May we soar like eagles today. 30 June 2024

Good morning, Abba Father.

Lord, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.” I praise Your holy name, for You are holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty. There is none like You. Thank You for a new day, for keeping me safe, and for guiding me through each day. I acknowledge that I cannot do life on my own. This morning, I humble myself before You, Abba Father, my LORD. You are worthy of my praise. I love and worship You. Come into my life today; I want to fall deeply in love with You. “For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison” (2 Corinthians 4:17). LORD, as I reflect on this verse, I admit that as I age, fear grows within me. I am less inclined to take risks and more prone to worry about the past, present, and future. I recognisse my afflictions are temporary and preparing me for eternal glory. You know my struggles with debt and my inability to overcome them alone. Please help me, granting me wisdom, insight, and understanding. Open my eyes, ears, and heart to see opportunities clearly, for I feel veiled and unable to see. This morning, my heart yearns to fall deeply in love with You, LORD. I wish to grow spiritually and become a mature child of God. Help me to pursue You daily. I do love You, LORD, and I seek Your presence, O Holy Spirit, how I need You. LORD, please let me receive Your peace today. Let me bask in Your presence, knowing You are all around me. I am grateful that You never give up on me. Even when I don’t feel near to You, You are never far from me. You actively pursue me and never fail me. Thank You! In Your presence, I find joy, and today, I choose to draw closer to You. I want to stand in the gap for my family and friends today. I dedicate them to You: Andus, me, Alezandra & John, 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, kids, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina-Hannes, Karina, Petro, Bianca and daughter, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, Veronica. I speak Jesus Christ over each name I bring before You this morning. LORD Jesus, I ask You to protect each person and surround them with Your precious blood. You are the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. You do not grow tired or weary, and Your understanding is beyond fathoming. You give us strength and increase our power. Even though we grow tired and weary, and we may stumble and fall, our hope is in You, LORD, who renews our strength. We will soar on wings like eagles; we will run and not grow weary, we will walk and not be faint. May we soar like eagles today. Help each one of us in Jesus Christ's name. LORD Jesus, help me to explore the transformative power of Your Word so that I can understand the power of Your love, which goes beyond my personal desires and encompasses the well-being of my family and friends. Teach me to be selfless in love in my marriage and to prioritise my husband's needs above my own. Grant me Your unconditional love for everyone in my family. You know I struggle with humility towards others. Help me to love beyond myself, be humble, and serve willingly. Teach me to prioritise the needs of others. LORD Jesus, help me emulate Your example of selflessness and compassion. Today, I commit my entire day into Your hands. I ask for Your help as I trust You, LORD. I seek Your face this morning and ask You to remove the veil from my eyes so that I may see You. LORD, what are You teaching me today? Reveal Yourself to me today in Jesus Christ's name. LORD, I ask for Your light in my life. Touch my heart and give me the necessary wisdom and insight to face today. I belong to You, LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.

May this prayer inspire and uplift you. Trust in God's guidance and believe in His love and favor for you and those you care about. Reach out to Him daily, and let His wisdom and presence fill your life.

Good morning, Lord, my Father God, Today, I want to express my love for You, Lord. I know You hear and see me in everything I do. I love You, and I ask for Your guidance. Let Your will be done in my life today. You created me, and even though I may not always understand why, I believe I am Yours. Your word says You have called me by name, and I am Yours. I dedicate this day to You and pray for Andus, myself, 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, Arthur, 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.

Help me to develop wisdom to its fullest extent and to reach my full potential that You have given me. Lord, reveal Your will for my life today. Provide for my family and friends. I cannot make things happen on my own; I need You to open the doors that have been shut. I stand on Your word, Lord Jesus, and cover myself with You. Amen.

Embracing the Divine Empowerment

by Yvette van Niekerk

Psalm 46:1 (NKJV): "God, the Sanctuary for His Devotees and Victor over Nations. To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song for Alamoth. God is our sanctuary and vigour, an ever-present aid in adversity." I perpetually draw my strength from the Almighty, finding confidence and courage in Him to confront any challenge. Currently, I grapple with turbulent emotions and struggle to contain my anger towards others. I earnestly strive to temper my words, yet often find myself unintentionally expressing thoughts that would have been better left unsaid. Navigating relationships proves to be a complex endeavour. When genuine anger surges within me, it often leads to outbursts. I beseech the Lord to place a guard over my tongue, yet I persist in my efforts. I persevere in refining my disposition, steadfastly holding onto the Lord, for I believe that without Him, reaching my destination is insurmountable. I perceive myself on a tumultuous journey, endeavouring to maintain my composure while beseeching God to fortify me in the face of trials. I recognize the need for distance from certain individuals, though achieving this seems improbable. The animosity they harbour and their subtle attempts to undermine me are a formidable challenge. I earnestly pray that the Lord refrains from granting me excessive strength, for I may become an unwarranted adversary. Thus, I embarked on my spiritual voyage, relying on the Lord to fortify me and guide my path. I am engaged in an ongoing struggle with this individual, sincerely praying that they discover their own footing, that the Lord grants them their heart's desires, and that their lives flourish with prosperity and blessings. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I beseech You to shower my family with the rain we so desperately require. I am grateful and rejoice in You, my Lord God, for You have bestowed upon us the former rain in moderation, and I trust that You will send forth both the former and the latter rains in abundance. (Joel 2:23) I implore You, Lord, to let Your spiritual deluge descend, as You have promised. I cry out to the Holy Spirit, asking for the greatest harvest of souls. Lord, I confess that I cannot traverse this life without Your fortitude; I am utterly dependent on You. I uplift my family and friends to You, beseeching You, Lord, to hear my prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
