Week 8: 10 Personal Daily Affirmations

20160725_171009

Buon giorno! 

Week 8 topic is quite easy for me so I won’t procrastinate any longer to finish this post. Nothing beats the comfort from the affirmation that comes from the Lord so what I will share are my favorite timeless promises I received from the Lord during my quiet times in the past.

In  no particular order:

  1. I am forgiven.

 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)

2. The Lord is my shield. 

Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame. (Psalm 34:5)

3. I am highly favored.

I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you. (Leviticus 26:9)

4. Perseverance is the key.

 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. (Hebrews 10:35-36)

5. Ask, seek, knock. 

Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8)

6. I am blessed with everything I need.

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.(2 Peter 1:3)

7. God’s plan and purpose will always prevail.

Surely, as I have planned, so it will be,
    and as I have purposed, so it will happen. (Isaiah 14:24)

8. I am loved forever. 

The Lord appeared to us in the past,[a] saying: 

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” (Jeremiah 31:3)

9. I am called to make a lasting impact.

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit–fruit that will last–and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. (John 15:16)

10. I am beautiful.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well. (Psalm 139:14)

Week 7: I love it when….

Hello! Welcome to week 7. I want to make a longer list for this post but since this post is way long overdue, i’ll just make it two. So here we go!

I LOVE IT WHEN…

God answers my most random and silliest prayers.
I’ve always known that Jesus is the God of the impossible but I often forget that He is also the God of small things. So I always find it amazing whenever God answers my silliest and even my unuttered prayers and secret desires.
One perfect example of this was when I made a note to myself that I need to buy an external drive for my computer files. A few weeks later, our office issued a 1 tera external drive because our office laptop has very limited storage capacity. I praise God for it because I no longer need to pay for it. Indeed, why pay when you can pray, right?

I get random updates from my old friends
Rekindling and nurturing old friendships is quite a challenge for me nowadays. As much as I want to keep in touch with my old friends, life happens so spending time with them became less and less through the years. Even simple sms and online chat became less frequent that’s why I always try to say hi to them from time to time. But then I realize that it’s me who always try to make the effort to reach out to them so I got tired eventually and just let our friendship remain silent for a while. That’s why I always feel happy whenever I get some opportunity to hear updates from old friends. I also appreciate it whenever I get random sms or chat from them, specially when they are the first one to do so.
