Today my friend Wendy Blight joins us. She has just released a new Bible study on 1 John, I Am Loved: Walking in the Fullness of God’s Love. She’s giving away a copy to one of you today!
Maybe you have days you don’t feel loved, even by God. On those days, Wendy invites us to live in truth. Today she shares a beautiful “I Am Loved Declaration.” Speak the words out loud. If you are struggling in this area, allow God’s word to silence the lie as truth soaks into your spiritual bones. ~ Suzie
I Am Loved Faith Declaration
Abba (Daddy) Father, I proclaim (declare as true) this day …
- I am forgiven redeemed, cleansed, and sanctified by the blood of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (1 John 1:7; Ephesians 1:7)
- I am an instrument of God’s righteousness, yielded to Him for His service and His glory. (Romans 6:13)
- I am a vessel of His goodness, mercy, love, and grace. (2 Corinthians 4:7-10)
- The enemy has no hold on me and no power over me. Fear cannot control me. Anxiety cannot overwhelm me. I am a blood-bought daughter of the One True God. (1 John 4:4, Revelation 12:11
- I will stand strong in the Commander of heaven’s armies. Every battle is His, and by His power, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper. (Psalm 91:7-8)
- I receive in all its fullness the mind of Christ, and I stand on and commit to walk in the truth that my heart, my mind, and my body belong to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:12-16)
- I am a covenant child of God Most High. Bought with the blood of Jesus. I will contend for my faith. I not waver. I will be bold and brave, standing confidently in who and Whose I am. (1 John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14-15; Psalm 91:13)
- I am a daughter of the Conquering King. Greater is He who lives in me than he who lives in the world. I know this. I believe this. I commit to live this. And because of this, I will live a life of victory that brings honor and glory and praise to my King. Amen.

I needed this today! There are times I don’t feel God’s presence and I wonder if I am truly saved. These scriptures along with Philippians 4:13 five me strength and hope.
Thank you Lord for using this platform to reach women like me who sometimes need a reminder whose child they are!
Cindy, I LOVE that God brought you here to affirm and confirm what He has been speaking to your heart. You are LOVED and SAVED. God, by the power of His Holy Spirit lives in you. He is always with you. Even when you can’t feel Him, He is there. That is why His Word is so valuable. When you can’t feel Him, dig into His Word. Pray these truths over your heart!! He will transform your thought life and your heart. 🙂
Wendy
Amen💗
Still learning about God”s unfailing love……
Always good advice for either a new Christian or a long time believer
Amen 💖 I struggle most days with the I am not loved or wanted, not by God, my children, my husband, my mom, or anyone else. I have been on an emotional, physical and mental roller-coaster for the last eight months. I know God is with me and loves me all the time,and my family. I have to remember Ephesians 6:13;Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground..
Thank you so much for this post..
God bless you lovely ladies and everyone reading this!!
Kandi, You are so loved by our Heavenly Father, Abba Daddy. Praying that God shields you from the lies of the enemy today and when that feeling you are unloved comes I pray that God will remind you of the truths in Wendy’s declaration, truths from His word. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God and are precious in His sight.
Thank you for this teaching. I often have self doubts…..
I love these declarations. Sounds like it will be a great book!
What great verses to remind us how loved we are and to whom we belong!
Thank you! I am looking forward to sharing this with the youth group -primarily of young ladies – that my husband & I lead.
Thank you for this important reminder that God truly loves us!
Your reminder of His truth about His love for me was much needsd today. Thank you
My foremost goal for 2018 is working on this. I am nearly 50 years old and I am just learning that Hiis love is not to be earned but is given freely. Every day is a struggle, and every day I work towards undoing the lies of legalism.
Thank you for helping me in this endeavor.
Wendy, Thank you so much for sharing the most important love we can receive and the person who gives it to us. I am so thankful our savior is alive and is with us every day.
You are so welcome! I too am thankful for Savior is alive and living in us, loving and empowering us every day.
Wendy
Thank you for this!
Thank you for this Powerful prayer of Love over us – Lord, help my unbelief. In Jesus name
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the words I needed today. I prayed for God to show me that there was good in me. Your words were a hopeful blessing.
Interestingly enough, I’d been telling the Lord how much I still need to learn about Him and His love for, and why it’s such a challenge to receive it from Him.
When one lives surrounded by abusive people (who place many conditions on their love) for most of one’s life, it becomes a challenge to know what real love is and be able to receive it, freely.
I’m hoping this book and audio helps with how to believe in and receive God’s love.
