New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘God Thinks Of Me’

Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. (1 Peter 5:7 TLB)

                                                                Prayer

Father, I give to You all my worries and cares, for You are always thinking about me and watching everything that concerns me. Is there any problem that is too great for God?  His Word covers all things. There is no situation He cannot handle. He has not left anything out when He laid the foundation of the earth. He did not forget anything when He took my sins, burdens, and cares on His body on the cross. He hears me in my complaints and my grievances, I am His child. 
Father, I remember and will not forget You are bigger than all my sins. It’s of no advantage to me to complain. When I pray, I pray wth confident faith; trusting and proclaiming with confidence that God, is my strength and ever present help in my times of troubles. You are the hope for my life. 
Today, I gather all my fears and doubts in one heap, and deposit them all at the footstool of the cross, and proclaim the victorious power of His Word over every situation I face forever and always in the precious and peerless name of  Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

Cling to wisdom—she will protect you. Love her—she will guard you. (Proverbs 4:6TLB)

                                                                 Prayer

O my precious God, I seek wisdom, and I know she will protect and watch over me. I love her with all of my heart and she is faithful and guards my life. I praise and bless You for her.
Through all my difficulties, troubles, and circumstances help me to come to the right decisions. Help me to overcome all the temptations I may face. Sometimes it is good to step back, stop focusing on what others want me to do, and focus instead on what my conscience is telling me to do. Life is an exercise in decision making, I know I need Jesus Christ; and the Holy Spirit of God, to bring me to the right place I need to be. 
Today and every day, I must make a choice: choices about what I will do, what I will worship, and how I will think. When I begin to doubt, I shall make the choice to sincerely believe that the Holy Spirit of God, will bring me in a closer relationship with God. And if I am uncertain of my next steps, I shall slow down long enough to pray to Jesus, and ask Him what He wants me do. When I do this God will bring me the answers I need. I can rest assured that when God answers prayer, His answers are the right ones for me. I praise and thank You dear God, now and always in Jesus peerless and precious name. Amen.

Only the Holy Spirit gives eternal life. [*] Those born only once, with physical birth, will never receive this gift. But now I have told you how to get this true spiritual life. 
(John 6:63 TLB)

                                                                        Prayer

O my precious God, thank You for giving me new life through Jesus Christ, through the  supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. It’s good to have a true spiritual life in Jesus Christ. He has breathed new life into me. He has given me fresh vitality into my life which was once was asleep. He has blessed me with freedom and enables me to accomplish new things. I arise each morning with great expectations, for His light has come into my heart. His glory is all over me. I am radiant in Him. He brings such joy and peace to my heart, a happiness that I have been craving for, now He has satisfied me in my body, mind, spirit, heart and soul. I am filled to the brim of contentment in Him alone and I shall always be ever thankful and grateful to Him for evermore through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

You are living a brand new kind of life that is continually learning more and more of what is right, and trying constantly to be more and more like Christ who created this new life within you. (Colossians 3:10 TLB)

                                                                   Prayer

Heavenly Father, I acknowledge I am living a brand new kind of life that is continually learning more and more of what is right, and trying constantly to be more and more like Jesus Christ, who created this new life within me to be more like Him. He is  restoring, renewing, and rejuvenating my spiritual life through the work of Holy Spirit within me. Because of my faith, through Christ, He will continually restore my relationship with Him by offering me absolute forgiveness. In my soul, the Holy Spirit of God; renews my commitment to follow Him and He is the One who rejuvenates my faith, empowering me to overcome challenges and obstacles along the way. I shall come to God and take rest in Him and He will reward me in my faith day by day through Jesus Christ.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Risk It For God’

“O God my Rock,” I cry, “why have you forsaken me? Why must I suffer these attacks from my enemies?” (Psalm 42:9 TLB)

                                                                    Prayer

“O God my Rock,” I cry, to You “why have You forsaken me? Why did you let me down? Why am I walking around in tears, harassed by my enemies?” I know occasionally I will be disappointed and have failures in my life that are inevitable, but I constantly come to God in faith. There is always a price to pay for my unwillingness to take risks as I follow my dreams. But even in these setbacks, I know I must never abandon my faith. I do not have any right to give up on God, nor do I have any right to say what God can and cannot do in my life. When life is tough, this is the time I need to seek God’s face more. I am willing to keep on fighting the good fight of faith, even when I meet unexpected difficulties. I have made the decision today, whatever the temporary setbacks maybe, I will watch with surprise what God will do for me as my determination grows in Him. He gives me wisdom and the courage to persevere with Him. I praise and bless Him for everything He is doing in my life now and forever more in Jesus Christ, peerless and precious name. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Believe In God’

