Week 3 Focus: Understanding the Capacity to Love
Day 20: "Run YOUR Race!"
Day 20 Scripture:
John 21:21-22 AMP
So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man [what is in his future]?” 22Jesus said to him, “If I want him to stay alive until I come [again], what is that to you? You follow Me!
Confession:
I am developed in the fruit of God's Spirit.​
People get the overflow of my relationship with God! When I see people, I am genuinely the embodiment of love to them. I am patient and do not make people feel unimportant. Kindness is my natural response. I do not envy anyone, nor am I jealous of anything anyone has. What God has for me is for me and I am sincerely elated for others' successes and blessings. I live selflessly... always seeking to bless others above myself. I always tell the truth. I run to truth and away from gossip, rumors and lies. I choose not to be easily angered and I release any angry emotions to God before the end of the day. I am quick to forgive and I only allow my mind to meditate on good thoughts. God has filled me with hope, renewed my dreams and caused me to believe beyond what I see. I have enduring faith and I will see the manifestation of God's Goodness in my life because I willingly and wholeheartedly obey Him, in Jesus' name.
Day 20
PRAYER
Father,
I confess that sometimes I take my eyes off of where I am to look at where someone else is going. Selah.
I confess that there have been times when I allowed fear of being passed up, left behind or forgotten to paralyze my diligence and distract me from my purpose.
I confess that many times I've allowed feelings of insecurity to convince me that I am of less value than someone else'
but...
Father, I see in Your Word that You are not concerned with any of those things. You don't stack me up next to people... You hold me up next to Your Word and Your Word releases me from the strain of striving with people - Hallelujah!
​
I declare that I'm grateful for what others have.
I'm grateful for me.
I'm grateful for my life.
I'm grateful for Your design of me and for my assignment in this world.
I pray that this time I've got it. I won't come back to the place of comparison. I won't let anyone play mind games with me.
I WILL be content with such things as I have and Run My Own Race with Your Grace. I know You will promote me for my diligence in Your time.
I am who YOU say that I am, in Jesus' name. Amen!
