Prayerfully Preparing for 2008

Praying The Scriptures
I went to The Scriptures this morning to literally pray some Scriptures. I always love to go through the book of Isaiah, and to receive instruction therein. The book is full of so many promises. Since this is a Word based blog, you’ll permit me to document one or two of those promises.

Chapter 51 verse 3
For The Lord shall comfort Zion: He will comfort all her waste places: and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of The Lord: joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

On every occasion that I read and pray this promise, I replace Zion with my own name.

Chapter 41 verse 10
Fear not, for I am with you: be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

Chapter 44 verse 3
I will pour water on him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground. I will pour My spirit upon the dry ground: I will pour My spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thy offspring

In praying this scripture, my utterance is that God Himself would fulfill every thirsting, and pour floods of blessings and remembrance on all and every present scarcity.

Chapter 43 verse 18 and 19
Forget about what has happened; don’t keep going over old history. Be alert, be present. I am about to do something brand new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I am making a road through the desert, rivers in the deserts

And as I completed quiet time, one other scripture shouted at me: chapter 55 verse 12: for you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace…

In 2008 I choose to continue to believe Him for yet more of the evidence of His promises.

Won't you?
