A Prayer to Remember Who God Says I Am

Your Daily Prayer
About this episode

In a world where we define ourselves by our jobs, roles, and accomplishments, it’s easy to forget the most important truth about our identity—we are children of God. In today’s prayer and devotional, Kristine Brown takes us to Ephesians 1 to rediscover what God says about who we are: loved, chosen, adopted into His family, and showered with His kindness. If life has worn you down and you’ve been living from a place of defeat instead of victory, this prayer will help you stand tall and confident in your God-given identity.


Main Takeaways

  • Your true identity is not found in titles, roles, or accomplishments—it’s found in being a child of God.

  • Ephesians 1 reminds us that we are:

    1. Loved and chosen before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4)

    2. Adopted into God’s family through Christ (Ephesians 1:5)

    3. Showered with God’s kindness, wisdom, and understanding (Ephesians 1:8)

  • When we remember who God says we are, we can face challenges from a place of victory rather than defeat.

  • God’s light floods our hearts so we can live with confident hope as His rich and glorious inheritance.


Bible Verse Reference

  • Ephesians 1:18 – “I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.”
