Weekly Verse

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him

(Col 3:10, KJV) 

Tuesday 10/7/25

Bible Reading
John 15:1-4, NLT
1 “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. 3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.

Devotion
Transformation doesn’t end with a single moment, it grows through connection. Jesus said, “Remain in me.” Real change happens when we stay close to Him, letting His life flow through us.

Pruning may feel painful, but it’s proof that God’s still working. Every cut has purpose. Every season of waiting or loss can lead to more fruit when we remain in Him.
Prayer
1. WORSHIP

God, You are not limited by setting or circumstance.
You are just as present in the desert as You are on the mountain.
You don’t wait for perfect conditions to show up; You step into the ordinary and make it holy.

You are the God who speaks with clarity.
The God who calls by name.
The God who breaks in and reminds us who You are.

You are not hidden. You are not silent.
You see, You speak, and You move.
You lead with fire. You speak with authority. You act with purpose.

There is no one like You.
No one else sees what You see or knows what You know.
You are wise. You are good. You are near.

You don’t just pass by, but You invite us to come closer.
And when we do, everything changes.

2. REPENTANCE & SURRENDER

Lord, I hear You.
And today I stop resisting.
I lay down anything that’s been slowing me down.

I repent for shrinking back when You’ve called me forward.
For letting fear shape my response instead of faith.
For assuming You were looking for someone stronger, smarter, or better.

I surrender the story I’ve told myself - the one where I’m not enough.
I surrender the timeline I thought You had to follow.
I surrender the small view I’ve had of what You can do through me.

You don’t need me to be impressive.
You need me to be available.

So I take off the sandals of hesitation and doubt.
I recognize the ground beneath me is holy - not because I’m here, but because You are.
You’re calling, and I’m listening.
I may not know all the steps, but I trust the One who does.

3. INTERCESSION

God, I lift up others You’re calling right now.
The ones who’ve been wandering. The ones who feel forgotten. The ones who’ve gone quiet.

Remind them You still have a plan.
Remind them that purpose doesn’t expire.
Remind them that the wilderness is not a waste.

For the ones who feel too broken - bring healing and hope.
For the ones afraid to dream again - awaken boldness.
For the ones quietly showing up each day - remind them You see every moment.

I pray for leaders who are carrying people like Moses did.
Lead them with clarity.
Sustain them with joy.
Fill them with wisdom that doesn’t run dry.

And for the discouraged…
The ones who’ve been waiting and wondering…
Let this be the season they hear You call their name again.

4. TRANSFORMATION

Lord, I don’t want to just hear the call, I want to walk in it.
Let today mark a turning point.

No more excuses. No more delay. 
You’ve called me, and that’s enough.
If You’re going with me, I have what I need.

Transform my thoughts from “I can’t” to “You already are.”
Transform my posture from survival to expectation.
I don’t want to settle for safe when You’re leading me into something significant.

Shape me into someone who says “yes” - fully, freely, boldly.
Not because I’ve arrived, but because You’ve already gone before me.

I am called.
I am equipped.
I am ready to step into what You’ve prepared.

5. PRAISE FOR WHAT YOU’VE DONE

God, thank You for every moment You were working behind the scenes.
Thank You for speaking when I least expected it.
Thank You for trusting me with something that matters.

You never stopped seeing me.
You never stopped forming me.
Even when I didn’t understand the season, You were preparing me for the next one.

I praise You for the open doors.
I praise You for showing me that You still choose ordinary people for extraordinary things.

You’re the God who speaks in fire, but also the God who speaks in quiet places.
You’ve never been absent. You’ve always been faithful.

And I believe the best You’ve planned is still ahead.
So I praise You not just for what You’ve done — but for what You’re about to do.



6. Contemplation
Sit quietly and reflect on where you were thirty days ago: your hopes, your struggles, your prayers.
  • Ask yourself: What has God changed in me through this month? 
  • What needs to keep changing as I walk forward?

Bible Reading
Matthew 14:28–31, NLT
28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”
29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said.
So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”
Devotion
Peter experienced transformation in motion. He left the safety of the boat because Jesus said one word: “Come.” For a few steps, faith lifted him above everything that should have pulled him under. But when fear took over, he started to sink… and even then, Jesus reached out His hand.

