Day 11

Prayer:
Father, your word tells me that my prayers are powerful. I confess that I don’t always feel righteous because of sin, hurts, and the things that the enemy says about me, so I have a hard time believing that my prayers are powerful. I need you to change the way that I see myself as your son/daughter. You tell us in Romans 5: 1 “Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” You made me righteous through my relationship with Christ. I could never be righteous apart from Christ, so thank you for giving me the gift of being righteous. Help me to believe that I am righteous in your sight regardless of how I feel. As your son/daughter who is righteous in your sight, you say that my prayer is powerful in its effect. I confess that I’ve believed lies that my prayers are not powerful. I’ve allowed the enemy to tell me that you hear and answer other people’s prayers but not mine. I’ve even believed the lie that my prayers don’t make a difference. Father, I ask that you set me free from those lies and give me faith to believe that my prayers are powerful, because you chose prayer to accomplish your will on earth. In Jesus’ name, amen.
