Seven New Year’s Declarations

Posted: December 28, 2010 in Uncategorized

These prayers were originally written by Dianne Bundt, but I tweeked them a little bit to be declarations.

Physical health: I declare that my family and I will remain strong in body and free from disease. Those who suffer from injury or illness will be healed and recover quickly and completely. (3 John 1:2; Deuteronomy 7:15; Psalm 41:3)

Peace of mind: I confess my mind and heart will always be at rest. Gratitude and peace will replace every anxious, fearful thought. (2 Thessalonians 3:16; Philippians 4:6)

Good relationships: I proclaim that I will be surrounded by loving, faithful, and supportive friends. Where relationships have been broken, I will find reconciliation and forgiveness. (Proverbs 17:17; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; Matthew 5:23-24)

Sufficient resources: I declare that I will have exactly what I need for each day. By God’s grace, I will become rich in every way so that I will share generously with others. (Proverbs 30:8-9; Luke 11:3; 2 Corinthians 9:11)

New opportunities: I confess that I will constantly be presented with new and profitable ventures. I will have foresight to recognize and take advantage of each opportunity. (Ecclesiastes 11:1-6; Ephesians 5:16)

Good decisions: I proclaim that I have wisdom in Christ to determine the best course of action in every situation. I will receive sound advice from those I ask for counsel. (Ecclesiastes 8:5-6; Proverbs 15:22)

Safety: I declare that my family and I will be kept from violence, calamity, and loss. Those who seek to hurt us physically, mentally, or emotionally will fail so that we will live securely, without the fear of harm. (Psalm 12:5,7; Job 11:18; Proverbs 1:33)
