A PRAYER AND REVELATION TO STREGTHEN YOU

There is a prayer intended to give strength to people faced with difficult circumstances they don’t want to accept. The power of the prayer comes from its mantra.

We ask God to grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, because so many of us rage against the hand that life has dealt us.

The courage to change the things we can, because so many of us are cowardly and afraid to stand up for what is right.

And the wisdom to know the difference, because so many of us give in to despair when faced with an impossible choice.

The good news for those who utter these words is that God will hear you and answer your prayer. The bad news is that sometimes the answer is “NO"

"NEVER JUDGE ANYONE OR YOURSELF BY THE BEGINNING, AS THE BEGINNING IS ALWAYS SMALL" 

If the problems you are facing now haven’t killed you yet, then they are temporarily. Joseph in the pit was probably in the right pit, right next to the highway where the caravan going to trade to Egypt. There is a caravan coming to take you to your destiny or towards your dreams even if it might come as a blessing in disguises (trouble/problems).

God did not create phones or TVs or a bed. He gave us the raw materials and the creativity to do as he did "create things". So, we can carry own where he stopped and live in his own image or be like minded. Somebody sees the same things you see and see a product or a solution to a global problem. What you might call trash, the other sees it as a chair, what you see as a failure he/she sees success or a learning opportunity.

These people are called special names creative people, geniuses, blessed, anointed or legends. They are called so because they do the same activity as God when he was creating the earth or us.

I always meet people who dream bigger than me or more creative or wiser but it all come down on me to decide whether to learn from them or be jealous or intimidated by them. The bible says in Ecclesiastes 9:11 “I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to all.”

I hope by reading this you will remember to stay strong no matter how small or weak you feel. Let’s take the lion in example as Pastor Myles Munroe once said. The lion is not the tallest animal like the giraffe, nor the biggest like the elephant, nor the smartest, nor the fastest animal in the jungle but when he shows up, they all run.

The lion has a different belief in himself and in his character this makes him move past all of his limitations. The elephant in one stamp can kill the lion but he believes to be lunch for that small cat.

What do you believe about yourself that keeps you going even when you meet those who are stronger or smarter or wealthier than you?
