24 June 2024 - My Concerns

My Concerns

"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1 Lord, it is time to transform my beliefs. I am putting my trust in Your unmerited favor. Today, I step out in faith to embrace the same unwavering favor that Jesus Christ has in store for me. I expect open doors and seek breakthroughs in my job, regardless of natural limitations. Lord, I am Your child, an heir of God and co-heir with Jesus Christ. I stand in the gap and dedicate 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, Aurther, Dante, Benjamin, Violette, Alison, Elma, Peet, Elmarie, Ben, kid, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina, Karina, Petro, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, and Veronica to You. Lord, I pray for each one of my family and friends today. I ask that You touch each person’s life, opening doors that are otherwise closed to us. I dedicate my day into Your hands, committing everything I do, and ask that You bless my work and help me stand firm. I forgive those who seek my destruction and pray for forgiveness of my own sins and shortcomings. Help us face today and guide us as we navigate our time. Let nothing separate us from You. I can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens me. "And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God." - Deuteronomy 28:2 Lord, I ask that You bless me and my family. We need Your supernatural favor today. I hearken to Your voice and ask that You send Your blessings to overtake each of us. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

22 June 2024 - Morning Prayer of Dedication and Request for Guidance

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. I especially pray for Rina’s family, as she passed away this week. I trust she is with You now, and we will reunite in heaven. Please comfort her family during this time of grief and let them feel Your presence. Today, I pray for Briana on her birthday. Bless her life with Your supernatural favor, both today and always. May she find favor with You and with people throughout her life. I also lift up each person I have named. Bless them with Your supernatural favor and open doors for them that need opening. Lord, I ask for wisdom in my own life. At 60 years old, I realise I still lack the wisdom I need. 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.

Good morning, Abba Father, God. You are a merciful savior and mighty deliverer. Thank you for rescuing me from darkness and sin through Jesus' sacrifice. You are victorious! I know you hear me when I cry out for help. Thank you. According to your word in Psalm 107:13-14, "Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and burst their bonds apart." Reflecting on your word this morning, I am humbled by your care for someone like me.

O dear LORD, please open doors that are otherwise shut for each person and help us today. Provide for our needs, including food, clothing, and shelter. I pray to you, LORD Jehovah Jireh, our provider. We are in need, and I humbly ask for your provision. I remind you, LORD, that you are Jehovah Nissi, our banner. Thank you, LORD, for hearing my cries this morning. I honor you, God, with Psalm 8:3-4: "When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him." Thank you, LORD, for thinking of us today. I am grateful that you keep us in mind. When I see your magnificent work, I am humbled by your greatness. You are wonderful, mighty, and awesome—the invisible God, always near and watching over us. Help us today as we navigate our tasks and reach our goals. James 5:16 says, "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." LORD, I have confessed my sins to you and pray for your forgiveness. I am humbled by the outcomes of my actions and ask for your forgiveness in humility. Thank you, LORD, for answered prayers. Help me renew my mind. Grant supernatural favor to each person on my list. Open doors of great opportunity and guide us through our days. Let your will be done in my life. Though it's easier said than done, please help me walk in step with you today. I commit everything I do into your hands. Make a straight path for me, my family, and friends. I call out to you for guidance, wisdom, insight, and understanding. Grant me the desires of my heart, in the name of Jesus Christ. In desperate need, I pray for a way forward. Show me what you want me to do. I need your guidance, sponsorships, exhibitions, and delegate tickets. Please help me. In the glorious name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Blessings and honor to you, God my Father. Amen.

LORD help mom

"As I face a dark moment in my life, I'm searching for a lifeline of encouragement. I'm feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn. With over 30,000 verses in the Bible, it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack to discover a life verse that will speak directly to my heart. Right now, I'm struggling to encourage myself as my mom is going through a tough time with financial struggles and lack of provisions. I feel discouraged, afraid, and uncertain about the future. It's like everything I hold dear is under attack and out of reach. As I read about King David's story in 1 Samuel 30, I see that he, too, faced a similar crisis when his families were kidnapped and everything they had was destroyed. But instead of giving up, he chose to "encourage himself in the Lord" (1 Samuel 30:6). That's exactly what I need to do – encourage myself in the Lord. In Psalm 119:28, I'm reminded to "strengthen [myself] according to [God's] word." And in Joshua 1:9, I'm urged to be strong and courageous, not fearing or being dismayed, because God is always with me. I confess that I've failed God in many ways, but I choose to sing the joy of the Lord as my strength. I pray that You would help me take You into my life today and guide me through this difficult season. Please help my mom as well. Help me find my way forward and trust in Your goodness and provision."

