Blessings And Curses Experience

[OliviaM]

This past weekend I was invited to a showcase where colleges came out to scout. So I was staying in this hotel and suddenly there was a man with his hat covering his face and he was listening to music. So my teammates who were there for the showcase asked me to ask him if he played in the NBA. So I asked then he told me this, " Hi yes I walked on for the Atlanta Hawks, and this is my first year, then my brother is Jermaine O'Neal who has played for 16 seasons and he is upstairs." So everyone was surprised that he was all popular and stuff. But later on I went into the business center and just to find out he was in there. So he asking about my beats and how he liked the headphones so much and stuff. Next there was something in me saying see if this man is really what he said he was. Therefore I was on twitter and he had mentioned me so I clicked on his profile. Bachelor inc. popped up so I was like what is this and he said it was a company where people work for cars, technology, and etc about other fields so I was like ok. Then I went on the Atlanta Hawks roster and his name didn't show so then I began questioning him. Next thing you know the next morning my teammates' parents found out this man was a pimp and his so called bachelor inc company was all about women stripping and stuff next he wasn't even Jermaine O'Neal's brother. God taught me a lesson that people may say all this stuff about them and who they are and stuff but its not always true. Then the devil tries to attack God's people through the devil's servants but I know I can say that the devil wasn't able to attack me because God was there protecting me. I'm blessed to know I'm covered by His Psalms 91 covenant and that God is always with me no matter what. AMEN!!!

Father I pray that you would give this young woman wisdom, guidance and divine direction. For Scripture tells us that we should be in the world but not of the world. We are to be separate. We are not even supposed to be engaging in worldly behavior or activity. I pray that you would keep her safe from all harm and danger. In Jesus name I pray, Amen

Psalm 94:19 Tells Us…When I worried (when I am anxious) about many things, Your assuring words (God’s Word) soothed my soul with comfort and joy.





Let’s Pray… God I ask in Jesus’ name, “Minister to my heart through your Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Comfort me with peace and understanding when my spirit is troubled and I am overwhelmed. Let me pray about everything and not worry about anything. And as I am praying let the presence of Your Holy Spirit comfort me, quite my anxious thoughts and guard my heart and mind through Christ Jesus. Let me know that everything is going to be alright. That this will work out for my good.



When I don’t understand, give me understanding. When I don’t know which way to go, please direct my foot steps. Lead and guide me in the direction that You want me to take. Bless me with courage and deliver me from the spirit of fear when and if it tries to attack my faith with anxious thoughts. Bless me with strength when I am weak. Bless me with hope when all seems hopeless. Encourage Me Lord Jesus. Never let me give up on my God given dreams, and goals. Bless Me. Supply all my need. And all that I have asked You to do for me in this prayer please do the same for all those that care about me, those I care about, and the writer of this prayer, God Thank You for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.†Amen, so be it.





Philippians 4:6,7 tells us …. To be anxious for nothing (don’t worry about anything), but in everything by prayer and supplication (pray, talk to God), with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
