Lord You, are the lifter of my head

Psalm 3: 3 AMP

But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, my glory [and my honour], and the One who lifts my head.”

It seems when I let my guard down and I don’t put the whole armour of God on I struggle with depression, a spirit of heaviness, despair and discouragement. I didn’t put the shield of God’s protection over myself. Those days, I lose sight of what God is doing in my life and I feel totally alone and abandoned. Then the Spirit reminds me of God’s Word, He is the lifter my head.

Lord You, know and understand my mood swings, You know when I feel totally abandoned and without hope, those are the days You send me someone to cheer me up. I know and believe that You have a plan for my life, a future and I know You are in control over my life. In my hour of despair, I need to confirm and stand in agreement with Your Word. It will lift my spirit and my soul.

Lord You, know I am still practising staying positive, I am still working on my attitude and holding fast to Your word. Thank You, Lord, for being here with me today.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You, for today, that I can call out to You and know that You Lord are the lifter of my head. Lord I dedicate my week into Your hands, I pray for wisdom, understanding and compassion today. Lord guide me, give me the strength and understanding today. Lord show me the way forward. Keep me and watch over me. I believe that Your Word is in my life, You Lord are the lifter of my head. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, 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...
