1.Don’t be surprised if people try to detour you from your path when you’re doing well and headed in the right direction. It’s a normal human trait. Recognize it. Know their game and be on full alert. Stand your ground politely but firmly. Do what you must and don’t be distracted. ‬

2.Almighty. Grant us the strength & the courage to carry on. A lot’s going on around us & it’s easy to become despondent. Our energy & motivation are constantly being tested. Don’t let the pressures of life push us down. Help us not to quit but to keep going at a steady pace!

3.If your heart is not in the right place, you’ll never feel at ease. Purify your intenion in everything that you do. In this age of social media it’s easy to show off, get carried away & thrive on exaggerated needs for acceptance & validation. Protect your heart at all times.

4.Man is always comparing. We often feel the other person is in a much better state than we are. Instead of accepting & appreciating what we have, we always find a way to look at what others have. Be wary. In trying to achieve something better, one may end up losing what one has!‬

5.The Almighty is the Controller of Hearts. He can change things in the blink of an eye. Don’t forget! He can heal what has been hurting for years in a flash. He can forgive as He wills. Nothing is beyond the Lord of the Worlds. Have faith that things will work out in the end. ‬

6.Pay heed to whatever comes out of your mouth. Every word you utter matters. It really does. You may not think so but trust me when I say that the power of words is immense. It can make you or break you. It has the ability to change someone’s life! Choose your words carefully!‬

7.Learn to see the best in people. Believe the best about them too. No matter how much you disagree, try to find common ground. Spread peace. Quit fighting and bickering. Build bridges. Don’t hate. Don’t look down on anyone. Life’s too short to be doing otherwise.

8.Stop overthinking. Calm down. Spiritual growth takes time. It doesn’t happen overnight. Just because your progress is not obvious does not mean nothing is happening. Keep praying. Keep believing. The Almighty’s in full control. He’ll make things happen when the time is right!

9.People will have an opinion of you & there is nothing you can do about it. It’s become easier to do that especially hiding behind the keyboard. It requires no accountability, no understanding. How about we cultivate empathy instead; the ability to feel what others are feeling?

10.Almighty. Grant us the strength that we need to face today. There are things happening around us that we do not understand. At times, we feel weak, helpless & even afraid. We know You’re in full control & we trust You. Have mercy on us as we struggle to endure life’s hardships!

11.Stop putting yourself down. Stop doubting how far you’ve come. Stop regretting the choices you’ve made. Satan will make you think otherwise. His job is to make you miserable and depressed. Don’t cave in. Always encourage, support and believe in yourself. That’s the way forward!

12.Almighty. Keep purifying our hearts of any resentment towards others. Help us to always be aware & conscious of You & to realise that our life is temporary. You can take us back any moment. Help us appreciate the value of time & to be aware of how precious & fleeting it is!
