Our Reasons

Lord, You are the reason why 

even in pain, I smile;

in confusion, I understand;

in betrayal, I trust;

and in fear, I find courage.

For surely, O Lord, You bless the righteous; You surround them with your favor as with a shield. ~Psalm 5:12

For He will hide me in his shelter in the day of trouble; He will conceal me under the cover of his tent; He will lift me high upon a rock. ~Psalm 27:5

Every Day

Every day may not be good… 

but there’s something good in every day.

  I will praise you every day; 

yes, I will praise you forever.

~Psalm 145:2

I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart;

I will tell of all Your wonders.

I will be glad and exult in You;

I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

~Psalms 9:1-2

I Bring To You

I am weak and poor, O Lord,

but You have not forgotten me.

You are my Savior and my God;

hurry to my aid!

~Psalm 40:17

Lord, I bring to You my burden because

You know my situation.

I cannot make it without you.

Please comfort my heart, 

give me strength and 

help me carry on. Amen.

Change of Heart

Sometimes, God doesn't change our current situation

because He is trying to change our heart.

Create in me a pure heart, O God,

 Restore to me the joy of your salvation

    and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.

~Psalm 51:10-12

Wrap Your Arms

Dear Lord please wrap your arms

around those who are hurting today,

And let them feel how much 

You love them. Amen.

Jesus images

Be merciful to me, Lord, for I am in distress;

my eyes grow weak with sorrow,

my soul and body with grief.

My life is consumed by anguish

and my years by groaning;

my strength fails because of my affliction,

and my bones grow weak.

~Psalm 31:9-10

I am in pain and distress; 

may your salvation, O God, protect me. 

~Psalm 69:29

  Lord our God, we are living in a world full of troubles. Sometimes, we tend to become 'problem-centered' rather than 'God-centered'. Help us to soar above every difficulty. Strengthen us with courage, hope and confidence to trust You more than anything. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

So Be It

A person may plan his own journey,

but the Lord directs his steps. ~Proverbs 16:9

O God, I wish to mold 

my life according to my plans, 

but I can’t.

I know You have Your own blueprints.

Kindly lead me to Your way

and I’ll strive to obey. 
In Jesus' name. Amen

God's Plan is Bigger

Therefore we do not lose heart. 

~2 Corinthians 4:16

Sometimes we messed up. And then we tell ourselves that maybe we have missed God’s plans for us. But the Lord is telling us “No!, always believe that the best is yet to come!”

Yes, we  make mistakes. God knows our limitations, our shortcomings. He even makes room for those mistakes. But by God’s grace, He will use our failures to bless us and  build us up again..and again.

Because in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)
