Dear Lord

Here is my prayer to You,


Let me abide in Your love always


Give me full understanding of Your word--making the cross as the object of my faith always


Abide in me always so that Your Holy Spirit can work its fullestto bring forth proper fruits in me


Stir up my focus and let me depend in You always


My Lord, I need you.


You know the calling of my deepest desires


My silence is heard by You, so I know You're listening as I speak


I need to work.


A work that can never stop me from engaging in the ministry.


So help me to manage my time well--my devotion, ministry, work, responsibilities at home and ofcourse, my social life.


May my work change me into a better person, not a bitter person


Change me into a submissive, hardworking, respectful, disciplined and God-fearing employee.


Make me a proper steward Lord.


I want to work in a medical related company or in an office.


I don't want to work in a call center.


You said Lord in Jeremiah 29:11 that You have plans for me, plans to prosper me and not to hrm me; plans to give me hope and a future.


And I trust in Your plans Lord.


So until then, increase my heart's desire to seek you everyday.

This prayer was just answered by God today, July 28, 2017 when a medical related company whose work is office based called me that I have past their interview and test and that I am scheduled for an orientation next week. Their working days are only 5 days a week unless ofcourse there's a deadline to meet so you'll have to work on a Saturday which is considered as overtime. So this is really an advantage for God's ministry. This prayer was a silent one, I wrote this down on one of my prayer journals to keep track of God's answers to my prayers. Like Hannah's silent plea for a son, God heard my silence and answered me.


"---even your silence is heard by God."


But even though God will not give me what I want, nor God will not answer my prayers, that will not change the fact that He is good. God's goodness and faithfulness cannot be measured by one's answered prayer, 

And it takes genuine faith to still say that "God is good" when in times of adversary

And it takes genuine faith to still say that "God is good" when in times of adversary. Many will label us as crazy for having said that God is good when God had allowed something terrible to happen to us but His goodness is not defined by the good things that He has done but for who He really is.


So I'll say it again, God is good all the time. And all the time God is good!
