#Tuesday #prayer

1 Samuel 1: 11

“And she vowed a vow and said,
“O LORD of hosts, if you will
indeed look on the affliction of
your servant and remember me
and not forget your servant,
but will give to your servant a son,
then I will give him to the
LORD all the days of his life,
and no razor shall touch his head.”

Praying should be part of our Christian walk each and every day.  We see Hannah praying asking God to bless her life with a son.  Her earnest prayer is answered and she does bear a child.

It is no secret I have been really praying for my attitude and the way I view people.  The people that disappointed me is now in the past and I am moving forward.

My prayer today is asking the LORD of hosts if there is anything He wants to say to me.  I want to know if there is anything I need to know that I’m not thinking about. 

I am also praying that the LORD of hosts will open my eyes so that I may see the wonderful truth in the LORD of host’s law. (Psalm 119: 18)

I believe you also need to pray about the things in your own life as well as your family and friends.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, LORD of hosts, I want to humbly pray and ask You is there anything You want to say to me.  LORD of hosts, is there anything I need to know that I’m not thinking about.  Because I feel that I cannot do anything without Your hand of protection and guidance in my own life, I am asking You today.  LORD hears my call, open my eyes and let me see what You want me to see. 

You know my heart LORD and I come humbly before YOU today and thank YOU for Your loving-kindness and generosity towards someone like me in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  Amen

Light my way Lord.

Psalm 119: 5
“Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light for my path.”

Guarding my heart and mind is a choice, the decision not to ponder and think about people that are acrimonious in nature. The aphorism “what goes around, comes around,” plagues my mind today.

Yes I was humbled not once but twice this weekend. I don’t want to tell you about my humbling experience but I must say it wasn’t a nice feeling. So when you pray humble me o Lord, be careful what you ask for.

The mature thing I should do is drop this whole saga and move on with my life. Yes, I was humbled and the person took me one hundred percent for a ride.  The lesson I learned is that people will disappoint you and only God is true.

Lady I forgive you, I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will forgive you too. I set you free and hope that what your heart desire will be given to you. I also pray about the other person I set you free and ask that the Lord will give you what you so desire.

Prayer

Lord these people I bring humbly before you, I know they both judged me and that they believe I got what I deserve. I forgive both of them. Lord I pray that You will bless them today, that whatever it is they desire give it to them, money, men, food whatever.  Give it to them in abundance.

I forgive them in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ and I ask forgive me for harboring a grudge the whole of Sunday.  Amen

What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger!

Zechariah 3: 1
“Then he showed me Joshua the high priest
standing before the angel of the
LORD,
and Satan standing
at his right hand to accuse him.”

In reflection over the past couple of weeks I feel like I am being accused and that I am under the spice glass.  I see how my husband has been acting for more than two weeks, I see how people I do not know have been treating me.  It makes me angry because I don’t know what I did to get them to be so negative towards me.

My thoughts are they believe they are righteous and that I don’t sit well with them.  I feel disappointed in the fact that I am constantly accused of all strange things.  I don’t want to air my views but I feel hurt by these accusations.

My seamstress is a big disappointment, her initial price for the dress was R1,300.  She charged me R2,000 for a straight dress with no support and the bling was a big disappointment.  On this point I feel that I would never support her business ever again and I wish her all the luck in the world because she is going to need it.

So do I feel that I am under attack damn straight I am and I realized there isn’t anything I can do about it.

Prayer

Lord Jesus You know my husband and the seamstress, their motives and their fears and what they both are going through.  Lord please keep Your hand of protection over them, bless them today with abundance and let them have supernatural favor with You as well as with people.  In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen.

Prayer for thanksgiving.

Philippians 1: 3-10
 I thank my God in every remembrance of you,
 always offering every prayer of mine with joy
[and with specific requests] for all of you,  [thanking God]
for your participation and partnership
[both your comforting fellowship and gracious contributions]
in [advancing] the good news [regarding salvation]
from the first day [you heard it] until now.
I am convinced and confident of this very thing,
that He who has begun a good work in you will
[continue to] perfect and complete it until the
day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].
It is right for me to feel this way about you,
because [you have me in your heart as]
I have you in my heart,
since both in my imprisonment and in
the defence and confirmation of the
good news [regarding salvation],
all of you share in [His matchless] grace with me. 

Today it is my prayer that you will receive the Holy Spirit into your life and that all supernatural favor will rest over you.  I pray that God will ignite a flame in your heart that will burn for the love of Jesus Christ.

I pray for supernatural favor in your life with God and people, I thank God for people like you, constantly reading my blog.  I pray the Lord will touch your lives and bless you with supernatural riches and blessings.

I thank the Lord my God for this opportunity in sharing my thoughts and feeling with you.  I want to encourage you to keep reading knowing that I am praying for you as well.

You are more than a conquer in the Lord Jesus Christ.  Love and blessings are prayed over your lives.

A great woman!

2 Kings 4: 8
“One day Elisha went to Shunem and a well-to-do woman was there,
who urged him to stay for a meal.
So whenever he came by,
he stopped there to eat.”

In this day and age I must be honest I really don’t know too many woman that are great in my eyes.  I doubt if they are true Christian woman their actions speak for them.  I am striving each and every day to become great, it is my heart’s desire to place God first in my life.

The Shunem woman was a great woman; she saw Elisha and knew who he was.  She prepared a room for him and invited him to stay there whenever he came past her house.  So from my point of view she place God first in her life.

Did she lack anything?  No she was a “well-to-do” woman and it is she had lack of nothing but there was something so dearly wanted.  She didn’t have children and her heart’s desire was to have a child.  Do you think she asked Elisha for a child?  No, Elisha found out she wanted a child and prayed for her.

