Psalm 126:2-3
2 We were filled with laughter,
    and we sang for joy.
And the other nations said,
    “What amazing things the Lord has done for them.”
3 Yes, the Lord has done amazing things for us!
    What joy!

Todays Confession: Joy, Laughter, Overflow—Sealing the Fast with Rejoicing
“I declare that the joy of the Lord is my strength, and my
mouth is filled with laughter as God does great things for me
(Nehemiah 8:10; Psalm 126:2–3).”

“I confess that my cup runneth over, and I enter this new season
with rejoicing, thanksgiving, and songs of deliverance. In His
presence is fullness of joy (Psalms 23:5, 32:7, 16:11).”

Paul’s Prayers
PRAYER #1 : EPHESIANS 1:17–20
Father, I pray that You would grant me a spirit of wisdom and
revelation of insight into mysteries and secrets in the deep and
intimate knowledge of You. Flood the eyes of my heart with
light, so that I can know and understand the hope to which
You have called me and how rich is Your glorious inheritance
in the saints—Your set-apart ones. And so that I can know
and understand what is the immeasurable, unlimited, and surpassing greatness of Your power in and for me, who believes, as demonstrated in the working of Your mighty strength, which
You exerted in Christ when You raised Him from the dead and
seated Him at Your own right hand in heavenly places.


PRAYER #2: EPHESIANS 3:14–19
I bow my knees before You, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
of Whom every family in Heaven and on Earth is named.
May You grant me out of the rich treasury of Your glory to be
strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner
man by the Holy Spirit, Himself indwelling my innermost
being and personality. May Christ, through faith, actually
dwell—settle down, abide, make—His permanent home in my
heart. May I be rooted deep in love and founded securely on
love. That I may have the power and be strong to apprehend
and grasp with all the saints—God’s devoted people—the experience of that love—what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it. That I may really come to know—practically,
through experience for myself—the love of Christ, which far
surpasses mere knowledge without experience. That I may be
filled through all my being unto all the fullness of God. That I
may have the richest measure of the divine Presence and become
a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself!


PRAYER #3 : COLOSSIANS 1:9–12
Father, I pray and make special request, asking that I may be
filled with the full, deep and clear knowledge of Your will in all
spiritual wisdom—in comprehensive insight into the ways and
purposes of God—and in understanding and discernment of
spiritual things. That I may walk, live and conduct myself in a
manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to You and desiring
to please You in all things, bearing fruit in every good work
and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge
of God—with fuller, deeper and clearer insight, acquaintance
and recognition. I pray that I may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of Your glory, to exercise every kind of endurance and patience—perseverance
and forbearance with joy. I give thanks to You, Father, Who
has qualified and made me fit to share the portion, which is
the inheritance of the saints—God’s holy people in the Light.

The Lord is going to do great things in and through your life this year! We can't wait to hear the testimonies!
