The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
JAMES 5:16 NLT
JANUARY 1
TRUE DELIGHT
What delight comes to the one who follows God’s ways!
PSALM 1:1 TPT
Father of wisdom, I don’t want to ever lose sight of the joy that is found in your presence. Surround me with your Spirit and fill my heart with your peace that passes understanding. Though I find delight in many areas of my life, not one is as sweet as the delight I find in your affection.
As I follow you on the path of your loving kindness, throwing aside my judgments and worries, I trust that your joyful peace will be my portion. Thank you for loving me so wholly. I delight in you freely because of your unfailing mercy.
I declare that as I go about my day, I will choose to walk in the wisdom of God’s ways. As I choose mercy over judgment and kindness over shutting down in offense, I will find greater freedom in your love. Instead of preserving myself and my own preferences, I will choose to consider the effects my actions have on those around me. By God’s grace, I will live more openly, with compassion as my motivation.
JANUARY 2
NEVER-ENDING MERCY
He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will deliver us again.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:10 ESV
Great God, you are my deliverer. You are the one I put my hope in when every other hopeful possibility has dissipated. You are the strength I desperately need when I am too weak to stand on my own. When the world around me is chaotic and feels as if it’s closing in on me, you are my only hope.
I long for your confident peace to surround me and flood my senses. Deliver me, Lord! Free me from my fears and rescue me from crippling anxiety. I cling to you; I trust in you. Come, Lord, once again.
Just as you have already done for others, I declare that your love will surround and meet me in the midst of my messiest circumstances. You are the deliverer, and you will never change. I declare that my heart can trust in you completely, for you have done great things. You are not finished working your mercy.
JANUARY 3
UNSHAKEABLE FAITH
If your faith remains strong, even while surrounded by life’s difficulties, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God! True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every lover of God!
JAMES 1:12 TPT
Jesus, I put my faith completely in your character and in your unending mercy. I don’t need all the answers to trust you. Strong faith is built upon the foundation of your goodness, not my own, and I am so thankful for that. There is nothing I could do to convince you to love me more; you already love me through and through.
I build my hope around your nature, and I give you access to my heart. I lay down my worries and my cares, and I stand upon your Word. Even as life’s challenges continue, I will keep believing that you are good, you are faithful, and you are true.
I declare that even when difficulties surround me the goodness of the Lord never falters. I put my faith in the Creator of all things, and I stand upon the truth of his unending mercy. As I go about my day, I will see the power of his Spirit at work in my life, bringing fruit of patience, peace, and joy even when that shouldn’t naturally be the case. The Lord is my victory.
JANUARY 4
RESCUED
He has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son.
COLOSSIANS 1:13 NLT
King of kings, there is no way I can begin to adequately thank you for your incredible kindness toward me. Thank you for rescuing me from the darkness I was once in and bringing me into your glorious light. Here, I have found a home in your peace, and I have come alive in your life-giving love.
Thank you for the freedom I have in you. Nothing that can overpower the strength of your mercy! You have given me space to run, to breathe deeply, and to heal. Thank you for calling me your own.
Today in the light of this moment, I declare that the freedom I knew at first in Christ is the same powerful freedom I have right here and now. In the power of Christ, I am free to live in his love. There is nothing that can separate me from his powerful mercy, and no one can take his love away from me. I have been delivered from fear’s threats, and I belong to the King of kings.
JANUARY 5
UNCHANGEABLE GOD
Every good action and every perfect gift is from God. These good gifts come down from the Creator of the sun, moon, and stars, who does not change like their shifting shadows.
JAMES 1:17 NCV
Unchangeable One, when I see how the sun reflects off a mountainside as it sets, when I feel the breeze of the ocean on my face and hear the sound of its crashing waves, I can’t help but be in awe of your workmanship. You, the God who created wildflowers and shooting stars, are the same God who cares for me.
Thank you for the perfect gifts of your goodness in my life. Give me eyes to see the beauty of the mundane, for I know that you are as present in my dullest moments as you are in the most exhilarating. I love you!
As I go about my day, I declare that my eyes will be open to the gifts of God’s goodness all around me. I will not miss a detail of the perfection that is already present in my life and that rises to meet me. I will walk in this world filled with compassion and curiosity, and I will grow in my capacity for wonder and awe as I notice God’s fingerprints in creation.
JANUARY 6
EVERLASTING HOPE
The hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time.
TITUS 1:2 NIV
Lord, I believe that you are the way, the truth, and the life. I trust that what you said is true and that you will do it. You are unchanging in loyal love to all you have made, and I am included in that.
