over me. Fill the holes that are in my heart with your love. When I thirst, may it be for you. When I hunger, may it be for you.
Thank you for including me in your promises. I know I am not worthy, but Christ is. When you look at me, you see him. Thank you for the promise of living water. With it, I will never be thirsty again. Amen.
Praying the Promises-
Max Lucado
It doesn't matter how good something looks, how happy it makes you, how much fun it is, how rich and successful you'll become, how deeply spiritual it appears, how sensible it seems, how popular or accepted it is--and the list goes on and on. If something is contrary to the wisdom (or Word) of God, it will ultimately be detrimental and bring sorrow to your life.
Good or God?-
John Bevere
I commit to live a Jesus-centered life before my family and friends. I am disciplined to focus on the priorities in my life. I can manage the time that You have given me to further Your kingdom. May I be aware of the needs of my family and friends. I have God's wisdom and power helping me as I make these decisions.
Because You first loved me, I am loving, caring, and compassionate toward others. I am calm during times of stress and do not become easily frustrated or lose my temper. If I have sinned against You, I am quick to repent because my heart desires connection and relationship with You. Your Spirit leads me to live a life filled with patience, kindness, and humility. I choose to love at all times and I will provide encouragement and support to those who need it.
I will be sensitive to the nudge of the Holy Spirit and quick to obey His leading. God's presence and peace adorn my life like a beautiful robe. God's grace and favor are crowns upon my head. His goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to try something different and wanting more, but you should always remain true to yourself.
Stop looking everywhere else for acceptance instead of accepting the qualities [you] already possess.
The Extraordinary Loyalty Charm and the Knight's Warrior-
Sherry D Lewis
My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong. I will go in the strength of the gospel of Christ...is the power of God to salvation.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
The joy of the Lord is your strength. Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy.
Daily Light,
Samuel Bagster
Satan tempted Jesus to devise a human plan to provide His own food by turning stones into bread. Jesus could have used His divine power to turn stones into steak if He wanted, but He did not. Why not? Jesus was God-driven, not need-driven. God had led Him into the wilderness and told Him to fast. Jesus was comfortable with waiting on God to provide food rather than jumping ahead of God and meeting His own needs. Jesus has a one-point plan: do what God says and wait on Him!

Thank You for providing everything I needed to get through this day. Please forgive me for the ways I failed You today. Thank You that Your forgiveness is complete and Your mercies are new every morning. I look forward to a fresh chance to live for You tomorrow. In Jesus' name, Amen.

God created every person to do a special thing that He needs done on earth; and if a particular person fails to do that one thing, then it will never be done exactly the way God intended. God will still accomplish His will, but the individual will miss out on the opportunity to play a unique and important role in that activity.
The Power of a Half Hour
-Tommy Barnett
Lord, I recognize that I need to be filled with Your Holy Spirit. I repent of my sins of not caring and sharing with others as I should. I request that You fill me with Your Holy Spirit also that I have Your love, power, and compassion for a lost world. I receive Your filling and go gladly to tell the world that Jesus loves them. Amen.

-Maurice L Simmons
Pastor of Mary Goulah Baptist Church
Lord, thank You for walking beside me throughout this day. Please forgive me for any attitude and/or behaviors that did not reflect a crucified life. Renew my passion to follow You without question or hesitation, and continue transforming my thoughts as I seek to bear the mind of Christ. I praise You, oh God, for Your constant love and unwavering patience as I seek to be more like You. Amen.
