Yahweh, I pray for your intervention. Your direction, your protection. There is an intentional attempt by individuals to delay what I am supposed to receive. Yahweh, you are in control. I ask that you open the heart of the person who is holding on to my file. Let it be released to the people who are supposed to work on it, so that things would be done. Yahweh, you are my father. Nothing is too hard for you. You are the strong tower. Save me. Restore this situation. Thank you Yahweh. This is my prayer in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Word of the Day
STRETCH
I feel stretched. To the point of breaking. I truly don’t know how much more I am able to take. I am not strong. How much longer? Every single day feels like a struggle. Yahweh, I will work hard. I have no problem with hard work, especially since it is all I’ve ever known. But please, I don’t think I can make it if everyday is a struggle like this. Every day. I am so tired right now. And yes I am so thankful for your plans for me, but not even a light at the end of the tunnel? Not even that?
The blog is just there. It takes a lot of time to type and post and I’m barely keeping up. I have nothing else. And it feels like you have turned your face from me. Why have you turned away from me?
Please forgive me.
Mom said she don’t know why I had to cut my sim card for or else I could have used her old phone. I didn’t cut the sim. That’s how it came. I’m going to bed. At least for a couple of hours, if I fall asleep, I can pretend that everything is okay.

I won’t be moved by what I see,
I’ll keep my eyes on what you showed me

The Story I’ll Tell – Maverick City
Oh the story I’ll tell. My God didn’t fail. Yahweh, even though today doesn’t feel like a good day, but I am moving forward in you. I’m moving to you. Because you are the source of my life. You are my God. You are my friend. And I am thankful for what you will bring me through. Because you will. Thank you Yahweh.

Oh this is so true. And honestly as I’m writing I remember your promise of the river. Your promise of the rain and though it feels like parched lands right now, Yahweh I will stretch my hands to you. I am stretching my hands to you. You are the only one who can water this earth.