You can never please God without faith, without depending on him. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him. (Hebrews 11:6 TLB)

                                                                   Prayer 

O my precious God, I can never please You unless my faith is built upon the Rock and Foundation of Christ. I am depending upon You to increase my faith daily, so that I may become stronger and deeper in faith. I do believe there is a God and that He will reward me sincerely in my faith through Jesus Christ. 
I treasure my faith in Him. My faith is in Him and it is built upon love, and it’s monumental enough to move mountains, heal the sick, bring hope to the hopeless, and give courage to the feeble. From my faith everything springs forth. You have given me the authority and power to overcome evil and to charter unknown seas. Without faith I know it’s impossible to please God. I desire to understand the immensity of one minuscule mustard seed of faith. I understand that one beautiful act of faith in Christ, has the power to change the course of all people’s lives because they are placing there trust in the Son of God. 
Jesus, is God’s precious Son and He is the way to the Father; whoever believes in Him will receive eternal life. Jesus, died on the Cross of Calvary to forgive all sinners their sins  and to set the captives free. His shed blood was shed for me and for you and through the inspiration and supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God, we can know the truth about the Saviour, the Redeemer, the Messiah who was sent by God to save His people from the evils of this world of sin. Amen.

When a man is gloomy, everything seems to go wrong; when he is cheerful, everything seems right! (Proverbs 15:15 TLB)
it is a time to celebrate with a hearty meal and to send presents to those in need, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. You must not be dejected and sad!” (Nehemiah 8:10 TLB)

                                                                   Prayer

Father, I praise You that I can celebrate in a banquet of wondrous treats for my soul today. I can come and feast with You – I can feast upon our friendship. I can experience the delight of my soul being refreshed in You. 
I ask You to fill my soul with joy once again, and help me to recognise the joy of the Lord. Help me to eat a hearty meal and not groan with spiritual hunger and feed myself with earthly foods, bread, wine gooey stuff, sweets, empty chatter, and entertainments – which are against the desired will of God, leaving me feeling empty and hungry. I ask You to fill me full with the Holy Spirit of God. I can't fully live without Your perfect joy flowing through my veins, You, Jesus; died on the cross to give me the gift of Your joy. Today, Jesus, let us be joyful together and help me to lean and depend upon the Holy Spirit of God, now and alway. Amen.

Then they cried to the Lord in their troubles, and he rescued them! He led them from the darkness and shadow of death and snapped their chains. (Psalm 107:13-14 TLB)

                                                                  Prayer

Father, many a time I have felt like giving up. In my times of troubles, I cry out to You, O God, and You will rescue me. You will lead me from the darkness and shadow of death and snap off my chains. 
I praise and thank You for bringing the truth when I am battling with thoughts of discouragement. I know I do not need to give into the sin of discouragement the enemy tries to tempt me with. I acknowledge my sin of discouragement before God, and proclaim my faith through Jesus Christ, over everything that is against His laws and decrees. Help me to be focused upon God, at all times and allow Him be in the centre of my heart and life. I shall constantly keep on praying and crying out to Him and He will be faithful to me and heal and deliver me from all destructions and they will quickly evaporate in His presence, through the precious name of Jesus Christ and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘Strong In Character’

So let it grow, and don’t try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete. (James 1:4 TLB)

                                                                      Prayer

O my beloved God, help me to grow in my spiritual walk with You. Do not let me try to squirm out of any problems I may have or be tempted to give up. Grant to me O God, Your patience and strength, to help me finally be in full bloom, then I will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete. 
Father, I know You have work for me to do – important work. You have given me impressive array of talents and opportunities with which to accomplish the work at hand. When it comes to my particular genius – and I can be quite sure that I have one – it’s my job to transform potential into reality. Making my dreams come true is largely up to me. What I need is perseverance. The next time I am tempted to give up on my big dream, I shall remember that I may have to fight the battle more than once to win it. I shall keep fighting for the dreams God has given to me and wait for Him to make them come true! Every action I take, everything I do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become all that God wants me to become You for the honour and glory of Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

Dear brothers, is your life full of difficulties and temptations? Then be happy, for when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. (James1:2-3 TLB)

