I am always amazed how you lead Father God.For so long I have prayed for a heart like David. I know Im supposed to lead but I dont want to lead because I overthrew the annointed of the Lord. I dont want to win by might but submit to the authority God has placed me under. Now I have great Leadership over me who really are not hard to submit. Praise the Lord! My heart for people really is not to be "over" anyone. I long for when people will surpass where Ive reached with the Lord, (Cause its really not that far!) but I can invest in them to reach higher places by allowing my life to be a stepping stone for them. Several Times I have had prophecy that I am a Barnabus. I want to be the one the Lord calls to go to great lengths to bring people to Christ like Barnabus did when he went to Saul before his change to Paul! I want to love people and show them the Love of the Lord which is greater than anyother Love. I know I dont want to judge though it is a struggle for me, I want to love unconditionally.
I long to live my life encountering God daily. Lord I ask for your wisdom and discernment to see the schemes of the enemy and to take authority over situations and bring them into alignment with your kingdom. Note to self I need to do a study over Deborah. Yes and Amen!

Lord I feel like the words Saul gave when he met Samuel, (1 Sam 9) He says, But I'm only from the tribe of Benjamin, the smallest tribe in Israel, and my family is the least important of all the families of that tribe. Why are you talking like this to me?
How can I be a hint of the things you have placed on my heart? Lord I need you to show me who I am because I can give you lists of everything Ive done wrong and how Ive failed. And yet you never leave me in my junk. Your arm is never to short to rescue me from this place. I need your presence here in this place! I feel beaten and defeated but this round isn't over and I am more than a conqueror in Christ. I will stand beside you in victory Lord!. Your word in Psalm 139 says, You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.
You are my strong tower and I run to you Lord hide me in you. I cant stand alone and I dont want to even if I could! I want to be so close with you I cant tell where I end and you begin! Lord I pray you would purify me, for I am a person with unclean lips. But I want to be prepared to go where you are sending me! I want to go to work with you today and spend time doing the work of your kingdom!

Ill Stand My Soul Lord To You Surrendered
I want to stand in your presence Lord all the days of my life. You are all that I need. Everyday I find how little I actually love and how much more I want to love. Open my heart and allow me to be pliable. Lord I need you to soften my heart more and more each day. I want to be able to love completely and unselfishly. Breath of life come breathe in me! Lord search my heart and see if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting! Lord I ask that you would show me who I am to you? When you look at me what do you see?

Compilation of Promises
Right now I am standing on faith for some things and am taking a minute to declare some things over the situation.
Psalm 91:2-6
This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3 For he will rescue you from every trap
and protect you from deadly disease.
4 He will cover you with his feathers.
He will shelter you with his wings.
His faithful promises are your armor and protection.
5 Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,
nor the arrow that flies in the day.
6 Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,
nor the disaster that strikes at midday.
Phillipians 4:18-19
18 At the moment I have all I need—and more! I am generously supplied with the gifts you sent me with Epaphroditus. They are a sweet-smelling sacrifice that is acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.
Lord, I ask for your wisdom and discernment about this situation. Show me anything I need to know. I know I am blessed and highly favored and by the grace you give freely on the cross I know I am a coheir with Christ and you will supply all my needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. I know Lord that you do not look at my situation and say oh my how am I gonna fix this? You already have every step figured out. I believe I have heard from you for my situation and I trust in you! You are my God and I trust in you, for your word says I will never leave you nor forsake you. You will make your face shine down on me because I am the delight of the Lord. You rejoice over me with singing. Your word says the lord your God is with you he will take great delight in you and will rejoice over you with singing. I believe and therefore I receive the promises you have made me. Your word says that your faithful promises are my armor and protection. I will not dread the disease that stalks in darkness nor the disaster that strikes at midday. for the arm of the Lord is not too short to rescue me! I am my beloved's and He is Mine! I am my beloved's and He is mine! Jesus you work everything together for the Good of those who believe and I ask that you would bring my current situation in line with Heaven. Lord I expect you to show up, I know you will. Thank you that you never forget, thank you that you always protect always trust always bring hope. Help me to pick up my cross and die to my flesh today that I might be able to go with you on the journey you are planning for me! I want to be completely abandoned to you, recklessly relentlessly yours. You are my stron tower and I run to you. I want to be hidden in you completely! I need you so desperately. Lord I want to sit in your prescence. I need to see the face of my beloved! What I got yesterday is not enough I need the bread for today! I love you Lord! I love you Lord!
Isaiah 43:1-4,10-21
1 But now, O Jacob, listen to the Lord who created you.
O Israel, the one who formed you says,
“Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you.
I have called you by name; you are mine.
2 When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.
3 For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom;
I gave Ethiopia[a] and Seba in your place.
4 Others were given in exchange for you.
I traded their lives for yours
because you are precious to me.
You are honored, and I love you.

