You Don't Have to Worry

You don’t have to worry, and don’t you be afraid,
Joy comes in the morning, troubles they don’t last always
But there’s a friend in Jesus who will wipe your tears away, so if your heart is broken just lift your hands and say
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in Jesus’ hands
With Jesus I can take it
With Him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way,
My life is in Jesus’ hand.
(Song by Kirk Franklin)
Sometimes we sing songs and never take a moment to ponder on what is being said. Is it edifying to my being or is it destroying?
Lets be mindful of what we perceive (hear, see, taste, smell; in general, absorb)
This write up is a song by Kirk Franklin. There might be someone out there who needs encouragement. God says you don't need to worry, just trust in Jesus.
Read it again and be blessed.

May You Keep Going And Not Give Up

My prayer for you today is that you will keep going and not give up. God is asking me to tell you to keep going and not give up. I pray that you will keep fighting and not accept defeat. Life is tough, yes, the bills are high, yes, salaries can’t keep up anymore, yes, you are hurt yes, in pain, yes, disappointed, yes, depressed and almost out, maybe, but all hope is not lost. If you are wondering where God is in all this, I pray that you will know that He has always been on your side and concerned about you and your needs. I pray that you will continue to put your trust in Him and not give up. Suicide is not the answer, self-harm is not the answer, the answer is in Christ Jesus, He died for you so you might have life, the chastisement of your peace was upon Him, He was beaten, abused and wounded for our sakes. By His stripes we are healed, you are healed; you are set free and delivered. I pray that no weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper. May all your enemies be defeated and put to shame and may they fall into the pit they have dug for you. May you find peace at work and at home. May you find peace in your marriage and in your business. May you find joy in the midst of despair. I pray that you will keep going and not be weary. Do not be weary, be encouraged. I pray today that your spirit will be lifted even though you may be feeling down. I pray that you will arise and shine for the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. There is light at the end of the tunnel, please don’t give up now. I pray that God will make a way for you to get a new job and find favour in the sight of men. I pray that He will make a way for you to be financially able and open doors of opportunity for you to prosper. You will live and not die and proclaim the glory of God. I say it again; you will live and not die and proclaim the glory of God. I pray healing into your body and soul and I pray that whatsoever you lay your hands upon shall prosper today and always. Keep the chin up. We are all in a battle and it’s not over until it’s over. Your battle belongs to the Lord, He is on your side and the victory is yours. May God encourage your heart and lift you up in mind and spirit now and always. Amen.


My encouragement for you is in 2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 16-18 (NKJV)
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

I Pray That You Will Be Grateful

My prayer for you today is that God will give you wisdom to invest your time properly so that you do not regret tomorrow what you could have done today. I pray that you will have peace so you can think properly and make good decisions. I pray that you will find the time to take a few minutes today to meditate on the goodness of God. He spared your life today; you slept and woke up while somebody somewhere did not. You were able to walk this morning while somebody somewhere could not, you have your hands to use, your eyes to see, your mouth to talk. Somebody was rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night while you were sleeping. All that you have is a blessing and I pray that you will be thankful for it.

I pray that you will be grateful for whatever little you have, as someone in another part of the world is still craving to have just a little of what you have. I pray that you will be able to help the poor and give some of your blessing to charity, as charities work hard to make sure that others have the same opportunity to be blessed with some food just as you are blessed today. I pray that your heart will be sensitive to the needs of those around you and that you will be able to lend a helping hand in time of need. God is not wicked, He needs you and I to make the world a better place. We are His hands to feed others with, we are His feet to reach others, we are His mouth, to speak His word and pray for others and we are to be a witness of His character so that men may see His light in us. When a man cries to God, “please give us our daily bread”, I pray that you will be the answer to that prayer. I pray that you will not withhold good while it is in your hand to do it.

I pray that your house will be a house of prayer, a house of peace, a house of unity and a house of blessing. I pray that God will pour out his blessing upon you and your entire family as you stand in the gap for others. I pray that you will learn to pray for others and invest your time with God. Finally, I pray that you will appreciate the blessing of God and receive His love in your life. He values you, He loves you, He appreciates you and He holds you dear to His heart. He wants to fellowship with you. He cares about you, what you are thinking, what you are doing and the affairs of your life. Your pain is His pain and your joy is His Joy. He watches over you and He has sent His angels to watch over you. He sent His Son to die for you. He is concerned about you. He is a Big Teddy Bear with a tender heart for humanity and He wants to use you to share His love with others. May you able to submit to His will and appreciate Him in your life today and always. Amen.