                                                                  Prayer

O my precious God, when my life is full of difficulties and temptations, when the way is rough, my patience will have a chance to grow. Patience, is a important part of Your eternal plan, and not as an almost-winner, or as a once-was or as a coulda-been, I am it. I am the right-now, in-the-game, the authentic child of Yours. You have sent me out with Your anointing and blessing to practice Your presence everywhere and in all things. I shall conqueror frustrations. I shall accept the time that real achievement takes. Patience is my friend. I shall be ready for anything You have for me. Today, I shall think about finding happiness as I wait upon You. I shall persevere in the upward climb – in the struggle and the thankless hours. I shall let my soul expand and grow, not squirming out of problems as frustration would have me do. I shall be strong in character- in the character of Christ. I shall be strong, bold, courageous and be complete in Him. For He is my portion of triumph forever and I shall  always remember this, bringing all my praise, thanksgiving, and worship to Him now and always. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘God’s Miracles’

O Lord my God, many and many a time you have done great miracles for us, and we are ever in your thoughts. Who else can do such glorious things? No one else can be compared with you. There isn’t time to tell of all your wonderful deeds. (Psalm 40:5 TLB)

                                                                 Prayer 

O my precious God, many and many a time You have done great miracles for me, and I am always in Your thoughts. Who else can I depend upon for the glorious things You do? No one else can be compared with You. There isn't enough time to tell of all Your wonderful deeds. Who have I in heaven, but You, O God; and earth hasn't anything I desire besides You. 
I thank You the amazing vision You have given me for my future and it is infinitely higher and abundantly better than anything I could imagine. I will not try to figure out or try to understand what You are about to do in my life – as You will show me how all my experiences fit together in accordance to Your plans..
Father God, You are doing something through me that is so amazing it can only be achieved by Your magnificent power and imagination. I will allow Your hope to strengthen me today: Because of God’s extraordinary love, the best is still ahead. Your plans for my future are unfolding, and they are truly fantastic. I shall have faith which will honour Him always, and I will always praise and exalt His precious glorious name forever and always through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘God’s Truth‘

I will reveal these truths to you so that you can describe these glorious deeds of Jehovah to your children and tell them about the mighty miracles he did. (Psalm 78:4 TLB)

                                                                     Prayer

Father, You have revealed all the truths to me so that I can describe these glorious deeds of Jehovah to my children; and tell them about the mighty miracles You do. My life is a testimony of the way You work. People will learn whether they can truly trust the Lord by observing how to handle moments of joy as well as times of sorrow. When I battle hardships and obstacles, I still demonstrate faith in my unshakable God. The prophets of old the disciples experienced terrible pressure. However, each one of them refused to give up or react negatively to their circumstances. Rather, they were proactive – they did not only honour the Lord and they grew in their faith, but many others came to know Him through their excellent example. The same is true for me, but I must decide to trust in Him in every situation. I will honour God no mater what happens. I will be His faithfulness witness for Him as well. He has commanded me to speak the truth to my children … that they may set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, and keep His commandments, I shall obey His command in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Instantly Jesus reached out his hand and rescued him. “O man of little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?” (Matthew 14:31 TLB)

                                                                     Prayer

O my precious God, grant me the faith that does not doubt, and increase my faith, so that I will never doubt You. I refuse to have a doubtful mind, which is driven and tossed by the wind. When I have to make any kind of decision within my life, I will make sure I have included God in the decision making, asking Him to guide and lead me through the Holy Spirit of God in faith in the name of Jesus Christ. I cannot expect God to answer my prayers and petitions and give me a solid answer, if I am not walking in faith. 
I relinquish all my emotions and feelings to God, for they are not reliable sources to base important decisions upon. In Christ Jesus, I have all the guidance I need; because He has planned my life. He has numbered the hairs on my head. He has calculated the breaths I’ve breathed and stored them in golden containers, to celebrate a life lived through Jesus Christ. I am close to His heart. I’ll never doubt His love. The Holy Spirit of God, assures me who I am in Jesus Christ. He is my life forever and always in His precious name. Amen.

So, I can come to You openly, honestly, and make a new start. You will remove the hot glare from my life, and You’ll place me in my sweet destiny. I put my hand into the hand of God, my faith is in Him. 
Father, thank You that You have plans for me – plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to open doors of possibilities for me.

