Last week’s prayer, “Like Mary” was a focus on you as is this week. I felt it was important to prepare and strengthen for what is ahead. (click here if you missed last week.)
 
I know many have felt weary from the onslaught. The intensity hasn’t let up has it? I pray this week encourages you to recognize first that you ARE making a difference. And our prayers ARE prevailing.
 
But also it is very important that we strategically position as we enter what is not only a new year, but a new epoch. (Click here for the word the Lord gave me about this for 2022.)
 
Leaving and entering is very important. Who we are aligned with and who we are under in authority is as well. For it can either limit us or help advance us for what God is doing.
 
I have watched many get stuck and frustration mount as they seek to walk in their destiny, but can’t seem to get there. Worse they can’t seem to figure out why. (click here about how to get unstuck.)
 
Others have taken so many hits this year that you want to crawl into a cave to hide—exactly what satan wants. Remember even David did this the prophet Gad came to him after a season and told him, “It’s time to get out of the cave.”
 
This week is about strengthening you. I want to encourage you and thank each of you for your faithfulness to pray over our nation. I pray a blessing over each of you and protection as you continue to wage war in the heavenlies. That you will be refreshed spirit, soul and body to continue to press in and not give up.
 
Father, I lift up each intercessor who has joined this city-by-city network to stand for their city, state and our nation. Together we link arms in prayer standing on Your Word that You hear our cry for justice, righteousness and truth to prevail.
 
Here is your declaration for this week for you and your family to re-strengthen to remain in the battle:
 
Thank you Lord that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen us with power through Your Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith. I declare that we are being rooted and established in love and will have power, together with all Your people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is Your love and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
 
I declare that over my entire family. May any not yet serving You come into the knowledge of God and fulfill their God-given destiny. I pray that even this year their eyes will be opened to the truth and they will walk in it. I declare as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
 
May the words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. I align my heart with Yours. Break my heart for what breaks yours. Help me run the race before me so that it is a pleasing offering to You.
 
I thank You Lord that You able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us. To You be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Arise O Lord and my our enemies be scattered.
