Break Forth Into Singing and Cry Aloud

Isaiah 54: Crying Out In Triumph

"Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud,

thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate

than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD." ~Isaiah 54:1

Father, I thank You for redeeming me. I thank You for taking every dead matter in my life and bringing abundant life into it. I thank You for exalting me before men as I wait on and depend on You. You are my Redeemer. Even when it looks like there is no hope- You are my Hope. I will believe in Your Word and will rejoice at Your command. Your Word brings life to my bones. You are the light of life and You have illuminated my soul with Your very Word. Thank You for reviving me.

Increase my faith. I will always make room for You and Your Word in my life. I will prepare myself for You while here on earth. I will expect and hope in You and Your Word. I will renew my mind in Your Word, which will strengthen and encourage me. I will allow Your Holy Spirit to transform my mind, which will sustain me and establish me.

Increase me and my family so that we will be a godly influence on all who surround us, whether near or far. May our godliness cause drastic, Divine changes to occur in the lives and environment of those surrounding us. I pray that Your Living Word would move through us and out into our community, city, state, country, world and universe. May Your Word, through us, cause the Kingdom of God to be manifested here on earth. Give us an understanding of the purposes of Your Kingdom. May they be manifested in and through us.

I thank you for taking away all traces of fear from my heart. The fear that tries to taunt me of my past has to retreat by Your Word. I am in covenant with You, and part of this covenant is that I will never be put to shame. You will never cause me to feel ashamed, be disappointed, be a reproach before all men, or be confused or humiliated. You are my Peace and my Hope. You are my Assurance and my Confidence. Your Word will cause me to forget all of those things that taunted me, disgraced me, harassed me and scorned me. I thank You that I am not a widow any longer, but I am now married to You. You are my covering. You will love me, provide for me and protect me. I have total confidence in You and Your Love.

I thank you for redeeming me. Thank you for coming into covenant with me and delivering me from the evil one. You are my Redeemer. You have bought me back from Satan with the precious blood of Your Son- Jesus Christ. You are my husband. You will avenge me. You will fight my battles for me. You will take revenge on my behalf. You are the Holy One, The Holy God of Israel. You are God over all the earth. God of all nations. Your Name shall be proclaimed throughout the entire universe. At the sound of Your name, nations will bow down and confess You are Lord of all.

Lord, I have been forsaken and abandoned by others. I have been hurt in my life, and it looked like I was going to be forsaken forever. I was ashamed, confused, hurt and rejected. But I have held on to Your Word. Your Word pulls me through and out of the pain I endure in my life. You are my Redeemer and Deliverer. You are the Redeemer and Deliverer of my past.

Father God, please forgive me for the things I have done against You. Forgive me for the idols I have worshiped in my life. Those things that I have put above You, causing You to turn from me. It seemed like I have been separated from You for so long - yet it was just for a moment in eternity. Your loving kindness prevents You from utterly throwing me away. Thank You, Lord, for seeking me out and bringing me back to You. Thank You for not leaving me and forsaking me. Your heart is full of love, compassion and pity toward me. This is why You will never utterly desert me.

I thank You, Lord, that Your Love is everlasting. Your mercy and pity toward me will never end. Yes, You have hid your very Presence from my life, and I was miserable then. But now, You have graced me with a never ending source of Favor and Goodness. I now belong to You. I am yours, and You are mine.

Father God, I thank You that You have promised never to destroy me. Wherever there is a temptation, You have provided a way of escape. If I follow Your Word, it will lead me out every time. You are full of pity and compassion. I thank you for having mercy on my soul.

Lord, I give praise to Your Holy name. Although the earth and all that is in it shall one day pass away- Your love and compassion for me will never cease. Nothing can ever withdraw Your goodness from me. Your faithfulness will never cease. Your Goodness can never be taken away from me. I have total confidence in You because I am in a covenant of peace with You, Jehovah, my Lord. This covenant of peace is a pledge from You that You will be with me. This is a promise of Your completeness, soundness, welfare, peace [safety; health, prosperity; tranquility, contentment] in my life. This covenant is unshakeable and shall never be removed. You will never fail me. Love never fails, because You are love. You made this pledge with me because of the deep love You have for me.

Sometimes life’s storms hit so hard and so often, I feel like I don’t get a chance to recover. It appears to all that I am losing this battle day by day. I search for You, but can not find any comfort. Nevertheless, deep in my heart I know that if I wait, You will step in and save me. You will cause my desolate places to become places of beauty. You will establish me with Your glory. This is Your promise to me.

Lord, I thank You, that You have taken a person like me and cause me to be precious in your sight. You have adorned me with precious stones and have caused me to become desired and valuable. Alll that is visible to men when they approach me- you have made precious in their sight. You are what makes me valuable. You and no one or nothing else.

Thank You, Father, for your covenant of peace. I thank you that my people, my children, my family will know You. They will be taught of You and will be accustomed to You- Jehovah my Lord. You have promised us great peace with You. This includes our welfare, safety, health, prosperity, tranquility, contentment, friendship with You and man- completeness and soundness. This is our inheritance from You.

You have justified me through the blood of Jesus Christ. This justification keep me far away from all oppression. I am free from distress and cruelty. I thank You for the assurance that I do not have to live in fear or terror. For you are with me. You have put me in a place far from all terror, destruction, ruin, dismay. I will not break. I am assured deep in my spirit that any terror, destruction, ruin, or dismay will never come near me, enter into or among me, draw toward me or come against me.

When others come against me, I know this is not from You. You are mine and I am Yours. I will fear no evil, for You are with me. I have confidence in our relationship and in our covenant. I have peace with You. I know that anyone who comes against me will be overthrown on my behalf, because You are My Redeemer.

I know that You are the creator of all. All things were made by Your hands and are in Your control. Good and evil must submit to You.

I thank you that no matter what devices anyone forms against me- You promise that it will have no power over me. It will not and can not succeed. You also promise that every one that stands against me and is stirred up against me- I have the right to condemn them as guilty. This right is my inheritance as a worshipper of Jehovah. This is the right I possess as one of Yours.
