| "Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders; Let me walk upon the waters wherever You would call me; Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Saviour” |
As I look into the ocean, all I can ever think of is how vast God’s love for me. It’s beyond the peripheral of my vision, it’s inifinity. The sound of the wave, the breeze, the view makes my whole body be at peace at least for that single moment. I breathe God’s goodness.
Although in that instant, I can feel that there’s struggle within me. My mind says one thing and my heart says the opposite. Sometimes I can’t help but feel trapped within my own self. What should I do? Hence I pour my heart into prayer:
Dear God, You know all that is in my heart without me saying it. You are the maker of all things, of all that is good and beautiful. I just want to thank You for moments of stillness and reflection. Thank You for allowing me to rest in your presence. Thank You for the life you gave me. Thank You for the endless possibility to dream and live. Thank You for the provisions: good health, work, family, friends and instilling hope. Thank You for your continued mercy and love beyond measure.
But Lord, amidst all of it, I know it's not always sunshine and rainbows. And here I am, once again, puzzled and confused. I am currently in the dilemma of trying to figure out what I want. Should I stay or should I go? The choices I have will affect all that surrounds me and I just want the assurance that everything will be fine. I lack the ability to surrender, to trust and to let You take control. And so I always ask myself, "how many times have You outdone me?" A lot of times, so why do I worry? I know deep down that You are already taking care of me. I am certain that You will never leave me at a place where I cannot push through.
I guess Lord, what I'm trying to say here is that please continue to pour out Your grace upon me that in whatever road I will be taking You will be there with me. I also ask that you give me patience when things are not going right; to give me courage and strength to endure the roadblocks and setbacks; to humble me when I feel so proud and mighty; to use me as an instrument of Your goodness to those around me; to be fearless and bold in my faith; to be loving and forgiving; and to mold me to be the child You wanted me to be. I'm scared Lord to enter to an uncertain path but as what others would tell me, how would I know if I don't give it a try? How would I know if this is part of the plan you have for me? How would I know? I wouldn't!
But honestly Lord, if everything fails, I know YOU won't. You will remain the same: faithful and true. So I end this prayer of mine, offering You my heart's desires. Let Your will be done, my God, my Savior.
