MY PRAYER

                                                     HOLD MY HAND,WALK WITH ME!

I am up and about many things!

I can't seem to make a decision right now.

All I want,is to cry

Cry over my life 

Cry over my family 

Cry over my nation

Cry over my career,my giftings.

Basically,I want to cry over everything.

Would you,would you please...

Hold my hand,

Walk with me.

Walk with me through life's sorrow and pain.

When friends reject me,

Walk with me,like Ruth did,Naomi

Walk with me like Jesus did,the disciples

Open my eyes to see beyond the things of this world,Lord!

For I know that what is seen is temporary,

But what is unseen is eternal.

Would you,would you please...

Hold my hand,

Walk with me.

Walk with me through our family

May I bring joy to my parents

May obedience to them be my life,

My life practice.

May my siblings find in me a loving friend  

May my husbands' bones grow very strong like a lions'

And may his heart be filled with joy and gladness 

For his Noble wife.

May my children find in me,not just a loving mother,

But a woman who will bring them up in the ways of the Lord.

Father,would you...

Would you please

Hold my hand,

Walk with me!

Walk with me through this nation.

That is filled with people,trying to find there identity

People,who want to relate to someone who knows someone

So that they can feel like,Fyuks! Atleast I know someone.

Teach me to show them love.

When they see my lifestyle,may they see you Jesus

May they find their identity in you 

But not in relating to me! 

Or working with me!

Or knowing someone who knows someone who knows me.

Jesus!

Hold my hand,

Walk with me.

Walk with me through my career,

Through economics and statistics 

May I be economical enough to know how to contribute to the balancing of my daily budget.

Such that in my budget,the amount of giving and tithing will not be under-estimate.

Like Jesus! 

Give me the right words to balance my figures,

So that no one will be found lacking around me.

Use my career,not only to contribute to the economy of this nation,

But more so,to the heavenly economy.

Hold my hand,

Walk with me.

Walk with me through my gifts and talents.

In a world where many have been misused

May I use them for your Glory.

In a world,where many have been killed,

May I nature them according to your will.

In a world where they are being taken for granted.

Teach me to encourage and appreciate them.

For if you are for us Lord,

No one can be against us.

Therefore, please...

Hold my hand,

Walk with me.

Walk with me through this world.

Where youths are conforming to it's patterns

Where husbands and wives are killing each other.

Where marriage is used for personal gains,

Like,if I give you this,will you do me that? 

Where relationships are like flights

You like,agree to the terms,give so as to receive.

Enjoy the flight and suddenly...

Passangers,fasten your seat belts,

we are almost landing.

And away you walk,letting it go,

Like nothing happened

In a world,

Where children never experience parental love.

Father,

Hold my hand,

Walk with me.

Would you like to join me,in asking God 

To hold my hand and walk with me? 

Walk with me through mountains and valleys

Through the fire and waters 

Cause apart from you I can do nothing.

In you all things are held together

And like Paul,I will one day say,

I have run the race,and I have kept the faith.

And then,i will gladly sing...

MY UNSPOKEN!

  HEAR ME OUT

I am the voice,the voice that shouts out from the streets,

I am filled with bitterness

Bitternes from rejection

Bitterness from judgements

Bitterness from abuse

I am the voice,

Hear me out.

I am the voice,

The voice ignored by leaders

I am filled with eagerness

Eagerness to find justice

Eagerness to protect my land

Eagerness to save a life

I am the voice,

Hear me out.

I am the voice

The voice that moves around

I am filled with worries

Worried of what I'll eat

Worried of what I'll wear

Worried of where I'll sleep

I am the voice,

Please hear me out.

This is the voice

The voice manipulated by politicians & preachers

Politicians filled with greed

Preachers filled with selfishness

Prophets filled with falsehood

Taking advantage of my desperation

I am the voice,

Will you please hear me out.

I am the voice

The voice that seeks your attention

I am filled with expectations

Expectations to be accepted

Expectations to be loved Expectations to be protected

I am the voice,

Hear me out.

I am the voice

The voice that calls out

I am filled with hope

Hope for a better tomorrow

Hope for a better life

Hope for a better me.

I am the voice,

Please hear me out.

I am the voice

The voice that cries out

I am filled with shattered dreams

Dreams to be well educated

Dreams to be a great person

Dreams to make the world a better place

Yes!!!

I AM THE VOICE

And i will be loud until you hear me out

Please save my voice.

FOR I AM THE VOICE.

What is love?

 I SPEAK OF LOVE

I speak of love that knew me before I was conceived

I speak of love that natured me since I was a toddler

You see as I grew up,I didn't know who love was

Having been brought up in a christian family,I thought I knew Him

I was actively involved in the church activities like most of us are

I was in sunday school,drama,music...

You can name it all.

But deep inside my heart I had a strong craving,a crave that left me feeling empty and made me soak my pillow with tears every night.

Am speaking of love that predistined me for adoption through Jesus Christ

Am speaking of love that chose me in Him even before the creation of the world

I became a little older

And as each day passed,life became tougher and tougher

Not having been brought up with a father, it was difficult trying to know who love really was

I tried to find Him in my friends

But I still felt empty

I tried to find Him in love songs

But the emptiness was still there

I tried to find Him in my family,in novels,in the television,in classic radio

But I just couldn't find Him

The empiness increased even the more

It was like a cancer disease eating me up slowly by slowly

But He kept whispering in my ear every moment

I love you child*3

Mind you,am speaking of love

Am speaking of love that grants peace which surpasses all human understanding

Am speaking of love that brings eternal joy and fulfilment

When I became a lady,I tried to find love in relationships,money and immorality

To me, love did make no sense

It was like a cliche to my ears

Because as I grew up,the statement "men are not to be trusted" was ingrained in my system like a birthday date

I lived in fear,anxiety and uncertainity

I didn't know what the future held for me

Like any other lady,I dreamt of a happy family with beautiful kids and a loving husband

But the point is,I didn't know what love is

Cause I didn't know who love is

At the end of the day,I was heartbroken,used and abused

I cried countless times in search of love

The emptiness became more and more

The truth is,many of us are looking for love in all the wrong places

But I am here to speak of true love

Because I found my true love, Jesus Christ!

He is my one and only

He is my all in all 

He is my one in all 

You see,many of us have been brought up with dads but have never known what it feels like to be loved by a father

Am speaking of love that raised me from grass to grace

Am speaking of love that is not inspired by looks,money or status

Am speaking of love that loves me for me

When I sought love,I found Him

He showed me what true love is

He told me that a good man never hurts his woman, but sometimes tastes her resolve to stand beside him unflateringly

Love taught me to trust,to be patient and kind,to love unconditionally,to be humble,to be generous,to forgive and forget

When I found love,I found me 

He told me to wrap my hands around proverbs 31

Because I don't want to be a disgace to my Abraham,my Isaac or my Jacob

When I found love,I found satisfaction,

And do you know what He calls me?

He calls me His beloved,His child,the apple of His eye

Thats why I can't help but always sing...

People lets not speak of love when we do not know God who is the true source of love
