Father,

As we meet the challenges of the day, we realize that no growth ever happens if we stay in our comfort zone. There are times when we must be bold and be true to our passions and face what we’ve been letting hold us back. May we have the strength of character to be true to ourselves, as the wisdom of 2Timothy indicates, “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” In order to strengthen our tools and set our hands to our best work, we will be courageous in speaking truth boldly, wielding our sword of light that has been blessed by you.

Please bless each and every one of us today as well as all those around us. We ask that you come into our hearts and our minds and set your love to flow through our hands as we go about our work today, as well as every word passing from our lips. May we all know the truth in our hearts so that we may follow its guidance.

As we step forward boldly in true authenticity, we dare to be more of us than we’ve ever been because we know that true magic happens when we are outside that comfort zone. We ask your assistance in bettering ourselves as master the weaker part of our nature, in order to grow out of it. For it says in Ephesians, “to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.”

We will keep going; we will be bold; and we will be authentic in upholding what is right, because we know that the time is now to take a stand and make our case for true freedom.

Let it be so,

God is Victory.

Amen.
