Dear Heavenly Father…With crazy weather happening everywhere, I once again turn all of my thoughts and attention to You. As always, You remain the place of peace, the eye of every hurricane, no matter what is taking place all around. I look forward to all that You are up to today. May I be sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading and discernment and be open to all the divine appointments You have for me to minister to those I encounter. I am Yours and in Your Son’s Name of Authority, King Jesus, I pray. Amen!

 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

Dear Lord Jesus…Once again, I am SO grateful that You know my name! How beloved it is on Your lips and that You know intimately every detail about my life is astonishing. Father, You know the areas I am working on with the Holy Spirit’s help. I pray today for discernment if I have opened any doors that are not of You in my life. I thank You for the power of Your name to break every bondage or oppression that may try to linger in my soul, surrendering every aspect of myself to You alone. I bless You, Lord, and in Your Majestic Name I pray, King Jesus. Amen!

But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel:
"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

As Your life pours through my life in the power of the Holy Spirit, there truly is no “high” like You, Most High! And I am so very thankful that my joy, healing, and Your felt presence have nothing to do with my circumstances. You will untangle every knot in every area of my life. What a place of rest! I am ready. In Your Extravagant Name, I pray, King Jesus. Amen!
