What do you PRAY for?

Happy new month!!! 🎉 Trust you have been good since my last post.

I woke up yesterday with the brightest of mood... might be understandable because it is a new month and the start of the second-half of the year 2020 but in introspect, I realized we get so caught up with so many endless life's activities that we underrate or neglect the "seemingly small blessings". We consider it a right and not a privilege. We stay focused on how, where and when we would receive the "big blessings" without realizing that's not even our place to start with.

After all these thoughts, realizing through it all, especially in this pandemic, I can still be  in the mood of thanksgiving!... my excitement increased. Even my mum had to ask what the good news was and I couldn't think of a better response than "... is my life not enough good news to you?"😅

So yeah, I was on facebook for the first time in a while and thanks to Facebook memories, I was reminded of a post I shared sometime in 2016.  I read it and figured it is still very much valid. Here it goes;

"As each day comes to a close,  I pray life becomes all that I envisaged it to be if not more but most importantly that God's special will and purpose play gloriously with me... that my goals and aspiration stay big, my fears and worries remain small.

I pray that I never need to bear more than I can hold and I never need to hold on to what was never meant to be mine.

When confronted with choices to choose from, I pray that my sense of discernment never fails; that I should be able to differentiate a favourable choice to an unfavourable one.

When it is cold outside, I pray that I will have the grace and strength to show to everyone the sincereness and warmth of my smile.

I pray that God continues to show His Grace towards me.

I sincerely pray that I do not forget those who helped and encouraged me in my down times.

I pray I would always remember that people love me and want the best for me.

I pray that God keeps directing my every step whenever it seems I am going astray.

I pray that I forgive whoever made me feel bad at one time or another and that I get forgiveness from whoever I may (have) offend(ed).

I pray I always remember that patience is a virtue and that I do not need to run faster than life itself.

I pray that I am always surrounded with good friends.

I pray that I always be the best I can be even when the chips may be down.

I pray that when it comes to things I cannot get nor situations I cannot change that I always remember to "Let go and Let God".

And above all of this,  I pray that God never leaves me nor all the people and things that concerns me and that His purpose be forever made manifest in our lives.

What is your prayer???".

That's it and I sincerely hope this moved you to always stay thankful even for the seemingly small blessings and to say a word of prayer today.

Until next time, I'm sending my love and everything nice your way!. ❤💫

Have a wonderful month!🌸
