Ask God for Help



Psalm 103: 1-2 AMP

Praise for the LORD’s Mercies.
A Psalm of David.
“Bless and affectionately praise the LORD, O my soul, and all that is [deep] within me, bless His holy name.  Bless and Affectionaly praise the LORD, O my soul, and do not forget any of His benefits;”

I don’t know about you, but sometime I feel so far away from God. I seem to be distracted and not hearing anything around me.  Why?

Sometimes I allow my everyday life, things that frustrate and irritate me to come into play forgetting who is my God. Sometimes I am so preoccupied that I forget all the good things God has given me.

Lord I need Your help today, pour out into my memories all the good things You have done for me. Only YOU LORD know my hearts desires and today I want to pray Psalm 51 verse 17 “My [only] sacrifice [acceptable] to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart [broken with sorrow for sin, thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise.” I come to You humbly Lord God, I am asking You to remind me of the good things in my life and ignite a fire within me to be a servant to You. I love and adore You, I am asking You for help today.”

In my brokenness I pray for Your mercy and grace and ask for common sense and guidance.

Prayer

Abba Father, Lord over heaven and the earth, I am humbly standing before You today in the Name of Jesus Christ. Please may I ask to receive your mercy new every day. Great is thy faithfulness today, tomorrow and forever. I worship and adore You, help me draw near and create in me a clean heart and a pure spirit in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ my Saviour Amen

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...

You are a Blessing to me!

Working in a multiracial office is always interesting, and my story today is one about sharing and looking out for each other.    Our cleaning lady doesn’t earn much and I doubt even if they are paying her ‘mini mum wages’.   Nevertheless the people in our office know this and worry about her.    One of the young ladies decided to give her a newspaper with all the latest add in it.   As she paged through the paper she sat next to her and asked her ‘what do you like’.    Looking at the stuff on the page she pick out a couple of things that seemed impossible to own and said to this young girl.   I like this and I would love to have one of these. Without her knowledge the Human Resource division made a collection and they then assigned the task to the young lady to buy the things Judy wanted. We gave her, her gifts today.   I was amazed at her gratefulness, tears of joy running down her face and all she could say was “T...

The View from the Sycamore Tree

"Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death. The Lord does not let the righteous go hungry, but he thwarts the craving of the wicked. Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." Proverbs 10:2–10 Reflection The Turning Point: I used to think that by this stage of my life. The path was already set in stone. I looked at the mirror and saw the silver hair and the lines of age. I felt as though I was simply watching the clock run out on my dreams. I’ve spent years in the "midlife crisis." Wrestling with the ghosts of regrets, careers that didn't flourish, relationships that felt the strain of time. The nagging fear of being "less than" in a world that prises youth and worldly success. But then I saw Zacchaeus. He was a man who had spent his life traveling in the wrong direction. Chasing "ill-gotten treasures" that left his soul hungry. When he climbed that tree, he wasn't just trying t...