A tragedy hits her house hold and her son dies.  She places him on his bed and goes in search of Elisha she doesn’t go around crying and telling everybody her kid died.  She looks for the source who is able to help her.

Elisha revives the child from death and he lives her prayers were answered.

I feel that I am standing in a room and my dream looks like it is dead, I need to have it revived, I need a God breath over my dream. 

Prayer

Heavenly Father, Lord You know what my dream is all about, I bring it before You and I pray for a revival of my dream.  Lord I need You to breathe life into my dream, You are my first port of contact in the morning and my last one in the evening.  I am asking You humbly breathe life into my dream.  In the Holy Name of Jesus Christ.  Amen

#needs

Philippians 4: 19
And my God will supply every need of yours
according to his riches in
glory in Christ Jesus.

I believe God knows what we need and when we need it.  Sometimes we don’t know what we need and we also don’t know how to ask for it.

The Apostle Paul reminds us that God will supply every need of ours.  We think it needs to be money, clothes and material wealth.

What about our spiritual lives?  Don’t we need guidance, supernatural favor with God and with people?  What about being able to study and read our bibles?

I want so many things in my life and I seem to want more and more and it seem that it isn’t enough.  What I do realize is at some stage it is a total waste and many of the things I have is sitting on my shelves and I used it only once.

It is my heart’s desire to change and become more and more like the Lord Jesus Christ, perhaps I should focus my time and energy on the Word of God and learn more from it.  Praying for the necessary wisdom and insight to be given to me, asking God for the necessary wisdom and understanding for each and every day.  Helping people around me and encouraging them with the Word.

Prayer

O Lord God, thank You that You know my needs, today I saw how You speak to me through other people.  You know what I need and You supply according to my needs.  Awesome and wonderful God thank You.  Lord I want to pray asking that You will help me and guide me in my personal life.  I think of someone special in my life, and I pray for an anointing in their lives.  Lord touching each and every one I love.  In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

#obedience

2 Kings 5: 9 – 10
“So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the
door of Elisha’s house.  And Elisha sent a messenger to him,
saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times,
and your flesh shall be restored,
and you shall be clean.”

When I start reading what Elisha was doing I feel encouraged and I believe that we serve an awesome God.  Now Naaman was a commander in the army of the king of Syria and he was a leper.  They had captured a little girl from Israel and she told her master to go to the King of Israel because she knew that Naaman could be healed.

On hearing this King of Syria sent Naaman with a letter to the king of Israel with gifts asking that Naaman be healed.  Well, the King of Israel was super angry because he didn’t have the ability to heal anybody.  Elisha heard about the king tearing his clothes and Elisha said “why have you torn your clothes?”  Send Naaman to me.

Naaman came to the prophet and a messenger came out of Elisha’s house telling Naaman to go and wash seven times in the Jordan.  The man was enraged and couldn’t believe the odasity in being told to take a wash.  But Naaman’s servants said “try it what have you to lose?”

Naaman went and dipped in the Jordan seven times, he became as a little child, all the leprosy gone.

Prayer

O Lord God, we can be so obnoxious and full of it, we believe that we are able to do whatever we put our minds to.  A simple instruction seems so silly and why listen, but in being obedient You are able to do far more than what we know or imagine.  Thank You, Lord God, for supernatural blessings in our lives when we listen and obey You.  I love You, I Love You Lord, in the Holy Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen

#snitch

2 Kings 6: 11 – 14
“And the mind of the king of Syria was greatly troubled
because of this thing, and he called his servants and said to them,
“Will you not show me who of us is for the king of Israel?”
And one of his servants said, “None, my lord, O king;
but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel
the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
And he said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him.”
It was told him, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
So he sent there horses and chariots
and a great army, and they came by night
and surrounded the city.”

When I was reading this passage in 2 Kings 6 I had to laugh.  Imagine talking to your wife or husband confidentially and everything you told them come to light?  I would believe that someone was standing by the door and eavesdropping.

The Syrian King was upset and he even asked his servants who was telling all his secret plans to seize the King of Israel, was there a snitch in the place?

I must be honest and tell you that I would love to know what the enemy is planning against me so that I know how to get away from it.  Elisha was a voice of God speaking to the King of Israel warning him against disaster and sudden attacks.

I believe the moment we come into sink with God the Holy Spirit creates awareness within us against disaster and sudden attack.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, O LORD my God, thank You for the Holy Spirit that creates awareness within us of any dangers that may come our way.  Thank You for keeping us save and watching over us.  Thank You for keeping me under the umbrella of your loving kindness and supernatural favor in our lives.  In the name of Jesus Christ Amen

He is able to do immeasurably more than I can imagine.

Ephesians 3: 20-21
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine,
according to his power that is at work within us,
to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations,
for ever and ever! Amen”

Again I am in hopeful expectation for something immeasurably more than I can ask for or even imagine.  God is in control of my life and I am expecting His supernatural favor in my own life, can you feel it?

I feel excited and looking forward to something spectacular to happen in my life and I am waiting in anticipation.

I am coming out of my comfort zone and trusting in God to open the right doors at the right time, I am waiting for a unexpected shift in my own life. You know the suddenly experiences, one thing after another after another.

When I was expecting my daughter the night before she was born I knew that she was going to make her appearance the next day.  I could feel her adjusting and moving around in my tummy.  I was both excited and scared.  I knew what was waiting for me and to top it off I was glad the time was now.

Prayer

Lord in believing and trusting that You are able to do immeasurably more than what I can ask for or imagine, I bring my personal life before You.  Touch my life and heal my brokenness and guide me.  In the holy name of Jesus Christ Amen