Thank you for this awesome declaration. I needed this reminder and I have been following both you and Wendy but I can’t afford the books . Fighting cancer, abuse, isolation from family etc. I live in Canada so I am grateful that I can get some of your teachings thru this and encouragement by email. God bless you both for the teachings you impart. I so want to embrace t.he love of my Jesus and wallow in it . It’s all I have and all I need for my fights and triumphs!!!
Thanks Wendy for your words of encouragement this morning. In January 2014, I experienced a stroke. I thank God that I don’t look like what I’ve gone through. My husband has start drinking excessively since the stroke, and has moved out of the bedroom into the living Room. Thanks again.
Renoda, Lifting you and your husband up in prayer this morning. Lord, I am lifting Renoda and her husband up to you for your precious touch. Touch Renoda’s body and heal the affects of the stroke, take away the desire and affects alcohol has on her husband. Lord, you are the God of reconcilliation, help them to remember the love they have for each other and how very much you love them both. I thank you,Lord that Renoda has this truth from God’s Word, shared by Wendy, to remind her daily how precious she is in your sight. Wrap her in love and light today. I thank you, Lord, for Renoda, and for all you are and will do through her life. In Jesus name I pray, Amen
Thank you so much for sharing this declaration. This is something I need to put up and read everyday. Growing up in a dysfunctional home has left me with insecurities. Although I have a wonderful Godly husband and children who love me, I still need reassurance. Staying in God’s word helps me. Praise God that he loves this flawed person!
Thank you! Wonderful words of encouragement!
These verse and Truth! Thank you!
What a wonderful Bible. We all need demi ders in so many ways. This sounds like amother beautiful way for God to breathe life in to us each day.
I need this because now that I have MS, a lot of times I don’t feel Love, just because of the toll this disease has taken on me. Thank you, much love and blessings.
Blanca, While I don’t have MS I have physical challenges and understand the struggle. Praying you feel his love and presence today-He loves and cherishes you so very much.
I don’t have MS as well but I do have chronic pain. Fighting the various military pharmacies over the years to get the Meds I need to keep my head above water plus feeling like a burden to my husband, I often feel unlovable. These scriptures add to the lessons God has been teaching me. I am learning that because I am in Christ , if I never do another thing for anyone I am still loved by my Abba. I can neither add or take away from that love. A truth I am learning day by day to absorb. Blanca, you can do this”
To speak out loud the promises of Jesus and confirm ,with gratitude ,the work done on the cross… blesses my day ! Thank you for sharing with me.
Although I may know it intellectually, it is a continual battle to remember that God unconditionally loves me. Thanks for the reminder!
Thank you for sharing the wisdom God has blessed you with. God Bless you and keep you always in His loving arms.
I love this declaration! It’s tough to get that firmly past just mental and down into the heart.
Thank you for this declaration! I am interested in the study! God Bless!
I have struggled with this my whole life. All I have ever wanted is for someone to love me, because I never felt loved by my dad. God protected me growing because the only man I dated became my husband, I could have faced a lot of pain otherwise. I always thought that would go away once I was married but it didn’t (as I’m sure you know.) I keep working toward this slowly but surely. Thank you for your encouragement!
Sweet Evelyn, I’m so sorry your earthly father didn’t love you. But, your heavenly Father does, more than you can every know. Promise me you will pray and declare these over your heart each and every day. God’s Word is living and active. When you speak it over your heart and mind, it WILL change you. Be persistent. Believe what you are praying over yourself because it is TRUTH from your father, the One who knit you together before you breathed a single breath. You are God’s beloved daughter. He loves you. I’m praying that one day soon, you will be confidently walking in that love!!
Wendy
Thank you, Wendy, I will.
I have posted it on my bedroom mirror to remind myself to pray it every morning.
I am His child created and loved by Him. Your study sounds amazing and would study it with a friend who would needs to hear this. In Him, Jewels

Sweet Evelyn, praying for you right now. Heavenly Father, thank You that You are El Roi the God who Sees. You see our sister as she suffers from autoimmune issues.

I love this. The ladies of Proverbs 31 Ministries are awesome. I participated in my first online study with Wendy. I have been hooked ever since. Thanks for sharing this! Loving the I Am Loved Bible Study. Blessings to you wonderful women of God!
Rena, so sweet to connect with you here. LOVE knowing you did our first Wendy OBS with Hidden Joy. I think it was the third one, and we only had about 800 women. I love our OBS community. So thankful you stopped by. It blesses me to know you are enjoying studying 1 John with our OBS family.
Wendy
I love that there are scripture declarations! Declaring out loud changes my thought life! I declare out loud and my heart begins to believe and changes my mindset! Thanks for these! I look forward to pouring the truths of your book into my life! Hoping to get a study at the church for women also! God bless you!