Thank you for the promise of your kingdom and the unshakeable hope of everlasting life in the living light of your presence. Encourage my heart by your Spirit today and fill me with the confidence of your presence. You are my hope, and I cling to you.
I declare that no matter what I’m facing today, no matter what I’m going through, God is the same powerful, good, loving, saving God that he has always been. I have no need to fear, for the hope of his coming kingdom is my foundation and will not be shaken. No matter how many days I have in this one short life, there is more to look forward to in the next.
JANUARY 7
IN CHRIST
The yes to all of God’s promises is in Christ, and through Christ we say yes to the glory of God.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 NCV
Lord Jesus, in you I find the fullness of God’s heart of love. You who spent time with the outcasts, who dined with tax collectors, and who wandered from town to town sharing the love of the Father, you are the one I look to today. I’m so grateful that you are not easily offended.
I am drawn to your love, and I am pierced by your truth. Thank you for showing us what the Father’s heart looks like. You are the way, the truth, and the life.
I declare that in your love I am made whole. You are my freedom, my peace, and my joy. There is no one else who loves me so completely, who lifts me up when I am beaten down by life, or who consistently stays by my side. I declare that every good and perfect gift is from you. You are my greatest treasure.
JANUARY 8
DIVINE CLUES
Ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
ROMANS 1:20 NLT
Creator, I see your workmanship in the intricacy of the world around me. There is so much beauty in the construction of snowflakes, and wonder rises within my heart when I watch the light and colors change in a beautiful sunset.
As I marvel at creation, my heart grows in its desire to know you more. Reveal your loving kindness to me in fresh ways as I look to you today. Fill me with awe and wonder as you expand my understanding of your great kindness. I long to know you more.
Even as the stars shine bright in the velvet blanket of the sky, I declare that your light shines brighter in me. I am a reflection of your life-giving mercy, and it glows brighter than the sun. As I look at the world around me, I will not miss the beauty of your character and creativity.
JANUARY 9
ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES
When troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
JAMES 1:2-3 NLT
Great God, thank you for the opportunity to reframe my experiences in the light of your great love. No trouble is too difficult for you, and I know that each one is an opportunity to experience your abiding presence in even greater measure.
You are my joy, and the development of my character reflects your work in my life. Give me patient endurance and the tenacity to keep holding on to your perspective and truth over my own understanding. I open my heart to you again.
I declare that no matter what I face today, I will do it with the strength of the Spirit of God as my sustenance and source. Nothing can keep me from the great and merciful heart of my Father. Even in the greatest struggles and most inconvenient interruptions, I will find an opportunity to press into the joy of the Lord.
JANUARY 10
KEPT BY GOD
All glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.
JUDE 1:24 NLT
Merciful Father, thank you for your faithfulness in my life. I rely on your power to keep me close, your peace to comfort my wavering heart, and your joy to be my strength. Thank you for surrounding me with your presence and for leading me into deeper freedom in your love.
You are the one who keeps me from falling. You are the hope I hold on to, and even more importantly, you hold on to me with your unending mercy. There is nothing that intimidates you, and I am so relieved to know that you see all things clearly. In you, there is hope for restoration and redemption.
I declare that no matter the temptation I’ve had to give up, God is not finished with me yet. He is not discouraged or disheartened by the things that discourage me. There is more joy, more peace, more passion, more love, and more hope in the abundant presence of Christ within me.
JANUARY 11
GREATER WISDOM
The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:25 NIV
Wise God, there is no greater perspective in the universe than yours. Being the source of all life, you see everything clearly. Nothing stumps you. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with those who seek it. I long to know you more and to walk in the fullness of your kingdom.
As I look to you today, give me greater revelation of your ways. Fill me with the strength of your presence. In light of the perspective of your greatness, I am as miniscule as an ant. Even so, you offer me access to your unmatched wisdom. Thank you!
I open myself up to the direction, discernment, and wisdom of God today. I will not rely on my own understanding but on the perspective of God who rules and reigns over all. As I look to his Word and meditate on the Scriptures, I will find direction and guidance. I declare that God’s wisdom rules my life.
JANUARY 12
EVERYTHING WE NEED
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
2 PETER 1:3 NLT
Glorious One, I look to you for all my needs. Every lack is a reminder to turn to you. You don’t hesitate to meet me with the provision of your presence. You don’t withhold what I need. The roots of my faith are deeply planted in your mercy, and I want to live by drawing strength directly from the source of your pure and living waters.
