There's something about 2024 that feels different. I can't quite put my finger on it, however what I can say is that as for me, I have not felt an urge to make so many different plans this year. Of course I wrote out goals, however I am open to allowing God to be God this year. So instead of saying this is my year, I would like to say that this is God's year, and I am open to going with the flow of God. To join our bible studies, join the FB community listed below.

Welcome to a brand new season of Deep Meaningful Conversations, powered by Town Appliance! Parents in the audience, do you ever feel that while you have gained tools from the various parenting classes you've taken, some things feel left out or not addressed fully? No one parenting approach can fit all sizes – parents and children included – but the older we get and the more we learn, we're able to more easily pick out the missing parts. In this episode, we have the pleasure of DMCing with parent coach and author Ruchi Koval about what's typically missing from parenting classes. Ruchi's also is a mom of 7, rebbetzin to many and a Momentum trip leader, so she's worked with a lot of parents. We're really curious to find out what she feels we need to hear more about in our parenting journeys. In this episode we discuss: How Ruchi got into parenting coaching What it's like to be in the limelight as a parent coach when you're having your own parenting struggles Ruchi's top topics that are either missing entirely from parenting classes, or not emphasized enough We'd love to hear from you. You can find Deep Meaningful Conversations on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, or you can email us at dmcthepodcast@gmail.com.

In this prayer I learned a little outline on how to glorify God with your gifts. 1) Receive them 2) Develop them 3) Make use of them. Book: Prayers That Avail Much, Prayer: To Glorify God, Author: Germain Copeland.
Join me as I dwell in the secret place if the Most High. Binding my mind to the mind of Christ and my emotions to the control of the Holy Spirit. Obedience is better than sacrifice. When I refuse to listen, anoint my ears to heart. When I am blinded by my own desires, open my eyes to see. Book: Prayers That Avail Much, Prayer: Surrendering All to God, Author: Germain Copeland.

Your Love Let Your love play upon my voice and rest on my silence. Let it pass through my heart into all my movements. Let Your love, like stars, shine in the darkness of my sleep and dawn in my awakening. Let it burn in the flame of my desires and flow in all currents of my own love. Let me carry Your love in my life as a harp does its music; and give it back to You at last with my life. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
The Grasp Of Your Hand Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved, but hope for the patience to win my freedom. Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling Your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of Your hand in my failure. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Voyage I thought that my voyage had come to its end at the last limit of my power, that the path before me was closed, that provisions were exhausted and the time had come to take shelter in a silent obscurity. But I find that Your will knows no end in me, and when old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Polar Star I have made You the polar star of my existence; never again can I lose my way in the voyage of life. Wherever I go, You are always there to shower Your beneficence all around me. Your face is ever present before my mind's eyes. If I lose sight of You even for a moment, I almost lose my mind. Whenever my heart is about to go astray, just a glance of You makes it feel ashamed of itself. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.

