ADONAI OSENU
The LORD Our Maker
from You Version
Psalm 95.6
PRAYER
The LORD My Maker, I praise You. You saw me when I was still formless, and You knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Thank You for creating me in Your image and breathing Your living Spirit into me. You know every one of my hidden thoughts and desires; no one else knows me so intimately.
Forgive me when I fail to appreciate the way You have designed me and when I fail to see the worth of others. Forgive me when I am indifferent to life.
Teach me to fully accept and embrace exactly the way You have created and wired me. Mould me and empower me to walk into my destiny.
Because You are My Maker, I proudly declare that my existence is not random, nor an accident. I am fearfully and wonderfully made for a purpose that only I can fulfill.

EXERCISE 1:
TWO-WAY JOURNALING
Today’s writing is dedicated to The LORD Our Maker, distinct from Day 1 where we praised God as the Creator of “all things”. Our attention now shifts to the One who has intricately fashioned the unique YOU. Let’s welcome the Holy Spirit to guide you as you write. Record the dialogue in your journal.
[Part 1]
Dear Father / The LORD My Maker, …
[Part 2]
Dear child / (your name), …

EXERCISE 2:
DECLARATION
He is The LORD Your Maker. He has fashioned you in His image and for His purpose. How does this relate to the way you live today?
Because You are The LORD My Maker, I declare I can / I will / I am…
Speak your declaration aloud, directing it towards Him, yourself, and the universe, repeating it as many times as necessary until it becomes ingrained in your heart. Your declaration has the power to shatter the chains of limiting beliefs. This simple act will help rewire your brain and renew your mind for His intended purpose.

BLESSINGS
As Day 14 of HE draws to a close, my prayer for you is that you will come to a full realization of your divine worth, and continually bask in His delight.
