Daily Prayer for A Victorious Life

5/2/17

Lord,

Fill me with all hope, joy, and peace in believing You and Your promise of eternal life and good works in Christ Jesus! You have given me a conquering spirit of power and love, not of fear and failure.

I remember that past and how You have saved me and healed me.

I think of the present and how Your Spirit resides in me and how I carry anointing, authority, and power.

I give You thanks in advance for all the future victories over my life and circumstances.

Amen!

Nathanael grabs the spear. He shuts his left eye to place his prey in his cross-hairs, then releases the javelin with Odyssean accuracy. But the creature parries. The spear gets stuck in the heart of a warrior in a painting that the king had commissioned 15 years prior.

Come, touch my lips, my Lord, caress
With flesh the flesh of me;
One mortal morsel and my “Yes!”
Shall make me one with thee.
Come, kiss thee into me.
