To Look Using God’s Own Eyes

to look using God's own eyes 2012

I pray I could learn
to look at people,
the way God sees each one of us –

to be able to forego the little mistakes,
maybe even the big ones

to be able to see weaknesses
turned into strength

to know something’s hurting
and yet know that the hurt
would be healed in time

to look beyond judgment

to see with an understanding heart

to see what’s beautiful

to appreciate what’s good

to not measure anybody’s destiny
with their present plight

but to see real hope for everyone
the way God sees us

To know that orphans
have their Father

To know that those imprisoned
have One who will set them free

To see how the poor
will one day bask in God’s abundance

To see the brokenhearted
in days when God Himself
will cradle them upon His lap

To be able to see with God’s own eyes
is to see with gladness,
with hope,
and with a love so strong
it could never ever fail!

A Prayer for My Dear Friend

a prayer for my dear friend

Dear Lord, bless my friend who came from Thee

Save her from every harm

Rescue her from every evil and pain.

Guide always her path

And provide her with your Light,

That she may not stray,

And always find her way back home.

Protect her thoughts oh, Lord,

That she may not be anxious

But have the assurance that comes from Your Grace.

Surround her heart with your strength

That she may live in love

And thereby live a meaningful life

Wherever she may be.

May she never forget our friendship

And find in it a treasure that does not fade.

May she remember that there is a person she can lean on to

In times of need,

In times when she may cry.

And even in those times when I can’t be there

To hold her hand,

May she always know she’s not alone

For You are there, O Lord,

The One who has given us this blessing of friendship,

The One who will protect its joy forever more.

Three Things I Asked In Prayer

three things I asked in prayer 2012This morning, there were three things I’ve asked for in prayer.  They just came out naturally, from my heart.  They’re simple things many people may not ask for given three things to pray for.

1.  Health

I prayed for health so I could do more things and be of service to more people.  I’ve noticed that when my physical health was down, all my energies contract and I can’t attend to anyone else but myself.  That’s nature’s way, for the millions of tiny living systems in your body to concentrate first in your healing before they could do anything else. I pray for health.  When I am healthy I am less irritable, I am more tolerable, I have more buffer in giving of myself and I can accomplish many things.

2. Courage

I prayed for courage to be able to accomplish what is right.  We may be given health, but having courage to do what should be done is certainly a different thing.  In these difficult times, people often swallow their courage in place of something else, something that often proves to be not worth it.  Courage defines your soul, which later on defines the outward manifestation of your being, your life.

3. A Sense of Humor

We may forget many things, but may we never forget to laugh.  After all, all things are passing, even our troubles.  We are beings of eternity, so what does it matter how many blunders you make today? You will learn out of it, and you will come out of it a better person, a better “you” that the whole world would be thankful for.  A sense of humor is a sign of confidence.  It tells us we can survive the storm, even if it messes up our hair and drenches our best suits.

A Prayer Letting Go

a prayer letting go 2012

Dear Jesus, I come to you now with a broken heart and a weary spirit. I dont know how I can carry on each day knowing that a part of me had already gone, never ever to return. Can I ever be complete again? Can I ever smile again at the coming of a new day? Day after day I miss him more and more. Day after day my longing grows but it can never be fulfilled. How can I possibly live my life again? How do I overcome this feeling that I am now all alone and I shall always be alone or the rest of my life?