                                                                      Prayer

Father God, when I live in the light with Jesus Christ, this helps me to share fellowship with others. You have shown me that I must have respect and love for everyone. I must love Christians everywhere and I really want to do this.
As I walk forward in my relationship with God, it is so important that I spend time with others who share the same faith. Father, I ask You to find friends who are women of faith, who have the same heart and mind, through Jesus Christ. 
Only You can open the doors of opportunities for me leading me into the right places, where I am able to serve You and serve others. I want to be surprised O God, how quickly I bond and how deep and lasting my relationships become. After all, I share a secret, the greatest love of all!

Constantly remind the people about these laws, and you yourself must think about them every day and every night so that you will be sure to obey all of them. For only then will you succeed. Yes, be bold and strong! Banish fear and doubt! For remember, the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:8-9 TLB)

Gracious God, I am constantly to remind people about Your laws, and I myself must think about them every day and every night so that I will be sure to obey all of them. For only then will I succeed. Yes, I will be bold and strong! I banish all fear and doubt in Jesus Christ’s name. I remember, the Lord my God is with me wherever I go. All heaven is behind my success. The Words You speak to me create life and power, so today, I take Your Word and Your authority, as my strength, my shield, and my oxygen. I will see truth in all that You tell me, my faith will intensify, and my success will burgeon beyond human ability to the point where I’ll bring to pass that which is not by contending and speaking it out. Haven't You told me whatever I ask in Your name You’ll answer? Isn’t it written that faith is the substance of things unseen? In You I have the good success You ordained for me from the beginning. 
O Lord my God, many and many a time You have done great miracles for me, and I am ever in Your thoughts. Who else can do such glorious things? No one else can be compared with You. There isn't time to tell of all Your wonderful deeds. Quicken my spirit that I am able to reach out and touch those people lives You want me to touch for the glory and honour of Your precious name.

Heavenly Father, I remember that You are my Rock – the Saviour above all gods. I praise and thank You from all of my heart, that You have placed a great trust within my heart in faith.
You can make anything possible and You do not always answer my prayers the same way. Just when I think I understand how You will solve a problem, You take a different route. This is why my faith is so important. I shall always make sure whatever I am doing is in line with the principles of Your Word, but I also will allow You to be God – and submit to You whenever You reshape Your plans in my life, even when I do not comprehend why You are leading me in a certain way. I shall never try to box You in with my expectations. Because I will find, that when I think I know all there is to know about You, You will do something far better that I could ever imagined. In addition, this is when I am truly blessed. I remember that You, O God; are my Rock, that the Most High is my Defender through the blessed name of Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

Dear friends, let us practice loving each other, for love comes from God and those who are loving and kind show that they are the children of God, and that they are getting to know him better. But if a person isn’t loving and kind, it shows that he doesn’t know God—for God is love. (1 John 4:7-8 TLB)

Father the closer I am to You, the easier it is for me to accept being loved by others. Love is not something I have to earn. I am loved because I am flat-out loveable.

A gift is measured by the effort and love it took to give it to me, and every gift You have given to me; gives me wings to go to my heavenly savings account where nothing is calculated by numbers but by integrity. You want me to see the divinely appointed authority of the gifts I give to people. When I give a gift through effort, grief, sacrifice, sorrow, hardship, and joy, it bears powerful authority through the Holy Spirit of God. I shall start to proclaim the authority of the gifts God has given to me, for such gifts aren't mere charitable niceties; they're kisses from You. The gifts I have given come from a selfless heart which go to You first, then to the recipients. No matter how simple or grand, I freely give, whatever the cost, because it's the heart of the giver that multiplies itself and only what I give from the heart is truly mine and Yours always in Jesus Christ’s name.

I want to be able to understand that Your mercies are new to me each morning and that You will provide for me in miraculous ways as I travel through life. Through the Bible it contains all the hope and wisdom I need for each new day. The Bible was written for me, and the truth it contains is just as powerful today as when it was first penned. When You, O God, promises to love me, provide for me, and guide me each day, You mean it. You spread Your wings around me with the legions of Your angels and arc angles and I am protected by You each day, I praise and thank You for this as I place my trust in You completely in Jesus Christ my precious Lord.

                                                                     Prayer

Father, You are telling me earnestly: Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, we cannot enter the Kingdom of God.

Father, You know I am in need of help, and so You will answer me, but first You want me to see myself as one with You. We are not separate and neither are we apart. I am grounded on firm solid ground, while You are not up in the clouds with a pair of holy binoculars and a yellow legal pad taking notes. 
I understand Your Spirit is in me. We are united from inside; and I am listening to what You want to say to me. You are always with me now! We are spiritually connected in a divine, miraculous fusion making us one spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh, but Your Spirit has fused my human spirit and has created a new life in me. Right now. Here and now. This minute. When I specifically ask You for guidance, I trust You will guide me along the right way in accordance to Your perfect will. I shall listen with my heart, and You will hear me forever and always in the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ my Lord, and in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God, I give You all the praise, adoration, and thanksgiving.

