Claimed by God

Zusatztext

Make God's Promises Your Daily Declaration God has uniquely created each one of us. In the Scriptures, he has a lot to say about who we are and how we can live with fullness of hope. But have we become so informed by the world that we have forgotten we were first formed by the Creator of the world? Claimed by God helps you remember your identity as a daughter of God through thirty statements about the joy, confidence, and hope that God has instilled in you. These declarations are grounded in Scripture and supported by guided prayers that fuel your assurance, strength, and gratitude for God's unchanging love. Together they enable you to believe beyond what you can see in front of you. In each chapter, you will speak the declaration in an act of faith, read the Scripture passages, draw near to God in a closing prayer, and memorize the declarations that speak to your heart. These declarations aren't meant to stay on these pages. As you make them a part of your daily routine, you can declare God's promises over yourself as you start your day or as you drift off to sleep. Speak truths over your circumstances in moments of fear or doubt. If you need wisdom or discernment, make these words your prayer, inviting God's provision into each situation. As you allow truths from God's Word to permeate through your being, you'll find yourself closing in on your God-given identity, calling, and destiny. God has so much in store for you. With Claimed by God, step forward in faith and live according to his hope-filled promises.