My Friend I have come to You to take Your touch before I begin my day. Let Your eyes rest upon my eyes for a while. Let me take to my work the assurance of Your comradeship, my Friend. Fill my mind with Your music to last through the desert of noise. Let Your love's sunshine kiss the peaks of my thoughts and linger in my life's valley where the harvest ripens. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Time To Sit Quietly I ask for a moment's indulgence to sit by Your side. The works that I have in hand I will finish afterwards. Away from the sight of Your face, my heart knows no rest nor respite, and my work becomes an endless toil in a shoreless sea of toil. Today the summer has come at my window with its sighs and murmurs, and the bees are plying their minstrelsy at the court of the flowering grove. Now it is time to sit quietly, face to face with You, and to sing dedication of life in this silent and overflowing leisure. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
This Is My Prayer Give me the supreme courage of love, this is my prayer - the courage to speak, to do, to suffer at Your will, to leave all things or be left alone. Strengthen me on errands of danger, honor me with pain, and help me climb to that difficult mood that sacrifices daily to You. Give me the supreme confidence of love, this is my prayer - the confidence that belongs to life in death, to victory in defeat, to the power hidden in the frailest beauty, to that dignity in pain which accepts hurt but disdains to return it. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Deliverance Deliverance is not for me in renunciation. I feel the embrace of freedom in a thousand bonds of delight. You ever pour for me the fresh draft of Your wine of various colors and fragrance, filling this earthen vessel to the brim. My world will light its hundred different lamps with Your flame and place them before the altar of Your temple. No, I will never shut the doors of my senses. The delights of sight and hearing and touch will bear Your delight. Yes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy, and all my desires ripen into fruits of love. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Last Song Let all the strains of joy mingle in my last song – the joy that makes the earth flow over in the riotous excess of the grass; the joy that sets the twin brothers, life and death, dancing over the wide world; the joy that sweeps in with the tempest, shaking and waking all life with laughter; the joy that sits still on the open, red lotus of pain, and the joy that throws everything it has upon the dust, and knows not a word. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Hold My Hand Deliver me from my own shadows, O God, from the wreck and confusion of my days, for the night is dark and Your pilgrim is blinded. Hold my hand. Deliver me from despair. Touch with Your flame the lightless lamp of my sorrow. Waken my tired strength from its sleep. Do not let me linger behind, counting my losses. Let the road sing to me of the house at every step. For the night is dark, and Your pilgrim is blinded. Hold my hand. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Face To Face? Day after day, O Ruler of my life, shall I stand before You face to face? With folded hands, O Ruler of all worlds, shall I stand before You face to face? Under Your great sky, in solitude and silence with humble heart, shall I stand before You face to face? In this laborious world of Yours, tumultuous with toil and with struggle, among hurrying crowds, shall I stand before You face to face? And when my work shall be done in this world, O Ruler of rulers, alone and speechless, shall I stand before You face to face? Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Greetings Comrade of the road, here are my traveler's greetings to You. God of my broken heart, of leave-taking and loss, of the gray silence of the day fall, my greetings of the ruined house to You. Light of the newborn morning, sun of the everlasting day, my greetings of undying hope to You. My Guide, I am a wayfarer on an endless road, my greetings of a wanderer to You. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Accept Me Accept me, dear God, accept me for this while. Let those orphaned days that passed without You be forgotten. Only spread this little moment wide across Your lap, holding it under Your light. I have wandered in pursuit of voices that drew me, yet led me nowhere. Now let me sit in peace and listen to Your words in the soul of my silence. Do not turn away Your face from my heart's dark secrets, but burn them till they are alight with Your fire. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
Worker Of The Universe It is only the revelation of You as the Infinite that is endlessly new and eternally beautiful in us and that gives the only meaning to our self when we feel Your rhythmic throb as soul-life, the whole world in our own souls; then are we free. O Worker of the universe! Let the irresistible current of Your universal energy come like the impetuous south wind of spring; let it come rushing over the vast field of human life. Let our newly awakened powers cry out for unlimited fulfillment in leaf and flower and fruit. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.
My Song In my songs, I have voiced Your spring flowers and given rhythm to Your rustling leaves. I have sung into the hush of Your night and the peace of Your morning. The thrill of the first summer rains has passed into my tunes and the waving of the autumn harvest. Let not my song cease. Rabindranath Tagore The Heart of God: Prayers of Rabindranath Tagore. Selected and edited by Herbert F. Vetter. © 1997 Herbert F. Vetter. Tuttle Publishing.