Transformation is rarely a single moment; it’s a series of steps, stumbles, and rescues. Every time we say “yes” to Jesus, He calls us higher. Even when we fall, His hand is still there.
Prayer
1. WORSHIP & ADORATION

Before you ask anything, take a moment to lift Him up. This is not about your need, this is about who He is. Let worship rise first.

________________________________________

Lord, You are holy. You are righteous in all Your ways and just in all Your judgments.You reign with power and wisdom. You speak, and it is done. You command the hosts of heaven, and nothing can stand against You. God, You are the One who formed the mountains and tells the sea where to stop.

You stretch out the heavens like a curtain and call the stars by name. You number the days of man and know the thoughts of every heart. You sit enthroned above the circle of the earth, and yet You draw near to those who fear You.

Lord, You are the One who gives breath to the weary and strength to the faint. You raise the poor from the dust and lift the broken from the ash heap. You heal the sick. You bind up wounds. You restore what was lost. You cover Your people with mercy and surround them with songs of deliverance.

God, You are not slow. You are not absent. You are faithful to keep every promise. You are mighty to save, rich in mercy, and full of compassion. You do not change. You do not forget. You do not fail. You are worthy of all glory. You are worthy of all honor. You are worthy of every breath of praise. There is none beside You, and there never will be.


2. REPENTANCE & SURRENDER

Lord, I come to You with open hands and a yielded heart. You see what no one else sees. You know what I’ve carried in silence. You know the weight I’ve tried to hold while still smiling on the outside. And You are not distant from my struggle. You are near to the heavy-hearted. God, forgive me for holding on to things longer than I should have.

Forgive me for letting frustration speak louder than faith. Forgive me for comparing my story to someone else's. I repent for every time I let impatience rob me of peace. I repent for the days I prayed once and gave up too quickly. You are the God who hears even the silent prayers. You are the one who answers even after the delay. Your timing is perfect. Your ways are higher. And today, I choose to trust You again.

I surrender what I cannot control. I surrender what I’ve been trying to fix on my own. I surrender every desire that has become louder than my devotion. I place it all at Your feet, not just as a request, but as an offering. Take the longing that aches in me. Take the question I still don’t have answers for. Take the timeline I’ve built in my head. I lay it down and I say, not my will, but Yours.

You are not withholding to punish me. You are working to prepare me. You are not absent in the waiting. You are shaping me in the waiting. So I will trust the process. I will trust the pruning. I will trust that what You are doing in me is just as important as what I’m asking from You. Lord, I surrender it all, fully, freely, and without conditions. Have Your way in me. Even if it costs me my own.


3. INTERCESSION

Before I bring my needs, I bring the needs of others. Lord, place names on my heart right now. Bring to mind the people who are hurting, the ones who are stuck, the ones who feel forgotten. Let this prayer not be rushed. Let this moment matter. Now Lord, I speak their names before You.

I call them out, one by one, believing You already know the need behind every name. You are not far off. You are not slow to respond. You are the Shepherd who leaves the ninety-nine to go after the one.

I intercede for those who feel like they’re running out of time. For those who are barely hanging on. For the parent who’s doing everything they know to do but still feels like they’re losing the battle. For the friend who’s smiling on the outside but crumbling on the inside. For the person who used to pray but hasn’t had the strength to pray in a while. Move on their behalf.

Give them peace where they’ve had panic. Give them rest where they’ve had unrest. Let healing break in like the morning light. Let answers rise up from places they thought were closed forever. God, I call out the names of those who need You now.

(Pause here. Speak their names aloud. Whisper them. Shout them. Just speak them. Stay here as long as you need.)

________________________________________

Touch the ones battling addiction. Touch the ones stuck in cycles they can’t break on their own. Touch the ones who feel unloved, unseen, unwanted. Cover every child who has drifted. Restore every marriage that feels like it’s slipping. Let them feel You in the middle of it all.

I lift up my spiritual leaders. Strengthen my pastor today. Let him be covered in peace, led by wisdom, and filled with boldness. Refresh him with joy. Guard him with grace. Let Your voice be clear in every decision he makes. Surround him with people who pray, and pour back into him what he has poured out. Let Your hand be strong on those who preach Your Word. On those who disciple, those who counsel, those who lead with tears and carry the weight of souls.

Protect them. Anoint them. Hold them steady. And now Lord, I speak faith over every name I’ve prayed. You are not finished. You are not limited. You are not confused. You are moving, even when I don’t see it yet. Let deliverance come. Let answers break through. Let testimonies rise from these intercessions. Because You are the God who hears. You are the God who remembers. You are the God who saves.


