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.

This is IT right here 🪄✨

  December last year.  I love her 😍  I was going through hell and back here. Guys, 2024 needs to be erased from the history of years—no ways! But I still tried to do the things that felt true to me, like being creative with my wardrobe. :) Now, I am the happiest. I am as happy as a toddler learning things for the first time. I am as happy as a young adult who’s realizing things her younger self always dreamt of. I last felt this alive before my teens—before my diagnosis with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. I am so very much at peace; feeling strong has become the cornerstone of my inner serenity. If this was the only gift I had to receive from God, I wouldn’t dare ask for anything else. Or think of trading it for anything later down the line. This is IT right here!!! I am sooooo happy—said a girl who suffered joint pain, swelling, stiffness, redness, warmth around the joints, fatigue, fever, rash, loss of appetite, weight loss, limping, decreased range of motion, eye prob...

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 bes...

Am not running out of time

Looking back at my life, I realise I’ve always started early. I began Grade 1 at the age of 5, started university at 17, and bought my first property at 23. I enjoyed the fact that people noticed I was the youngest in class, and I worked hard to be among the top 10 students at school. This drive really began when I chose my subjects and followed my commitment to excelling or should I say, slaying in life. In June 2024, I made the brave decision to leave my job because I chose myself and my health over demanding work. My career requires me to constantly pour into others, and most of the time I had to fake being well and energetic, even on days when I was crumbling inside. I remember one day vividly: I had just returned from external moderation, exhausted, with a badly swollen eye from allergies my eye was barely open. Yet, I still went straight into a parents’ meeting at 16:00, showing up as if nothing was wrong, despite the obvious. That’s who I’ve been all my life: pushing through, be...
