August
1, 2010 - Speak it out:
Lord, give us ears to hear. Open our eyes and our hearts and
fill our hungry souls with Your pure and simple truth. We are
hungry and desire to learn your ways and to share them with
a starving world searching for You. Help us to remove our masks
and to step into a life of joy and peace in the truth of You.
Jesus, we need you more than anything else we could ask for.
Acts 28:27 - For the heart of this people is waxed
gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have
they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear
with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should
be converted, and I should heal them.

Enable by your grace to put away our old ways, and habits, that

the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and
true holiness.

August
3, 2010 - Speak it out:
Lord, give us wisdom, strength and the courage, to speak your
truth in love. Forgive us for backing down and watering down your
truth, simply to appease those who want to live in opposition
to it. Holy Spirit, reveal your truth to us, and help us to share
that truth with others in love. Soften their hearts, that they
may receive your truth and be free. 2 Timothy 2:25 - In
meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure
will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth. |

You are our salvation. Through Jesus Christ Your Son we have been
given new life, freedom, and mercy. We praise you for the compassion
and patience that you extend towards us. We are trusting in the
work of Your hands. Continue to create us in Your Holy image.
Romans 8:3-4 - For what the law could not do, in that
it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who
walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. |

Let my heart not be deceived. Your ways Lord are perfect and You
do not change. I trust in Your principles and know that You have
given them, for me to follow out of Your great love. I choose
to obey Your word and apply it to my life today. Isaiah 48:18
- O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then
had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves
of the sea |

August
6, 2010 - Speak it out:
We thank you Lord for your faithfulness. In Your presence is fullness
of joy, regardless of the circumstances that surround. Continue
to lead us, and help us to receive with joy your wisdom and instruction
in whatever form it comes. Open our eyes and our hearts, help
us to see through the sorrows and the joy, that You are doing
a complete and perfect work within our souls. James 1:2-4 -
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect
and entire, wanting nothing. |

August
7, 2010 - Speak it out:
Lord forgive us for wandering away from your principles and allowing
teachings contrary to Your truth to divide us. Your words are
life to us, and Your truth sets us free. Our hearts joyfully embrace
them. Thank you for allowing us to know you personally and intimately,
and for being our friend. Forgive us for taking you for granted
and becoming so comfortable in the relationship, that we have
forgotten that You are God; You are Holy; You are the final Authority
concerning all things. Hebrews 12:28 - Wherefore we
receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace,
whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. |

August
8, 2010 - Speak it out:
Cleanse our hearts and our minds. Give us the strength and the
wisdom to turn away from any thoughts that are not pure and holy,
true, and just, so that we are not overtaken with a sinful act
against you. You know us better than we know ourselves, and there
is nothing that we can hide from you. We make a choice today,
to nurture all that is good and allow Your word to reign in our
hearts and thoughts, so that our actions will bring glory to You.
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things
are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these things. |

August
9, 2010 - Speak it out:
You are our provider. We trust You to meet our every need. We
seek what You desire for our lives, they belong to You. Help us
to remain focused on the path you have placed us on. Help us to
enjoy each moment to its fullest. We can accomplish all things
through Christ who gives us the ability. Matthew 6:33 -
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you. |

August
10, 2010 - Speak it out:
As we begin this new day, we thank You for the hope and assurance
we have for the future. You are our treasure, our reality, our
hope. We thank You for this life, and all the blessings surrounding
it, but this world is not our final destination. We long for the
day we will see You face to face. Whatever we may face today,
we know we are secure in Your capable hands. James 4:14 -
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is
your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time,
and then vanisheth away. |

August
11, 2010 - Speak it out:
Lord You know my every thought and my words, before I even speak
them. Search out the hidden places that no one sees and if there
be anything unpleasing to You, remove it. It is You I desire to
impress and to please with my life. You know the good and the
bad of me and I pray you will continue working in the obvious
and the hidden parts of my life. Psalm 139:23-24 - Search
me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: and
see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

12 2010 - Speak it out:
Lord, rain down on our hearts refreshing our souls saturating
them with your sweet Spirit. We thank you for new mercy each and
every morning. You truly turn our mourning into new mornings.
You sweep away our fears and anxieties and quench our thirst with
Your living water. To You we will sing praises forever, our Savior,
our Redeemer, healer of our souls. Make our lives living testimonies
of Your goodness, mercy, and love. You are our hope, and the hope
for the world. Isaiah 59:19 - So shall they fear the
name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising
of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit
of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. |

August
13, 2010 - Speak it out:
Lord, when the difficult times come in our lives, we look to you
for wisdom and truth. We depend upon your strength and ability
to see us through. What appears to be a failure, or setback, is
but another opportunity for us to be corrected, taught, and to
grow more like you. Take the situation we face today and turn
it around and bring good from it. Help us to recognize the opportunity,
which lies in the midst of our adversity. In Jesus name we ask
and believe. Psalm 34:19 - Many are the afflictions
of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

Thank you for the gift of salvation and for loving and accepting
us. There is nothing we can do to earn it, You have given it freely
to us all. Your mercy and grace opens every door. Forgive us for
becoming so focused on what we are doing and seeking to follow
doctrine instead of Your will. It is all about You and we give
You all the glory and the honor. Ephesians 2:8-9 - For
by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves:
it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

August
15, 2010 - Speak it out:
Give me the ability to love with Your love, to impart Your compassion
and understanding to others. Forgive me for the finger pointing
I have done, that finger certainly points back at me. It is my
desire to obey Your will and to allow Your love to be reflected
in my life. Uncover my lamp and shine through me today. Isaiah
58:9-11 - Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer;
thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away
from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger,
and speaking vanity; And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry,
and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity,
and thy darkness be as the noon day: And the LORD shall guide
thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat
thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a
spring of water, whose waters fail not. |

are capable of working every problem for good according to Your
purpose. Change us; and help us to remain focused on Your truth
and the words that come from Your mouth. They are life to us,
in Jesus name. Matthew 4:4 - But he answered and said,
It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every

I am thankful for all the many blessings You have brought to my
life. You have however witnessed my disappointments; I cannot
hide them from you. Forgive me for the times I did not trust in
Your ability. I know that in all things, my best is what you desire.

will and your purpose. Flood my soul with your love; let me not
forget, that each day with You, is one filled with joy and hope.

will always lead me safely. I lay my life before You and accept
with a joyful heart wherever you are taking me. In Your name I
ask. 2 Corinthians 5:7 - For we walk by faith,
not by sight. |
