Monday Prayer: Surrounded by Favor
Heavenly Father, I throw open the doors of this Monday with a heart full of expectation, declaring that Your favor surrounds me like an impenetrable shield!
I refuse to be intimidated by the week ahead, for I am a child of the King and an heir to Your limitless goodness.
I thank You that Your favor is not something I have to earn, but it is the royal atmosphere I breathe.
As I step into my workplace and my responsibilities, I believe that Your “beauty” is resting upon me, establishing the work of my hands and opening doors that no man can shut.
I expect good things to happen today – not because of my own strength, but because Your goodness and mercy are actively pursuing me.
I walk with my head held high, anchored in the truth that Your thoughts toward me are for peace, a future, and a hope.
In the mighty and favored name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
Psalm 90:17
And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
