A season of prayer: Day 15

A prayer to 'kulu temper'

Lord, I am grateful to you for the gift of today. Like Take that sang...today could really be the greatest day of my life so far. I am that expectant for a good change. As I reflect on your goodness in my life this year, I give you glory. I magnify your name. Thank you O Lord for you are good and your mercies endureth forever. Thank you escpecially at this season. I commit those who have lost loved ones before your throne of grace, be a father, a mother and a friend because at this time we feel the loss even more sharply. Be our balm in Gilead O Lord.

Daddy thank you for your word says the joy of the Lord is my strength. Your word says I should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. You said anger rests in the bosom of fools and even when I get angry, I should not sin. I should not let the sun go down with me still being angry. Daddy, you know we have not yet sorted that part out to take into account summer/winter variations of the sun going down! Lol!. Daddy, I wish I could say I always obey that scripture but I don't. Even when I don't say anything in anger, my eyes flash, my blood begins to boil and within me I know what I say even if it doesn't pass through my lips. You've seen how I can lose it BIG TIME! Forgive me Lord.

Father, give me the strength to be amongst the wise who can overlook an offence, to give a gentle answer that turns away wrath. Teach me when to speak and when to keep quiet. Give me the grace O lord to always do the right thing. You said my speech should be with grace as seasoned with salt. Help me O lord. Help me 'simmer, simmer'. Help me to present my case before you because I know you are a God of justice and a defender of those who put their trust in you. Teach me how love covers a multitude of sins. I give you glory. Thank you for what you are doing in this season. Be magnified O Lord. Thank you because you are teaching me to become mature in you. Thank you Father.

Thank you because 2008 remains a year of UNCOMMON TESTIMONIES as I strive to BE THE BEST you have created me to be in Jesus name.
