May 21, 2023 - James 1:18

“God was delighted to give us birth by the truth of his infallible Word so that we would fulfill his chosen destiny for us and become the favorite ones out of all his creation!” James 1:18 TPT

Lord, today we thank you for the fact that you delighted to create us. We are so honored to be given life through your truth. Thank you for every detail with which you designed us. We thank you that we were not an accident, or just the outcome of a bunch of cells and DNA strung together. We weren’t even something that you just threw together. No, we were intricately designed by you. Every little detail thought out and put in place by you. How remarkable!

We thank you so much that you made each of us with a destiny chosen just for us. Lord, we ask for you to keep working in each of us to prepare us and move us into that destiny. Help us to see the trials we go through as preparation. Help us to learn the lessons we need to learn and grow as needed to fulfill that destiny. Lord, we don’t want to get stuck in the same situations again and again because we can’t learn what we need to learn and grow how we need to grow. Help us always to press into you and into what you want us to learn. Help us not to be quick to point the finger at others or the situation to find fault but let us always look inward and to you to see how we can grow and handle things better. We want to be prepared and ready to step into all you have for us.

Thank you that you call us your chosen and beloved above all of creation. What an honor, Father. Thank you for the privilege of being able to choose to love and serve you. We declare that we will always choose you above all else. For you are so worthy of our everything and we dearly love you.

In Jesus name, amen.