Spiritual Warfare Prayer #7 is about "The Sword of The Spirit." Get all Armor of God Prayers here: https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/spiritual-warfare-prayers/ Armor of God Prayer #7 "The Sword of The Spirit." Dear God, Thank you for the sword of the Spirit, my weapon that's both offensive and defensive - the WORD OF GOD. God, the sword of the Spirit is the kind of weapon that both protects AND attacks. It is YOUR, God, utterance, your spoken word, your powerful speech sequence addressed directly to ME and MY life circumstances. I find all the right answers in the Bible. I understand that The Word Of God term has 3 translations: Graphe - the word on the page, the ink, the paper, the physical book itself. Logos - the MESSAGE of the graphe, the actual SUBSTANCE opf what is said in the book. and Rhema - the utterance of God, the spoken, LIVING word of God. Matthew 4:4 says: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God” God, your word is dwelling in me because your Spirit lives in me. I know your word. I understand your word. I listen to the Holy Spirit speak to me in every situation. The Sword of the Spirit protects and guides me in the daily battle with Satan, in this Spiritual Warfare, it keeps me focused on Jesus, your will for my life, and my eternity. Father God, Hebrews 5:12 says “You have been believers for so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God's word.” God, every day I realize that I need YOU to teach me and guide me and lead me. Your living word is my teacher. There's answer to every life situation. There's wisdom and plan for my life - all in your word. In The Bible. The Gospel of truth. I live every day in light of eternity and the promised future in heaven with you. This perspective changes HOW I live my daily life. I live my life by your guidance. I ask you for it every day. I don't rely on my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Instead, I pray and listen for answers from your, God, Spirit, who lives in me. My prayer is this: Lord, I need you every hour, every moment of every day. I need your guidance, your mercy, hold on to me tight. I need you to never let go of me as I pray. I need you to lead me, to renew me, to help me stay humble & kind. Every morning I start with my list of gratitude, God. Every day I realize my weakness and your strength in it. Every moment I reach out to you because I never forgot, That I need you... without you I've already reached my limit. Father God, I take responsibility for my thoughts, words, actions, habits, and lifestyle. You speak truth to me about all of the above and you gave me free will to choose to follow and obey your leadership or to walk in my deadly flesh every day and be wordly. You have already overcome the world (John 16:33). I remember my identity in Christ, I remember your 3573 promises, I remember my justification, salvation, and sanctification for future glorification. I take every one of the 30,000 thoughts I'm thinking daily - captive and submit each to the truth of your word, God, I dwell on who I am in Christ. I dwell daily on “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy” — I think about such things, God (Philippians 4:8). I am using the Sword of The Spirit to listen to your, God, living word guide my life and help me navigate the daily battles of the spiritual warfare using this powerful weapon in both defensive and offensive ways to protect and to also attack. I am remembering who I am, whose I am, why I'm here, and what the purpose of it all is - to glorify YOU, God. Thank you, God, for the blessing of the Armor that helps me face this Spiritual warfare: The sword of the Spirit The helmet of salvation The shield of faith The shoes of peace The Breastplate of righteousness The belt of truth And Prayer In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, I pray.

Spiritual Warfare Prayer #6 is about "The Helmet of Salvation." Get all Armor of God Prayers here: https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/spiritual-warfare-prayers/ Armor of God Prayer #6 "The Helmet of Salvation." Dear God, Thank you for my helmet of salvation. It protects my head, my brain, my mind in the daily battle, in this Spiritual Warfare, it keeps me focused on Jesus and eternity. Father God, I live every day in light of eternity and the promised future in heaven with you. This perspective changes HOW I live my daily life. God, I received my salvation and I am redeemed. My salvation has an incredible impact of my present and not just my future. I know, God, that I can only experience the benefits of my salvation in the present to the extent to which I myself apply the gifts you've blessed me with when I received my salvation. Heavenly Father, I know that receiving salvation is NOT the same as applying salvation. Received salvation redeems us and applied