Laid before the Throne of Grace

A Prayer for Forgiveness and Guidance

  1. For the times I got mad at you for not having my way, I ask that you forgive me Father. I honour your wisdom. 
  2. For the times I was, in a way, dictating how you should show up for me, I ask that you forgive me. Your plans are the only way I’d rather have my life unfold.
  3. For the times I gave you titles because of what you did or were to do for me, I ask that you forgive me. You are a provider; you are my helper, regardless. 
  4. For predicting how you would show up because you did so the last time, I ask that you forgive me. May I never get complacent; I pray for diligence when it comes to the things of God. 
  5. For the many times I expected you to show up for me a certain way because you did for them, I apologise . Your decisions have always been better than mine. You care for me and I am your child.
  6. For the times I didn’t see you though you were always with me, I ask that you forgive me. I pray for a meek heart and a surrendered spirit to the things that have your heart.
  7. For the times I allowed fear and lies to overtake my heart and mind, I ask that you forgive me. For the Spirit of truth lives in me; you live in me.
  8. For my ignorance, I ask that you forgive me. I pray for a prudent heart, that I may be in tune with the Spirit of God, not susceptible to distraction. 
  9. For the times I spent more time on distractions draining my soul instead of spending time in your presence or doing things good for my holistic health, I ask that you forgive me. Teach me your ways; guide me through your will. 
  10. For the times I knew better and didn’t do better, I ask that you forgive me. Take more of me and give me more of you. 
  11. For the times I insisted on my way; I decided without seeking your counsel, I ask that you forgive me. I need your wonderful counsel; I need and honour your leadership. I am nothing without you. My whole existence is you. Help me live my life your way; help me not hold myself back. Align my will with your will.
  12. For the times my heart broke because I expected “more” from you, I ask for forgiveness. I understand now that you are always for me; working even when I don’t feel or see it. Every outcome speaks of your greatness.
  • You are God because you are. 
  • You are good because you are.

An alignment conversation 🥰😌

Sometimes, the best way to discover what you truly love is to look back at your younger self. Before the influence of society, teachings, and expectations shaped your perspective, your younger self knew the raw, honest truth about your passions. Reconnecting with that inner voice can reveal what genuinely sparks joy and purpose inside you beyond all the noise and external opinions. In this blog, I’ll share how who I am passionate about now is deeply connected to that authentic, childlike clarity, in the form of a prayer rooted in assurance and hope for what seemed like a far future then. One thing about this guy, he’s fulfilled every genuine, unselfish request I ever made to God about adult love. When I was 11, I prayed for a life partner, a best friend really, trusting that when the time was right and I was older and ready, I’d find someone special. Now, being with you feels exactly like what I imagined during those prayers, like I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, living out the best ...

Strength & Power

"You are strong!" "You are powerful!" Lately I have a problem with the words "you are strong" being spoken to me by someone who cares or me speaking them to myself, than before. I have substituted strength for power. I now affirm  "I am powerful" instead of "I am strong"! According to the dictionary this is what being strong; and being powerful mean: In a nutshell, "powerful" = full of power, it can mean you are capable of exerting power, potency or influence. Whereas, "Strong" is being tough, mentally or physically. In most cases, when an individual says "you are strong" what they are trying to do is to pull strength out of you. They are trying to get you back to a position of zeal from a position of vulnerability. These words are intended to lift instead of pulling down. These words are expressed to correct. In my experience these words amplify a different message of late than before. Every time I think a...

Is Perfect Good?

I have struggled with perfection not becoming my reality. There have been situations where I wished I had the power to make everything align with what I had in mind. By perfect , I mean making things happen exactly as I intended; without error, without failure, without disappointment, and without anything that could be criticised or rejected. I struggled because perfection was not becoming my reality. Things were not always agreeable, they were not always my first option, and they did not always turn out the way I had envisioned. Through this struggle, I have come to realise that I am not in control. If I were truly in control, it would mean that I am moving on my own strength, depending on myself to make everything work, to make every situation perfect, to make every outcome align with my intentions and the picture I have created in my mind. But the struggle continued, and it still continues. I am not in control. As I wrestled with this, I found myself questioning the idea of perfecti...
