A friend's death

A friend of mine died 2 days ago, in a car accident in New Zealand, where she and 3 of her friends plunged into a lake. It was winter. When I heard of the news I was shocked. She’s only 20. She had just got her scholarship to study in NZ months ago. And now…

The wise men say, it is not how long you lived that matters, but how meaningful your life was. Isn’t it true? I thank God for giving us Veronica, although it was only for a short period of time, she has been a source of inspiration, joy, & hope to many of us. We love her. As we soothe our hearts with tears, we know that Jesus is weeping with us. He is with us, Emmanuel.

But we also trust that God has His divine purpose in everything, though we may not understand, though we may not rationalize it. For God has said, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope & a future.”

So now I ask that Father, speak to us. Open our ears so we may hear you. Let us hear you Lord. I thank you for Veronica has believed in Jesus, and she is saved. Thank you for bringing Veronica home with you in heaven. Thank you God, for you are our stronghold, our rock, our comfort, our shelter. Strengthen us, give us courage, increase our faith Lord, so we may face the days to come faithfully, walking with Jesus.
In Jesus’ name I pray, AMEN.

“If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.”

God is good, always. AMEN!

testing me?

my bos is away overseas for a month - and i'm absolutely busy here. Busy is ok, working more hours without appreciation... all the due stresses and pressure without anyone understanding... I wished to give up several times... but i know that that's not the way. but there is still one more month to go.. how do i live on/go on?

Dear father in heaven, in times when i am weak, i thank you for being there with me. In times when i crumble into pieces, thank you for fixing them into one piece again and enable me to walk on again the next day. God i ask this of you, come what may be, but let it be as you will dear Lord, and i that you always be with me, encourage me, give me strength, strengthen my faith as i am feeble, weak... and help me Lord. Carry me when i fell flat on the ground and didn't want to get up. Forgive me for my weakness Lord. In times when I walk on difficult paths of life, Lord I ask that you grant me wisdom and your divine understanding, so that I will make the right decision which pleases you Lord. God i thank you, thank you for your ever abundant love and mercy. Bless you lord and love you...

In Jesus' name i pray, amen.