salvation restores, shields, and protects us. God, the present-tense effectiveness of my salvation is in my justification and sanctification. Christ died on the cross for ME. Because of HIS actions, my actions don't count, I have been justified, my debt is paid, I am free from sin and guilt, I am at peace, I am new, I have a second chance, you've given me the fresh start, nothing is weighing me down because any and all of my mistakes, failures, faults - all have been paid. (Romans 5:9) Christ lives through me. I am becoming more Christ-LIKE. On my journey of sanctification, you're teaching me, God, how to be like Jesus as you're preparing me for my eternity. Through this process of sanctification, God, you are transforming my mind, will, and emotions - my soul. God, my JUSTIFICATION happened in the past. Jesus died for me and paid off all my debts. My glorification is in the future, where I will be in heaven with you. And my sanctification is my daily living in your name, God. That's what I know about my salvation. My salvation today is my journey of sanctification, becoming more Christ-like. Thanks for teaching me, God. Father God, I know my salvation's power. Salvation's rescuing power - Christ rescued me from my flesh and sin. And salvation's restoring power - Christ who lives through me restores me from my past and makes me new and transformed. Salvation enables me to lead a whole, healthy life, not a life fractured by the Enemy's deceptive schemes. God, I am confidently walking from my justification toward my glorification through my sanctification. And I thank you for the journey. God, I am inspired by your blessings. I am aspired to live the life that's of your glory. I am motivated to take bold, focused, consistent, massive action in your name, God, to do well with the blessings I received from you, the lavish and boundless inheritance. God, I know for a fact that my mindset, my lifestyle, and my daily choices as your daughter, a royal child, all are based on my wealthy scripture-income status. God, with that, I have your peace, your infinite intelligence, your endless kindness, unconditional love, and your ability to plan and execute greatness. My salvation is my liberation! My salvation must not only be RECEIVED but also APPLIED. God, I understand that as the man thinks so is he (Proverbs 23:7). And so I choose my thoughts carefully. I submit my thoughts to your truth, your word, the Gospel. My heavenly father, I know from Isaiah 26:3-4 that “You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace” so I trust you, God. My mind is steadfast, focused on eternity, and trusts your promises. God, you protect with the helmet of salvation MY SOUL: my mind (thoughts), my will (ambition), my emotions (feelings), and my conscience (moral compass). God, you gave me the helmet of salvation but without proactively putting it on and working out my salvation, I have a mind that's unprotected, unshielded, and vulnerable to Satan's assault. So, I rehearse every day, God, who I am in Christ: I am forgiven I am accepted I am renewed I am healed I am loved I am righteous I am blessed I am anointed I am beautiful I am free I am worthy I am valuable I am holy I am alive --- I am God's masterpiece I am a disciple of Jesus I am fearfully and wonderfully made I am a citizen of heaven I am a child of God I am noble and lovely I am a difference-maker I am a Princess I am special and chosen I am justified and sanctified I am God's glory on display I am light I am a peacemaker I am not alone I am new and transformed ----- I am disciplined I am thoughtful I am decisive I am clear and focused I am prudent I am powerful I am victorious I am confident I am strong I am courageous I am patient I am wise I am intentional ----- I am loving I am kind I am creative I am gifted I am peaceful I am faith-filled I am joyful I am protected I am grateful I am hopeful Everything YOU, God, said about me. This daily rehearsing of my identity in Christ renews my mind and cultivates the health I need to make wise choices in all aspects of life and living in a way that's pleasing to you, God. Father God, I take responsibility for my thoughts, I remember my identity in Christ, I take every one of the 30,000 thoughts I'm thinking daily - captive and submit each to the truth of your word, God, I dwell on who I am in Christ: I am God's masterpiece Created in God's own image Here to glorify God So, God, I dwell daily on “whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy” — I think about such things, God (Philippians 4:8) Thank you, God, for the blessing of the Armor that helps me face this Spiritual warfare: The sword of the Spirit The helmet of salvation The shield of faith The shoes of peace The Breastplate of righteousness The belt of truth And Prayer In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior, I pray. Amen.