Tyra, YES!! Speaking and declaring God’s living and active Word over our hearts changes our thought life. I’m so thankful these have connected with your heart. God’s Word is always a game changer when we pray it over our lives.
Blessings,
Wendy
Love how you bring these verses to heart. God’s blessings
Love how you bring these verses to heart. God’s blessings
Thank you. That’s my desire. To bring God’s Word alive in our hearts as we pray it and declare it over ourselves. 🙂
Wendy
I really need to hear that I am loved growing up my mother was abusive she always told me she wish I had not been born and that I was so ugly nobody would ever love me even though I am in my fifties I still believe I am not loved sometimes
Oh, Ruth. I can identify with you. I had a mom similar to yours. For so long, I didn’t know about God or His lavish love for me. I want to encourage you to pray these truths over your heart each and every day. Dig into the Scriptures from where they come. Let them become a part of WHO YOU ARE!! God will bring them alive. What you think is what you will believe about yourself. Think on these things and you will believe them. 🙂
Wendy
This makes me want to laminate these and put them on my bathroom mirror as a daily reminder to verbally declare and believe that in am loved (whether I am feeling particularly loved or not)
Thank you for this devotion today!
I think that’s a great idea!! And, I love what you said. We should speak these truths over our lives every day. That way when the hard days come, we are already girded up with the truth of who we are, and we won’t listen to the lies of the evil one.
Wendy
I love that faith declaration and really needed it today. With all my heart I thank you for sharing it.
It’s always a blessing to know when God uses this declaration to minister to a woman’s heart. Thank you for letting us know. I pray He brings those declarations alive in your life in very real ways.
Blessings,
Wendy
You are so welcome! I’m so thankful God met you here and brought encouragement to your heart through this declaration!
Blessings,
Wendy
Love!!!
Thanks for giving us a opportunity to win
I love this and it was perfect for my life right now!
Don’t you love when God does that? His timing is perfect. Thank you for taking the time to let us know.
Wendy
I needed to hear this today! Thank you!
I certainly struggled with this issue this past weekend. Misery for myself and everyone around me.
Kathy, I’m sorry that you are struggling with walking confidently in who and Whose you are. I invite you to pray and speak these declarations over your heart and mind each and every day. Look up the Scriptures. God’s Word does not return void. When we pray it, God brings it alive in our lives and will do a transformational work through it. You are His beloved daughter. When you walking that truth, it will change your heart, your life and the lives of those around you!!
Blessings,
Wendy
Don’t you love how God’s timing is always perfect? Thanks for taking the time to stop by and let us know.
Blessings,
Wendy
Love the declaration! Would love to win. Thanks for the opportunity!
I needed this reminder today! Thank you for your words of encouragement and wisdom! God bless you and your ministry!
So thankful these spoke to your heart today.
Wendy
Thank you for these words of encouragement! Blessings
Thank you! I will declare these truths out loud every morning filling my spirit and heart. Bless all the ladies of Proverbs 31
Adrienne, you are so welcome. It blesses me to know you will be praying these truths over your heart and mind!! Thank you for sending sweet blessings to our P31 family. We covet all prayers. So thankful to connect with you.
Wendy
Wow those are some great promises. I have no doubt that God loves me, however, I often forget the depth of His love. Thank you for reminding me.
Delores, I pray these promises continually remind you of the depth of His love for you.
Blessings,
Wendy
I would love to win this book. I have trouble in this area and have to remind myself how much God loves me. Thanks for writing this book that is much needed.
Melinda, I pray that you will print this out and pray it over your heart and mind so you will never again doubt how much your Abba Father loves you!!
Blessings,
Wendy
Thank you for your encouraging words, and thx for the chance to win.
Really needed to be reminded of these powerful truths ! Thank you for speaking them into my life today !
Thank you for this!
What a powerful message today. I Am Loved online Bible Study now and it has truly blessed my life so much. Wendy’s words jump off the page into my heart, soul and mind. Thank you for your encouraging emails. What a Blessing!
Error correction in above— I am doing the IAm Loved online Bible study…
I am so excited with this study. God’s love is there just waiting for our hearts to grab it and tuck it in tight. I have always known through Scripture that God loves me but my heart could not grasp it. Thank you Wendy for your obedience to God in writing this book
Thanks for putting all of these verses together in one place. I often struggle with remembering God loves me because He does. It has nothing to do with anything I have done so I can’t lose His love.
Wow, this is so good and so needed right now. “I will stand strong in the Commander of heaven’s armies. Every battle is His, and by His power, no weapon formed against me shall ever prosper. (Psalm 91:7-8)” God fights my battles, all I need to do is be still.