10 “But you are my witnesses, O Israel!” says the Lord.
“You are my servant.
You have been chosen to know me, believe in me,
and understand that I alone am God.
There is no other God—
there never has been, and there never will be.
11 I, yes I, am the Lord,
and there is no other Savior.
12 First I predicted your rescue,
then I saved you and proclaimed it to the world.
No foreign god has ever done this.
You are witnesses that I am the only God,”
says the Lord.
13 “From eternity to eternity I am God.
No one can snatch anyone out of my hand.
No one can undo what I have done.”

14 This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“For your sakes I will send an army against Babylon,
forcing the Babylonians[b] to flee in those ships they are so proud of.
15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,
Israel’s Creator and King.
16 I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters,
making a dry path through the sea.
17 I called forth the mighty army of Egypt
with all its chariots and horses.
I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned,
their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick.

18 “But forget all that—
it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.
19 For I am about to do something new.
See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.
20 The wild animals in the fields will thank me,
the jackals and owls, too,
for giving them water in the desert.
Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland
so my chosen people can be refreshed.
21 I have made Israel for myself,
and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

Lord You have promised I can walk through the flames and not be burnt! I know its going to get hot but I also know I dont have to accept the burning! For you will make rivers in the dry wasteland and I will be refreshed. Lord you are doing something new this is the year of the Lords favor ! No one can snatch me out of your hand and no one can undo what you have done! Others were given in exchange for me, because I am precious to Him and He loves me. Though the waters rush at me I will not drown for you provise a dry path throught the waters and I am never beyond your rescue. Lord sometimes I have toremind myself who you say I am and choose not to live defeated.

I ask all of this in your name, Yes and Amen

Passions
I am looking to see where I can make room in my mind for a miracle. I need to have my passion renewed. I dont want to become mundane or ordinary. Everyone says that I am going to accomplish so much in my life. Let me get down to the nitty gritty of the matter. I just want to see HIM. Obsessively, relentlessly expectant to encounter my Lover. I am nothing without love. He is love. If you were to make someone the benchmark for love He would be it. He is the one who teaches me to love more everyday.
I ask that you meet me here. In the place beyond where anyone else knows. Break down the walls my heart is hidden behind. Break me out of every shell Ive never known I had. Break my heart for what breaks yours. I want to be one in spirit one in desire. Teach me to love the ones you love. Come to me and whisper sweet things in my ears. Open my heart and all that is hidden within to allow the love to spill forth and bring light and life. I want to be more like you. I need you more than ever. You saw my desperation and you did not leave me in my times of despair. You have never failed me. You dont just love me but you give me hope as well. My hope is in you, my all consuming fire. I pray I would wake to you singing over me, dream of you all night and sleep in your arms. I will not be afraid of the terrors of the night nor the arrow that flies in the day no evil will conquer me and no plague will come near my home. You are my refuge and shelter, I run to you. For your delight is in me you rejoice over me with singing and your love will calm all my fears. Everyday your faithfulness guides me, everyday I am amazed at your love. You always protect always trust always hope. I cant go anywhere that you cannot reach me, your arm is always long enough to rescue me especially when I need rescued from myself. Never could I comeaccross someone as devoted as you, nor in all my searching find someone who brings joy, peace, patience, hope, and love. I trust you, So be it.
