Scripture + Prayer + Declaration

Scripture: “Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” – Psalm 81:10

Prayer: Father, thank You for the story You’ve written in me. I surrender it back to You.
Teach me to discern—not just what to say, but when to say it.
Make me bold when You lead, quiet when You ask, and always in tune with Your Spirit.
Let my voice be a first responder for healing in someone else’s life.

Declaration: God, You said, “Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” Therefore, I am Spirit-led and I will speak with boldness. {insert your name}, you are discerning and you will unlock hope through your testimony.