Open my eyes to see where you have already met my needs. Give me greater assurance and peace in my heart to trust that you will continue to do it.
As a child of God, I am no stranger to his goodness. He does not withhold his abundance from me; he overwhelms my needs with the riches of his glory. He is more powerful than my fears, and I will continue to see the goodness of my God in the land of the living.
JANUARY 13
LIVING HOPE
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.
1 PETER 1:3-4 ESV
Merciful Father, thank you for the living hope I find in your Son. Through the resurrection power of his sacrifice, I have been made alive in your love. Though trials and troubles come and sometimes overwhelm me, I will not forget that you are the Redeemer, the restorer and lifter of my head.
Lift the worries that have weighed down my hope as I open my hands to you in surrender. I offer you the heavy load of my fears. Deliver me into your joy and your peace once more as I fix my eyes on Jesus, my true and living hope.
No matter what I face today, my inheritance in Christ is undiminished. Nothing can keep me from the love of God, and no one can steal my destiny. I am firmly held within the mercy of God’s heart, and my future is established in him. Praise God!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us.
2 CORINTHIANS 1:3-4 NCV
Comforter, thank you for coming close in my trouble and for drawing near to me in my heartbreak. When discouragement weighs down my heart, you are ever so close. Wrap around me with the loving kindness of your presence. Settle my anxiety with your soothing peace.
I lean back into your love, pressing more keenly into this moment where you meet me as I am. Thank you for your mercy that does not diminish or increase based on my feelings. It is always abundant.
I will offer praise to God today for his nearness. Even in my discomfort, his peace is available. In my great grief, his Spirit is near and comforts me. I declare that I will not look to escape the pain of my emotions; instead, I will allow God to minister to me in them.
JANUARY 15
PATIENT ENDURANCE
Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.
JAMES 1:4 NKJV
Perfect One, you know me better than I know myself. You see how I struggle to slow down in the waiting and to let each moment have its significance. I would rather rush ahead into the exciting parts of life than settle into the rhythms of ebb and flow.
But you, oh God, created the seasons, and you put the rhythms of nature into place. I want to value what you value and allow myself to sink into the periods of waiting and tending that promote greater growth. I trust you more than I trust my own senses.
Where I feel hurried, instead of continuing to rush ahead, I will slow down into the moment and ask myself why I feel the need to move so quickly. There is beauty in process, and I will learn to love it. I declare that I will let patience produce maturity, presence, and pleasure in the little things. I will start today!
JANUARY 16
HOLY SPIRIT HELP
We know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction. You know how we lived among you for your sake.
1 THESSALONIANS 1:4-5 NIV
Holy Spirit, without your help, all I have is knowledge and a set of belief systems. I don’t want to rely only on words that others have spoken. Produce deeper conviction in my heart as you draw near and fill my life with the power of your presence. I want to know you as I know my closest friends. I want to fellowship with you, to be astounded by you, and to know the love of God more fully through your friendship.
There is nothing I withhold from you. Walk with me, teach me, and fill me with your fruit. I yield to you.
I declare that my life will not simply be marked by what I say I believe but also by the power of God at work within me. The Holy Spirit teaches me through revelation and deeper wisdom in my innermost being. As the Word of God comes alive, my whole being vibrates with the radiance of his love, joy, peace, and hope.
JANUARY 17
PURE LIGHT
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
1 JOHN 1:5 NIV
Radiant One, in the light of your presence, I come alive. There are no hidden agendas within your heart, and there is no trickery in your approach to humanity. You are full of loyal love, reaching out in mercy and grace to all. Thank you for loving me so completely, for freeing me of my shame, and for giving me your abundant peace when the world is unsteady.
As I look to you for wisdom, the pure light of your truth shines on my understanding. Radiant God, shine on me with the brilliant light of your kindness once again. Fill me to overflow with the joy of your presence. I long to catch a greater glimpse of your glory today.
In the light of God’s presence, all shadows are illuminated. I declare that as I live with intention and a surrendered heart to him, there is nothing to fear. All wrongs will be made right in him, and he will not let darkness destroy me.
JANUARY 18
COMPELLING LOVE
Because of his love, God had already decided to make us his own children through Jesus Christ. That was what he wanted and what pleased him.
EPHESIANS 1:5 NCV
Loving Father, I can’t begin to imagine or describe the lengths of your compassion. My mind can’t comprehend the immensity of your mercy. Love compels all you do. Jesus described you and displayed your loyal and gracious love, and it wiped away visions of a hard-to-please deity who was out of touch with our pain and suffering.