God's Response to Your Prayer - He wants to speak to you

My prayer for you today is that you will be still and listen to the voice of God. His still small voice wants to speak with you. Your life is in His hands. It is time to give him time to talk and direct you. You may have been asking questions but not giving Him the time to talk and respond. The voices around you are so noisy that you are not used to hearing the voice of God within your spirit. His voice is not loud, it is in the still small voice, it is in your heart and you can hear His voice if you discipline yourself enough and are willing to take time to meditate and shut out all the distractions around you. God is saying to me to tell you that He wants to respond to all your questions and give you answers. God spoke to Abraham in the Bible,

Genesis 17:22
“When He had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.”

He also spoke to Moses,

Exodus 31:18 "When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.”

God wants to speak to you today just like He spoke to Abraham and Moses in the Bible, He is willing to respond if you are willing to take the time to listen. He wants to instruct you, direct you and point you in the way of your destiny. If you don’t know how to hear His voice, talk to Him in prayer and ask Him to teach you how to hear His voice. Try and you’ll see that you will get a response because He does not lie. This is what the Bible says about Him,

Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?”

He surely wants to fulfill His promises in your life. He hasn’t changed His mind about you and I pray He never will. If you don’t listen, how will you know what to do? An answer from God will bring clarity to your life and make your path straight. An answer from God can turn your whole life around and release you from years of hopelessness, confusion and bondage. A word from God can prevent you from harm and destruction. What if you were to travel and God spoke to you asking you not to travel, would you still go ahead with your plans? God forbid that anything bad should happen, what if He was trying to stop you from being harmed or preventing you from an accident? It is very crucial that we hear and listen to God when He speaks. There is a reason why He speaks and instructs so that we do not make mistakes that can cost us our lives. Our relationship with God is a two-way relationship, just like in marriage; both partners have to take the time to listen to each other and fellowship together. Would it not be selfish on the one part if only one partner speaks all the time and the other doesn’t get the chance to get a word in? God would like you to give Him the opportunity to get a word into your spirit, you have prayed enough, now is the time to listen. I pray that you will stop for a moment, meditate on Him and be still so that you can hear what He has to say to you. God has heard you, He has heard your cries, your prayers, your requests, now is the time for an answer and He says that I should tell you that He wants to speak to you NOW, TODAY. Will you listen? God bless you as you take the time to listen to the voice of wisdom.

Prayer for the Suffering

Today I pray that we will remember the people suffering in Burma, China and in other parts of the world. Where there is suffering, may the Lord bring comfort and hope. Where there is weeping and mourning, may God turn every sorrow into joy. May the sick and suffering find help in time of need and may God wipe all tears away from their eyes. We pray for all families involved in the earthquake in China and victims of the cyclone in Burma that God will intervene and send His angels to comfort and watch over the children and families who are suffering and in pain. May the world be changed through the love of Christ, may all who suffer find hope and strength in time of pain and sorrow. May God restore each nation back to its former glory. May God influence the decision of leaders all over the world so that they will make good decisions that will bring peace, which will help and prosper their people. May God bring peace where there is war. As you go about your daily lives, I pray that you will remember to pray for all troubled nations of the world. Pray for suffering children and their families, orphans and widows, victims of famine and impoverished people across the world. May God bless you as you put the needs of others before your own and may we continue to remember to pray for all these needs not only today but always. May your tomorrows be greater than your yesterday and may the peace of God, which passes all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen. Have a blessed day.

Prayer for the Single

Single woman: As a single woman, I pray you will be proud of who you are. Being single is not an affliction; it is a blessing, and a season in one’s life. I pray you will not grow weary in faith. All hope is not lost. No matter how long you have been waiting and hoping, I pray that you will not be disappointed and your expectation will not be cut off. I pray as you wait for God’s chosen man for your life, that you will not give up at the edge of your miracle. Delay does not mean denial, so if you feel it is taking too long, I pray that patience will do its full work in you. I pray that your testimony will be great and people will be able to testify and say of you, “This is the Lord’s doing, it is marvellous in our eyes.” May you marry God’s chosen husband for you and not someone else’s husband in Jesus Name. When your husband sees you, I pray he will not be confused, I pray that he will know without a shadow of doubt that you are God’s chosen wife for him. I pray that you will not marry a counterfeit husband, a liar or an adulterer. I pray that you will not compromise and settle for less. As you are in the waiting period, I pray that your confession will line up with the Word of God for your life. I pray that you will confess those things that are not as though they are. I pray that you will be able to appropriate your faith and see yourself as married in a joyous and peaceful home. I pray that you will be a virtuous woman and that your marriage will be fruitful and full of joy. The Bible instructs us to decree a thing and it shall come to pass, so I decree today that those who have despised you will in turn come and honour you. I decree that you will marry and bear children; I decree that though it may tarry your blessing will surely come. I decree again that you will marry in Jesus Name. God bless you as you keep standing.

