Provision Through Humility
Today's Scripture
They brought the jars to the widow and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing. 2 Kings 4:5–6, NIV
In 2 Kings 4, a poor widow had no money to pay her creditors who were coming to take her two sons as slaves. The prophet Elisha told her to borrow as many jars as she could from her neighbors and pour the little bit of oil she had into the jars. How did that make sense? But she took that first step of obedience, humbling herself before her neighbors, and never questioned the prophet’s word. Had she not kept pouring and pouring, she would have missed her miracle and lost her sons and livelihood.
Always do what God is asking you to do. The first steps of obedience may not bring change, but that doesn’t mean something is wrong. The good news is, you’re about to start pouring out what you have and suddenly the healing comes, suddenly you’re promoted, suddenly you meet the right person, suddenly you see the breakthrough. Don’t get discouraged. Don’t let pride get in the way and stop you. Keep walking in humility. Keep doing the right thing. You are close to your miracle.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for the gifts and talents and resources that You have already given me. Thank You that You can take what seems like it’s not enough and make it flow into abundance. I believe that You are going to multiply what I have and show out in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Gifts from Above
Today's Scripture
“…how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” Matthew 7:11, ESV
God is going to bring gifts across your path that you’ve never seen—forgiveness, favor, wisdom, mercy, abundance, relationships. They are gifts. You don’t have to force them out of God’s hands. You don’t have to talk God into giving them. You don’t have to perform good enough. Just be a receiver. “God, You promise that whom the Son sets free is free indeed. I receive that freedom right now. You say my latter days would be better than my former days. I receive a bright future. You say my children will be mighty in the land. I receive that by faith.” Now thoughts will whisper, “You’ve seen your best days. Nothing good is in your future.” You have a choice. You can let the gift sit there and think, “You’re probably right. I want to be blessed, but it’s never going to happen.” That’s self-sabotaging. Do yourself a favor and receive God’s far and beyond favor. “Heavenly Father, I receive the gifts, the promises, the abundance, the great relationships, a long healthy life, and a bountiful, productive, abundant year.”
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are constantly showing me Your goodness, with every good gift that comes into my life. Thank You that I can receive Your gifts of grace and believe the promises You have spoken are coming true. I will live today with an attitude of thankfulness and gratefulness. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Doors You’ve Closed
Today's Scripture
“Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut.” Revelation 3:8, ESV
It’s easy to lock doors to areas of our lives because of fear, because we think we don’t have the talent or qualifications, because of hurts, or because of mistakes we’ve made, times we’ve failed. You may have gone years with a locked door, thinking it could never happen. Your time is coming. You may have shut the door, but God is about to come through it. Don’t be surprised when doors open that you tried to keep closed. He’s going to present you with opportunities that seem way over your head. Don’t shrink back. You are well able. The fear may not leave, but you’re going to feel a new confidence, a new boldness—that’s the Most High God breathing in your direction. He’s about to take you where you could never go on your own. Those doors you closed didn’t stop your destiny. God knows what’s in you. He knows what you’re capable of. He’s not going to let fear or the negative things people have spoken over you hold you back. He’s about to do something better than you imagined.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are the doorkeeper of my life. Thank You that You have the power to open doors that I’ve closed and bring new opportunities that will take me to new levels. I believe this is a new day to be bold and break free from the limitations that I’ve set for myself. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

A Year of Favor
Today's Scripture
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4:18–19, NIV
Jesus knew the power of words to set the direction for our lives. He knew that you have to hear victory, abundance, healing, and freedom declared over you for it to come to pass. As you start 2026, I want to declare a blessing upon you. If you receive it into your spirit, it has the power to unleash God’s favor.
I declare this will be a year of God’s favor for you and your family, with healthy relationships and good friends, the right people who are ordained to help you reach your destiny. I declare you are blessed with wisdom, that you have clear direction, that you make good choices in life. I declare new doors are going to open, with unexpected blessings, good breaks, promotion, success, and creativity. I declare you are blessed with good health, with vitality and energy. I declare freedom from every bad habit, recovery for everything that was stolen. I declare that from this day forward you will experience a new sense of freedom, a new happiness, a new fulfillment. I declare you are blessed.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You for Your blessing and favor on my life in this coming year. Thank You that You are opening doors that I can’t open, putting me at the right place, bringing the right people, taking me where I could not go on my own. I declare that I am blessed. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”

Who or What Defines You?
Today's Scripture
The fear of human opinion disables; trusting in GOD protects you from that. Proverbs 29:25, MSG
We know that God calls us a masterpiece, valuable, fearfully and wonderfully made, but sometimes our circumstances contradict who God made us to be. It’s easy to let our environment change our identity. When we go through unfair situations and disappointments, when people walk away or talk negatively about us, we can lose who we are. We let those circumstances change how we see ourselves. We feel inferior, not attractive, not good enough. We’re adapting to the environment. But your environment doesn’t change what God says about you: “You’re blessed, favored, healthy, and free.” This is what faith is all about. You have to dig down deep and say, “My environment will not define me. I am who God says I am.”
Have you let negative circumstances change your identity? Shake off those lies, break those strongholds, and start seeing yourself as God sees you. You’re a history maker, a barrier breaker, successful, talented, and valuable. The dream God put in your heart is still on the way. You’re still going to become who God created you to be.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that I don’t have to look to someone else to tell me who I am, because You have already told me that I am Your masterpiece and prized possession. I declare that my identity and value is securely in Your hands and I’m not looking to others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
