365 Pray it, Read it, Speak it: Daily Devotional

By Evangelist Detra Lewis

This book was written during one of the toughest trials in my life as I watched daily my aunt who I loved like my own mother battled adversity. I watched as she was ushered into the presence of God as God called her home. I will never forget the time we spent together in the summer of 2022. This book, 365 Pray It, Read It, Speak It, reminds you daily that your voice has power--granted and given to you by God Almighty.

A letter to my aunt Gloria,

Thank you, Auntie, for all you have been to me in my entire life. You loved me when I didn't feel loved. You told me I was pretty when I didn't feel pretty. You counted me in when others counted me out. My greatest childhood memories came from you. And so many times, you looked at me like you were so proud of me. It was during my time of testing as I watched you battle many obstacles and your health decline that God poured into me daily with words and prayers that would encourage many. Because of you, Auntie, I had the strength and the will to write this book. I love you, Auntie Gloria Jean, and I will cherish every moment I spent with you forever.

Love,

Your niece Pooh, Detra

Words from the Author

About the Author

Introduction

Enter into the Glory of the Lord

Be careful of nothing, but in everything and supplication with Thanksgiving let your request be made known to God.

—Philippians 4:6–7

The word of God says we shall have what we say. This daily devotional is to encourage and help and bless you to speak positivity into your life daily through prayer and God's Word. What's in our minds and hearts comes out through our mouths. So if we can fill our minds and hearts with His Word, then our mouths will follow. Remember our tongue is the most powerful tool we possess. According to Proverbs 18:21, Death and Life are in the power of the tongue. Speak life into yourself daily with this devotional.

Many blessings,

Evangelist Lewis

Saved by the Glory of the Lord

No One Is Perfect, but with Jesus as Our Savior, We Are Whole

Father God, I want to thank You for creating me in Your image. In spite of my flaws, mistakes, and mishaps, thank You for still loving me. For still extending Your grace and mercy toward me.

So I claim 100 percent healing over sickness and disease in my life and command them to leave my body now in Jesus's mighty name!
