Father, we acknowledge our struggle is not against flesh and blood, for our Battle is against the forces of darkness.
And we cannot fight these battles in our strength,
We declare that You, Lord God, the Almighty, is with us, and in you, we have victory.
We declare that we will stand in confidence through hardships, testing and trials, for YOU have overcome the world.
We declare that we will not be overcome or paralyzed by fear.
We declare that the negative will not consume us, for We choose YOUR narrative.
We replace the:
Fear of failure with moving to ACTION.
Fear of lacking with openly receiving Your ABUNDANCE.
Fear of being alone with connecting to COMMUNITY and intimacy with you.
We replace FEAR with LIFE!
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the HOUSE of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:4-6 (ESV).
Even though we may face health challenges – We will speak of YOUR goodness in our lives and give thanks for healing.
Even though we may struggle in our relationships – We will hold on to the knowledge that YOU take joy in WHO we are and give thanks for reconciliation.
Even though we may face financial situation storms – We stand firm in the promise that YOU will provide and give thanks for your provision.
Even though we may feel isolated and alone – We will endure for you ARE WITH US. We give thanks that we have been adopted into your family, and you will never leave us.
Even though we are facing uncertainty – We will fix our eyes on YOU and give thanks that YOU are with us.
We declare just as David did in the Psalm: You are the one thing we crave; YOU are the one thing we seek above all else.
Even Though the road ahead may be long, difficult and even dangerous, You have given us the privilege of living with YOU every moment in YOUR HOUSE, in YOUR presence in the Kingdom, NOW.
We choose to be filled with awe.
We choose to delight in YOUR glory and grace.
We choose to live our lives so close to you and your presence.
Father, whatever our situation, whatever comes our way in 2022, we can say with utmost confidence: EVEN THOUGH…God is with us.

So timely! I couldn’t help laughing with delight at the last words because those were the exact words that stood out to me in a chapter reading yesterday that encouraged me & that I shared with someone as an encouragement for the day: “Even Though!” This is a great declaratory prayer, thank you!