4. TRANSFORMATION

(This is the moment where you shift from intercession to personal breakthrough. This is where the cry becomes a declaration. Let God begin the work in you. Right here. Right now.)

________________________________________

Lord, I don’t want to just pray for change. I want to be changed. Transform me in the middle of this process. Not just when the answer comes, but while I’m still waiting. Make me stronger in the struggle. Make me more faithful in the fire. Take what the enemy meant to break me, and use it to build me. Take the pain that’s tried to define me, and turn it into purpose.

Don’t just fix what’s around me. Shift what’s inside me. I give You the places I’ve been hiding. The places that still hurt. The places that feel numb. Breathe on what’s been buried. Raise what has been dry. Heal what has been bleeding.

Let old habits break off me. Let bitterness be uprooted. Let fear lose its grip. Let faith begin to rise. I don’t just want to feel better. I want to be different. I don’t want to walk away from this moment the same. I want to carry a new sound. A new spirit. A new strength.

Let this be the moment where something breaks loose in me. Let this be the day where something shifts in my spirit. Let this be the hour where chains fall and joy returns.

Not because everything is fixed, but because I’ve been with You. I declare it now, transformation is happening in me. Not later. Not eventually. Now. Because You are the God who makes all things new.

5. PRAISE FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE

God, I thank You for every prayer You’ve already answered. I thank You for doors You opened and battles You fought that I didn’t even know were happening. You’ve been faithful before, and I know You will be faithful again.

You remembered me in moments when I didn’t even know how to pray. You lifted me when I was too weak to stand. You provided when I didn’t see a way. You protected me when I didn’t even realize I was in danger.

So I give You praise — not just for what I’ve asked for, but for what I already have. For peace in the middle of the storm. For strength that held me together. For mercy that met me every morning. I praise You because the answer is already in motion. I praise You because the healing has already begun.

I praise You because the breakthrough is already being written into my story. You are good, and Your mercy endures forever. You are faithful, and I will not forget what You’ve done. Let all that is within me bless Your holy name.

6. CONTEMPLATION

Sit quietly and picture yourself stepping out of the boat. The wind is loud, the waves are high, but Jesus is calling your name.

Ask yourself: What “boat” is He calling me out of right now? What step of faith feels risky but could grow my trust in Him if I take it?

Wednesday 10/1/25

Bible Reading
Mark 10:17, 21–22, NLT
17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
21 Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 At this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions.
Devotion
This young man was moral, wealthy, and eager, but he missed the moment. Jesus wasn’t trying to take something from him. He was trying to free him. Transformation requires letting go of what holds us back. His story challenges us to ask: What am I unwilling to release if Jesus asks for it?
Prayer
1. Worship & Adoration

Before you ask anything, take a moment to lift Him up.

You are high and lifted up.
You are clothed in glory.
You speak, and creation responds.
You command, and none can resist.
You are the Alpha and the Omega,
The Ancient of Days, the Righteous Judge.

Heaven is Your throne.
The earth is Your footstool.
All power belongs to You.
All glory flows from You.

You are wise in counsel, perfect in justice.
You do not faint or grow weary.
You are slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love.
You are the Lord, and there is no other.

2. Repentance & Surrender

Test me and try me.
Reveal the thoughts that do not please You.
Let Your light expose every hidden thing.

I repent for the sin I’ve entertained.
I repent for the pride I’ve defended.
I repent for the moments I moved without You.

Wash me, and I shall be clean.
Cleanse me from secret faults.
Renew a steadfast spirit within me.

I lay down the weight I’ve carried.
I lay down the control I’ve refused to release.
Let my life be an altar.
Let my surrender be complete.
Not my will, but Yours be done.

3. Intercession

Bring names before the Lord. Call them out and intercede for their breakthrough.

I lift up those who sit in darkness.
Those bound by addiction.
Those held by fear.
Those lost in deception.

Let the light of Your salvation break through.
Let the chains be loosed.
Let the prison doors be opened.
Let dead hearts be awakened by Your Spirit.

I bind the spirit of error.
I bind spiritual blindness.
I loose the power of truth.
I loose clarity, conviction, and peace.
I loose the drawing of the Holy Ghost.

