Today

I will be with you when you pass through the waters; when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.
Isaiah 43:2 NIV

LORD GOD, Creator of all things, as I write Your word and promises on this tablet, please write them on the tablet of my heart and mind. Holy Spirit, when I am afraid, remind me of Your thoughts about me:

  •  I am precious in Your sight 
  • I am honored in the presence of my enemies
  •  You love me 
  • You are with me 
  • You will help me 
  • Your Name calls me 
  • You created me for Your glory
  • You formed me 
  • I am Your son/daughter
  • I am Your witness
  • I am chosen for Your purpose
  • I am Your servant
  • I am anointed and appointed to do Your will

I will remember who You Are: 

  • LORD
  • Redeemer
  • The Holy One
  • KING of kings
  • LORD of lords

 By the power of Your Holy Spirit, You will: 

  • Make way for me
  • Bring forth Your army 
  • Extinguish my enemies

When I fail You, I will:

  • Repent my sins
  • Honor You with Thanksgiving
  • Praise You 
  • Seek Your face

Through the Atonement of Your Son, Jesus Christ,

  • I am Forgiven
  • You will blot out my transgressions
  • You will Forget my sins
  • You will Guide me through each step of the way

Jesus, these are just a few reminders of who I am in You; there isn’t enough space to list how wonderfully and fearfully I am made. Thank You, Jesus.
