"It is God Who arms me with Strength and makes my way perfect."
2 Samuel 22:33
"You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field will clap their hands."
Isaiah 55:12
"As you hold out the Word of Life --
in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing."
Philippians 2:16
"I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace.
In this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Father, what would happen if we turned ourselves completely over to a life of faith in You? What would change?
Peace would erupt from our spirits. Our hearts would release every barbed grudge. Our minds would relax under Your government. Our bodies would heal themselves of untold tensions from the chafing of fear and anxiety on our nervous systems. Joy would give us wings and Your Strength would lift our eyes to see the open doors of our self-made prisons. You would lead us forth in Peace, we would go out in Joy, and we would celebrate Your Victory over all we've allowed to hold us captive.
Help our unbelief and make us people of faith. Show us firsthand what can happen if we radically trust You.
In the Name of Jesus, Who lived the life of perfect faith in You and radically changed the world forever!