I don't pursue or seek it hard - From abiding in Christ comes this sacred emotion. Father God, Spiritual warfare is real. Satan is an invisible enemy but he is not fictional. I understand that in the earthly unstable world, your peace gives me a firm grip and stability, God, your peace is my guard and protector. I know these 5 truths: Having faith in God's Promises leads me to praying genuinely. Praying honestly opens up my heart to trusting the path I am on as I walk with Christ. Trusting my journey opens my mind's eyes to recognizing good things in hardships and being grateful. Gratitude leads me out of fear into the peace that passes all understanding. Experiencing peace, I surrender all my worries, judgements, anger, and sadness in faith and I experience the joy of the Lord. Father God, I know Satan's cruel intentions are: Discord Division Disturbance Disruption Deception I know that Satan wants me Devastated Disoriented Discouraged Distressed Depressed Defeated God, I understand that a life without peace is unprotected, crippled, hindered from growth, and unable to move forward. Father, I understand that true peace is not defined as the absence of chaos but instead refers to my overall inner deep harmony and wholeness. I understand that true peace is detected and measured when uncertainty, confusion, instability, or even chaos abound but I remain steadfast and confident in your, God, promises. Father God, You asked me to: Remember that I am holy and loved Be compassionate, kind, and patient Accept and forgive people And show humility & gentleness Colossians 3:12-15 You requested of me to: Live life worthy of the calling I received Be humble, gentle, patient, and loving And make every effort to be at peace Ephesians 4:1-3 God, I want to be at peace with you and to have your peace.

Spiritual Warfare Prayer #3 is about "The Breastplate of Righteousness." Get all Armor of God Prayers here: https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/spiritual-warfare-prayers/ Spiritual Warfare Prayer #3 "The Breastplate of Righteousness" Dear God, Your wisdom is guiding my life. Thank you for your Fatherly protection and clear direction. You asked me to guard my heart above all else for it's a source of life (Proverbs 4:23) Your truth, your word, the Gospel, empowers me to stand firm against Satan in this Spiritual Warfare. In this battle, I know if my heart's condition is unhealthy, my life is unhealthy, my decisions are unhealthy, my future is unhealthy. God, you made me as a human being with: A body A Spirit A soul My soul is what makes me unique. My soul is my personality. My soul is my distinctive internal nature. My soul allows me to relate to myself. God, I understand that my soul is made of: My mind (these are my thoughts) My will (that is my ambition) My Emotions (these are my feelings) My conscience (that's my moral compass) Father God, I understand that the intersection of these 4 characteristics of my soul is my heart, which is the centerpiece of my soul. Satan wants to: Attack my mind by distorting my thinking, lying about you, God, your word of Truth, myself, who I am, trying to cripple my soul through negative, unbiblical thought processes Attack my will by redirecting my ambitions aways from eternal, godly pursuits, luring me toward interests that are temporary, short-sighted, non-important, or even opposite of he Truth Attack my emotions by stirring up my feelings of anger, bitterness, resentment, rage, discouragement, revenge, fear, anxiety, and sadness Attack my conscience by steering me to live in a way that doesn't align with Biblical guidelines Father God, I am aware of Satan's lies, schemes, and deceptive tactics. I want to honor you, God, with my life, and glorify you. Romans 3:23 says we all have sinned and fall short of your glory, God. But I know about YOUR, God, righteousness in me. God, I understand the 4 types of righteousness: Perfect righteousness described in Romans 10:3 leading me to strive for perfection out of feeling our own inadequacy and fear Comparative righteousness described in 1 Samuel 24:16-17 when I compare my own sins to the sins of others using that as the barometer of righteousness feeling like I don't measure up Imputed righteousness described in Romans 4:22-24 and given to me by you, God, as a gift through the blood of Jesus who died for my sins and washed them white as snow, I am righteous because of what Jesus did and not what I did Practical righteousness described in Ephesians 4:22-24, which requires that I die to my flesh daily and choose to walk in the Spirit, that I live out the righteousness you've blessed me with through demonstrating the fruit of the Spirit in my behaviours, actions, and interactions with others by putting on my new self created in the likeness of God and holiness (Ephesians 4:24) Satan is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). Satan's lies