MUSIC FOR DAY 29: AT YOUR COMMAND

PRAYER

The LORD of Heaven's Armies, I praise You for Your sovereignty over every power in earthly and spiritual realms. There are innumerable armies of angels at Your disposal. All creation moves at Your command and serves Your purpose.

Thank You for the power in me that is always greater than the power in the world. You never stop working in my life. You send Your mighty armies to protect me and to fight for me.

Forgive me when I am engulfed in fear and despair as if You were absent, powerless, or uninterested in my struggles. Forgive me when I forget that the battles are Yours, and I just need to be still.

Grant me wisdom to choose my battles and faith to allow You to fight for me.

Because You are the LORD of Heaven's Armies, I declare that there is no real threat in my life, for I am securely protected by an invincible power.

SMILE & BREATHE

Find a quiet space to encounter Him, making yourself comfortable and relaxing your neck and shoulders.

Smile, for He will fight for you, you need only to be still... (Exodus 14:14)

Inhale slowly through your nose, imagining this "Warrior God" leading countless legions of angels, fighting for you!

Hold your breath for a moment, celebrating His victories and cheering for His triumph in your life.

Exhale slowly through your mouth, taking a bit longer than the inhale, releasing feelings of fighting alone, helplessness, or fear of failure.

Repeat several times, trying to deepen your breath with each cycle.
