And he said,

Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt.

Get you down thither, and buy for us from thence, that we may live and not die.

Genesis 42, 2.

Heavenly Father, today I choose to praise you, Lord,

in the midst of famines, recessions, and lack throughout the nation

and in other countries, because I know that I will not be affected.

You've given me divine strategy to experience abundance and provision.

I praise you, Lord, for the simple fact that in the economy of heaven there is no such

thing as a recession. I declare that as your child, you give me access to your resources that

never run out. Therefore, I will position myself for increase.

I will go to the places where your provision and peace are in abundance.

I confess that when I come in contact with those who've wronged me,

I will not use my position of power and influence to get revenge,

but instead we'll use it to show grace and forgiveness, generosity, and kindness.

Every good gift comes from you, God, and with this truth I will remind myself that I am blessed to be a blessing.

I will remind myself that I walk through open doors because I am called to help others walk through them. Hallelujah. I thank you, God, that opportunities and increase

are all around me. In Jesus' name. Amen.
