Days of Deeper Prayer

DAY 5 OF 5

God created You to live life the way He intended. You are unique. You are essential. You are His child, His creation. You are beautiful in His sight. Yes, you

You are a bearer of fruit! Everywhere you go, you carry the life-giving presence of almighty God. God longs for you to grow in Him and to become the best you possible. I know you feel that same longing in the deepest part of your soul. The body of Christ is better when the real you shows up. We, the body of Christ, need the real you. Your world needs the real you.

The burden I have for God’s people is that they would get unstuck from a mundane or routine Christian life and embrace what God Almighty has for them—what His plan for them will mean for their lives right now, what His plan will mean for their families, and how it would affect the world around them. Our lives become unstuck when we understand God’s desire for us. When we begin to focus first on the kingdom of heaven and our true desire is to do His will, then and only then will real contentment, peace, and supernatural power flow naturally from our lives. 

In the end, it is all about God and His kingdom goals. And He is the One who will bring it to pass—not us!

We read Jesus’s words: “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). But He also said, “You, the real you, can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.” (See Philippians 4:13.) In other words, Jesus is saying, “If you do it My way, if you let Me work in you, I will flow out of you and through you every single day of your life, and the real you will show up!”

Apart from Him, we can’t do it! But with His leading, by the power of the Holy Spirit, He can transform our Christian lives into a life of power in Him. So He promises, “rivers of living water” (John 7:38). Living waters for you, your family and friends, and the world around you that is dying without a Savior. Waters that will bring life to any situation through the gateway of prayer. 

We hope this plan encouraged you.

About this Plan

Days of Deeper Prayer

When the eyes of your heart are enlightened, you cannot remain the same! God longs for you to learn what it means to walk on ground that you have prayed over, to show up every day relying on the promises in His Word and act upon them in the power of His Holy Spirit. Through prayer and reading God’s Word, you will enter into a richer prayer life.
