21 Days to a Victorious Lifeنموونە

 

What is the first thing you think about each morning? Do you wake up believing God can do the impossible in your life? Or do you allow your thoughts to wander into defeat before starting your day?

Before starting your day, focus on God. Beginning your morning with thoughts of victory, faith, hope, and belief, will set the tone for your day. However, if you begin with doubt or disbelief, you are certain to set a negative tone.

A few years back, I began to set up my morning thoughts by simply waking each morning and declaring, “I believe, I expect and I receive.” This was a phrase I picked up after reading The Power of Positive Thinking, by Norman Peale. In addition, I would declare, “This is a great day!” And do you know what? I would have a fruitful day! So, I decided to take it a step further. I organized my thoughts on paper and created what became my morning prayer.

I decided to study God’s Word, and most importantly to have a full understanding of what it said about me. As a result, I began to stand on the following scriptures:

• Death and life are in the power of the tongue

• I am more than a conqueror

• I can do all things through Christ

• Thy rod and thy staff comfort me

• I am not fearful, for God is with me

What do you think about in the morning? Create a daily morning thought for your life. Consider taking it a step further and creating your own morning prayer. Here is an example of my morning prayer. Find scriptures that you can declare and decree over your life and incorporate them into your prayer. Remember, God’s Word shall not come back void!