We serve a Good, Good Father! Thanks for a chance to win!!
Thank you for the affirmations. They will really help. Today is a really bad day because my mom is having the police harass my sister over money she thinks she took. My sister has take care of her for years. Handled all her bills and expenses. My mom is 93 years old and has forgotten that she has all the recites. Her grandson and his wife want my moms money and house so they convinced her that they would take care of her, which consists of locking her in her house. She can’t operate the TV or microwave. They’ve changed the locks on the house so no one can check on her. They discontinued her alert system so if she falls no one will get to her. They did this same thing to her mother when they first got married. Abused her until the state put her in a nursing home and took away her house. Mom’s already given them so money money, cars, and other things. Today my sister has to try to think back of all the things mom had done to the house and everything else to turn into the Sheriff’s office by the evening . I just feel so down today and unloved by my mom. Please pray for my sister because this is causing her heart problems.
Praying His angels to help you, may He send you and your sister His peace. I will put you on a prayer board.
I’m the daughter of the the King of Kings and He is my protection, and He loves me. Love, love,love the I Am Loved OBS.
I know I am loved, but sometimes need reminders to live in light of that love.
Thank you for the opportunity to win this.
I definitely need to get serious about allowing God’s love to heal my heart fully and properly. I think the past hurts are still hiding inside my heart which leads to scepticism or bitterness but I need to move forward. I have to move forward so I can display God’s Love and power in my life the way He would want me to.
Oh, what a wonderful and truthful statements. I know that I am loved and everything I read but sometimes I need a friendly hand or voice that re mind me this. Thank you lovely sisters. I read the post and I printed it to read and pass it to my family. I loved it. Oh, I want win the book and DVD. Blessings!
Nydia, if you live in the U.S., you are the winner! I’ll send an email to you to confirm. Congratulations!
Oh I am very happy with this. thank you so much! Yes, I live in the U.S. I already sent my mailing address to you.
These are wonderful affirmations of faith. I will write them down and read and reread them, especially blood bought daughter of the King.
What an amazing way to remind ourselves we are loved…by His very Words!
Suzie, thank you for inviting me to share my new study “I Am Loved” and the Declaration with your friends. What an amazing group of women you have here!! They truly love you. I love serving alongside you in ministry to share God’s Word with His girls!!
Blessings,
Wendy
I haven’t always believed I was Loved by God. And sometimes I still struggle. Thanks for the giveaway.
Thank you for following God’s commandments!
I needed to see these very truths this morning! God’s timing is perfect! Thank you for sharing this with us.
I Am Loved is a wonderful study…it’ll refresh, renew and convict….it’s a truthful and honest walk thru the Word of God…
This study is so good! I’d love to win another book to give my sister so she can join me. Thanks ladies!
Would love to win a Valentine’s Day giveaway. All your resources are awesome!
This is an area that I’m struggling in right now. I am trying to see myself as loved, but am finding it difficult to love myself knowing how much I have strayed from Abba’s ways over the years. When I realized that he wants obedience and I had fallen so short of it, it was all I could do to keep going. I love Him so, and I wish I could do things over again, to know what I know now when I was young, so that I could have spent my life doing what was right.
My clock says its February 9th 11:39 pm, but the time on the post showed up as February 10 12:39 am.
There are times that I feel unloved and unworthy of God’s love. I think this study would help me feel the real love he has for us.
This bible study is just what my youngest daughter, Rebecca needs at this time. Recently diagnosed with IBC (breast cancer) if fact her older sister, Sarah and I all will also be doing this bible study. I know it’s past the giveaway and that ok. I can purchase them for my girls, Thank you for sharing your faith and encouraging us to walk in God’s truth and love.
This is what I need and several women I know. We all struggle with thinking we are loved. Thank you for the chance
I am struggling with feeling loved. With being worthy.. I feel overlooked by everyone and God right now. Please pray for me 💗
Marisa I’m sorry you’re feeling unloved by everyone and God. I can’t speak for others around you but I know God loves you. His word tells us how much he loves us. Don’t let the devil continue to blind you of God’s love for you. Dig in God’s word and let him show and tell just how much he loves you. Praying for you
One of the best books I’ve read on this topic, Marisa, is Me, Myself, and Lies by Jennifer Rothschild. It’s so gentle. So freeing. So powerful. This is an interview I did with her. I think it’s such a beautiful way to hold on to truth — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i06N7xW3MmI&t=237s
You are loved. That is truth. It’s not about our worthiness, but his. When we shift that perspective, we are cloaked in his love and acceptance because it’s no longer about us, but about His love for us.
