Dear Heavenly Father,

I rejoice in how You created me as 

Your unique and loved child...

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
Psalm 139:13-14

You created everything and You brought 

all life into existence.

I am in awe of You.

I look forward to the day when the whole world will recognize You and stand in awe of You...

Let all the earth fear the Lord;
Let all the inhabitants of the world
stand in awe of Him.
Psalm 33:8

I look forward to today, because You have filled me with Your joy, which is my strength...

...for this day is holy to our Lord.
Do not sorrow,
for the joy of the Lord
is your strength.
Nehemiah 8:10

In all circumstances I will praise You Lord...

I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
Psalm 9:1

Please prompt me to share your marvelous works today with those that I encounter.

In the living name of Jesus I pray,

Amen.

The Trinity: Almighty God
(El Shaddai)

The LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God [El Shaddai];
walk before Me and be blameless."
Genesis 17:1

The Lord is Almighty God (El Shaddai), a name that carries two opposite ideas—sympathy and power. The name “El Shaddai” means “the powerful One,” but it also means “the tender One.” The name “Almighty” comes from the Hebrew word shad, meaning “the breast,” which is tender to nourish children. El Shaddai is tender to those who are hurting and needy. He tenderly listens to your problems, and He will comfort you. But remember, the chest is also the symbol of power and might. El Shaddai also has awesome power to solve problems. El Shaddai comes to you as He came to Abraham, asking you to trust and obey Him. El Shaddai is both tender to forgive your sin and powerful to deliver you from problems and oppression from sin.

El Shaddai, You are Almighty God. I confess and repent of my sins. Be powerful to forgive them through the blood of Christ (1 John 1:7), but also be tender to hold me close to Your amazing grace.

The name “Almighty” means “all sufficiency.” El Shaddai will be everything you need; trust Him and obey Him. Your needs or emergencies will not surprise Him. He has faced them before in others. He will comfort you in your pain when you cry to Him. But 

El Shaddai is also powerful; He can deliver you and give you victory. What do you need from Him today?

El Shaddai, I will be close to You. Be my intimate Companion to encourage me, and be my powerful God to provide for me. Amen.
