Abusing the blessing

Today, I woke up and had an argument with my wife. It was silly. You see, for some reason, I’m a morning person and my wife, well, she’s not a morning person. This is normally a great setup. I’ll end up having some time alone in the morning, while she is catching up on much needed sleep. Sometimes, she has trouble sleeping at night, so the morning is a good time for her to sleep. This morning, as usual, I was up working on my websites. And she was sleeping. I took care not to be noisy on the computer this morning, but she is such a light sleeper that I woke her up. She was upset that I woke her up, and I was upset that I had to go out of the room to let her sleep, so this morning it did not go as planned. I got my feelings hurt and I drove out to the park to get away. At the park, on a Monday morning, it’s very quiet. It’s such a contrast to Sunday evening. On the weekend, there’s so many people here. This morning I have been simply soaking in all of the beautiful scenery of the park and I noticed, for the first time, all of the trash left behind from everyone the day before. In the pond and streams there’s trash. Near the grills and picnic table there’s trash. From a distance the surface of the water is beautiful, but once you look beneath the surface, the water is full of trash left by many people over the years. It’s funny I have been coming to this park for almost 10 years and I never noticed the trash until now.

This is a type of allegory of my life and in some ways it may resemble your life in part, too. From a distance it appears like I’m the perfect example of a good person, but once you go deeper there’s a lot of trash that pollutes my life and the life of others. I’m selfish. I take advantage of others’ love. I’m just in it for myself. I put my desires before the desires of others. This reminds me of how God looks at us and what we should be mindful of. In 1 Samuel 16:7 God tells Samuel, “For the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart”. Let us not be concerned about so much how we appear on the outside, but us go deeper and fulfill God’s purpose for us by being who God wants us to be. I’m not saying that our outward appearance is not important, but that we can become a selfish god unto ourselves if we do not change our heart towards the desires of God’s heart. Just as people abused the blessing of the park by leaving their trash everywhere, that was how I abused the blessing of my wife by taking her for granted and not thinking of her needs before mine. Let us not abuse the blessing that God has given us with people around us and His salvation. Rather, let us be a blessing to others around us, putting them first and ourselves second. Don’t abuse the blessing God has given you.

PRAYER: Jesus, today, I give you all of my life and blessings. Teach me to value and love the people and many blessings you have given me. Teach me to not be concerned about superficial matters but rather let me be concerned with the condition of my spiritual heart. I worship you, Jesus, my savior, and give you my desires for your glory. In your perfect name I pray today, Jesus, Amen.

  1. Do pray for my mother, Angela who is unwell at the hospital. My dad and sisters are with my mum to keep her company. She was just recovered from cancer and now she needs to keep healthy. She lose appetite recently and her back hurt so badly that she cries. She feels hard to breathe as well because of insufficient blood in her body. We are working on to get some blood. For those who reads this, do pray for my mother.

    May God bless you and my mother.

  2. Please pray for my significant other who needs to make it home safely. He is in an African country right now and in a lot of trouble. Thank you!

  3. My husband, Mike, is a 56 year old pastor. He has been diagnosed with PSP, progressive supranuclear palsy. He has a 5-7 year life expectancy. There is no cure, no treatment. Please agree with me in prayer asking GOD to heal him. Also, please pray for us as we try to work out disability insurance that we will need if GOD’s will is not to heal him. GOD bless you for your prayers. Sandy

    • Sandy my name is Michael also and I am in the ministry and the same age as your husband. Doctors are good but the Lord has the final word and Jesus wants your husband healed!!! Jesus can heal us no matter what the doctors say or do, if you just believe. The work has already been accomplished. Our healing is part of the work Jesus completed on the cross. Delight yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart. Seek Him and trust Him with your whole heart.

      Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed.

      Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
      Act 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

      Jesus healed them all Sandy and He has not changed!!!!

      Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

      Bless you both

      Michael

    • Dear Sandy,

      I pray for Mike. May God heal him. God is kind and He basically rules through His love for us. Trust in Him. May all blessings be with you.

  4. A WORD FROM ‘GOD”

    TAKE MY SERVENT ‘ASAPH”-LIKE SOME OF YOU , AMEN! ASAPH FELT TO HIS WAY OF THINKING HE WAS TREATED UNJUST. LORD AS I REALIZE MY CLARITY,,,AMEN! THAT IT IS RIGHT NOW GOOD FOR ME TO DRAW NEAR TO ‘GOD”.

    I KNOW WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU ASK, AND I WILL NEVER LEAVE OR FORSAKE YOU. IF THERE WAS EVER A MAN WHO HAD A RIGHT TO SPEAK OUT THAT WOULD BE “JOB”. HE WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN, AND ‘GOD” WAS TESTING HIM TO BRING GLORY TO HIS NAME.

    SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND,THE ANSWER TO ALL OF YOUR PROBLEMS, FOR I WILL NEVER FORSAKE YOU. GREATER IS HE WHICH IS IN YOU THAT HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD. PEACE BE UNTO YOU ALL.

    LOVE “GOD ALMIGHTY”

  5. Pray for my long distance love. We are in our 40′s, both divorced, but we are committed and love each other, but it’s very hard to not see each other whenever we’d like. My man has already given in to temptation once, it was brief, he realized his error when I broke it off with him due to the affair. He begged for another chance and I gave him one. We are doing great, but I am concerned it will happen again as he isn’t as strong as I am in dealing with the distance.
    I pray for renewed commitment on his side, that his mind and heart would be overflowed and consumed with us and our future, with thoughts and visions of me. I pray no other woman will interest him despite their efforts. We had been ridiculed for our long distance love before we got back together, so no one is aware we are together again. This has led to new issues with women who feel he is an eligible ‘catch’. The woman are shameless at times with the flirtations they post to him online and the chasing they do. I know it is about more than that with us, we are emotionally connected, yet I do have worries that I will lose him due to the distance between us. I am trying to find a job by him, which is my hometown, but it will take time. Pray for him, for us. Pray the Lord will remove from our lives all other women who are interested in him or that may interest him. Pray he wouldn’t view the distance as problematic, that he would simply focus on how perfect of a match we are and that he would not want anyone but me, not even for a fling. I worry he will have a fling and think I’d never find out, pray that won’t happen. Pray the Lord lays upon his heart to be faithful, true and honest with me, always.

  6. I have just started school, and been back at my job for over a month. I pray to get one better. Lord knows at heart i feel like i need a new one, and want one. May my relationship with my new boyfriend Dwayne work out, and have everlasting love. Financial will we grow, and throughout life may we get better. May we come together as one, have a family, and be supportive to one another in every way. Father may he be able to come back to Georgia soon. He left to see if he could find finances. May there be opportunities to finances when he is back. Lord you know all may needs and wants. Not everyone I ask i really feel i need but the ones i do may they be presented. Lord my you bring us close to you. We both believe in you, and try to have faith in you. Lord you touch our hearts, and spirits lord. Any negative spirits on his spirit lord may you release them, and give him better spirits. Lord keep blessing me. We do look forward in being able to provide, have finances, vehicles for transportation, love, and a home with warmth, and security. The old boyfriend may you get him out my life, not even that just but us in place of being good friends not lovers. In Jesus name amen

  7. please help me pray for the fast recovery of my friend’s dad. he had a heart attack after his car collided to a motorcycle. Please Lord bless his family… AMEN.

    • My father died from a very very sudden heart attack exactly a year ago on August 25th this month. I know how hard the pain is, and my thoughts and prayers are sent out to his/her’s family. God Bless them and know God is watching over them<3

  8. God,
    I do not know if you can hear me, but all I can say to you is thank you for all the wonderful and indescribable things you have done for me and my family. You’ve blessed us all with such great wonders and kept us pinned like glue through the toughest times. Please, the only thing I can truly ask from you, is that you keep a close eye on my mom, sister and bestfriend Allison. They are truly the three most wonderful people on this planet and without them I would be lifeless. In word’s I could not describe to you the pain that would tear me apart if I even lost touch with one of them. Please, protect them. Keep them healthy, safe, strong, and heppy. Take me before you might possibly take something important from one of them and know they deserve the best in this world. Thank you for keeping my heart beating and standing on two feet. The world would be nothing without you. I love you.

  11. Ive just recently changed my life with God about a month ago. I did this not for my own benefit and not because things were going badly in my life , I did it just because it felt right and i am now a member of a church so i guess this prayer is about change. My change. I just want God to know that my faith is real and that i will continue to go to church every sunday morning. This up coming week will be my 4th week going and it feels great to attend the service and even better becoming a new member of it. This prayer is about my new found relationship with God and hoping to continue feeling the way that i do in coming years and for the rest of my life.

  12. Please pray that God will provide me a job soon. For the past 3.5 years I have been working over 80 hours a week as our company was in a downward struggle. The past 13 months we have had six layoffs and closed 3 of our 4 offices. August 18 after finishing lunch at my desk I was told my position was eliminated. I know I’m not the only person that is in need of a job and I would like for you pray for all the people in our country that are able and willing to work, to be able to find work. I’m beginning to wonder if there is any hope anymore, with all the bad news.

