Morning Devotion: Seeking Strength and Guidance

Good morning, Abba Father. Great and mighty are You, LORD my God. I worship and praise Your Holy Name. Abba, You are wonderful, and I adore You with all my heart, soul, and mind. Thank You, Abba, for a new day. Thank You for being patient, kind, and understanding towards me. 1 Chronicles 16:11 reminds me, “Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually!” Today, LORD, I seek You. Abba, I seek Your strength and desire to be in Your presence every day. I humbly commit my day and work into Your hands, surrendering my life and everything I do to You. O Abba, I love You so very much. As I navigate through my day, Your Word is my guide. In Matthew 11:28, You say, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” I stand before You this morning, asking for Your hand to shield me, my family, and my friends. I dedicate each person I name into Your hands: Andus, me, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jr., 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, Kid, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina, Karina, Petro, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, and Veronica. LORD, each of us carries burdens we cannot bear alone. I come humbly before You, laying down my burdens. I worry about my mom, Oom Frik, my husband, children, grandchildren, and stepchildren. You know our circumstances and what we face each day. Abba, without You, we are nothing. I pray and stand in the gap for each one today, bringing Elma, Karina, and Rina into Your presence. You know what they face. Help them all today. God, thank You for showing me true love. Your will is for the world to know You, walk with You, and love You. In Your presence, I find joy. O Abba, today, please show me how I can share Your love with those around me. I present myself before You this morning, along with everyone I am thinking of. Abba, I ask that You meet me in my failures, struggles, brokenness, and despair. LORD, I need Your Holy Spirit, and Jesus, I ask You to be my guide. As I clothe myself with You, LORD Jesus Christ, protect each one of us today. We cannot do without You. Help me, please, LORD my God. Father, You know my needs before I ask. I remind You, LORD, about my sponsorships, exhibitions, and delegate tickets. I ask that You open the doors for each person I have brought before You. Only You know what we face. Thank You, LORD, for hearing my prayer. I praise and worship You. In the name of Jesus Christ, thank You, Lord, for today. Amen.

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

#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...