Who then can ever keep Christ’s love from us? When we have trouble or calamity, when we are hunted down or destroyed, is it because he doesn’t love us anymore? And if we are hungry or penniless or in danger or threatened with death, has God deserted us? No, for the Scriptures tell us that for his sake we must be ready to face death at every moment of the day—we are like sheep awaiting slaughter; but despite all this, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ who loved us enough to die for us. (Romans 8:35-37 TLB)

                                                                   Prayer

Father, who can keep Christ Jesus; love from me? When I have trouble or calamity, when I am hunted down or destroyed, is it because You don’t love me anymore. And if I am hungry or penniless or in danger or threatened with death, have You deserted me? No, for the Scriptures tell me that for Your sake I must be ready to face death at every moment of the day – for I am like a sheep awaiting slaughter; but despite all this, overwhelming victory is mine through Christ who loved me enough to die for me.
I am precious to You; I shall never forget this. I shall never lose sight of these sheltering words. You are fully aware of each facet of my character. You know my choices, my strengths, my flaws, and my glories. You know me better than I know myself. My aims in life are too low, however, and my target unfocused. This is why my confidence is shallow. I ask You to open up my eyes of understanding today, and I shall stop permitting the clouds for sin and self-reproach to waste my energy. You give me my breath, and You number my days. Help me to take charge of my choices today, and I ask You to be Lord of my life absolutely in everything I do for the glory, praise, and honour of Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – ‘No Need For Worry’

Don’t you yet understand? Don’t you know by now that the everlasting God, the Creator of the farthest parts of the earth, never grows faint or weary? No one can fathom the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the tired and worn out, and strength to the weak. Even the youths shall be exhausted, and the young men will all give up. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:28-31 TLB)

                                                                         Prayer

O my precious God, I know that the everlasting God, the Creator of the farthest parts of the earth, will never grow faint or weary. I cannot fathom the depths of Your understanding. But I do know You give power to the tired and worn out people, and You give strength to the weak. Even the young shall be exhausted, and the youth will give up. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. You will not let me fall, nor shall I  worry. You have always been with me and held me up to guide and protect me and always be with me and I shall not be alone. You live and dwell in me, and I dwell and live in You. Yes, You hold my hand, and You also hold my heart. I choose to fuse my thoughts with Your thoughts. My dreams, my longings, my passions, are not separated from Your thoughts for we are one. Today, I will transcend from the worldly grip on my life that comes and goes like a moth beating at the window. I am fixed to You and I shall fly together with You and You will help me to reach my destination through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

For when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. So let it grow, and don’t try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete. (James 1:3-4 TLB)

                                                                 Prayer

Father, when the way is rough, my patience has a chance to grow. So I shall let it grow, and not try to squirm out of my problems. When my patience is finally in full bloom, then I will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete.
I have been waiting for answers to my prayers, and I have been patient. I will not let doubt bite me on the neck when I have come this far trusting You. I know doubt will strip me of my faith, it is as simple as peeling an orange. I ask the Holy Spirit of God to strengthen my faith, that my faith is built solely upon the Rock and Foundation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Doubt, doesn't fit who I am any longer, there isn't any room for doubt in my life so in the precious name of Jesus I ask Him to cast it out. I trust in God’s Word, and believe when His Word tells me; He will never leave me or forsake me I trust in what His Word says. I also know above the shouts of confusion He is with me as I wait patiently for Him. He is  answering me – but in His time. I shall let Him carry me to the place that is best for me I shall let Him multiply His best for me. This best He has for me is worth waiting for. I shall endure a little longer and then I shall endure with triumph as He wins all my battles for me. Thank You, Lord Jesus; for all Your faithfulness You have shown towards me now and forever more. Amen.

(Jeremiah 31:3 TLB)

                                                                        Prayer

Father, in the past I have looked to people for approval. I have compared myself with others and I was snared in the unstable notions of inferiority and superiority. You have put me on earth to be a star in Your kingdom and I will glorify You. When, I put You first, and my ways please You, You’ll will make my enemies at peace with me. I will put You first today and I will experience Your favour to accomplish my calling with dignity and success.
You, love me with an everlasting love; with loving-kindness You have drawn me to You. You want me to climb into Your arms of goodness, and snuggle up to You; into the safety of Your love and mercy so I can feel totally secure in Your nourishing care. You creating new passageways leading me into the holy chambers of Your heart. Wisdom and knowledge are my lighted beacons, and tell me, the joy of life is mine. You will not mislead me nor do You lie. You want me tucked in Your sweet embrace eating the fruit of contentment under Your watchful gaze. I shall take what You have for me today! I shall treasure Your words deep in my heart. Everything You have is mine to share with You now and for always in Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

You love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing with the oil of joy. (Psalm 45:7 NIV)

.                                                                   Prayer

O my precious God, I love righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, my God, has set me about my companions by anointing me with the oil of joy.You call me beautiful, for you are enthralled by my beauty; I honour you, for You are the Lord of my life. Today, I think about this wonderful truth: God finds me lovely. He created every detail that makes me unique – my personality, giftedness, and traits – with loving care, and He is enthralled with what He has accomplished within me. He is so precious to me and He is my God. He has filled me with potential, every facet of who I am and I am beautiful to Him. Yet what He loves most about me is that my heart, which has been cleansed and purified with His forgiveness and covered with His righteousness, now I shall honour, and obey Him with all of my heart. Now when I look into the mirror, praise Him for how He has made me, even those things I wish I could change. Then I can gaze into His face and realise that my beauty is a reflection of His. God, how wonderful it is to be loved so deeply and completely. Fill my eyes with your magnificent face, and my heart with your wonderful love. Amen.

(Psalm 68:19 TLB)

                                                                     Prayer

O what a glorious Lord, I have in Jesus Christ. He who daily bears my burdens also give me my salvation. I live within the shadow of the Almighty, sheltered by the God who is above all gods. This I declare, that He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I am trusting Him. For He rescues me from every trap and protects me from the fatal plague. He will shield me with His wings.! They will shelter me. His faithful promises are my armour. Now I don't need to be afraid of the dark anymore, nor fear the dangers of the day; nor dread plagues of darkness, nor disasters in the morning. Though a thousand fall at my side, though ten thousand are dying around me, the evil will not touch me. I will see how the wicked are punished, but I will not share it. For Jehovah is my refuge I choose the God above all gods to shelter me. How then can evil overtake me or any plague come near? For He orders His angels to protect me wherever I go. They will steady me with their hands to keep me from stumbling against the rocks on the trail. I can safely meet a lion or step on poisonous snakes, yes, even trample them beneath my feet! For the Lord says, “Because he loves me, I will rescue him; I will make him great because He trusts in my name.” I praise God that I can rest in His arms forever and always in Jesus Christ, my precious Lord. Amen.

If you want to know what God wants you to do, ask Him, and he will gladly tell you, for He is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to all who ask Him; he will not resent it. But when you ask Him, be sure that you really expect Him to tell you, for a doubtful mind will be as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind; and every decision you then make will be uncertain, as you turn first this way and then that. If you don’t ask with faith, don’t expect the Lord to give you any solid answer. (James 1:5-8 TLB)

Father, I thank You, when I ask You what You want me to do, all I have to do is ask You for wisdom and You will gladly tell me. You always are ready to give me a bountiful supply of wisdom and grace to do what I need to do in You. I will not allow my feelings of inadequacy to visit me for one moment, for You have shown me in You I shall never be inadequate for the tasks You assign to me. 
I need grace to have the courage to relinquish my jungle of responsibilities to You. You have empowered me spiritually for greatness. I will not surrender my glorious power in You for a sackful of cheesy self-doubt. You are accomplishing Your purpose in me, and the choices I face today depend on my brave, wise frame of mind. Your grace brings me a caravan of rewards when I least expect it. I come to You in faith, expecting You, Lord, to give me all the solid answers I need to have to be obedient to the Lord Jesus Christ, for ever and always. Amen.

O my precious God, You have touched my eyes and said, “Because of my faith it will happen.” Because of my little faith, “Jesus told me, “For if you have faith even as small as a tiny mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, “Move!’ And it would go far away. Nothing would be impossible.
Father, I am beginning to realise the power I have in You. I posses unlimited power when I exercise my faith in whom I am in You. I honour You and demonstrate Your authority in human lives and events by confidently and assuredly exercising my faith in You. 
My faith can only expand when I use it. When things are difficult my faith becomes a living illustration of Your power and grace that dwells within me. My faith can be as small as a mustard seed, and it's sufficient to rattle mountains. Today, I put my faith to use as never before. I shall enjoy the leading of Your will and pray the impossible through the Holy Spirit of God and move the mountains that stand in the way of my walk with God in Jesus Christ. Amen.

God is preparing me for important battles ahead, for the tough challenges I will face. The difficulties I am enduring is crucial to making me ready for them. I shall not be in despair!

To do one thing without You is unnatural for me, and it is exceedingly lonely. You are the One who fashioned the heavens. You are the One who stretched the waters into the seas, and You are the One who created me to be Your friend. The heavens tremble and the seas roar, but with me, Your child, I like to sit down and relish a holy conversation. You want to hear me speak of urgent earthly matters and of my compassionate love for the issues, troubles, and people I love. You will show me great and wonderful things from heaven’s storehouse of answering all my prayers. May I bring honour, glory, praise, worship, and adoration to God through His precious Son Jesus Christ, forever and always I pray. Amen.

That is what is meant by the Scriptures which say that no mere man has ever seen, heard, or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord.

And I delight to do your will, my God, for your law is written upon my heart!”

Yes, by Your Word, You can move mountains. By Your Word the sick are healed, the lame walk, the blind see. 
I realise You are God – You only – and there is no other God like You who can tell me what is going to happen. All You say will come to pass, for You do whatever You wish.

They will be mighty warriors for God, grinding their enemies’ faces into the dust beneath their feet. The Lord is with them as they fight; their enemy is doomed.
(Zechariah 10:5 TLB)

.                                                               Prayer

Gracious God, I am a mighty warrior for God through prayer, grinding down my enemies faces into the dust beneath my feet. The Lord my God is with me as I fight; my enemies are doomed. 
I also have to learn when to contest and when to keep my spiritual fists to myself. I need discernment – spiritual discernment which is a gift from Your Holy Spirit and it means I must give permission for Your will to cohabit Your will in penetrating light that gives clear vision on all sides of what’s before, behind, above, and around. 
Father, You have shown me there’s a time to fight and a time not to fight. Having the gift of discernment tells me when to speak and when not to speak, when to act and when to remain still. This gift of discernment sheds light on what's true and what's false. The gift of discernment allows me to see through the veil of unknowing confusion, and it helps me to recognise evil spirits. I pray I may receive, activate, and put to use Your Holy Spirit’s gift of discernment today and every day of my life through Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

Be an example to the believers with your words, your actions, your love, your faith, and your pure life. (1 Timothy 4: 12 NCV)
And here you yourself must be an example to them of good deeds of every kind. Let everything you do reflect your love of the truth and the fact that you are in dead earnest about it. (Titus 2:7 TLB)
.

Heavenly Father, help me to be a good example to the believers with my words, my actions, my love, my faith, and my pure life. I know I must be an example to them of good deeds of every kind. Let everything I do reflect my love of the truth and the fact that I am in dead earnest about Jesus Christ.
Help me in my formative years, be the woman I choose to be as a role model that influences myself and the goals I set for myself. Now, as a adult, I am the one who the younger women watch. 
Daily, You remind me that my appearance and behaviour matter, because You understand how influential I am around those who are around me, especially young women who are still discovering their own personalities and priorities. As a role model, the way I carry myself reflects my values, and the words I use in everyday conversation declare my attitude toward God and other people. I was created not only to please God but also to reflect His virtue and to demonstrate His goodness and purity to others. In all things let me show them how to live by the way my life is lived in Christ. I commit this prayer into Your hands in the name of Jesus Christ my precious Lord. Amen.

A wise man is mightier than a strong man. Wisdom is mightier than strength. 
(Proverbs 24:5 TLB)
What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. (Hebrews 11:1 TLB)

Father, help me to be wise and strong today. Grant to me Wisdom for it is mightier than strength. Deepen my faith. The gift of faith You have given to me is the confident assurance that something I desire is going to happen to me in Jesus Christ. It is the certainty that whatever I hope for is waiting for me, even though I cannot see it up ahead. It is trusting in God in faith through the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit of God, He knows what is best for me and He knows what is going to happen to me. Then it’s up to me to wait upon Him in faith, to do whatever He needs to do to make His plans come forth for my life in accordance to His will. 
Whenever things seem to become dreary and without hope, let me grab hold of the strength that You have poured out into me. The notion of hopelessness doesn't exist in Your Kingdom, and You have given me the spiritual strength to combat every wily scheme aimed at me to discourage and tear down by my faith in Jesus Christ. The substance of everything I hope for is positioned in my faith. I shall be strong, bold and courageous for Your power has been proven to me by Your Holy Spirit, and His mighty power is with me today and every day of my life forever and always in Jesus Christ my precious Lord.