Morning Devotion: Seeking Strength and Guidance

Good morning, Abba Father. Great and mighty are You, LORD my God. I worship and praise Your Holy Name. Abba, You are wonderful, and I adore You with all my heart, soul, and mind. Thank You, Abba, for a new day. Thank You for being patient, kind, and understanding towards me. 1 Chronicles 16:11 reminds me, “Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually!” Today, LORD, I seek You. Abba, I seek Your strength and desire to be in Your presence every day. I humbly commit my day and work into Your hands, surrendering my life and everything I do to You. O Abba, I love You so very much. As I navigate through my day, Your Word is my guide. In Matthew 11:28, You say, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” I stand before You this morning, asking for Your hand to shield me, my family, and my friends. I dedicate each person I name into Your hands: Andus, me, 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, Aurther, Dante, Benjamin, Violette, Alison, Elma, Peet, Elmarie, Ben, Kid, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina, Karina, Petro, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, and Veronica. LORD, each of us carries burdens we cannot bear alone. I come humbly before You, laying down my burdens. I worry about my mom, Oom Frik, my husband, children, grandchildren, and stepchildren. You know our circumstances and what we face each day. Abba, without You, we are nothing. I pray and stand in the gap for each one today, bringing Elma, Karina, and Rina into Your presence. You know what they face. Help them all today. God, thank You for showing me true love. Your will is for the world to know You, walk with You, and love You. In Your presence, I find joy. O Abba, today, please show me how I can share Your love with those around me. I present myself before You this morning, along with everyone I am thinking of. Abba, I ask that You meet me in my failures, struggles, brokenness, and despair. LORD, I need Your Holy Spirit, and Jesus, I ask You to be my guide. As I clothe myself with You, LORD Jesus Christ, protect each one of us today. We cannot do without You. Help me, please, LORD my God. Father, You know my needs before I ask. I remind You, LORD, about my sponsorships, exhibitions, and delegate tickets. I ask that You open the doors for each person I have brought before You. Only You know what we face. Thank You, LORD, for hearing my prayer. I praise and worship You. In the name of Jesus Christ, thank You, Lord, for today. Amen.

A Morning Prayer of Humility and Gratitude

Good morning, Abba Father. LORD, to honor You, I am humbled that You even notice me. In all humility, I want to say thank You for being a God who cares about me. Thank You, LORD God, for being my God. I have no other god but You. I cannot imagine any other god as great and merciful as You are. I will bow down and worship You alone, LORD, my God. Thank You for being with me every step of the way. Forgive me when I stray and do my own thing. I ask for forgiveness for my sins, both known and unknown, today, LORD. Abba Father, today I take Your yoke upon me. Help me learn from You, for You are gentle and humble in heart, and let me find rest for my soul. For Your yoke is easy, and Your burden is light. Today, God, I am humbled that You carefully consider my life. Even though I am here on earth for just a moment, You care deeply about that moment. When I think about this, it humbles me. O LORD, who am I that the God of the universe cares about someone like me? Thank You for loving me. Today, please show me how to consider others as You have considered me. LORD, my God, to You who is able to do far more than we ask, think, or imagine, to You be all glory, honor, and praise. Ephesians 3:20–21 El Simchath Gili—God, my exceeding joy—today I want to feel many emotions, but I want joy to be at the forefront of my life. Abba, I want to dedicate and pray for my family and friends today. LORD, may the God of hope fill each one of us with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit we may abound in hope. LORD, I want to pray over each person I name today. I speak the name of JESUS over each one. I dedicate and pray that the blessings of the LORD make us rich, and He adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22 I pray for: Jean, Jacklyn, Andus, me, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jnr, Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Johan, Odette, Anabelle, Briana, Mom, Oom Frik, Elsa, Llewelyn, Zelda, Sean, Patrick, Duane, Nikita, Matthew, Elijah, Paul, Carla, Jadyn, Adam, Jocelyn, Aurther, Dante, Benjamin, Violette, Alison, Elma, Peet, Elmarie, Ben, kid, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina, Karina, Petro, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, Veronica. LORD, as we navigate our way through this day, I pray and ask that You heal us, protect us, and watch over us. Thank You for giving us all things. You, LORD, justify, and You, LORD Jesus, are interceding for each one of us. Today, I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over each person I bring before You. I ask that we may be surrounded by Your angels. Thank You for hearing my prayer. Thank You for being my LORD. Let Your will be done today in our lives. I ask that we all may have the breakthroughs we've been praying for. You know each of us, and You know we cannot do life on our own. Please keep Your hand over our lives. Where there is lack, I pray for an abundance of provision. Where there is sickness, please bring healing. Where there is strife, help us work towards unity and care for each other. Blessings and honor are due to You, LORD, my God. Your hand is not shortened; I believe You will provide and bring us what we need. Thank You for sending Your angels to protect and help us. I praise and worship You. Thank You, LORD, in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.

Blessed are the people whose God is the LORD! As I start my day, I declare Your Word over each person I have brought to You in prayer. We are what the Word says we are.

Thank You, LORD my God, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Amen.