    • Dear Matthew,
      I understand your pain.
      Have faith in Him. He is the Creator of Heaven and Earth. He is our Provider and Healer. He will certainly not let a willing heart labour for a fair wage.
      I will pray for you brother.
      God Bless

  13. Father,

    Please restore my relationship with my fiancé. It has been one week since he left me. I haven’t spoken to him since. Father, I truly believe you brought us together. I want to be his wife and am in great despair. Father, please soften his heart so he will talk to me and talk about what drove him away. Please remove the negative influences. Please enter his heart and allow him to examine his feelings for me. I miss him. I’m lost without my best friend. Help me to be a better more selfless person. Please, Father, I humbly beg you to restore our relationship. Amen.

  14. Dear God,
    I just woke up at 3 am in the morning with worries and fear. The one I love lives in approx: 5,000 miles apart from me. And everyday I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Please god, I want to be with him,I pray to have enough power to be beside him,he needs me lord and I need him. I sometimes feel helpless over the situation,when everything is difficult on seeing him for example, not having enough money for air fares, as being a Burmese, EU visa is too difficult to get. Do I need miracle to see my soul mate?
    Just now,when I woke up by fear. I’ve been thinking I have to keep my faith in you lord. That also means I have to be patient,but sometimes it is killing me. I pray to sell the house,so that I will have enough money to see my love,enough money for my parents to do whatever they want to do,God,they are getting old- they deserve a chance to be happy by affording everything they want to do.
    In these tough hours, I feel your presence with me lord, please please I do not want to wake up by fear anymore,lord. I need a miracle lord,I’ve been praying for it.

  15. Heavenly Father I come to you in the name of Your Son Jesus, please forgive me I once served You and I have been far from You for so long. Please restore unto me the joy of Your salvation. Lead me and guide mr by your Sweet Holy Spirit and restore my ministry. I was hurt but I have no excuse for my actions. I love You Lord please talk to me and tell me what you want me to do. Amen

  16. Me and my husband are in agreement for a home we found! We need a loan officer to give us a loan! We need favor with a loan officer! We need a home for our 2 kids! we stay with my parents!

  17. Lord, I pray that my wife will have a successful pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby brother or sister for our son. Amen.

  18. I have a badly broken right mid foot and would so much appreciate some prayer to get me back to 100%. While everyone else has their doubts I am maintaining my faith everyday and want to use this as an example of what God will do for us if we believe. Thankyou from the depths of my heart. I am praying for all of you..

    • Monique

      You’re doing the right thing and thank God you are maintaining your faith. I am praying for you and agreeing with you in prayer for the healing of your foot.

  19. Sadly can no longer afford my house and am having to sell my home, & go into a small apartment. Needing a quick sale, and a good profit to allow me to have an income to keep me for awhile. Hoping & praying to find a decent apartment that I can afford and for the move to go smoothly with this. Working as hard as I can on these old arthritic knees, but it’s never enough.
    Also pray for all the people out there having troubles putting food on their tables for their children. it’s tough times out there these days.
    Thank you…..

  20. My Lord I pray to you for guidance and health in this single life you gave me. Help me know what to do. Tell me the purpose of this life. Please help me be happy with this life. I hope I can accept your decision of not giving me a man in my life. Help me lessen the pain of unwanted single life. I am sorry if I really do not sound happy. With this, I want to thank you for all the things that make me happy however useless it is. Thank you also for my health and my family. Help us through the hard times specailly the expenses.

  21. Dear God,

Every time I talk to them or spend time with them this fact is always in the back of my mind. I don’t want my family to end up in hell. I see their faces in pain and hear their voices crying out when I think about the end of their life, I know that all things are possible through you. Please save them.

    • Monica
      God really does care for you. Even if every person in your life would obandon you God never will. The Lord loves you intimately. God has said, “I

      will never fail you. I will never forsake you.

      You have to call out to God expecting to hear from Him, if you don’t believe He is there and cares for you how can you hear from Him?
      ” Jer 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare [fn] and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
      First ask Jesus into your heart knowing he died for you and believe that the Heavenly Father raised Jesus from the dead and He will come into your heart

      and save you for eternity.

      Rom 5:10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved

      by his life.

      Jer 29:12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. When you get hungry for God you will be satisfied!

      Jer 29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

      PRAY THIS PAYER AND RECEIVE THE GIFT OF SALVATION:

      “Jesus, I believe you are Lord and that you died on the cross for my sins. I accept that you are the perfect sacrifice that took my place. Please save me

      and write my name in the Book of Life. Remove my name from the book of death. Be Lord of my life now and forever more. Amen.”

