## Written prayer

Dear Lord, when the problems and challenges in my life seem as big as Goliath I will mimic the thoughts and actions of David. I will declare, “What is this problem in front of me that thinks it’s bigger than the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob? Who are these individuals that think they can stop the plans of God for my life?” No! I will not back down! Lord, I thank You, like David and his sling, You too have given me my unique and special gifting to overcome any challenges I face! I will not force myself to put on strategies and beliefs that have not been tested in my faith walk. When the problem approaches me like Goliath in the field of battle, I will work with what I know has been proven time and time again... my faith and trust in You God. With my feet planted and my eyes fixed on my target, I will give it all I have and let my faith and works fly! As they collide with the enemy in front of me I will let out a Hallelujah because it has no choice but to fall. I decree that all Giants must fall at the feet of my Heavenly Father! This is my truth, this is my declaration!

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
