DECLARATIONS
Jesus, Your mind is perfectly balanced, operational, rested, creative and stress free. You say that I can ask to access Your mind and abide in it. I speak over my own brain right now, Peace, be still. Know that God is in charge of my rest, my sleep and my hormones. I declare the precious Blood of Jesus over my thoughts, my imaginations and my dreams in the daytime and the night time.
You promise that You never leave me or forsake me. Your presence is with me and You have said that You long to give me rest. I choose to believe that your want me to unwind, to unbend, to be leisurely, to enjoy and to take my time. I choose to extend the grace that I am conscious of extending to others, to myself now, in Jesus’ Name.
I choose now to honour Your Sabbath and keep it special, set apart, and fun for me and my family. I’m not going to be weird about it...You made it for me to revel in, not to hedge me in with religious rules and regulations that stress me out! I will bless You with my rest.
Thank You for seeing me. Thank You for knowing me and what I love to do in the busy times and in the quiet times. I choose to model Your beautiful, creative, comforting and peaceful ways inside of my home and with my family. You are pure refreshment. Pour it out now, into and over me, in Jesus’ Name.
God, You never get tired, You never falter, You never slack, You never give up. You pour out strength, ability and energy over and into me when I need it! Thank You for the beautiful regenerative resource that is Your Blood, Jesus.
You are pure renewal. You realign me when I need it the most. You lead me beside quiet waters and beautiful pastures.You restore me and chase me down with goodness and mercy! I open up right now, from the top of my head, to the palms of my hands, and the soles of my feet to Your presence, Your power, Your perspective, Your foresight and wisdom and I declare it SO GOOD! You are overwhelmingly good and Your love and mercy go on and on forever!
