Chapter 1: Faith in God

Lord, I have tried so hard to accomplish all my future goals, but they led me down towards a dead

end street. Heavenly father, please help me to find the way to accomplish my dreams. I don’t want

to make any more plans without your divine intervention. Lord, from now on my goals are in line

with your goals for me. I am a little too driven to accomplish certain things by a certain time to

prove my worth. I tried to make better decision about my life, but it seems to go nowhere. I tried

to make better decision on my career, and again they go nowhere. I also tried to make decision

about my personal life, but they go no further than a thought. Lord, please help me to stay focused

on your plan for my life and expand energy or my plans because they are going nowhere. I wanted

your plan, your will and purpose for my life. Lord, how did I missed this truth? Teach me to follow

you more closely, teach me to trust you more fully, be more obedient, and listen to your word.

Lord! I am going to get myself a journal and sit with my bible; so that I can chart this course with

word and the Holy Spirit. Lord, lift up the spirit of anxiety, shame, anger, poor judgment,

heartache, and depression from me and let me learn the power of waiting on unanswered prayers.

Thank you lord for the peace because I am laying down my agenda with a mind to follow your

instruction in my daily routine. I thank you that your name is a strong tower that I can run into and

find refuse. Lord, I sense your presence and I know that my journey will be different as I set my

affections on things above. Thank you lord for establishing me, setting me, and placing me where

you predestined me to be.

Father, I will call upon you in heaven today. Lord, I know that you are a jealous god, I am

surrendering myself to you in spirit mind body and soul. I asked you to guide my footsteps and

supply my every need. I am going to keep praying, fighting, living for you lord as I move forward

in obedience to your word. Your labor will be not in vain. Help me to remember that you won’t

4
let anyone come between us. Lord, I know that you wouldn’t put me in a situation, which I would

not be able to handle. May I have peace in every problem I am facing today (In Jesus name amen).

Lord, I am asking you to keep me mindful of all the things you’ve done for me. I know that

bless eternity will await me if I follow your word and obey you. Help me to have a mindset of

confidence, courage, and thankful for all the things I have. I pray for all those needing hope,

strength, and encouragement. May I feel your presence like never before. Thank you lord for

teaching me to love myself and others (In Jesus name amen). Lord I know that I am stronger than

I thought, braver than I think, and you have loved more than I can imagine. When I am discouraged

you come into my heart and comfort me, without you I wouldn’t be able to carry on my difficult

journey. I know that I am not perfect and at times I even forget to pray. However, you love me

unconditionally either way and always allow me to start all over again even when I fail. Lord, I

cannot make it through without your divine intervention in my life. I thank you for your ever

presence in my life, no matter my days are good or bad. Thank you for winning all my battles (In

Jesus name amen).

 Determination gives you the resolution that keeps you going despite of the road blocks that are

laid before you. Never be ashamed of what you’ve been through. Life isn’t easy at times you just

have to outweigh the good with the bad. God will use your story for the glory of someone else.

Stop letting other taking control of your mind, feelings, and emotions. Don’t let the opinion of

others chance how amazing you are and go with whatever that makes you happy. Wake up with

determination and go to your bed with satisfaction. Be confident in the direction of your dreams

and live the life you’ve imagined. If you believe in yourself, have dedication, pride, and never

become a quitter you will definitely become a winner. Maintain a purpose despite of the difficulties

obstacles you may face along the way.

Chapter 2: Believing in Yourself

7
Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there something inside you that is greater than

any obstacle that comes along the way. Your toughest challenge can be converted into the greatest

blessings. Your life challenge are not supposed to paralyze your development. Do not quit as

somebody is praying for you and you will make through this hardship. Challenge your limits, you

will never have space for growth when things come too easy. There is growth when you face

challenges and then come up. Your best view comes after the hardest climb. Your pain that you’ve

been feeling cannot be compared to the joy that’s coming. Every weakness you have is an

opportunity for the lord to show you his strength in your lively hood.

A flower doesn’t think of competing other flowers, it just blooms. When you feel like you

cannot go any further, just take a deep breathe, pause, and think before you act because you may

feel sorry in the long run. The worst mistake in life is when you act before you think. You lose

everything and when you realize it, it is too late then. Your smallest steps can lead you in the right

direction. Your future is dependent on the choice of your destiny. Tomorrow isn’t promise to

anyone so live your life to the fullest without any regrets. Just know that the strength that carry

you this far will take you to the rest of the journey. God didn’t add another in your life just because

you need it. Sometimes the devil wouldn’t fight with you this hard if he knows you are going to

lose.

