19 June 2024 - A Morning Prayer for Mercy, Guidance, and Provision

Good morning, Abba Father, God. You are a merciful savior and mighty deliverer. Thank you for rescuing me from darkness and sin through Jesus' sacrifice. You are victorious! I know you hear me when I cry out for help. Thank you. According to your word in Psalm 107:13-14, "Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart." Reflecting on your word this morning, I am humbled by your care for someone like me. Today, I cry out to you for help. I have confessed my sins and ask for your forgiveness. I stand in the gap for each person on my list this morning: Andus, me, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jnr., Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Johan, Odette, Anabelle, Briana, Jean, Jacklyn, Mom, Oom Frik, Elsa, Llewelyn, Zelda, Sean, Patrick, Duane, Nikita, Matthew, Elijah, Paul, Carla, Jadyn, Adam, Jocelyn, Aurther, Dante, Benjamin, Violette, Alison, Elma, Peet, Elmarie, Ben, kids, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina, Karina, Petro, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, and Veronica. O dear LORD, please open doors that are otherwise shut for each person and help us today. Provide for our needs, including food, clothing, and shelter. I pray to you, LORD Jehovah Jireh, our provider. We are in need, and I humbly ask for your provision. I remind you, LORD, that you are Jehovah Nissi, our banner. Thank you, LORD, for hearing my cries this morning. I honor you, God, with Psalm 8:3-4: "When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him." Thank you, LORD, for thinking of us today. I am grateful that you keep us in mind. When I see your magnificent work, I am humbled by your greatness. You are wonderful, mighty, and awesome—the invisible God, always near and watching over us. Help us today as we navigate our tasks and reach our goals. James 5:16 says, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." LORD, I have confessed my sins to you and pray for your forgiveness. I am humbled by the outcomes of my actions and ask for your forgiveness in humility. Thank you, LORD, for answered prayers. Help me renew my mind. Grant supernatural favor to each person on my list. Open doors of great opportunity and guide us through our days. Let your will be done in my life. Though it's easier said than done, please help me walk in step with you today. I commit everything I do into your hands. Make a straight path for me, my family, and friends. I call out to you for guidance, wisdom, insight, and understanding. Grant me the desires of my heart, in the name of Jesus Christ. In desperate need, I pray for a way forward. Show me what you want me to do. I need your guidance, sponsorships, exhibitions, and delegate tickets. Please help me. In the glorious name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Blessings and honor to you, God my Father. 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...

Help Me Stay True in Giving God His Tithe

Can I be real with you for a minute? Tithing is something I wrestle with. I try my best to be faithful, giving to the best of my ability. But let's be honest, sometimes I look around and see others who seem to be blessed in ways I'm not. They have this financial ease, this "caliber" of blessing, that can feel a world away from my own reality. And in those moments of doubt, a quiet, gentle voice reminds me: I am blessed. God does provide. He has come through for me more times than I can count, often in ways I didn't even see until later. He's always there, picking me up when I've lost it and guiding me when I'm blind to the path. My heart is so grateful for that. But my thinking still needs work. My human nature kicks in and whispers, "I earned this. I worked for this salary." It’s a constant battle to get my heart aligned with the truth. And the truth is found in verses like this: “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the ...
