Coming to the Stage

“Life can hand you a fist full of sorrow and a heart full of hurt.
However, God is concerned about your state of mind. Your feelings matter to Him and He is genuinely interested in those issues that concern you. Remember in the book of Genesis, God
visited Adam in the cool of the evening. The same love that was extended to Adam is available
to you.

Every battle and struggle we contend with has already been settled in Heaven.
I pray that you use God’s word to achieve success, peace, and empowerment in your daily life.
May this book serve as an instrument for you to pray the Word of God and not pray your worries to Him”.

Kindness Never Goes Out of Style

This week has been amazing. I’ve made great strides to grow my network, better align my services and intentionally practice self-care. My family is blessed and healing in the right direction, work is fabulous and getting better by the day and I feel stronger and more confident in who I am.

For today’s blog post, I am posting about the value of Kindness.

Since Friday is not a regular workday for me, I am using this post for a connection moment. Maybe that will be a new theme for us, (we’ll see).

Kindness is one of those attributes that never goes out of style. It’s like your favorite pair of sweatpants or a comfortable hoodie. Kindness is warm, inviting and protective. There’s simply not enough of it being generated lately. On social media and in real life, you see people bickering back and forth with one another, expressing feelings of hate and rage.

It’s too much.

I’m setting my clock for 10:40 am, to stop what I am doing and go to God in prayer.

Why 10:40am?

Psalm 5:3 says, ““In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.”

Will you join me? Will you help me pray for kindness to be restored on earth as it is in heaven?

My prayer for today is for Kindness to resurface. I pray that God will touch the hearts and minds of everyone to stop with their own motives and agenda and pick up his. I pray that we are reminded of the goodness of God and how it can cover a multitude of sins. I pray for goodness and mercy to chase us down and be forever present in our relationships. I pray for a peace that passes all understanding and every void that exists be filled with love & kindness. God, I pray that those who feel forgotten and left out are reassured of their worth and significance.

This is my prayer today, in Jesus Name. Amen

Have a great weekend and I will see you back, on the blog this coming Sunday.

Morning Prayer- Tuesday, March 19th

Dear Lord,

In Matthew 6:6-8, your instruction tells me to go to my room, close the door and pray. As I start a new day, I pray for balance and the ability to thoroughly complete the tasks that are before me. You’ve provided the resources and the connections; I am so appreciative. I pray for proper time management and follow through to deliver a great product and to get the job done. Thank you for opening doors for me, and for making a way when their seemed like one did not exist.  I am grateful and happy.  In Jesus Name. Amen

A Peaceful Reminder

“Don’t ever forget that you are worthy of beautiful things, you’re deserving of love in abundance, and then some. You have the entire world at your feet, and I can’t wait to see where life takes you. 

It all starts with trust.

Holding space for all who need an extra dose of encouragement today.

Morning Prayer-March 6, 2024

Dear Lord,

Thank you for this day. Thank you for new opportunities to exhibit love in all that I do. You make it possible for me to show up and use my talents and skills in the most authentic way to deliver good results. I am thankful for everyone that believes in me and pushes me to be great. Because of this, my belief in myself in amplified.  Hebrews 12:1 instructs me to lay aside every weight, so I confidently let go of things that do not serve me, and I embrace things that empower me to be successful. I am grateful for the ability to fully plan, implement and deliver with ease. Great is your mercy towards me. In Jesus Name. Amen

Morning Prayer – February 29th, 2024

A Prayer of HonestyMy Dearest Heavenly Father,
I hope I am not a bother but
From you I need to hear, just to know that you are near
I need to feel your love, and strengthened from above
My issues have me weary Lord and I need to see more clearly
Your word to me revealed, in your presence I am healed
I am in my sacred place, lying prostrate on my face
I am putting aside the weight that you promised me you would take
I am casting my cares on you because your instruction tells me to
Lean not to my own understanding although my life can be demanding
I will have faith to trust and believe that your promises will be achieved
Amen

Morning Prayer – February 27, 2024

Dear Lord,

Thank you for this wonderful day. Twenty-four years ago you made me a Mom and I am so thankful for that. Thank you choosing me to handle such a large responsibility. Your belief in me keeps me going and helps me to focus on what is important. As I move through this day, remind me of the determination and intention that I exhibited on that day. Remind me of the plan that was executed on my behalf, to ensure a safe delivery. I pray that I will use those same skills to execute and deliver in other areas of my life today. Your love is true and unfailing. In Jesus Name. Amen.

In Good Health

Dear Lord,

Thank you for this day. Thank you for another opportunity to rise and be great. Today I am most thankful for the gift of good health. With so much sickness surrounding me Lord, I thank you for the ability to move without pain, to bend without breaking and to breathe with ease. I thank you that my lungs can expand to full capacity and that my mind can think and reflect easily. Good health is an attribute of success, and I am happy to find success in this way. As I move throughout my workday, help me to keep these things at the forefront of my mind. This is my prayer. In Jesus’ Name. Amen

Melissa

Well-Able

Dear Lord,

Thank you for this day. Thank you for another chance to rise and go in the direction of purpose and intention. On this day Lord, you have filled me with your spirit of compassion, discernment and creativity. Understanding all of these things, I know that I am the co-creator of my opportunities. Help me to show up in this truth. Give me an extra push where needed. Your word reminds me that I am chosen, unique and well-able. I believe your word Lord and I will walk in these truths. I love you and I thank you.

Please bless everyone that you’ve placed in my circle. Bless them Lord from head to toe. Bless their comings and goings and let no good thing be withheld from them.

In Jesus’ Name.

Amen
