A Prayer for today and tomorrow


A Prayer for today and tomorrow

Quote of the day

‘A Prayer is not a daily ritual to make an appeal or request but rather a communion between you and our Heavenly Father.’

Dear FATHER, thank YOU for this wonderful day and for allowing me to share it with YOU. Thank YOU for giving me the opportunity to serve YOU in the best possible way. When I leave home today I cannot ask YOU to forgive me for the wrongs that I have done for I know already that YOU have forgiven me, all I can say is that I am very sorry indeed. I cannot ask YOU for guidance because YOU have always guided me from birth, I thank YOU for this. I cannot ask YOU to protect me because YOU have always protected me from my difficulties and my adversaries, for this I am eternally grateful. I am grateful for the wisdom that YOU have given me to live an abundant life, filled with constant joy and happiness. I am grateful for a second chance and will always use my wisdom to help my fellow human beings that maybe struggling to cope. Thank you for showing me how to be tolerant.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls a Prayer is a special communion between you and Almighty GOD. Therefore I urge you to strengthen your relationship with our Heavenly Father and to utter your prayer to HIM each day. Your prayer should never be a daily ritual to make an appeal or request but rather a communion between you and Him. Always start each day with a prayer and more importantly end it with sincere gratitude. Prayers are not meant to be solemn. Prayers are meant to be a joy and a privilege to speak in private to our Heavenly Father. Some of you may not agree with the concept of praying but I can assure you it is the most important facet of your day. A Prayer softens your mood, a prayer builds up your courage, a prayer alleviates your pain and a prayer strengthens your day. Leaving home without a prayer is like leaving home without an agenda. I enjoy praying at the break of dawn for my mood, courage, pain and my day is guaranteed to be better. My article today is personal. It is about Praying and it is about the way I pray. Every individual is different but ultimately we seek the same and that is to have a safe and humble day.

You need to identify your weaknesses and in turn strengthen them with all your might and energies.


You need to identify your weaknesses and in turn strengthen them with all your might and energies.
Quote of the day
‘Weaknesses can best described as our blatant flaws incurred over the decades, characterised by our obvious feebleness in making decisions and our softness in confronting adversaries. These constitute our limitations in life and to overcome them we need to develop our strength.’

A weakness in an individual can be quite debilitating. When we are weak we do not perform according to our abilities. When we are weak we often feel tired before even starting our day. We feel mentally drained. We often have a negative outlook to our day, with premonitions that our day will be bad. Our outlook to our future is equally despondent and incapacitating. Our weaknesses is often portrayed in our stance, our expressions and in our speech. People latch onto these weaknesses and then casually take advantage of us. This is something that we need to put a stop to. But how, you may well ask? How do we develop strengths when we are obviously so weak. The question to ask yourself how you can lift a pocket of potatoes when you struggle to peel a single potato. It all starts with a bit of patience. Patience is a true virtuosity of a successful meritocratic individual. Like a seed patience takes time to cultivate. Fortunately time is something that we have a lot of. To cultivate patience you need to understand the true meaning of the word patience. Similarly to cultivate a seed you need to know a little bit about the seed. You cannot plant a daffodil bulb in November and expect to see a flowering plant in January, the following year. You need to exercise patience. You need to endure the time period for growth and development. You need to be tolerant over unforeseen setbacks. You need to be persistent despite distractions that come in front of you. You need to have the staying power and stamina to see your goals through. This is what patience is all about. Knowledge forms the basic foundation to your start. Knowing when to sow will tell you when to reap. This comes from knowledge. Knowledge comes from above. To determine what your weaknesses are you need to extrapolate key and distinct flaws in your character. What is it that holds you back? What is your fear? What makes someone more successful than you? Why aren’t you doing something about it? Is it fear that holds you back? Are you afraid to venture forward and prefer to be stuck in the same old rut again and again. You need to be like the seed. You need power and your body certainly holds that. You need a forte of stronger points that overcomes the weaker ones. You need to be forceful and assertive and make inanimate objects move away from your positional state. You need to tone your muscles to make them perform at their level best. You need to be metier. You need to concentrate on the next second and contemplate on the previous one and vice versa. You need to develop vigour in your blood that drives you to overcome your weaknesses. This is the clear cut steeping stones for you.
