September 11th Prayer

We plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it. MSG Proverbs 16:9

Within your heart, you can make plans for your future, but the Lord chooses the steps you take to get there. TPT Proverbs 16:9

People plan their path, but the LORD secures their steps. CEB Proverbs 16:9

At times I feel that I am in control of my life but only to be reminded that it is God who makes it look so easy. When I do not consult God, I find that whatever I want to do is more complicated and becomes a burden. Listening and doing is the key to great success in life – doing life God’s way.

So this is my prayer for this day:
Lord, help me to appreciate the gifts and talents that you have given me and cultivate them.

First, give me a clear vision of what are the talents and gifts that you have endowed me with. I want to be able to recognize what talents and gifting’s that I have.

Second, help me to hear your voice speaking to me through these abilities and gifts. So that I can master my skills and gifts with power and grace.

Third, lead me each step of the way to discover why you have gifted me this way and to follow the pathway and actions that you have ordained for me to go.

Thank you for blessing my small steps and help me to focus on what you have gifted me to do. I want to excel for your honor and glory and to praise, assist, and support others on their journey in life.

Help me to do what I am good at and don’t quit! Amen

Goodness Rules! He who shuts his ears to the cries of the poor will be ignored in his own time of need. Proverbs 21:13 TLB Lady Wisdom asks, “Why do you ignore the vulnerable and weak among you?” Jesus Christ in his ministry on Earth specially came to change the conditions of the poor and needy. He wanted them to know that they do not have to be poor anymore. The Bible says that He, Jesus went around doing good. He even fed the people and looked out for their well-being. Min istry to the poor is part of the Christian calling. We are to not overlook the poor. Something very troubling in our society is the disregard for the less fortunate. The spirit of greed seems to be rising in the places and institutions that were considered to be a support system for the needy. Churches, schools, hospitals, and government appear to be overtaken by individuals who only see them as ways to make money. It is abusive in nature. These institutions, which use to be people-focused, are now, profit-...

Dr. Cindy Trimm my Spiritual Mentor The words of Dr. Cindy Trimm have guided me on my wisdom journey. Wisdom from the Elders - those who have already gone that way of difficult living can impart knowledge to us through their experiences and insights. They carry much knowledge so we shouldn't neglect what they have to say. We should pay attention to what was said. It might not necessarily apply to the present scenario situations that we experience today. Yet, there are nuggets of truth in their words. The elders (our parents and spiritual mentors) were probably referencing their time or era. Their understanding of the situation may be conceptualized from their point of reference. As I was reading Proverbs 1: 8 (AMP), “My son, hear the instruction of your father, and do not reject the teaching of your mother.” These are the words of wisdom that spoke to my soul. A father's exultation requires wisdom. "My child listen when your father gives correction." We sh...

"For the reverence and fear (respect) of God are basic to all wisdom. Knowing God results in every other kind of understanding. I, Wisdom will make the hours of your life more fruitful. Wisdom is its own reward, and if you scorn her, you hurt only yourself." Proverbs 9:10-12, Living Bible Lady Wisdom asks, “Who do you respect?” As a society we need to get back to basics. Acknowledging that there is a God, sets our feet on a solid foundation for life. It will produce boundaries for our daily living. It is like having a constitution for our lives. We know the truth – God is. He is the “I Am.” Having this respect for God, helps us to respect his creation, the world and everything that is in it. I think because we know that there is someone bigger and greater than us, compels us to be accountable to that person. Believing in God causes us to live with integrity. We are not just living for ourselves but also to please God. Our parents play a role in our lives as bein...
