This is where you come into agreement with God’s promises and pray them over your life. Our tenth prayer is a prayer of promise where you pray God’s Word back to Him. 2 Corinthians 1:20 says: “For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.” (2 Corinthians 1:20 ESV)
A prayer of promise is our “yes and amen” to what we know for sure about God. A promise is a declaration that God will do something, it’s not conditional, and we can fully place our hope, trust, and faith in His promises. When we’re unsure, worried, or fearful, we can remind ourselves of God’s truth that never changes. He will always love us (Romans 8:37-39). He will always be with us (Matthew 28:20). He will always work things out for our good and His glory (Romans 8:28). As we remind ourselves of His promises and pray God’s Word back to Him, we can receive His peace, comfort, and confidence, no matter what we are facing.
Pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your unchanging promises. Help us to hold onto Your Word and pray Your promises over our lives. Grant us peace, comfort, and confidence as we trust in Your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Reflect: What specific promises of God bring you the most comfort and assurance?