can never stand up against the light of your, God, truth, YOUR own word, the Gospel. I know that Satan never attacks me with a blanket, generalized approach. I know Satan's attacks are clever, they are PREMEDITATED deceptions that are conducted soooo eloquently. Deception is the tool Satan uses to mislead when he comes as a thief to kill and steal and destroy (John 10:10). But your TRUTH, God, is the light that helps me authenticate every decision, every aspect of life, every thought, God, I lean on your word and not my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). So, I stand firmly on YOUR truth. I die to my fleshly ways of: Falsehood (Ephesians 4:25) Sin driven by anger (Ephesians 4:26) Stealing (Ephesians 4:28) Unwholesome talk (Ephesians 4:29) Bitterness, rage, and slander (Ephesians 4:31) Sexual immorality, impurity, greed, foolish talk, and vulgar joking (Ephesians 5:3-5) And I put own my new self, I choose to walk in the Spirit by being: Humble, patient, gentle, and peaceful (Ephesians 4:2-3) Truthful (Ephesians 4:25) Kind, compassionate, and forgiving (Ephesians 4:32) So, God, am committed to: Studying the Scripture so that I know your truth by heart Guarding my heart so that I protect my soul (my mind, ambitions, emotions, and moral compass) Allowing the Spirit to renew my thoughts and attitudes to align them with the Truth Living in the way that is consistent with my new life in Christ and my God-like righteousness gifted to me through Jesus and His sacrifice Father God, I stay strong, firm, unshakable, empowered by your truth. I am choosing to be the DOER of the Word and not just a mere HEARER (James 1:21-22). Thank you, God, for making my path straight, protecting me from Satan's deception by instilling your Truth in me, and teaching me how to guard my heart. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Spiritual Warfare Prayer #2 is about "The Belt of Truth." Get all Armor of God Prayers here: https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/spiritual-warfare-prayers/ Armor of God Prayer #2 "The Belt of Truth" Dear God, Your plan for me is to prosper, have future, and hope (Jeremiah 29:11). But Satan is lurking around, strategizing how to deceive me by producing a misleading impression of reality on me (1 Peter 5:8). Satan wants me to be disarmed and NOT believe WHO I am in Christ: An heir of the ruler of the Universe A daughter of the King God's special child A Princess Satan is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44). Satan's lies can never stand up against the light of your, God, truth, YOUR own word, the Gospel. I know that Satan never attacks me with a blanket, generalized approach. I know Satan's attacks are clever, they are PREMEDITATED deceptions that are conducted soooo eloquently. Deception is the tool Satan uses to mislead when he comes as a thief to kill and steal and destroy (John 10:10). But your TRUTH, God, is the light that helps me authenticate every decision, every aspect of life, every thought, God, I lean on your word and not my own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Father God, you are my loving Daddy, and your boundaries are loving. You set rules to protect me and you asked me to honor your boundaries SO THAT you can protect me from being deceived by Satan. Father God, I call you Abba, I trust your protection guarantee (Psalm 91:7). So, I stand firmly on YOUR truth. I take every thought that comes to mins every day in every aspect of life - CAPTIVE and I submit it to YOUR truth (2 Corinthians 10:5). I know from Ephesians 6:10-19 that you have already given me strength to declare the spiritual victory that has already been won on my behalf. I know that I can stand strong against the enemy because you've armed me. Your armor is my protection, I put on the 7-piece Armor of God daily (Ephesians 6:10-18): The belt of truth The breastplate of righteousness The shield of faith The helmet of salvation The shoes of the Gospel The sword of the Spirit The prayer without ceasing I know that every day my struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephesians 6:12) Therefore, I put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, I may be able to stand my ground. God, your truth protects me from Satan's deception. Understanding WHO you are, God, and HOW you work makes me resilient to stress, stable in trials, resistant to spiritual injuries, and enables me to sustain significant pressure in adversity. So, God, am committed to: Studying the Scripture so that I know your truth by heart Setting your Word as my benchmark for my decision-making Submitting to your teachings every day in every way and not my emotions, feelings, impulses, or ambitions Father God, I stand straight, upright on your 3573 promises I stay strong, empowered by your truth I set out to exercise my discernment daily to honor you with my life and to be protected against Satan's