Seed to tree

Have you ever looked at a big and strong tree and been amazed by how massive the tree was.

No matter how large a tree is 

All trees start out as a small, little

Tiny seed

That tiny seed had to be watered, had to get sunlight, had to be weeded

It took time for the small seed to become a tree

In the same way, it may take time to be the person you dream to be

A lot of times, we look at other people's success

Other people lives

And compare their lives and success to our own

But what we don't know; just like a massive tree

A lot of successful people had to fight

 Work through trial and error

It took time to be successful 

Give yourself time to grow 

Like how the seed grows into a tree 

It takes time 

Don't let your current situation

Make you  think that you will always

Stay in the same place 

You are not stuck; you just need to be watered, weeded, and in time 

You will grow 

What I am trying to say is...

Everything worth having

Is worth fighting for and takes time 

Through hard work,  a lot of effort, and persistence, you can achieve anything

You can't give up

You must believe in yourself

Know who you are 

You are a child of God

The Lord of Lords

King of Kings is your father

God is on your side

with God, you can do anything

God wants you to succeed 

God has a purpose and a plan for you

a plan for your good 

a plan for your happiness 

So get watered

what do I mean?

I mean, talk positive words to yourself

Read positive books 

Research other people's success

No matter what you want to do 

Know that someone has done it

And so can do it too 

If no one has done it

You can be the first

You just have to believe

May I pray for you?

Father God

I pray for the person reading this blog post

I pray that they will pursue their dreams

Be the person that they want to be

Be the person You called them to be

I pray against all hindrances and blockers

I pray that they will have the tenacity 

The persistence to get what they want in life 

I pray that they will find hope in you, Lord

I pray what took other people years 

You will help them do it in half the time

I pray for great results

and that they are blessed in all they do

Father, I pray against the feeling of being stuck 

I pray that if they need a push 

Let them take this as the push they need

To dream again

start again

Give them everything they need, Lord

For it says in John 10:10 in the Amplified Bible

That You, Lord, came for them to have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]

So I pray like it says in Deuteronomy 28:6 

In the New Living Translation that 

You will bless them 

Wherever they go and whatever they do, they will be blessed.

Amen

The Comeback

 There is a saying, 

It doesn't matter how you start but how you finish

I sometimes think of life as a race

In a race, you run and can start out strong

But if you get tired and slow down,

People will pass you

No one congratulates the start of the race

It is about how the race ended

Now you may see other people in life

They are fast and running, making progress in the race of life

Don't compare yourself to them

Your race is not over

You can always have a comeback

You don't have to quit

Never quit

In Ecclesiastes 9:11 it says 

The race is not to the swift (fast)

or the battle to the strong,

or does food come to the wise

or wealth to the brilliant

or favor to the learned;

but time and chance happen to them all.

    

Never give up

A great example of not quitting is

Is the story of the tortoise (turtle) and the hare (rabbit)

The tortoise was slow and steady

And the hare was fast but didn't finish the race 

The hare took a nap,

When the race started, the tortoise was far behind the hare

The tortoise kept going and didn't quit

And won the race 

The tortoise had a big comeback

So don't put a period where there should be a comma

Don't stop until you win 

You can make a comeback 

There is nothing that you can't do

The Lord is on your side 

You are more than a conqueror

You must believe in yourself

And more importantly 

You must believe in  your Father God

God loves you 

And has already supplied you with all you need

To do all He called you to do, Be what God called you to be

Remember Philippians 4:13

It says I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength

You can, No! You will have a comeback

Stop thinking negative thoughts 

and start speaking positively; keep saying positive words until you believe them

I know that life can have many setbacks 

But the best comeback stories have major setbacks

There is nothing too hard for God

No matter what you are going through

There is someone who can say they have been in your situation

and no longer struggling but striving

God can take your hurts and pain and turn  them into joy

God wants you to live and enjoy life in abundance 

to the full until it overflows

An overflow of blessing 

An overflow of goodness

You can make a comeback

Don't stress or worry

God has you

In Deuteronomy 31:6 it says

Be strong and courageous. 

Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,

For the Lord your God goes with you; 

He will never leave you nor forsake you."

May I pray for you?

Father God,

I pray for the person reading this blog 

I pray that You will bless and provide for them

Give them faith, joy, and peace

I pray that their story will have such a remarkable comeback

that all the setbacks and hardships they endured 

Will be forgotten 

I pray that You, Lord, will show them Your glory and power

Be with them in every area of their lives

Guild their steps

I pray that their future is bright 

And that nothing will stop them from achieving their goals

And going after their dreams

Let they believe that with You, Lord, All things are possible

It's a New Year

It is a new year 

We are a few days into the new year and I hope this year is going well for you.

I pray that you will see your significance and how important you are 

I pray that you will see your value 

I pray for a change like no other 

That this year will be a change for you and you will see all the changes for good in your life

I pray that you never give up 

That you will strive until you see your goals and dreams

I pray that you will have insight and wisdom in everything you do

I pray that you will grow closer to God 

I pray that you will feel God's presence

I pray you will see mighty miraculous miracles 

That can't be explained but God made a way for you 

I pray all of this for you, your family, friends, and loved ones
