Day 17 -Tuesday - January 24-- Prayer Focus - OUR LIVES - Living the Vision
What is God’s vision for our life right now - in 2023?
Through prayer, God begins to download it into our minds.
Jeremiah 29:11 (TLB)
11 For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
God has a vision for your life - it’s one of future and hope.
Psalm 92:13-14 (NKJV)
Those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing,
We want to be strong, alive, bearing fruit over and over. Fresh and flourishing in every season of my life.
Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV)
3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’
This is a vision and a dream for our life!
We read these. Do we believe it? AM I realizing the dream that God has for me?
Lord, what is your fresh, current vision for my life (my spiritual life, my career, my health, my marriage, my children)?
Ultimately because of defeat and discouragement, we lack and stop believing.
I believe our lives are to serve a greater service. As we continue to be available, clean and empty - the Lord will give us the plans and vision for our lives.
Let’s pray today for a fresh vision. Dare to dream the dream that God has for your life. This is the best place to start - in prayer and then in the Word.
Our marriage has a future and a hope. Our marriage will flourish. (our finances, our time together, our communication with each other).
Our kids have a future and a hope. Our kids will flourish - (they will do well in their academics, athletics, they’ll know what college to go to, they will inspire friends and not be run by peer pressure)
Our career and our jobs have a future and a hope. Our careers and jobs will flourish. We will have favor with employers, we will advance and lead others, we will be highly productive. We might even venture off to start our own business.
Let’s just pray the Word of God.
Make declarations! I want to spend more time with my kids. I want to be debt free. I’m going to go to college. I want to lose weight. I’m going to be physically fit this year. I’m going to lead 5 people to Christ. I’m going to church every Sunday without a miss and I’m going to serve. These declarations are definitions of the dream.
Let’s dare to dare the dream of what God has placed in our hearts. Let’s pray bold prayers. Let’s dream the dream. Let’s believe it!
