PRAYER

Father, I believe that Your Word is eternal and does not change. When You send forth Your Word, it always produces fruit. I can rest assured that Your Word will accomplish all that You want it to and it will prosper everywhere You send it. Holy Spirit, teach me to agree with Your Word on a heart level. Take the things that I have learned and establish them in my heart. Father, I not only want to believe in Your Word, but I choose to make the change to believe into your Word. I want Your Word to change me from the inside out.
