How We Start our Day

Blessings
- I am blessed with God’s supernatural wisdom.
- I am blessed with an obedient heart and with a positive outlook on life.
- I declare that any curse that has ever been spoken over me, any negative evil word that has ever come against me, is broken right now, in the name of Jesus.
- I am blessed with a strong will and with self-control and self-discipline.
- I am blessed with success, with supernatural strength, with promotion, and divine protection.
- I am blessed with creativity, with courage, with ability and with abundance.
- I am blessed with a great marriage, a great family, with good friends, with good health, and with faith, favor, and fulfillment.
- I am blessed in the city. I am blessed in the country. I am blessed when I go in. I am blessed when I come out.
- I declare that everything I put my hands to do work out for my good and for God’s glory.
- I declare that I am blessed!

A psalm. For giving grateful praise.
1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his[a];
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.
5 For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations. (From Bible Gateway)