Jesus revealed you as the tender and patient father to the prodigal son. He demonstrated your great compassion through healing those that society had deemed unclean, untouchable, and unlovable. Everyone has a home in your love. Thank you, Father!
I declare that there is no reason to let fear keep me stuck in cycles of regret and shame when love has already set me free. The Father is not disappointed in me, so why would I let my own disappointment keep me from coming to him? I am his dearly loved child, and I run to his arms today.
JANUARY 19
GENEROUS WISDOM
If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He is generous to everyone and will give you wisdom without criticizing you.
JAMES 1:5 NCV
Wise God, I come to you with all my questions, my wonderings, and my doubts today. I believe that you are generous with your perspective as well as your love. Teach me your ways, lead me into your wisdom, and keep me steady in your truth.
You know how much I need your input in my life. I will not despise the need to ask, for you are full of wisdom and see everything clearly. I rely on your fellowship, and I delight in receiving revelations of your perspective that broaden my own. Your wisdom expands my understanding while fear keeps me thinking small. Generous God, teach me more of your ways today.
More than I want my own way, I want to walk in the wisdom of God’s ways. I want to pursue the path of love that Jesus set out. I declare that God’s wisdom is my guiding light. I will not walk blindly; he illuminates the steps before me.
JANUARY 20
CHOSEN
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
JEREMIAH 1:5 NIV
Creator, thank you for knowing me better than any other. You know what makes me curious, what drives my ambition, and what holds me back in fear. You know every motivation of my heart and the number of hairs on my head. You, my Creator, formed me in my mother’s womb. Even before you did it, you knew who I would become.
I trust that you do not make mistakes and that who I am is wonderful to you. I yield my heart and life to yours knowing that you are the one who always knows best. Lead me in your love and shine your light on me. I want to come alive in the delight of your presence.
I am beautifully and wonderfully made. I declare that I will accept and cherish who I am as much as God does, for the one who created me delights in his children. I have been chosen as his own, so I will live in the freedom and confidence of his love.
JANUARY 21
HE’S STILL WORKING
I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
PHILIPPIANS 1:6 ESV
Perfect God, thank you for never giving up on me. Even when I can’t see what you are doing, I believe that your mercy is weaving through the fabric of my life. Encourage my heart today in the truth that you are not finished with me yet. Today is not the end of my story; it is a new opportunity and a continuation of your faithfulness.
Give me eyes to see where you are already moving in mighty ways. Let your power revive my heart in hope. May the peace of your presence guard my mind and settle my heart today.
I declare that the work that the Lord has started in me is his to finish. He is not done working miracles of his mercy through my story. This moment is all I have, and here he meets me with the fullness of his presence. I am wholly loved, fully accepted, and wonderfully set free right here and now in his perfect love.
JANUARY 22
TRUST HIM
Be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead. You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.
1 PETER 1:6, 8–9 NLT
Trustworthy One, thank you for the joy I find in your presence. I’m grateful that there’s more joy promised ahead. I have tasted and seen your goodness in my life, and yet I long for so much more. I long for a fresh drink of your mercy that meets me right where I am.
Fill me with your presence and surround me with your light and life. Expand my understanding in your wisdom and breathe relief into the deep recesses of my soul as I release what I can’t control to your hands. I trust you.
I declare that God is worthy of my trust no matter the circumstances I face. Though storms may come and go, his Word remains true. His mercy is immovable and abundant toward me. I will continue to press into his peace as I surrender my trust to him over and over again.
JANUARY 23
LIGHT OF UNITY
If we keep living in the pure light that surrounds him, we share unbroken fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, continually cleanses us from all sin.
1 JOHN 1:7 TPT
Radiant Jesus, I long to live in the light of your presence all the days of my life. I want to choose love rather than nursing my offenses. I want to be a promoter of peace rather than a sower of dissension.
As I look to you now, shine the light of your loving grace over my mind, in my heart, and through my entire being. Make me one with you. May all shame, fear, and worries be silenced by our present peace. Thank you!
No matter how often I fall and fail, there is always a fresh opportunity to rise again. The pure light of Jesus’ presence is right here with me, and it has not diminished. I am made whole in his loving embrace, and there is nothing that his mercy leaves untouched in my life. I am one with him and unified with those who fellowship with him.
JANUARY 24
PURIFIED AND STRENGTHENED
These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.
1 PETER 1:7 NLT
Faithful Father, I will not let the pressures of life keep me from turning to you today. You are my perfect portion, my source of hope, and all I need to inspire me to keep choosing the path of love.