Send laborers into the harvest.
Send fire to the pulpits.
Send boldness to every witness.
Let revival break out in homes, schools, and cities.

Preserve those who shepherd Your people.
Strengthen every pastor and leader.
Guard them from harm.
Keep them in the Word, and in the Spirit, and in the fear of the Lord.

4. Transformation

Shift now from intercession to personal breakthrough. Let this be the moment where God begins to change you.

Sanctify me by Your truth.
Your Word is truth.

Let the old nature be crucified.
Let the carnal mind be brought low.
Let every high thing that exalts itself against a knowledge of God be cast down.

Create in me a clean heart.
Renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Restore to me the joy of salvation.
Uphold me with Your Spirit.

I renounce every excuse.
I resist the pattern of this world.
I yield to the fire of refinement.

Let the fruit of the Spirit be seen in me.
Let love rule my motives.
Let peace govern my responses.
Let self-control subdue my flesh.

I choose holiness.
I choose truth.
I choose transformation.
Not by my strength but by Your Spirit.

5. Praise for What He Has Done

Now pause and thank Him for what He has already done, and for answers already on the way.

Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Forget not His benefits.

You have healed my body.
You have saved my soul.
You have preserved my mind.
You have lifted my head.

You led me through the valley.
You covered me in the storm.
You hid me in the cleft of the rock.
You brought me out with a strong hand.

You made a way where there was no way.
You set a table in the midst of my enemies.
You anointed me with oil, and my cup overflows.

You have never failed.
You have never forsaken.
You are not finished, and I praise You in advance.

For the doors You are opening.
For the healing that’s already begun.
For the answers already on the way.
I give You glory.

6. Contemplation

Sit quietly and picture Jesus looking at you with genuine love. Hear Him say, “One thing you lack…”

Ask yourself: What would He put His finger on in my life?

Thursday 10/2/25

Bible Reading
1 Kings 17:13-16, NLT
13 But Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid! Go ahead and do just what you’ve said, but make a little bread for me first. Then use what’s left to prepare a meal for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: There will always be flour and olive oil left in your containers until the time when the Lord sends rain and the crops grow again!”
15 So she did as Elijah said, and she and Elijah and her family continued to eat for many days. 16 There was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised through Elijah.
Devotion
This widow thought she was preparing her last meal, but God was preparing a miracle. When she obeyed with what little she had, God multiplied it. Transformation happens when scarcity meets surrender. God takes “not enough” and turns it into more than enough.
Prayer
1. Worship & Adoration

Before you ask anything, take a moment to lift Him up.

Jesus, You are clothed with majesty and strength.
You cover Yourself with light as with a garment.
You stretch out the heavens like a curtain.

You sit upon the circle of the earth.
The earth is Yours, and the fullness thereof.
The world and those who dwell in it.

You are the fountain of living waters.
You are the everlasting King.
You are the righteous Judge.
You are the faithful Witness.

Your dominion is an everlasting dominion.
Your kingdom will never be shaken.
Your glory fills the heavens.
Your power knows no end.

Let all the earth fear the Lord.
Let all the inhabitants stand in awe.
For You spoke, and it was done.
You commanded, and it stood fast.

2. Repentance & Surrender

You are near to those who are contrite.
You will not despise a broken spirit.
I fall on the mercy seat.
I plead the blood that speaks better things.

Forgive me where I have been divided.
Forgive me where I have been passive.
Forgive me where I have resisted Your voice.

Let me not lean on my own understanding.
Let me not follow the counsel of the ungodly.
Let me not walk in the stubbornness of my heart.

I present myself again as a living sacrifice.
Let the fire consume what does not belong.
Let Your will be done in earth and in me.

3. Intercession

Bring names before the Lord. Call them out and intercede for their breakthrough.

I cry out for the lost.
Rescue them before they fall.
Let none perish without hearing truth.
Let conviction visit them in the night.

Let the eyes of the blind be opened.
Let the ears of the deaf be unstopped.

I bind the deceiver.
I bind the strongman.
I bind every high thing that exalts itself against Your truth.

I loose the spirit of wisdom and revelation.
I loose deliverance from the power of sin.
I loose the fear of the Lord upon this generation.

Break into schools, prisons, offices, homes.
Send angelic help.
Send laborers into the harvest.
Send boldness to those who carry the Word.

I cover my leaders in prayer.
Strengthen them in the inner man.
Guard their hearts from offense.
Let their hands be steady in battle.

