Claimed by God

Make God's Promises Your Daily Declaration

God has uniquely created each one of us. In the Scriptures, he has a lot to say about who we are and how we can live with fullness of hope.

But have we become so informed by the world that we have forgotten we were first formed by the Creator of the world?

Claimed by God helps you remember your identity as a daughter of God through thirty statements about the joy, confidence, and hope that God has instilled in you. These declarations are grounded in Scripture and supported by guided prayers that fuel your assurance, strength, and gratitude for God's unchanging love. Together they enable you to believe beyond what you can see in front of you.

In each chapter, you will



- speak the declaration in an act of faith,

- read the Scripture passages,

- draw near to God in a closing prayer, and

- memorize the declarations that speak to your heart.



These declarations aren't meant to stay on these pages. As you make them a part of your daily routine, you can declare God's promises over yourself as you start your day or as you drift off to sleep. Speak truths over your circumstances in moments of fear or doubt. If you need wisdom or discernment, make these words your prayer, inviting God's provision into each situation.

As you allow truths from God's Word to permeate through your being, you'll find yourself closing in on your God-given identity, calling, and destiny. God has so much in store for you. With Claimed by God, step forward in faith and live according to his hope-filled promises.

"This changes everything! The life-transforming message Amy Bragg Carey and Anna Marie Carey champion in Claimed by God is that grace frees Christians to see others as saints who sin, not as sinners striving to become saints. Read Claimed by God to experience the peace, joy, and freedom of the original good news of Jesus."



"Identity is a word we are all hearing about today. And while our culture has much to say about it, something feels oddly vapid, empty, and unsatisfying. What Amy Bragg Carey and Anna Marie Carey have done in Claimed by God is offer something deeper and more satisfying—a humble exploration of what it means to walk in the identity that God has given us. I commend to you the authors and their words in this powerful book."



"Do we really know what is true about us, who we are? Culture, other people, social media, or even your own thoughts on who you truly are can be clouded with opinions but often do not hold the truth we seek. God is the One we must look to in order to see our true identity. Amy Bragg Carey and Anna Marie Carey, through personal story and biblical truth, remind us of who God says we are, that therein lies our worth and our identity. Let's repeat these truths every day!" weniger anzeigen expand_less
