Set Apart Before the Start
Jacqueline LlanoShare
Theme Scripture: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart...”
— Jeremiah 1:5
Hey sis,
Before you ever showed up, God had already spoken your name.
You were formed with intention, called with compassion, and set apart with purpose.
You’re not figuring it out as you go, you’re walking out what heaven already knew.
So if you’ve been feeling overlooked or unsure, pause right here and breathe this in:
God always knew who you were,
And He wants you to know who you are in Him.
Let’s pray…
🙏🏾 H.O.P.E. Prayer
H – Honor
Father, I stand in awe of Your intentionality. Before time began, You knew me. Before anyone could label me, You named me. Before I breathed my first breath, You had already written my story. I honor You as the God who forms, who calls, and who sets apart with holy purpose.
O – Opening My Heart
God, I confess that I’ve often forgotten how carefully You crafted me. I've wrestled with comparison, doubt, and unworthiness, but today, I lay those things down. I open my heart to believe the truth: I am known. I am seen. I am Yours.
P – Petition
Lord, awaken in me the identity You placed in me before I was born. Stir up every gift, every calling, and every divine assignment. Remove every false label and replace it with truth. Let me walk boldly in who You’ve called me to be, without fear or hesitation.
E – Exaltation (Declare + Decree)
I decree Jeremiah 1:5 over my life:
I was formed by God.
I am known by God.
I have been set apart for divine purpose.
I declare that I will walk in the confidence of heaven’s blueprint for my life. I was not born to blend in, I was created to stand out, set apart for the glory of God.
Declarations
- I am handpicked by God.
- I was formed with purpose, on purpose, for purpose.
- God’s plan for my life was written before I ever saw a day.
- I am walking in divine alignment with heaven’s assignment.
- I carry God’s calling, UNAPOLOGETICALLY!