Let righteousness rise like the dawn.
Let the knowledge of the glory of the Lord cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.

4. Transformation

Shift now from intercession to personal breakthrough. Let this be the moment where God begins to change you.

I come boldly to the throne of grace.
Not to stay the same but to be changed.

Let the Word cut.
Let the fire purge.
Let the Spirit reshape.
Let the truth confront.

I put off the old nature with its deceitful desires.
I put on Christ, created in righteousness and true holiness.

Renew my mind.
Transform my desires.

Write Your law upon my heart.
Strengthen me in the inner man.

Let this day be marked by growth.
Let this moment be sealed with change.
Let this life be lived for Your glory alone.

5. Praise for What He Has Done

Now pause and thank Him for what He has already done, and for answers already on the way.

You have shown Yourself strong.
You have done great things.
You have worked wonders among us.

You broke my chains.
You lifted my soul from the pit.

You brought me out into a broad place.
You restored what the enemy devoured.
You made a way in the wilderness.

You sustained me when I should have fallen.
You preserved me when I could not see the danger.
You answered before I called.
You were faithful when I was not.

Now I give You thanks for what You’ve already begun.
For the healing that is manifesting.
For the prodigal that is turning.
For the promise that is maturing.
For the miracle that is unfolding.

You are not done.
You are not late.
You are not limited.

And I give You praise! 

6. Contemplation

Sit quietly and think about the “last handful of flour” in your life - the area where you feel like you’ve run out.

Ask yourself: Where is God inviting me to trust Him with the little I have?

Friday 10/3/25

Bible Reading
Acts 16:25-26, NLT
25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. 26 Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!
Devotion
Paul and Silas were beaten, chained, and locked away, but their worship couldn’t be silenced. When they sang, the prison shook. Their chains fell, and so did everyone else’s. Transformation doesn’t just set you free, it impacts those around you. Worship in the midnight hour can break more chains than you realize.
Prayer
1. Worship & Adoration

Before you ask anything, take a moment to lift Him up.

You are the Lord, strong and mighty.
You are the King of glory.
You rule in righteousness.
You reign in power.

You are the everlasting God.
You are holy in all Your ways.
You are clothed in splendor and majesty.
You sit above the circle of the earth.

Heaven is filled with Your praise.
The foundations of the deep obey Your voice.
The stars were set in place by Your word.
You uphold all things by the word of Your power.

There is none beside You.
There is none before You.
All creation testifies: You alone are God.

2. Repentance & Surrender

Now let this be a moment of repentance and surrender, laying down anything that stands in the way of God’s will.

I humble myself under Your mighty hand.
I confess my sin.
I confess every place where I’ve resisted Your leading.

Cleanse me, Lord.
Wash me with truth.
Let the Word search every hidden part of me.

Where my will has grown stubborn, break it.
Where my heart has grown callous, soften it.
Where my spirit has grown cold, ignite it.

I surrender again.
My plans.
My assumptions.
My timeline.

Not my will, but Yours.
Not my way, but Yours.

3. Intercession

Bring names before the Lord. Call them out and intercede for their breakthrough.

I lift up the ones who are drifting.
Bring them back, Lord.
Let conviction speak louder than compromise.
Let truth interrupt their plans.

I lift up those in despair.
Break the spirit of heaviness.
Let hope rise again.
Let peace guard their hearts and minds.

I pray for those in authority.
Give wisdom to lead.
Give courage to stand.
Give discernment in every decision.

I intercede for the lost.
Tear down every lie that blinds them.
Send light into the darkness.
Send laborers to their path.

Strengthen my church.
Cover my Pastor.
Guard the unity of the body.
Let the Word be preached with boldness.
Let lives be changed.

4. Transformation

Shift now from intercession to personal breakthrough. Let this be the moment where God begins to change you.

I submit to Your process.
I trust Your hand even when it cuts.
You are the Refiner.
You are the Potter.
Shape me again.

Where I’ve grown numb, awaken me.
Where I’ve grown distracted, refocus me.

Let the Word renew my mind.
Let the Spirit correct my thoughts.
Let the fear of the Lord drive out all compromise.

Produce what pleases You in me.
Let love be genuine.
Let faith be tested and found true.
Let holiness mark my life.

5. Praise for What He Has Done

Now pause and thank Him for what He has already done, and for answers already on the way.

