A Bold Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray this prayer in the power of the Holy Spirit,
I thank You for all that You have done in my life and all that I know You
are going to do. (Thank Him for specific blessings each day)

I confess that I am healed and whole, physically, mentally, emotionally,
and spiritually, and as your child, I stand on your Word, that no weapon
formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). I put on the whole armor
of God according to Eph. 6:10-18.

I have a blood covenant with You, Father, and because of this covenant,
I have authority over all ungodliness that may come against me or my
family. I bind and render useless all spoken negative words directed at me, or my family, or anyone I love, or anybody that works for me or my business, which is Your business in Truth;
whether those negative words be witchcraft, psychic, or soul force or any other
spiritual or worldly device.

I bind and bring to no effect, all demonic attacks against myself, my
family and my loved ones, my friends and employees, our minds, our bodies, our home, our automobiles, our finances, all areas of our lives. I use my authority in the name of Jesus Christ to bind any fear spirits, hindering spirits, and deceiving spirits, including gossip, slander,
jealousy, pride, envy, strife, and anger, that may try to come against me, my loved ones, my friends, my associates and my business.

Lord. I ask you to fill me afresh today with the Holy Spirit, to lead and
guide me, giving me wisdom, knowledge, and discernment over all I do. As I walk in
Your love please let me be prosperous in all I set my hand to do.

I pray for opportunities to share the Gospel and plant seeds. I pray for
the wisdom to walk in Your will and to make the right choices. I call
forth divine appointments and open doors of opportunity to share my
testimony, and I will give You all the glory, honor, and praise always!

I cover myself, my family, all my loved ones, my friends, my employees and my business with the protective power of the blood of Jesus Christ. I ask the protection of your holy angels to surround us, (our children and our grandchildren, and all my descendents) in every area of our lives.

I ask this prayer in the power and precious name of Jesus Christ, my Lord, and
Savior and I make these declarations in Christ's name. Amen.

Ok -- this is just a flame bait, pretty much, but I am REALLY ticked off at running through code that doesn't have comments because we're all "afraid of looking uncool" and admitting that we're all not computers.

Do you know how ANNOYING it is to face an empty page of goo that some knucklehead thought was "self-documenting" and it wasn't?

Well, my rule is pretty simple, if you're smart enough to code, your comments will be of some value.

But here's the flame-bait (haha you can't comment, sorry, blame the spammers).

If ANYBODY believes that comments are stupid, they're junior developers, who haven't worked on large programs with more than a handful of people. They're either masterful solo developers, or chuckleheads.

Comment your code, think of then next guy. Yeah, I can track your code, but you know what? If you were so kind as to tell me what the require() inside the require() inside the call to a config file is going to return (as a var, not a literal), you'd PROBABLY save me at least 10 minutes and let me stay ON TRACK.

Comments are good -- you want to be cool? Go write some cheese on your own machine, don't put it on mine, or offer it to the dev community.

You know where comments live? Right behind RTFM ... you're just NOT that cool.
