#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

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

Hannah’s Prayer – Praising God

1 Samuel 2:1-10New International Version (NIV)

Hannah’s Prayer

2 Then Hannah prayed and said:

“My heart rejoices in the Lord;
    in the Lord my horn is lifted high.
My mouth boasts over my enemies,
    for I delight in your deliverance.

² “There is no one holy like the Lord;
    there is no one besides you;
    there is no Rock like our God.

³ “Do not keep talking so proudly
    or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the Lord is a God who knows,
    and by him deeds are weighed.

⁴ “The bows of the warriors are broken,
    but those who stumbled are armed with strength.
⁵ Those who were full hire themselves out for food,
    but those who were hungry are hungry no more.
She who was barren has borne seven children,
    but she who has had many sons pines away.

⁶ “The Lord brings death and makes alive;
    he brings down to the grave and raises up.
⁷ The Lord sends poverty and wealth;
    he humbles and he exalts.
⁸ He raises the poor from the dust
    and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
he seats them with princes
    and has them inherit a throne of honor.

“For the foundations of the earth are the Lord’s;
    on them he has set the world.
⁹ He will guard the feet of his faithful servants,
    but the wicked will be silenced in the place of darkness.

“It is not by strength that one prevails;
¹⁰     those who oppose the Lord will be broken.
The Most High will thunder from heaven;
    the Lord will judge the ends of the earth.

“He will give strength to his king
    and exalt the horn of his anointed.”