I thank You for every battle You’ve already won.
For every prayer You’ve already answered.
For every door You’ve already opened.

You have been faithful.
You have been kind.
You have been patient and powerful.

You strengthened what I thought was finished.
You brought life where there was only ruin.

You made a way.
You stood in the fire with me.
You calmed the storm.
You delivered me from the snare.

And I praise You now for what’s ahead.
For the healing I haven’t seen yet.
For the breakthrough already in motion.
For the victory that’s already secured.

You are not finished.
You are not silent.
You are not slow.
You are faithful, and I give You praise.

6. Contemplation

Sit quietly and imagine yourself singing in the dark with Paul and Silas. What song would you lift?

Ask: Where do I feel chained right now, and how can worship become my weapon?

Saturday 10/4/25

Bible Reading
Luke 10:33-35, NLT
33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34 Going over to him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’
Devotion
Two religious men passed by, but the Samaritan stopped. Compassion transformed inconvenience into love in action. True transformation changes how we see people. We don’t just walk past, we step in. Love isn’t measured by what we feel but by what we do.
Prayer
1. Worship & Adoration

Before you ask anything, take a moment to lift Him up.

You are the Lord who sanctifies.
You are the God who sees.
You are the King who reigns forever.

The foundations tremble at Your voice.
Fire goes before You.
Glory surrounds You.

You are full of mercy.
You are rich in grace.
You are slow to anger.
You abound in steadfast love.

You are the One who was and is and is to come.
The earth is Yours and all its fullness.
The heavens declare Your glory.

Let everything that has breath praise You.
Let every voice confess You are Lord.
Let the nations tremble before Your name.
You alone are worthy of worship.

2. Repentance & Surrender

Now let this be a moment of repentance and surrender, laying down anything that stands in the way of God’s will.

Search me, O Lord.
Try my thoughts.
Test my motives.
See if there is anything unclean in me.

I repent for every careless word.
I repent for what I tolerated in secret.
I repent for resisting Your correction.

Cleanse my hands.
Purify my heart.
Break the agreements I’ve made with fear.

I surrender my will.
I lay down my rights.
I put the cross before me, and the world behind me.

Let me walk worthy of the call.
Let me be holy in conduct and speech.
Let me be quick to obey, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

I don’t want partial obedience.
I don’t want delayed obedience.
I want to walk upright before You.

3. Intercession

Bring names before the Lord. Call them out and intercede for their breakthrough.

I intercede for those bound in confusion.
For the one who has wandered from truth.
For the one caught in cycles of sin.

Let the light shine in their darkness.
Let the chains fall off at the sound of truth.
Let repentance grip their heart.

I call forth restoration.
I call home the backslider.
I call out the lie and declare the Word of the Lord.

I bind deception and division.
I bind addiction and torment.
I bind every spirit that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

I loose the Spirit of truth.
I loose freedom and clarity.
I loose healing in homes and minds.

Let there be peace in the streets.
Let there be righteousness in the land.
Let the fear of the Lord fall again.

Strengthen those who lead.
Give boldness to those who preach.
Cover those who carry the burden of souls.
Let the church be a pillar and ground of truth.

4. Transformation

Shift now from intercession to personal breakthrough. Let this be the moment where God begins to change you.

Search my inward parts.
Judge my hidden places.
Confront the places I’ve concealed.

Don’t let me walk in form without power.
Don’t let me profess without transformation.
Don’t let me settle where You called me to grow.

Let the old man be buried.
Let the Spirit have full dominion.
Let the fear of the Lord govern my decisions.

Discipline my desires.
Align my emotions.
Strengthen my will.

Let me love what You love.
Let me hate what You hate.
Let holiness mark every part of me.

Take me beyond surface-level change.
Let fruit remain.
Let purity increase.
Let Christ be formed in me.

5. Praise for What He Has Done

Now pause and thank Him for what He has already done, and for answers already on the way.

I bless You for Your faithfulness.
You have been my help.
You have carried me through fire and flood.
You have held me steady when I was surrounded.

You heard my cry.
You answered in power.
You stood between me and destruction.
You rebuked the devourer.

You brought beauty out of ashes.
You gave joy where mourning lived.
You restored what I thought was gone for good.

And I thank You for what You are still doing.
You are healing as I pray.
You are speaking as I listen.
You are moving before I even arrive.

Your hand is not shortened.
Your word will not return void.
You are the God who finishes what You start.
And I give You praise.