Single man: As a single man waiting for a beautiful woman, I pray that you will look at the heart and not only at what you see, as all that glitters is not gold. May God give you a woman with a golden heart and a beautiful character. As a man of integrity, I pray that you will be honest and truthful and not lead any woman astray. I pray that when you meet the person God has appointed for you that you will not be confused and that you will approach her with kindness, honesty and boldness. I pray that you will not marry another man’s wife or marry a Jezebel. May your wife be an Esther for her generation. I pray that you will not be deceitful, wicked or cruel but that you will take your time to pray so that you will be happy in your future marriage. As a single man, I pray that your passions will not overtake and control you but that you will be able to exercise the spirit of self-control at all times. I pray that God will prepare you in maturity so that you will be able to handle the responsibility that comes with marriage. May you be whole and fulfilled as a single man. I pray that all your insecurities will be washed away by the word of God. He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord (Proverbs 18:22), may you find favour from the Lord at all times. May your expectation never be cut off. Finally, I pray that you will marry a woman who will be your friend, your lover and a partner for life. May God help you to make the right choice in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

May God Free and Deliver You from All Sorts of Trouble

Today I pray that God will free and deliver you from all sorts of trouble. As those who trouble you increase and those who rise up against you multiply, I pray that God will be a shield for you. May those who say of you, “There is no help for him in God” be totally disappointed and put to shame.

May God continue to be the glory and the lifter up of your head. As you cry to the Lord with your voice, may He hear you from His holy hill and grant your requests. As you lay down and sleep, the Lord will sustain you, He will strengthen and energize you. May you not be afraid of ten thousands of people who have set themselves against you. The Lord will arise and save you. He will deliver you from your enemies all around. The Lord will save you and strike your enemies on the cheekbone. He will break their teeth and free you from their attacks. I pray that you will know as a child of God that salvation belongs to you. Salvation belongs to the Lord, therefore, as His child, salvation, deliverance, promotion, joy, fulfilment and victory belongs to you. I decree that you will be fulfilled, you will be promoted and you will rise up again. May you take your place boldly in the battle, knowing that our God is on your side and that those who are with you are more than those who are against you. Finally, I pray that you will know and stand on this, that God’s blessing is upon His children. May God’s blessing be with you, remain in you, abide in you and continue with you. May His goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life and may you know no defeat in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Rejoice! The victory is yours, so shout, “Victory is mine!” and you will have what you say.

May God Burn The Arrows Thrown At You

My prayer for you today is that of humility. I pray that you will not think any more highly of yourself than you ought to. I pray if there is any pride or haughtiness in your life, you will come to a place of humility. I pray that you will not compare yourself to others and look down on any person. I pray that you will see others and receive them with God’s love, JUST THE WAY THEY ARE. I pray that you will submit yourself to God and resist the spirit of pride, so that you will not fall. I pray that you will be content with who you are and know that you have nothing to prove. God loves you just for who you are but He hates pride and He requires that we be humble. He made us all equal and loves us all the same. Our God is no respecter of persons. I pray that you will check yourself today and see what needs changing. I pray that your thoughts will line up with the will of God. Pride is a form of insecurity. I pray all forms of insecurity will be removed from your life. I pray that you will be able to humble yourself before God and realise that nobody knows it all. We all have one thing or the other to learn. I pray that God will exalt you as you give yourself and all your insecurities to Him. I pray that you will come to know and understand that disappointments will come, friends will betray you, family may not be there for you, others might talk about you but if you hold on to God, you will be set free from every form of attack. If you have mind attacks and are hearing voices of condemnation, I pray that the fire of God will burn the arrows thrown at you by the enemy of your soul. Suicide is not the answer, holding on to offence is not the answer, revenge is not the answer, and an “I’ll show them” attitude is not the answer. The answer is in Jesus, the humble Saviour. May the love of God surround you, may He shower you with His blessings and promote you. May God cover you and be your rear guard. May you never fall in Jesus Name. God bless you, as you remain teachable in Christ.

May God Protect You

My prayer for you today is a prayer of protection. I pray that God will protect you and keep you safe. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, I pray that no evil shall befall you nor shall any disease, disaster or plague come near your dwelling place. Because you have made the Most High your dwelling place, your family will be safe, your children will be safe, your marriage will be safe, your husband will be safe, your wife will be safe, your job will be safe. If you are single you will marry, if you are married your marriage will not break down in Jesus Name. You will be happy and joyful. You will be promoted and find favour in the sight of men. No sudden calamity will come against your household. The Lord shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, in case you dash your foot against a stone. I pray that you will know and be grateful that God watches over you night and day. He will never leave you nor forsake you. I pray that His shadow will never depart from you. May the lord bring you out of trouble and set you in a safe place. You will call upon the Lord and He will answer you. He will be with you in trouble; He will deliver you and honour you. May the Lord give you long life and satisfy you with good things. May you be full of life and strength. When worry is great within you, may God bring comfort and joy to your soul. The Lord will be a strong place for you, He will be your High tower and you will run into Him and be safe. He will be your rock and hiding place now and forevermore. Amen.
