Taking to his Twitter page, Pistorius wrote: 'Thank you to my loved ones and those that have been there for me, who have picked me up and helped me through everything.'

He also retweeted a message from his uncle, Arnold Pistorius, which read: 'As LIGHT destroy DARKNESS TRUTH will destroy the EVIL.'

The Paralympian now has to wait until September 11 to learn his fate, after six months on trial for the murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.

Pistorius also tweeted an inspirational passage from Danielle Koepke, alongside the message: 'Lord, I know you have a plan for each & everyone that is struggling, please give them peace and help them to believe.'

Part of the passage reads: 'No matter how difficult things seem, there is always hope. And I've learned that no matter how powerless we feel or how horrible things seem, we can't give up.'

The evidently religious athlete also reminded his followers to 'take the time today to at least once, Thank, to Show Love, to Bless, to Breath, to Forgive, to Be Still and to Care.'