6. Contemplation
Sit quietly and picture the beaten man on the side of the road. Who does he look like in your life?

Ask: Where am I tempted to “walk by” instead of stop?

Bible Reading
Luke 24:15–16, 28–31, NLT
15 As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. 16 But God kept them from recognizing him.
28 By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey. Jesus acted as if he were going on, 29 but they begged him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting late.” So he went home with them. 30 As they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to them. 31 Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And at that moment he disappeared!
Devotion
The disciples were walking in disappointment, convinced hope was gone. But Jesus drew near even when they didn’t recognize Him. At the table, in the breaking of bread, their eyes were opened. Transformation often happens in ordinary moments when Jesus makes Himself known. Disappointment turns to recognition, and despair turns to hope.
Prayer
1. Worship & Adoration

Before you ask anything, take a moment to lift Him up.

You alone are God.
Before the mountains were formed You were God.
From everlasting to everlasting You reign.

The heavens declare Your glory.
The skies proclaim the work of Your hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech.
Night after night they reveal knowledge.

The foundations of the earth were laid by Your Word.
The sea knows its boundary because You set it.
The sun rises because You command it.

All authority is Yours.
All power is Yours.
All glory belongs to You alone.

I join the hosts of heaven and cry:
“Holy is the Lord!”
“The whole earth is full of His glory!”

2. Repentance & Surrender

Now let this be a moment of repentance and surrender, laying down anything that stands in the way of God’s will.

I turn from every way that is not pleasing to You.
I reject every thought that exalts itself above Your Word.

Wash me clean.
Purge me with hyssop.
Let the fire burn away all impurity.

Where I’ve grown cold, stir me again.
Where I’ve grown proud, humble me.
Where I’ve resisted, subdue me.

Let the old self be crucified.
Let the flesh be brought low.
Let the Spirit rise within me.

I give up my timeline.
I release my expectations.
I yield to Your will.

3. Intercession

Bring names before the Lord. Call them out and intercede for their breakthrough.

I stand in the gap.
I cry out for mercy.
I plead for souls.

Let eyes be opened.
Let hardened hearts be pierced by truth.

Call back the wanderers.
Snatch them from the fire.
Break every yoke of bondage.
Loose the prisoners from the pit.

I bind the power of darkness.
I bind the lies of the enemy.
I bind confusion and fear.

I loose light.
I loose peace.
I loose conviction and holy fire.

Let Your Spirit move through every home.
Let truth be planted in every heart.
Let light break through in every dark place.

Cover my family with Your presence.
Guide their steps in righteousness.
Let peace dwell in our house.
Let Your Word be the foundation we build on.

Strengthen every pastor.
Give wisdom to those who lead.
Guard them from discouragement.
Keep them anchored in truth.

Protect the church from division.
Preserve us in unity and love.
Let the gospel advance without hindrance.
Let Your purpose stand.

4. Transformation

Shift now from intercession to personal breakthrough. Let this be the moment where God begins to change you.

Search me, Lord.
Test me.
Expose what still resists You.
Reveal what needs to be uprooted.

Let Your Word cut deep.
Let it divide soul and spirit.
Let it judge the thoughts and intentions of my heart.

I renounce compromise.
I break agreement with apathy.
I reject double-mindedness.

Let my mind be renewed.
Let my desires be purified.
Let my actions align with truth.

I choose the narrow way.
I choose the cross over comfort.
I choose obedience over excuse.

Change me from glory to glory.
Refine me until You see Your image in me.
Let me reflect the holiness of the One who called me.

5. Praise for What He Has Done

Now pause and thank Him for what He has already done, and for answers already on the way.

You are the God who brought me out.
You are the One who made a way.
You opened doors no man could shut.

You healed what was broken.
You delivered me from fear.

You restored what was lost.
You lifted my head.
You calmed the storm.
You answered the cry of my heart.

You have been my portion.
You have been my shelter.
You have been my strength.

And I praise You not only for what I’ve seen but for what You’ve already ordained.
For what’s already shifting.
For what’s already coming.

You are faithful.
You are true.
You are the God who finishes what You start.

6. Contemplation
Sit quietly and picture yourself walking the road, weighed down with disappointment. Imagine Jesus joining you, even if you don’t recognize Him at first.

Ask: Where might He already be walking with me right now, unnoticed?