deceptive schemes. God, I know the TRUTH: your Spirit lives in me. Because of this, I can live in a way that is honoring to you, with RIGHTEOUSNESS. God, because I know that your plan for me is hope, future, and prosperity (Jeremiah 29:11) and because I know you work all things together for good (Romans 8:28), I can have PEACE that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7). God, I believe in you and I abide in your word, I live in its light and I have FAITH. God, I know my eternity is secure with Christ, I thank you for every spiritual blessing (Ephesians 1:3), for my status as royalty and King's heir (Romans 8:17), and for my identity as your daughter, a Princess, a child of the King (Matthew 25:34). Thank you for my SALVATION. God, your truth is relevant, present, and alive, it's renewed every day in meaning as I face new life challenges. The Holy Spirit makes the Gospel fresh and new for me each and every day and in all aspects of life I lean on my mastermind - The Trinity, confronting Satan's deceptive lies with THE WORD OF GOD. God, I talk to you through PRAYER daily. You hear my prayers & answer (Psalm 116) Father God, thank you for this wisdom and awareness. I refuse to trust culture, ambitions, aspirations, assumptions, emotions, feelings, or anything else but your word, the truth of the Gospel.. I am choosing to stay present, here with you, strong, grounded, aware of this spiritual warfare and Satan's clever deceitful ways, alert in my mind, and armed with the armor of God. I trust in the Lord and lean not on my own understanding and you, God, are making my path straight, protecting me from Satan's deception. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I trust your promises of protection. I know from Ephesians 6:10-19 that you have already given me strength to declare the spiritual victory that has already been won. Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

Father God, I know you are omnipresent, sovereign, eternal, and can read my mind, but Satan is not and cannot. I know victory for me is peace that passes all understanding The joy of the Lord And contentment from knowing you provide for all my needs I know that while I live here on earth, I also am in heavenly places where every spiritual blessing is given to me (Ephesians 1:3) Redemption, forgiveness of sins, wisdom and understanding are given to me (Ephesians 1:7-8) The Holy Spirit is given to me (Ephesians 1:13) And the riches of God's glorious inheritance are given to me (Ephesians 1:18-19) Father God, I call you Daddy, you are affectionate, loving, gentle, and kind, but firm and strong, protective, you give me my armor, and you have opened up my eyes to see so that I Know how to recognize the enemy - by confusion, self-doubt, depression about sadness of the past and anxiety about the fears of the future Know how to confront the enemy - with Biblical truth and prayer And Know also that the enemy is clever, his deception is premeditated, so you are giving me wisdom to be aware, alert, and prepared Heavenly Father, I know this spiritual battle is against: The rulers of the darkness The powers of the darkness The world forces of the darkness The spiritual forces of the darkness But in the heavenly places where I am with you I am blessed Christ is risen sitting victorious at your right hand And I am seated there too with Christ I know Satan is lurking, he is clever, he is evil, his intentions are cruel, he comes to kill, and steal, and destroy Satan is a liar and the father of lies, his every word is lie.

He has a strategy against my identity, he magnifies my insecurities leading me to doubt what you, God, say about me (Ephesians 1:17-19) He also has a strategy against my confidence: Satan constantly reminds me of past mistakes and bad decisions, hoping to convince me that I am under your, God, judgement rather than under the blood of Jesus (Revelations 12:10) Satan also has a strategy against my calling, God, I know that. He amplifies fear, worry, and anxiety until they are the loudest voices in my head, causing me to deem the adventure of following you, God, and inviting others to follow (Joshua 14:8) And satan also has a strategy against my heart… He uses every opportunity to keep old wounds fresh in my mind, knowing that anger, hurt, bitterness, and unforgiveness will continue to roll the damage forward (Hebrews 12:15) So, Father God, thank you for this wisdom and awareness. I refuse to dwell on the sad and negative things of the past. I refuse to dwell on the possibilities of sad and negative things happening in the future. I am choosing to stay present, here with you, strong, grounded, aware of this spiritual warfare, alert in my mind, and armed with your armor. In Jesus' name. Amen.
Prayer isn’t something that you just know how to do. We need to learn, practice, see examples of it, and be taught what God wants from us and for us.
