MELT MY 💗 Daily Dose - 1 Chronicles 16:11 - Prayer to Seek God's Presence & Protection

MELT MY 💗 Daily Dose - 1 Chronicles 16:11 (NIV)

'Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.'

Came across this prayer as soon as I came online and it's exactly what I needed today to refresh my spirit so I have decided to re-blog.  With the Pandemic going on, a lot of us have lost family members, friends, some have lost there jobs, this is really a dark period for us and we constantly have to make an effort or at least try to refresh our spirits.  May God's love and protection continue to be upon us and may he give us the strength to endure these trying times.  This too shall pass💗

Prayer to Seek God's Presence & Protection:

God, I ask you to forgive me for all the times I have been ungrateful for the things I have and what you have given me. Forgive me for being so blinded by comparisons with others that I become unable to see all the goodness and blessings in my life. 

Turn my heart around so that I can experience the things that are for me to the fullest without looking down on them, for I know that things could be much worse and others would die to be in my position. 

Your Word is clear “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you” (Joshua 1:9), so I ask Lord that you may lay your hand on anyone feeling afflicted and discouraged in the presence of the events of the world,

 that you may keep them protected and that your ever lasting love can be felt in every single corner of the Earth, because you have plans for all of us, as your Word declares: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11). 

Give us the strength to trust in your plan God Almighty and to have ever lasting life in your presence. Forgive us for our misdemeanors and the mistakes we make which bring you disappointment. We ask for your mercy, love and protection from anything and anyone trying to harm us as your beloved children.

In the name of Jesus, we have prayed. Amen🙏

MELT MY 💗 Daily Dose - Psalm 23 - My Refreshment

MELT MY 💗 Daily Dose - Psalm 23 (NKJ)

MELT MY ♥ Daily Dose - Psalm 9:1 - Thank u, Thank u, Thank you LORD

                          MELT MY ♥ Daily Dose - Psalm 9:1  (NIV)

  'I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;

    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.'

Sometimes we are so caught up with the storms in life that we tend to miss God's blessing's in our lives. The little things we take for granted is treasured by others.  The fact that you are able to read this, you can hear, move around is a big blessing.  If you have a terminal illness and live in a developed country, even though the doctors have said that you have no hope, thank God that you have the opportunity to great medical care.  Think about others in countries with limited medical care or experts.

I remember hitting rock bottom with no job, healthcare and my unemployment benefit was cut.  I only had $5 to my name, sleeping in an empty studio with only a deflated air mattress, yes, I was literally sleeping on the floor.  One night I had a severe migraine that had me laying in a fetus position on the concrete floor.  With my $5 to last through the week, heading to the Pharmacy to buy medication was not an option, they were all over $5 a bottle.  I literally cried all night and had to wait until the next morning at 8.am to run to Dollar Tree (a store that sells items starting from $1), to buy a bottle of Advil Migraine for $1:-)  

In this situation, I thank God that I had a roof over my head, heat, water, God gave me strength to endure, I had $5 (could have been $0), access to a Dollar Tree and I got better after taking the medication.  In every situation we should give thanks to God.  The devil will try to focus your energy on the negative, soon as you start praising God you feel a sense of strength.  Do remember Christianity is not only about the "feel good' sermons, there is also suffering, a lot of suffering actually.  I will get into this more in the near future.  Take time to think about God's goodness in your life, praise him and give thanks,  Remember he loves you unconditionally♥
