The road ahead looks a bit blurry. January has flown by and we're now in February 2013. New Year's resolutions were made and we were off to a good start. Then we looked around and realized despite our good feelings, best efforts and strong attempts at keeping things positive, nothing seems like it changed much, since the new year started. If it has, it's definitely not happening the way you pictured it would. This can be discouraging and cause you to get off course or stop altogether. I'm in the place of fighting off a feeling of discouragement and this evening I had to stop and pray and wanted to share my prayer as I encouraged myself, I felt there might be someone else who needs it too. Remembering that delay is not denial.
My prayer for Us for February: I speak to the gifts that are on the inside of us, to be stirred up in a way that overtakes us, for the benefit of others. I speak against the limitations we've put on ourselves and the one's we've accepted from others. We are walking miracles! We are powerful beyond belief, we are conquerors of the impossible! I speak against fear, doubt, self-sabotage, inadequacy, low self-esteem, laziness, defeat, every single negative word that has ever been spoken to us and the acceptance of failure. I speak peace, joy, love, hope, power and a sound & renewed mind into our lives on a daily basis. This is our new normal. Everything is possible for those who believe. I pray we will go back to believing in ourselves. I pray against every type of distraction that tries to pull us away from our purpose & destiny. I pray no matter what, no matter how it looks, or what we are facing, we don't lose hope. I pray courage over us to keep pressing and a stubbornness to the point of reaching success as the only option we will accept. It's in Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen.

This is so on time! I wish the world could read this prayer.
ReplyDeletethank you so much for this thoughtful prayer.
ReplyDeleteIris, sometimes, it's hard for us to be transparent with each other when things aren't where they need to be. However, when I was done praying, I thought, "I couldn't be the only person who needed this right now, the reminder if nothing else." I'm glad I shared it and it was able to bless you and others!! Please share it with someone else and keep sharing it!
ReplyDeleteGod is so awesome and creative. You might not remember meeting me mths ago in Atlanta but after seeing your picture I remember you. We met at an art show. We met then so this night could happen. This email came in perfect timing. I'm at a point where I'm wondering where is my overflow and trying to keep patience on top of keeping the Faith. From experience I know he is on time and my blessings are on the way. For everyone out there that come across on comment just look back on ways he has blessed you in the past and this will give you reassurance that your blessing is on the way. Ms. Smith I pray all is well. One love ppl