Happiness can be found, even in the darkest moments, if just remembers to return to the light.

Appreciate every moment, even the bad. Recognize your blessings. Father you know every

decision I need to make and every challenge I may face. For if I make you sorry who is he then

that make me glad but the same which is made sorry by me? And I wrote this same unto you lest

when I came I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice having confidence in you

all my joy is the joy of you all. Lord gives me the strength to faith the fainted hearted and courage

8
of the fearful. Lord when my daily work is too difficult please give me the strength to be able to

carry on. Teach me to be how to wait on until you answer all my unanswered prayers, thank for

hearing my prayer and for staying by my side. AMEN. You just don’t see their tears because they

are crying inside. Sometimes you have accept someone else choice even if it end up hurting you

in the long run. Because some of the best lessons in life you will learn in your worst times. I will

listen to you when you look for me, you will find me yes when you seek me say the lord. Lord as

soon I pray you answer me, you encourage me by giving me strength. Stop expecting loyalty from

people who cannot even give you honesty. Be careful what you tell people you can friend today

and become enemy tomorrow. Father, bless me with the wonderful power of forgiveness. Give me

the grace to unconditionally forgive those who have done me wrong. Knowing that it take time to

forgive others and overlooked what others have done to us, it takes time to heal the pain.

Chapter 3: God is Merciful

10
Father, bless me with the wonderful power of forgiveness and forgive me for thinking that I am

not my own problem. Give me the grace to unconditionally forgive those who have done wrong to

me. I need to forgive myself because of my own failing to follow your word. By the work of you

lord, I have made peace between me and my enemy. It takes time to heal the pain, knowing that it

take time to forgive others and overlook what others has done to us. Thank you lord for not using

my sin against me. You have helped me to overcome and reconcile (In Jesus name amen).

Lord, I thank you for giving me all the opportunities that are brought as a result of my struggles.

Lord, there is always something to be thankful for even if it small or big. Even in my bad times, I

have a lot to be thankful for. Lord, please remind me to be thankful for the things I have and not

the things I want or desire for. I know that I am not perfect person and I have make a lot of bad

choices but I really appreciate the people who stand by me who really know who I am and the road

I have travelled to reach this far. Along my journey I have been touched by the souls of some

beautiful people and I am grateful for having them as an important part of my life. Lord, I have

too many flaws to be perfect but you have blessed me too many times to be ungrateful.

Growth is about the uncertain and taking risk on yourself. Don’t be afraid to grow on your

own. Life change and growth are optional and need to be choose wisely. We all grow into the

beautiful peers sooner or later. You will not fail even if you have given up the fight, no matter how

far you’ve gone you can always turn right around. Learn to accept failure downfalls, self-pity, and

hardship because if it doesn’t challenge you it won’t change you. The positive thinker sees the

invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible. Your life is only good as your mindset.

Sometimes the things that are falling apart, might be the actually the ones falling into places. When

you are at the lowest point always look up to the highest point. You cannot start on the next chapter

11
of your life if you keep on re-reading the last one. Treat yourself first and everything else will fall

into the right place.

Stop letting other taking control of your mind feelings and emotions. Don’t let the opinion of

others chances how amazing you are. Maintain a purpose in spite of the difficulty obstacles you

may face along the way. Life is not what happens to you, is how you react to it. Say to your; I am

my own problem and I am going to find a solution to fix my problem. Breaking the habits of you

cannot, I not going to do this. Stop dragging your foot. Never be ashamed of what you’ve been

through. Life isn’t easy at times you just have to outweigh the good with the bad. A strong person

is the one doesn’t cry. When something bad happens. You have three choices. You can let it go.

Let it control you. You can uses it as stepping stone.

Stop letting non-progressive people to drain your energy. Instead, focus on the good things that

is happening in your life. Your life challenge is not supposed to paralyze the development. Don’t

quit; somebody is praying for you, and you will make it through this hardship. Challenge your

limits; you will never have space for growth, when things would come too easy. Lord! Remove

any anger and contentment from my heart that prevents from trusting and loving you. Dear lord! I

know sometimes, I have to go through the darkness to get to the light. I am a fighter; I will not

give up or give into negativity. Appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what is coming

next. I will not let my past define me.

