Abandoning Myself to Him!

Can you think of a time, when nothing you ask, seem to be happening. Nothing you prayed for seem to happen. All around is pain, suffering and all you have is ... You and promises.

Thats the best place to be. I guess thats the best place a man can be.
True... I can pour my heart during those times....One thing that keeps me living is the promises of God and His love for me. During those times, my tears at His feet are like fountain that is rarely dry. The promise that He collects all my tears gives me comfort. The promise that He cares for me supernaturally soothes my being.

Truly, I dont need anything else....

There is a song I very often hear.. The lyrics of the song goes on....., ' Float the basket across the nile'. the music is so heart rendering....

I Imagine, myself on the basket facing the night, starlit sky....
Waves which I m not in control of moving me...
Fears all around, of wind, rain, storm, falling huge waterfall ...
I know not whats coming.... I cant see.....

I m not fretting, fearing, or overwhelmed....

Only one thing remains in my deepest being:

'Pure trust in God'..... that He ll see me through...

I thank God for making me ride on the basket, Giving cozy feeling, For giving me eyes to see the sky so beautiful with moon and stars...

I thank God for giving me 'Hope in a hopeless life, Faith in an awesome God, Pure Love from Jesus to live on'.

Without My God, Jesus, I would have found no reason to live, I would have been dead by now.




Just believing that God will carry me where He wants me to be....

One Worthy Prayer!

I have seen so many prayers, I have the habit of looking also many places for the right words that just articulates my heart and inspires my soul to get into deeper intimacy with God.

Recently came across a prayer made by Paul. Man, I m amazed. That prayer has everything I would ever aspire to express. Its in Colossians Chapter 1 :9,10,11,12. Each and every word shows the depth of wisdom and purity of purpose in the prayer.

Oh, How I desire to make that my prayer.....

I ll keep only 2 verses, 9 and 10 th verses here, leave 11th and 12th verse to you to dig.
In NIV, see these verses.

9For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,

My heart went literally ablaze when i saw these verses in Amplified Bible.
Yeah, This is one prayer I m gonna make it my prayer. I needed words , Here they are...

Lord, Fill me with the knowledge of Your will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding so that I will a life worthy of the Lord and pleasing You in every way, bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God!

For Your Glory to be revealed in my life, I ask!

Superficiality! The curse of our age!

Richard Foster writes,

" Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people but for deep people.

Psalm 42:7 reads,'Deep calls to deep'. Perhaps somewhere in the subterranean chambers of your life you have heard the call to deeper, fuller living. You have become weary of frothy experiences and shallow teaching. Every now and then you have caught glimpses, hints of something more than you have known. Inwardly you long to launch out into the deep."
