December 10th, 2024 I love your LORD

Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your Word that reveals the depth of Your wisdom and love. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 2:16, “For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.” Lord, I humbly desire to live in alignment with Your Spirit, to hold Your thoughts, feelings, and purposes in my heart.

Lord, I confess that my own thoughts and abilities are limited and often fall short of Your will. My heart yearns to walk in harmony with You, to be one spirit with You as Your Word promises in 1 Corinthians 6:17. You have joined Yourself to me so that You can speak heart to heart with me. I long to hear Your voice clearly and to follow Your ways. Father God, I desire that Your thoughts become my actions, and that I live so closely with You that I never lack the power to overcome the evil of this world. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, so that I may feel Your heart of compassion for those who are hurting or burdened by sickness and pain. Use me, Lord, as a vessel of Your love, reaching out through my hands to fulfil Your purpose on this earth. Today, I renew my commitment to walk in union with You. Help me to give my full attention to Your Spirit dwelling within me. I choose to yield to Your voice, Lord, rather than the distractions of this world or the desires of my flesh. Let the mind of Christ flow through me, transforming my thoughts and actions according to Your will. Lord, I ask for Your wisdom to guide my heart, mind, and soul. I admit that I often lack the understanding needed to navigate life’s challenges. Please grant me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to comprehend the gifts You have freely given. Teach me spiritual truths through Your Holy Spirit, and grant me the discernment I need to live faithfully each day. Abba Father, I bring before You my family and friends, each one by name: 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, Alette, Peet, Elmarie, Ben, their children, Douw, Zayeen, Lea, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina-Hannes, Karina, Petro, Bianca and her daughter, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Ras and his wife, their child, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, and Veronica. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over each person on this list. I ask that You bless us with Your supernatural favour and protection. Lord, You know the struggles we face, the fears in our hearts, and the challenges we encounter. I pray for Your peace, love, and provision to fill our lives today. You have given me dreams of joy and prosperity, Lord, and I trust in Your timing to bring these dreams to fulfilment. Father, I am in need. My vehicles need repair, and I lack the resources to fix them. I place my trust in You, my Provider, to meet my needs. Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, I ask all these things. Amen. 🌸

Affirmation in the Almighty God

In the sacred verses of Exodus 35:35, I find affirmation that the Almighty has endowed me with creativity, a divine gift meant to be celebrated and utilized. It is a profound calling, one I believe I am meant to fulfill through various channels. God has whispered His purpose into my soul, guiding me to serve Him through my passion for baking, crafting intricate cake toppers, chronicling my thoughts in a blog, and expressing my love through embroidery.

As I immerse myself in these creative endeavors, I am reminded of my earnest desire to remain in His divine presence. Proverbs 23:7 cautions me about the power of my thoughts, urging me to align them with the purity of His teachings. I long to shed the cloak of negativity that has draped my mornings and conversations. Thus, I declare my willingness to be taught, to open myself to the transformative touch of the Holy Spirit, and to renew my mind with the Word of God. Though I have fashioned charming fondant animals and crafted exquisite cakes, I yearn for more. I crave the ability to nurture creative thinking, to birth extraordinary ideas that could reshape my destiny. Lord, grant me the grace to perceive Your messages not just spiritually but also through the tangible world around me. Help me develop the vision that Joel 2:28 speaks of, for I confess that I have lost the art of dreaming. Repeated discouragements have dimmed the light of my aspirations, leaving me feeling stagnant and unfulfilled as I approach my 60th year. Yet, I hold onto hope, for I know Your timing is divine. I await Your vision for my life, yearning for the revelation of Your purpose. With an open heart and a spirit receptive to Your guidance, I surrender my anxieties. Lord, I pray for Your wisdom to discern the path You've laid out for me. In this moment of seeking and listening, I rest my soul in Your hands, trusting that Your divine plan will unfold in its perfect time. Amen.