Thank you Jesus for all the blessing, you have given me. Thank you for today and the day

ahead of me. Always remember how blessed you are to wake up every morning. It is the best give

gift you can ever receive is life. Tomorrow is not promise to anyone so make the best of life and

be thankful for the little things the lord has provided to you.

12
 Figure 2: God never leaves

Father, I thank you for protecting me through the night. Thank you for opening up my eyes

this morning, thank you for the all the beautiful things I see around me. There are many who woke

up today and are not able to see these beautiful things. I thank you the most for allowing me and

those who I care about to wake up this morning because there are many who have not woken up

to this beauty of the world. I place my life today, choosing to depend on you to lighten and guide

my pathway (In Jesus name amen).

13
Chapter 4: Positive Thinking Lead to Success

14
It is so easy to access another person situation without knowing the facts. Let go of excessive

baggage that is holding you backward instead of moving you forward. There are certain things and

people who aren’t supposed to be in our daily life and circle. God removed them for his own

reason, just don’t question God why people come and go every single day. When god has other

plans for your life he is going to remove the unnecessary people from your life. Use all your

disappointments, heartaches, fears, and lonesomeness as stepping stones. Don’t just look

backwards as we all face some difficulty along the life’s journey. No one’s life is a bed of roses,

people just don’t tell you what they are going through because of pride. They don’t want you to

see the tears so they just keep it all to themselves. Sometimes the people who go through bad

situation and circumstances are the ones who appreciate the changes that make their lives better.

You need to stop dwelling and hold your head up even if the journey is very rugged and rough.

Believe in the fact that you are not going be into the same position in your life permanent, it is just

a temporary situation. I have been through so much and still standing situations that I thought I

couldn’t overcome. My will power allowed me to fight it out and become victorious. I can now

overcome all my downfalls. This is why I know I am a survivor, I was able to rise when my enemy

wanted me to fail. No matter what storms you face, God will always be by your side.

May the lord heal my broken heart and all my sickness. I pray that the lord remove all my pains

forever. I pray for the strength to endure the grace and glory. Heavenly father, you may walk

through my house and take away all my worries and burdens, and watch over all my family

members, friends, and foes. Bring tranquility, quietness, harmony, and love where there is chaos.

Bring me light where is darkness and put fear in the enemy, who is trying to plot against me. Thank

you lord for restoring my soul and healing my broken heart. Lord, you have seen all my tears, my

15
laughter, my fears, and my broken heart but never left my side. May I surrender all to you lord (In

Jesus name amen).

Thank you lord for waking me up this morning and thank you for making me regain my

strength after peaceful rest during the night. Thank you for everything that is necessary for my

spiritual and physical growth. Lord, protect me from every evil schemes and intentions. I start my

day to day routine and inspire my will with courage. God please enlighten my mind with the truth.

Give me the strength to my weaknesses. Give me the faith in my fears and give me power.

Thank you lord for depositing love, peace, laughter, joy, prosperity, justice, trust and truth into

my life. Thank you for all this abundant blessing in my account without any limit. Thank you for

providing me with all the needs in accordance to your riches in faith and tranquility. Lord, I know

that you expect nothing in return and you will never leave me disappointed. You have restored me

when I was broken and changed me into the most amazing individual. Lord, sometimes I get

trapped in my way even though my every daily routine work as planned because I know that my

life is in your complete control.

16
Chapter 5: Preparing for the Worst

17
Whatever life gives you, even if it hurts you just be strong and act normal. Remember strong walls

share but never collapse. Never reply when you are angry and never make promises when you are

happy. Never make any decision when you are sad. Forget what hurts you but never forget what it

taught you. If God has brought you to it, he will bring you through it. When life gives you the most

difficult tasks just stay positive and move forward. God will make something good out of the

storms that brings devastation to your life. Just keep on going each step as it gets a little harder,

but don’t quit. The view at the top of the hill is beautiful. If you don’t keep you head high you will

eventually lose your crown. The best revenge is to just move on and get over. Don’t give the enemy

the satisfaction that you are weak.

Heavenly father, I am asking you to bind every sickness, disease, and any attack from the

enemy. Lord, I am asking you to send your angels to protect me and me pray for good health and

strength. Lord, would you please separate me from whatever is hindering me from following you.

