Day 249

I praise You Heavenly Father for being everything I need. Thank You for loving me perfectly. Thank You that You fill me with the light of Your presence and You put Your healing hand where I need it most. I bless You for revealing errors in my thinking that prevent me from experiencing life the way You intended. Thank You that You alert me to the truth of Your Word in all situations particularly in the midst of negative distortions and exaggerations. I am glad that You remind me to focus on the big picture and what's really important especially in my most cherished relationships. Thank You that You fill my heart with compassion for the trouble, pain and anguish that rule over the lives of so many people; yet You keep me relaxed and secure in Your love so that I don't over-react to the conditioned negativity of others. I rejoice that Your will does not include unproductive negative emotions. How great that is! Thank You for giving me power, love and a sound mind so that I may live with joy all the days of my life. Hallelujah!

Day 248

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the adventure of faith in my life and for being with me every step along the way. I praise You for keeping my mind from dwelling on what's wrong with people and situations and instead, helping me to focus on what's right, excellent and worthy of praise. Thank You for showing me how to affirm Your power so that I don't think negatively about my problems but to speak to them in faith that they are removed or resolved through Your Name. I bless You for inspiring me to interpret the conditions I face in such a way that I remain constantly empowered to improve them and establish Your Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. I praise You for giving me dominion over my thought life and consequently over the quality of my emotions. Thank You for protecting me from acting on feelings that are inconsistent with Your Word. I know that obedience to Your principles is the only true path to emotional health, vitality and abundant joy. Just as figs do not come thorn bushes, I know that positive circumstances do not come from negative thoughts. Thank You that You teach me how to act in a manner consistent with uncontainable joy. I bless You that You grant me the courage to act the way I would act if You were physically in my presence encouraging me. Thank You for Your Wonderful Grace!

Thank You Lord for speaking loudly to me and revealing all limiting images in my mind. Thank You that You replace them with pictures that glorify You and accurately represent my full potential. I praise You for upgrading my opinion of myself and my vision for the future so I never feel the need to protect and preserve the best. Thank You that You show me how to be a faithful steward of my one and only opportunity to magnify the greatness You have placed within me by testifying and showing Your presence in my life to others in need. I bless You for leading me away from complacency and any temptation to settle for less than what You know is my absolute best. How awesome it is that You know everything about me and love me anyway!

Thank You that You are helping me to see myself today with as much significance as You see me. Thank You that You remind me to keep my focus ahead of me rather than behind me. Thank You that You protect me from over-identifying with my blunders and under-identifying with my victories. Thank You that You are disrupting and dissolving any stale, destructive self-talk from the past that I may still be embracing. I praise You for granting me the courage to push beyond previous boundaries in all areas of my life and that You remind me that my peak moments are just glimpses of the enormous potential You have blessed me with.

Thank You that You heighten my awareness so that my thinking does not unconsciously drift into the negative, limiting, counterproductive and destructive patterns that ensnare so many. Thank You that You protect me from the temptation to complain, condemn or concentrate on what's wrong with things.

I will sing praise to You.

Day 240

Thank You that I am always with You and that You hold me by my right hand. You guide me with Your counsel, and afterward You will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but You?

I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge. Praise the Lord!
