#Attitudes

People do have the ability to affect my attitude and some days are really difficult for me in controlling how I act. The thing that makes me angry is that people are entitled to having an off-day and feeling a little under the weather but I am never allowed that luxury.

My journey is difficult and when it comes to my attitude I really struggle with my emotions and some days are really difficult and I am just not in control over how I feel.  Those days are when I feel I am under attack and then I don’t have any support at all.

Well in trying to maintain a positive and good attitude I do feel a little disappointed in that the person I feel I should rely on actually doesn’t even think that I am having an off-day.

I am reminded to “be clean, you who bear the vessels of the Lord.” Isaiah 52: 11 My sight is blurred and I need my windshields clean.  

Prayer

Lord please helps me cleanse my eyes, my heart and my mind and soul. My attitude is good and bad at the best of times; I am asking You to please help me. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen

#WorshipGod

Abba Father, God I praise you because you are a shield around me.  O LORD, you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.

My life is nothing without you.

Praise and worship YOU LORD, I am praising You and Worship YOU.

Thank You For today, thank You Lord in Jesus Christs Name, Amen

#JesusChrist

Psalm 103 : 3 “Who forgives all your iniquities.”

I have been struggling with a really low self-esteem.  I have been constantly beating myself up, constantly hurting myself, and constantly punishing myself. I have prayed about my problems and the problem is I am constantly reminded that I am a sinful person and that my life isn’t perfect.

Thank You Lord Jesus Christ for dying on the cross for all my sins, today I accept Your forgiveness in my life and I forgive myself for the mistakes that I have made. No one is perfect and anyone who wants to point a finger towards me, forgive them Lord.  They may be more righteous than I am and I forgive them and set them free.

I accept my healing from YOU LORD Jesus and I accept that I have been bought by Your blood and that I am able to forgive myself for the mistakes that I have made in my own life.  I am Your child and I know that I can stand on Your word.

Amen

#prayer_for_relief_from_contempt

Psalm 123 (NKJV)

Prayer for Relief from Contempt

A Song of Ascents.

123 Unto You I lift up my eyes,
O You who dwell in the heavens.
² Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress,
So our eyes look to the Lord our God,
Until He has mercy on us.

³ Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us!
For we are exceedingly filled with contempt.
⁴ Our soul is exceedingly filled
With the scorn of those who are at ease,
With the contempt of the proud.

#influence

1 Corinthians 9: 22 ESV “To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people that by all means I might save some.”

Some people aren’t influenced by anything you say or do. They are stubborn and will go out of their way to do everything in their own way. In the beginning it would make me so angry. I have realized that they want to show you they are different and have their own perspective on life.

Take for instance a simple procedure, I have instructed you the old tried, tested and trusted way. These people will just look at you and do the exact opposite. Disregarding the steps and ignoring the procedures which we implemented.

How do you influence these kinds of people? I don’t believe you can and if you are able it would take time, patience and skill. Now I ask “are you really worth my time and energy?” 

You say find common ground and then building something from there. I have been looking and to be honest there isn’t common ground. I have resorted to handing them over to God.

Prayer

Lord thank You for hearing my prayers, I sometimes feel that I fail at so many things in life but I realize that You are still in control. I am not in a position to influence people and that is why I pray for wisdom and understanding. LORD guidance and also patience. In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  Amen
