My Blog

For the past weeks I’ve been in valleys. I find it hard to climb up again, but i need to. Why? What happened? It is because of my own foolishness. Often in my own human nature I rely on my own strength. I thought that I could be strong and grow without God. But I was so wrong. Resulting myself to feel tired. I felt like I am being tossed by the waves left and right, up and down. My emotions are unstable. One day i feel happy, moments later I’ll go grumpy. Thinking what’s wrong with me while the fact there’s noting wrong at all. So since I’m in this situation, what can I do? There’s no way of turning back. All I can do is to move on positively. I thank God for His word that often life unto me. Help me to rekindle the fire of love towards my creator, my Father. Thinking of the good things He has done, I’ll wait patiently to hear His voice again. Praise Him for who He is. My Father disciplines me when I’ve done wrong. Knowing I need to grow in Christ, God place my in this situation.
This is a song that speaks of what I am going through. It reminds me to thank God in every circumstance that I am going through.

Thank you Lord
For the trails that come my way
In that way I can grow each day
As I let You lead
And thank you Lord
For the patience those trails bring
In that process of growing
I can learn to care

Chorus:
But it goes against the way I am
To put my human nature down
And let the Spirit take control of all I do
‘Cause when those trials come
My human nature shouts the thing I do
And God’s soft prompting can be easily ignored

Yes I thank You Lord
In the tempting I meet each day
You are there to provide a way
Of escape for me
And I thank you Lord
Through the trials that I must face
It’s sufficient to know Your grace
And the weak made strong

Yes i thank you Lord
For the victory that growing brings
In surrender of everything
Life is so worthwhile
And I thank you Lord
That when everything’s put in place
Out in front I can see Your face
And it’s there You belong!

A students prayer

Lord, grant me a quiet heart,
before exams start.
Lead me to use my leisure hours,
to invigorate my powers.
My mind from daydreams liberate,
give me the will to concentrate.
From all distractions set me free;
that in my studies I may be
A student with a sole fulfillment,
to make my work a sacrament.

From my faint heart in love expel,
all failures fears that therein dwell.
And from my pillow drive away,
all dark foreboding of the day.
Help me in faith to rest so deep,
that I may have untroubled sleep.
While notes and lectures I prepare,
may I not lost zeal for prayer.

And may I not forget to look,
for guidance in Thy Book.
And may I ever grateful be,
to all who daily pray for me.
While for myself I intercede,
for other students too I plead;
So may exams find
each one alert in heart and mind.

Thus inward joy and peace possessing,
May exams prove a source of blessing.

Amen.

Give me strength and wisdom,
When others need my touch,
A soothing word to speak to them,
Their heart yearn for so much,
Give my joy and laughter,
To lift a waery soul,
Pour me in compassion,
To make the broken wole,
Give me gentle, healing words,
For those left in my care,
A blesing to those wo need me,
This is a nurses prayer.

Dear Lord….
