Laid before the Throne of Grace

A Prayer for Forgiveness and Guidance

  1. For the times I got mad at you for not having my way, I ask that you forgive me Father. I honour your wisdom. 
  2. For the times I was, in a way, dictating how you should show up for me, I ask that you forgive me. Your plans are the only way I’d rather have my life unfold.
  3. For the times I gave you titles because of what you did or were to do for me, I ask that you forgive me. You are a provider; you are my helper, regardless. 
  4. For predicting how you would show up because you did so the last time, I ask that you forgive me. May I never get complacent; I pray for diligence when it comes to the things of God. 
  5. For the many times I expected you to show up for me a certain way because you did for them, I apologise . Your decisions have always been better than mine. You care for me and I am your child.
  6. For the times I didn’t see you though you were always with me, I ask that you forgive me. I pray for a meek heart and a surrendered spirit to the things that have your heart.
  7. For the times I allowed fear and lies to overtake my heart and mind, I ask that you forgive me. For the Spirit of truth lives in me; you live in me.
  8. For my ignorance, I ask that you forgive me. I pray for a prudent heart, that I may be in tune with the Spirit of God, not susceptible to distraction. 
  9. For the times I spent more time on distractions draining my soul instead of spending time in your presence or doing things good for my holistic health, I ask that you forgive me. Teach me your ways; guide me through your will. 
  10. For the times I knew better and didn’t do better, I ask that you forgive me. Take more of me and give me more of you. 
  11. For the times I insisted on my way; I decided without seeking your counsel, I ask that you forgive me. I need your wonderful counsel; I need and honour your leadership. I am nothing without you. My whole existence is you. Help me live my life your way; help me not hold myself back. Align my will with your will.
  12. For the times my heart broke because I expected “more” from you, I ask for forgiveness. I understand now that you are always for me; working even when I don’t feel or see it. Every outcome speaks of your greatness.
  • You are God because you are. 
  • You are good because you are.

Being physically, mentally and socially fit

 Staying healthy is about being physically, mentally and socially fit. I have been feeling extremely tired lately, everyone at work is huffing and puffing internally as we throw around the word "pushing" when we greet and pass by the corridors. At first i was convinced the pills am taking my body is now rejecting, i am now relieved it is what everyone is feeling and not my treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. One of these past days i woke up feeling super uncomfortable    my body was giving close to crippled bro. My reasoning behind this is most joints on my body are inflamed so my body is taking a hit. Health issues plus work can be a dead end.  Listen, I have seborrheic dermatitis, I always had it I just thought i just struggle with dandruff. I was totally unaware it’s a “skin health condition “. Now it’s on my face (foreheads , brows, side of my nose and chin) and chille… it is currently flaring, the itch is so uncomfortable. I need to visit a dermatologist very so...

A gruesome morning A courageous day

It is the night of the 11th of February i get into bed i set my alarm for 4am. An hour earlier than usual because i intend to clean my house before i go to work so that when i return i am only faced with laundry for a chore. I lay down and sleep, i wake up the Lord is still sustaining me. However, i feel close to crippled. My body screams 'today is so impossible!'  I get up regardless and decide to eat a bit so i can stomach the medication and give my body 30 more minutes of rest.  I usually refuse to take meds as prescribed; two to three times a day instead i take them once in the evening to avoid complete dependency on the medication. This morning is different and calls for desperate measures. It is 4;30 am i decide to make my bed and activate my plan. I do so as i give thanks to God and express my hurt at the same time. I obviously question when is the end ever coming. I give thanks again for all i have and am able to do. like hope, like resilience, like peace while i ackno...

Another way to explain my excitement

I am so excited that Mpoomy Ledwaba released a book. My girl did it! Now what’s left is for me to get my hands on it. My excitement comes from reflecting on when I started watching her YouTube videos, back when she first began on the red app. She has matured in business, relationships, and as an individual. It is inspiring and a reminder of my own potential for success. I am a girl’s girl, and I love to see girls grow and succeed. Another way to explain my excitement is that she’s the kind of person who reminds me of my own anointing. Story time So yesterday, I spent two hours in the presence of my Father, talking to Him and picking His brain. I felt so much inner peace and strength; I felt happy and liberated. I learned a lot from just three points, but I will mention two of these lessons summarized into quotes. Feel free to dissect them and interpret them as applicable to your own personal experiences. - When I am faced with a situation that tempts me to ask, “What is the point?” may...
