"It’s a sweet little reminder of God’s care and what’s happening in our lives too....I’m learning that His will isn’t always easy or simple, and the journey may not be what we expect, but we can trust His heart..."

her testimony spoke to me. :)

DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING, BUT IN EVERYTHING,
BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH THANKSGIVING, PRESENT
YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD.
( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 *NIV )

Dear Mingxiu,
I ask you wouldn't it be wonderful not to have any worries
at all! That is hard to imagine isn't it, for it seems like worry is
part of this life. The part of life that causes us to lose sleep,
damages our health, controls our thoughts, and causes us to
lose faith in God.

Jesus Christ asked: "WHO OF YOU BY WORRYING CAN
ADD A SINGLE HOUR TO HIS LIFE?" (MATTHEW 6:27). The
answer is simple, no one! Jesus also said: "DO NOT WORRY
ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR TOMORROW WILL WORRY
ABOUT ITSELF." ( MATTHEW 6:34 ).

So why not turn your worries into prayers, after all God
promises to supply all of our needs anyway! Therefore
there is also an added benefit when we turn our worries into
prayers, for God also promises us that: WHEN YOU LIE
DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE AFRAID: WHEN YOU LIE DOWN
YOUR SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. (PROVERBS 3:24)

Therefore Mingxiu, turn your worries into prayers and
you will have sweet dreams, instead of sleepless nights! Also
then you may even start to count your blessings instead of
sheep as well! Amen.

I will say of the LORD; He is my refuge, my fortress; my God; in Him will I trust. Psalms 91:1-2

*****

Father, You are ever-faithful.

Thank you for opening up the eyes of my heart, to get me to pray for others apart for myself.

Forgive me Lord, for the times that I have failed to see the needs of my family and friends.

Forgive me Lord, for the times that I have failed to understand Your heart for the nations that have turned away from You.

Forgive me Lord, for the times that I thought my problems, sorrows and challenges were the most important, and nothing else matters on Your agenda.

Prune me Lord. Prepare me Lord. Empower me Lord.

I can do all things through Him, who gives me strength.

And the joy of the Lord, IS my strength.

Amen.

Acts 17:26-27
From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

I desire inspirations from Him. for moments in my life, i have had the sense i have been far from His voice, and there were moments too, that I know He was audible and i could hear Him clearly.

then what comes closely is to act on what you hear.

i know it when i am far; i feel strangely "off-form", irritable and hopeless.

i know it when i am near; i feel "on-form", peacefilled, and confident despite circumstances.

even as a Christian for coming 6 years, it has been a feat to find that perfect balance within myself many times, to always be able to commit everything to Him.

reading "In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart" by Ruth Graham currently. There was no special reason why i bought this book, except to make steps in making sense of the prophecy in my life- restoration ministry.

God works through your ruins, restores it, so that you may be a restorer for others in time to come. His big picture, His great plans.
