Praying for strength

Quoted from Pastor Prince from today's Miracle Seed Sunday, "When there is a mess in your life, God turns it into a MESSAGE. When the devil creates test in your life, God turns it into a TESTIMONY." Amen to this short quote. It is as though God knows my thoughts and feelings even before I experience them myself.

During church service today, I felt a sense of uneasiness. I don't know how to describe it - there's so much going on in my little brain that it began to resist it by giving me a headache and of course, I was trying to nurse a little stomach discomfort, probably attributed by: (1) drinking Yakult Ace Light on an empty stomach; (2) eating Big Breakfast's eggs in the morning; or (3) the antibiotics that I've been taking for my eczema flare has destroyed my good gut bacteria.

Anyway, I just pray and commit all my burdens, worries and care unto the Lord.
Dear Father, you are a great and wonderful God. You know your children's needs even before we experience them. Lord, you know the situation that I am facing right now - persecution from my parents. I pray and ask that you will use me to move them, to touch their hearts. Allow them to see your grace working through me. Lord, I also pray for a breakthrough in my debts - in Jesus' name that I will be debt-free - that I will reap bountifully. I also pray and ask for your guidance when I am work, that you will help me to maintain a positive spirit to carry out the tasks at hand and not to be affected by JCIA audit. Lastly, Lord, I pray and ask that if it your will for me to get married, I ask that you will allow me to meet the correct man. Committing my life into your Hands, I pray and ask for strength and comfort. Amen.

A list of pick-me-ups that I will/may need for the week:
1) The Lord's comfort and strength
2) Teddy bear hugs
3) A listening ear
4) Sunflowers
5) Smiles
6) Alcohol night? - I miss my uni days - after dinner board games/mahjong, late night desserts, late night drinking and those silly card games. (:
