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)

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)

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.

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.

What a glorious Lord! He who daily bears our burdens also gives us our salvation. 

(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.