      If you sincerely prayed the above prayer and confessed it with your mouth, then you are saved, redeemed, born again and accepted into the Glorious

      Kingdom of God!

      God loves you and so do I in Jesus Christ

    • Monica

      God does care very much about you, and he knows the pain that you feel inside. You are truly a beautiful person. You have hidden strengths that you must look for. Please never wish to never existed because every life maters. And let me add this, you said that nobody likes you, Monica, God loves you with all of his heart. Just like a boxer, God is in your corner giving you all the help he can and he is also your biggest fan. You will always have friends. God bless

  34. Dear Friends,

    My family and I are in dire need.

    I have 5 beautiful daughters for which I am very grateful, and an amazing faithful wife that I’m struggling to support.

    I hope this does not sound trite as I know there must be thousands in similar circumstances. however we request prayer that the Lord would rescue us from financial ruin and lead us into His purposes for our lives.

    Our business is on the brink of bankruptcy and we now struggle to take care of even our most basic needs.

    Is it possible to be blessed by the Maker of heaven and earth?

  37. Dear God,
    Please help me stay motivated and focused. I am trying so hard to find what I am looking for but often feel like all the energy I am putting into my search is for nothing. Please help me feel confident, focused, inspired and relaxed enough to find what i seek. Thank you so much for helping me when times are tough and when things are great. Amen

    • BRITTANY,

      WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? IS IT LOOKING FOR YOU ALSO?

      PLEASE ASK ‘GOD” TO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED AND WHATS BEST FOR YOU, AND NOT WHAT YOU WANT. BECAUSE WHAT YOU WANT MAY NOT BE WHATS BEST FOR YOU.

      IT IS BETTER FOR “GOD’ TO GIVE US WHAT WE NEED SOMETIMES, RATHER THAN GIVING US WHAT WE WANT. AMEN!

      JESUS LOVE YOU AND SO DO I.

  39. I am supposed to be 10 weeks 2 days today. I went yesterday to get an ultasound and they said it looks like 6 week 5 days. They looked at the heartbeat and there wasn’t any sound. I think I Might have miscarried. I have an appointment in 3 days to make sure again. I hope I didn’t lose my baby. I just hope it was a misunderstanding.

    • Ashley, Often things happen in our lives that we don’t understand. God has a plan even though we don’t realize it. No matter what your outcome is, keep your faith in God, lean on him for strength, and trust in his greater wisdom. If you lose your child, rest assured the child is in the arms of God. I will pray for you.

  40. Praise the Lord Jesus christ

      Doctors are good and Jesus can heal you no matter what the doctors say or do, if you just believe. Our healing is part of the work He completed on the cross. Delight yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart. Seek Him with your whole heart.
      Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed.

  41. Lord, please help me find a job. I am a college graduate but I still couldn’t land a job. I have applied for numerous companies over the past four months and they have all turned me down. It is really unfair, they won’t even give me a chance to prove myself to them. I just don’t understand why am I getting treated this way.

  42. I have been out of work six months and have gone on so many interviews and have been so close to getting a job. I am waiting on a response for a job and I need to get it for my family’s wellbeing. Please lord bless my family and this opportunity.

  43. Please Pray for my family we are struggling financially. I owe the goverment money, falling behind on my bills. Ive been praying and trying to live right. I need all your prayers. I lost a high paying job last year. Had to move and just can’t keep up.

      Its not just about trying to live right, God loves you so much He sent His Son to give His life for you. If you develop a seriouse relationship with the Lord and put Him first in your life and trust Him all the things you have asked for He will give you. Its good to live right but nobody can live a Godly life in his or her own strength. Put you whole trust in God because He loves you so much that if you seek first, aim for and strive after His kingdom and His righteousness, His way of doing and being right and all these things will be given to you as well. God loves you more than you love yourself.

      Matthew 6:31 “So don’t worry about having enough food or drink or clothing.
      Matthew 6:32 Why be like the pagans who are so deeply concerned about these things? Your heavenly Father already knows all your needs,
      Matthew 6:33 and he will give you all you need from day to day if you live for him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.
      Matthew 6:34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

      Jer 29:12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. When you get hungry for God you will be satisfied!

      Jer 29:13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.

      PRAY THIS PAYER AND RECEIVE THE GIFT OF SALVATION:

      “Jesus, I believe you are Lord and that you died on the cross for my sins. I accept that you are the perfect sacrifice that took my place. Please save me and write my name in the Book of Life. Remove my name from the book of death. Be Lord of my life now and forever more. Amen.”

      If you sincerely prayed the above prayer and confessed it with your mouth, then you are saved, redeemed, born again and accepted into the Glorious Kingdom of God!

      Bless You

      Michael