A Prayer of Dedication and Trust in the LORD

Good morning, Father God. LORD God, I want to honor You with every thought, idea, intention, and action. Today, I give You permission to transform me. Let my entire life be a testament to Your glory and honor. You are holy and worthy of all my praise and adoration. My life is Yours. Proverbs 3:5-6 (ESV) says, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Today, I dedicate and pray specifically for my family and friends, bringing each person before You in humble prayer: Jacques, Didi, Gizel, Cuba, Devan, Johan, Odette, Anabelle, Briana, Jean, Jacklyn, Andus, me, Alezandra, Pieter, Andus Jr., 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, their children, Douw, Zayeen, Megan, Josh, Hannelie, Alan, Rina, Karina, Petro, Wilma, Koos, Saddika, Kevin, Moosa, Aneesa, Lorraine, Kiewiet, Deon, and Veronica. I specifically ask that You keep Your hand over each person I have mentioned this morning. Where doors are closed, I pray that You will open the right ones at the right time. As we navigate our lives today, make straight our paths and help each of us to acknowledge You as our LORD and Savior. Philippians 2:1-3 (ESV) says, “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.” LORD, I humbly pray that You will renew my mind. I am encouraged by You, Lord Jesus. Today, I pray that You complete our joy and help us not to be selfish, but to consider our family and friends. This morning, I stand in humble prayer and dedicate my family and friends into Your hands. You are Jehovah Jireh – the LORD who provides. You know each one of us. I bring each of us before You today. Where there is lack, I stand in the gap and pray for Your provision. Where there is sickness and worry, please bring healing. Many times, we feel uncertain about how we will pay our bills each month. Please let none of us feel terrified. We put our faith and trust in You. Thank You, LORD, for hearing my concerns. Matthew 7:11 (ESV) says, “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” LORD, I ask that You help each one of us and bless each person I named, in Jesus' name, according to Your Word. Philippians 4:19 (ESV) says, “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” I speak this word over every name I called out before You today. As I sit here speaking to You, LORD, it has been a tough year, and much is going on in each of our lives. I ask that You have mercy on each one of us today, for Your mercy is new every morning. I pray for supernatural favor from You and from people. Bless each person and keep us safe. Let Your will be done in our lives. You know my concerns and worries. Please take them to heart, but most of all, help me be the person You created me to be. Create in me a clean heart and a pure spirit. Give me the strength I need to continue. LORD, I bring my work into Your presence and ask for Your help in securing the necessary sponsorships, exhibitions, and delegate tickets. Open the doors wider that I have already begun to open, not to make me look great, but to help me assist my boss. I ask this in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.

Keep us safe and protect us from harm. When we pass through the waters, You will be with us; through the rivers, they will not overwhelm us; when we walk through fire, we shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume us (Isaiah 43:2). Lord, I confess my sins and ask for Your forgiveness for known and unknown sins. I repent and pray for Your hand to rest on me today. I want to draw near to You and pray for the lives of each family member and friend. Keep us safe and protect us. I dedicate each of us into Your hands today. Let Your will be done in our lives. Thank You, Lord, for providing for us and for keeping us. Thank You for the good things You give us each day, for opening doors that are otherwise closed, and for allowing us to call on You daily. Thank You for blessing the work of our hands, for blessing our efforts, and for making our paths smooth. Lord, let Your Holy Spirit surround us and keep us safe. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over each person. I bring each person to You, believing that You are our God and King, and You have called each of us by name. I love You, Lord. In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.

Where do you think God will source the resources to meet your needs?

“Giving thanks unto the Father...who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” - Colossians 1:12-13 If you find yourself struggling financially despite the Bible’s promises of prosperity and all the prayers you’ve offered, consider this: Where do you think God will source the resources to meet your needs? Many believers unknowingly limit God by focusing on the finite resources of this world rather than the infinite riches of God’s kingdom. Their faith wavers when they think of the unstable earthly economy, the shortages, and the scarcity around them. They ask, "How can God bless me amid all this?" If you’ve had these thoughts, here’s a perspective that can change everything! The Bible tells us God has “delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son.” To be translated means to be moved from one place to another. Essentially, your primary citizenship is not of this earth. You are not first and foremost an American, Canadian, or Australian―you are primarily a citizen of God’s kingdom. This means the conditions of this world do not dictate whether your needs are met. The Bible assures us that God will meet your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19)! You can rely on heaven’s economy, not earth’s economy―and in heaven, there is always more than enough. Embrace the abundance of heaven that has been granted to you through Jesus. Recognize that you’ve been moved from a world of lack into a kingdom of abundance. Rejoice, for the limitless resources of heaven are available to you! Prayer Heavenly Father, thank You for providing for me each day according to Your riches in glory. I don't fully understand the economy, and my finances often fall short. Yet, I am grateful that You have not forgotten me and continue to provide. If I have sinned against You knowingly or unknowingly, please forgive me, Lord. I forgive the person I have been speaking to You about and release them in Jesus Christ’s name, asking that You also set me free. Although I don’t always understand how things work, You have been so faithful to me that I can't imagine how my life would be without Your mercy and guidance. Great is Your mercy and wonderful is Your name. All glory and honor belong to You, Lord, my God. Thank You for forgiving my sins and for hearing me when I call out to You. I am deeply grateful that You are still my God. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