Please heals my bitterness and emotions so I may become a better individual. I am now placing all

my worries and care in your hands I know that you’re going to make everything worked out in my

favor whenever it is the right time. Lord, if you would’ve given me the task I couldn’t have handled

it so efficiently. Matthew 21:22 and the lord said whatever things you asked for in prayer, you

shall receive. Psalm 46:10 be still and know that I will be exalted amongst the heathen; I will be

in the earth. Isaiah 58:8 your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly

appear. 1 Corinthians 2:9 as it is written; what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what

no human mind has conceived the things. Lord has prepared for those who love him. Numbers: 6 -

24-26 the Lord bless you and keep you. May his face shine on you and be gracious to you. The

Lord will turn his face to you and give you peace. Psalm 89:15 blessed are those who have learned

to acclaim him; who walks in the light of his presence.

18
 Lord I need to stop saying I wish and start saying I will obey you. Lord I have learn from you

to accepted failure rather than my success. Lord, help me not to complain and be ungrateful about

the condition I cannot change. Let my yesterday not outweigh my tomorrow, help to me not to

give out negativity. Lord, help me to be humble and let me understand that I am not the only one

with troubles in this word. Help me to control my weakness attitude to others. Father, help me to

remind about the fact that your plan is the highest plan for my life and give me the strength to work

according your plan.

I really appreciate the people who stand by me who really know who I am and the road I have

travel to reach this far. Nothing can stop your destiny only the lord almighty. Above all love each

other deeply because love covers over a multitude of sins. Thank you Jesus for all the blessing,

you have given me. Thank you for today and the day ahead of me. Always remember how blessed

you are to wake up every morning, it is the best give gift you can ever receive is life. Thank you

lord for depositing love, peace, laughter, joy, prosperity, justice trust truth thank you for all this

abundant blessing in my account without any limit. Thank you lord for not using my sin against

me, you are helping me to overcome, so I can truly reconciled in Jesus name amen. Even in my

bad times I have a lot to be thankful for. Lord please remind me to be thankful for the things I have

and not the things I want. Thank you for providing me all my every day needs in according to your

riches in faith and tranquility lord I know that you expect nothing in return and you will never

leave me or disappointed me you restore me when I was broken and changes me into the most

amazing individual lord sometimes I get so caught having my way even though if my every daily

routine doesn’t work as planned know that my life is in your complete control. Thank you for

opening up my eyes this morning, thank you for the beautiful all the beautiful things I see around

me, many woke up today and not able to see them.

19
 Determination provides you the solution to keep you going in spite of the road blocks. Don’t

be worry about failures, changes, your past, challenges, troubles; all these put you through to make

you become a better person. Wake up with determination to work exclusively and go to your bed

with absolute satisfaction. God will always use your story for someone else glory. The toughest

challenge of yours will become the greatest blessings at one day. A strong person is the one, who

seems never worrying about nothing they just go with the flow. When life provides you the most

difficult tasks; just stay optimistic and move ahead. To change your life; you have to change your

priorities. That’s the reason, why sometimes we cannot move ahead as we worry much about going

to make it through without anyone. So, Lord give me such strength to faith the fainted hearted and

courage of fearful. Lord! I am thanking you for all the opportunities that my struggles brings.

Lord, I thank you for not letting the devil defeat me and letting me fallen into traps. I know

that there are a lot of unchangeable circumstances in my life. I cannot do anything without your

divine intervention. Please help me to choose what is right for me in this difficult time I am facing.

I know one I am going to overcome this darkness and see the light of the tunnel. Throughout all

this storm you are standing by my side. Thank you lord for allowing me the chance to rebuild and

a chance to blossom like plant that spring by river side when spring begun. I am celebrating my

happiness, peace, faith, fear, difficulties, strength, and the ability to overcome my obstacles.

Never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer care. Whatever life gives you;

even if it hurts you, just be strong and act like normal. Don’t give the satisfaction to anyone of

watching you suffering from anything or anyone. You can convert negative stress into positive

feelings and thoughts. Whatever makes you happy; just go for it. Be confident in any direction of

your dreams; and live a life you have imagined before.

20
 Heavenly father, break every chain that is blocking me from being close to you. Lord I pray

you break every chain of sickness, doubt, and addiction. I wish you cancel every envy depression

cycle of abuse, defeat every enemy that triumph over my downfalls, and plot against me for no

legitimate reason. Every chain that is binding me shall be broken forever in the mighty name of

Jesus Christ. Jesus is the key that has set me free from all this. Lord help me not to just pray for

words but execute and follow accordingly. I need deliverance and guidance each day. Give me the

faith to believe the words I pray (In Jesus name amen).
