Wednesday Prayer Pattern

Years ago, I read Neal T. Anderson’s book, “Victory over the Darkness.” One of the most powerful parts of the book was a list of scriptural statements that reaffirm who I am in Christ. I typed a copy and put it over the sun visor in my car. Each day I read that list out loud to remind myself of how God sees me. I called it my spiritual vitamins because they strengthened me. You can make your own list based on scripture the Lord leads you to. I modified the list through the years and I am including it here.
