Praying the promises

It is a good thing to use the promises of God in your prayer life. Would you lay claim to these promises from Isaiah for CVC? Promises from Isaiah:

The Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you.  And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. 60:2-3

Lift up your eyes all around, and see; they all gather together, they come to you;
your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the hip.  Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and exult, because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you. 60:4-5

I will beautify my beautiful house. 60:7

In my wrath I struck you, but in my favor I have had mercy on you.  Your gates shall be open continually; day and night they shall not be shut, that people may bring to you the wealth of the nations. 60:10-11

The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the pine, to beautify the place of my sanctuary, and I will make the place of my feet glorious.  60:13

The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending low to you, and all who despised you shall bow down at your feet.  60:14

Whereas you have been forsaken and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you majestic forever, a joy from age to age.  60:15

Violence shall no more be heard in your land, devastation or destruction within your borders; you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.  60:18

The Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of mourning shall be ended.  60:20

Your people shall all be righteous; they shall possess the land forever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I might be glorified.  60:21

The least one shall become a clan, and the smallest one a mighty nation;  I am the Lord; in its time I will hasten it.  60:22