Flood my senses with your empowering presence and lead me in your mercy. I know that trials will come and go, but your steadfast love will never cease. Strengthen me and purify me as I continue to press into you. I rely on your help and your leadership, Lord.
My faith is strengthened by the presiding passion to keep going no matter what. Even as struggles remain in my life, endurance is built in my soul as I press into the present peace of God. I will continue to give God access to my heart and life because he is my hope.
JANUARY 25
SPIRIT OF SELF-CONTROL
God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
2 TIMOTHY 1:7 ESV
Spirit, you are full of all good and heavenly gifts. Your presence brings peace, joy, comfort, strength, hope, and love. You give perspective to my closed-mindedness, and you broaden my understanding with the revelations of God’s true nature. You are my confidant, my closest friend, and my best help. Without you, I don’t know what I would do! You fill me with clarity for my confusion, and you give space to make conscious choices when I feel rushed.
Thank you for your fellowship. Without it, I would be lost. Thank you for your love that settles my fears and calms my anxieties. Here, I am able to make loving and wise decisions in light of your kingdom values.
I have the Spirit of peace, love, and self-control residing within me. He is my guiding light, my greatest advisor, and the voice of truth. I will not rush forward, stay stuck, or run away in fear. I will stand my ground and allow the Spirit of love to free me from the shackles of shame that inhibit me. I am free indeed in the presence of Jesus.
JANUARY 26
GENEROUS KINDNESS
He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
EPHESIANS 1:7 NLT
Jesus, thank you for the generous kindness of your sacrifice. You are better than I could put words to, and your promise of freedom in your mercy is the greatest gift I have ever received. You are full of generosity. Your joy, peace, love, kindness, strength, and hope are more plentiful than I can imagine.
Fill me with fresh revelations of the lengths of your love. I want to worship you in wonder today. I will not forget the grace that you openhandedly pour out into my life like an unending stream. How I love you!
There is nothing in my life that is hidden from Jesus or his mercy. He purchased my freedom, and I am truly alive in his love. There is no shame, no sin, no addiction, and no compromise that is not covered by his mercy. I have been set free in the merciful tide of his love, and I am truly free.
JANUARY 27
ALWAYS GOOD
The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him.
NAHUM 1:7 NIV
Lord, you are my safe place. You are my shelter when the storms of life are raging. You are my anchor of hope that holds me when the winds whip about me. You are my loving caregiver and my tender Father. I rely on you to keep me close even as I hunker down in the cellars of your abundance.
Refresh me with the coolness of your refuge. Calm me in the recesses of your goodness. I trust you with all I am, all I have, and all I hope for. You are good.
No matter what is going on in the world around me, I believe that God is good. I declare that I will continue to see the goodness of the Lord in my life. He won’t stop working his mercy into the details of my story. I will proclaim with my very life that God is good and that I belong to him.

SPIRIT POWER
“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.”
ACTS 1:8 NIV
Holy Spirit, I ask you to descend upon my life in greater measure today. Open my ears to hear you and my eyes to see where you are working. I want to know you more, to breathe in the peace of your presence, and to walk in the confidence of your fellowship and friendship. With you as my wise guide, I will not falter to the right or to the left.
Keep my heart entrenched in your abundant and living love. Heal me, restore me, lead me, and challenge me. Soothe my worries and corral my cares with your wise mercy. Move in my life, for I rely on you to do what I could never on my own.
I am a child of the living God, and as such, I am filled with his Spirit. I have yielded my life to Jesus Christ, and he has offered me his presence to help me in every way. I have the power of God at work in my life! I walk in the authority of his name, and I will see even greater things than I have yet experienced in his miracles among us.
JANUARY 29
BE ENCOURAGED
“Don’t be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and will protect you. I, the LORD, have spoken!”
JEREMIAH 1:8 NLT
Lord God, you are my hope and my holy encouragement. You shield me from the accusations of the enemy, and you are my defender and my advocate. You are the only one who can move mountains, and today I ask that you do that in my life.
Encourage my heart in your presence. As I go about my day, show me in tangible ways that you are with me. You said that you would never leave or forsake me, and I believe it. Keep me safe and secure and remove the barriers that would keep me stuck and small in fear and shame. Your love is greater than all things.
I am covered in the favor of God, for I am his beloved child. I declare that I walk in the freedom of his love and mercy. I am no prisoner of fear because Christ has set me free. I am free to live with confidence, for the Lord my God goes with me into every battle.