For the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. (Songs of Soloman 2:11 TLB)

Follow the steps of the godly instead, and stay on the right path, for only good men enjoy life to the full; [*]  evil men lose the good things they might have had, [*] and they themselves shall be destroyed. (Proverbs 2:20-21 TLB)

.                                                                      Prayer

Father God, I am giving far too much time to the past, to what is over and now gone. The past offers me nothing but more of itself. I shall not be obsessed about the past any longer, but give all of its power it's had over me to You; and ask You to give me the power to overcome my past so it shall not rule in my present any longer;  for I do not want to miss the glory of this moment. It's not good for me to pine for yesterday’s riches. It is destructive to my soul as resentment for what's been robbed from me. Today, I choose to appreciate and open up my eyes to the goodness in my life as it is right now.
You have used my past, both good and bad, as an instrument to create a greater future for me. You see my past as not only healed and delivered from the gnawing teeth of the devil, but as a scrapbook of success to add new pages to. I am a living wonder today. I have a new mind-set in Christ, and I think of terms of today, the way Jesus Christ does, I have given my past in its many dimensions to You, knowing now that all things will work together for my good in according to the promises You have made with me in Christ Jesus.

O my precious God, I thank You that You will give me: beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning; praise instead of heaviness. For God has planted me strong and as graceful as an oak for His own glory.
It was Him who saved me and chose me for His holy work not because I deserved it but because that was His plan long before the world began – to show His love and kindness to me through Jesus Christ.
Today, I think of myself as a sculptor facing a block of stone and all ready for God to chisel out the beauty of Christ locked inside of me. I ask Him to  knit and shape me and form me into His desired will. I have been waiting a long time for my Father to set me loose and set me free for centuries, through Jesus Christ my precious Lord,
God, You have blessed me with the consecrated skill required to create the beauty from ashes. I trust the gifts You have given me today. I trust the person of the Holy Spirit, who made me who I am today.

Father God, You alone are my hope; I've trusted You from childhood. Yes, You have been with me from birth and have helped me constantly – no wonder I am always praising You!
You have been talking to me since before I was born. You were the first one who welcomed me into the world when my mother gave birth to me. You've loved and cherished me forever, and yet I haven't always been aware of Your presence. It took me forty years before I was aware of Your existence, before I heard You calling me by my name.
Your presence was subtle, unpredictable, and supernatural. You revealed Yourself to me in the sacred halls of my heart – in the early hours of the morning; I heard You calling my name. I recognised Your still small voice and acknowledge You as my Saviour and Lord, who told me everything that had been wrong in my life, You the Lord my God would put all things right. 
Jesus, You never cease to amaze me. You are constantly changing me and rearranging me knitting and shaping me into Your desired will. I willingly want to do things in Your will and ways in submission and obedience to Christ. No more do I want to walk a disobedient life of sin, but I want to live a life of righteousness, holiness, and godliness and through the help of God’s Holy Spirit, He will enable and empower me to do this for I ask Him in His  name.

New Blog Post: ‘Come Into God’s House and Meet with Him in Prayer’ – 'I Need Wisdom And Knowledge In God’

For the reverence and fear of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. 11 “I, Wisdom, will make the hours of your day more profitable and the years of your life more fruitful.” 12 Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself.
(Proverbs 9:10-12 TLB)

                                                                   Prayer 

Heavenly Father, it is good for me to have reverence and fear of God this is the basic of all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. Wisdom, will make the hours of my day more profitable and the years of my life more fruitful.  Wisdom is its own reward, and if I scorn her, I will only hurt myself.
I need both knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is found in text books. Wisdom, on the other hand, is obtained through my experiences, years of trials and error, and paying careful attention to God’s Word. Knowledge is an important building block in a well-lived life, and it pays rich dividends both personally and professionally. Wisdom is even more important because it refashions not only my mind but also my heart. 
Having faith, God doesn't intend for me to stand still. He wants me to keep growing deeper as a woman and as a spiritual being. No matter how grown-up I may be, I still have a lot more growing up to do. The more I grow into Christ Jesus, the more beautiful I become, inside and out. 
Let me remember that the longer I live, the more I shall know, and the more I shall know, the more beautiful I become. I desire to pass on these traits to others so they too can have a relationship with God through the Holy Spirit of God. Amen.
