How
so often have you heaped blame on yourself, others and God for being the way
you are? Do you see yourself as being inferior to others? What makes you feel
that way? Perhaps you do not have the same opportunity that they have or you
destroyed your chances when you ha it? The answer won’t be found in your
worrying anyway. While you wear a solemn look all day thinking of how to
overcome your seemingly helpless situation, others like you or even in a worse
situation are giving their voices to God in thankful obeisance. Now if you
would meditate and read the following prayer, you would realize that you are
better than you think that you are. It is a prayer of gratitude of a physically
challenged.
Gratitude of a
physically challenged
I praise thee oh lord in all things
oh God I give you praise
for I am in this condition
not by my choice
though disabled in feature
yet I have achieved feats
that even
those with ability
fail to attain.
I have found favor in thy sight
hence you have blessed me
I lack not bread, nor shelter
but give accordingly
let me be firm
oh lord
in my service to thee
and let those who are in the same state as do i
be strengthened
to put their trust in thee
Have you ever wondered if you were alone in this
world, with no one to say loving words to you? Are you fed up of unsolved bills
now and then? Is your marriage working or are your children getting the best of
education? Are you worried by the doctor’s
diagnosis or you are frustrated b y your lack of progress in life? Why are you
confused even as a teenager or young adult, does it have to do with a habit you
want to discard? Nothing is impossible you know. There is a God who heals, but
the truth is that you do not know how to call on Him! Yes, that is exactly what
the devil wants you to do, he wants you to shut up and sulk. He knows that God
your creator answers prayers and that all you need do is to raise your voice to
him. What would you do if you were in an elevator gulped by fire? Wouldn’t you
call for help? That’s how it works in the spiritual. You need to seek for God’s
intervention. If you don’t say here I am, no one will say there you are. Say
this prayer with all confidence and watch your problems vanish before your very
eyes. Say it five times a day twice in the morning once at noon and twice at
bedtime.
God in all
situations
He the lord is my God
and my creator
he molded me with his hands
from particles of dust
and out of his mouth
he gave me breath.
In his image I was made
and he gave me power
over all his creation.
The lord is my sustainer
He shall not turn his back on me
nor banish me from his sight
He shall provide all my needs
and I shall not lack
He will satisfy my thirst
since I place my trust in Him
though there be peril
and even though the fields wither
He shall surely provide for me

The great
physician
The great physician is he
He heals the sick
and raises the dead
the blind He restores their sight
and the dumb He guives voice
no manner of affliction
is beyond Him
for by mere words
He cleanses and restores
I shall always be whole
and my soul restful
………………………………………………..
My defender
He is my shield and my armor
my protector and defender
if there be trouble
He shall attend to me swiftly
and His angels shall take charge of me
He shall clap the waters
to engulf all my enemies
………………………………………………………….
Alpha and Omega
He is the beginning and the end
the designer of my fate
He shall prepare me a place
to dwell with Him forever
that where He is
so will I be also
in Him I fear not death
for I know where my soul
shall surely dwell.
Amen
