Spent the entire day alternately sleeping and listening to pastor P's CDs and praying and reading the Bible. Last night I fell asleep listening to his sermon on "thanking your way to faith and peace", which was very apt cos I was very troubled and couldn't sleep, so at 3am I put the CD on, and his voice and the message somehow or other put me into a fitful sleep. In fact I haven't even stirred from my room since (till now, 6.45pm) except to grab a piece of bread and a bottle of yakult at 10am, then went back into my curtain-darkened room and re-listened to that sermon. And even though my heart was so troubled, it brought me a measure of peace. Because it taught me how to pray in faith. I wrote my own prayer in accordance to the troubles I was facing, and after I prayed it, I felt peace, and I went to sleep again.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
-Phil 4:6-7
I think if I hadn't listened to this sermon I would have gone crazy and done something stupid to myself. Truly, God's message saved me today.
Lord, I cast all my worries about _______ into your loving hands.
Father, I want to (request)____________.
I thank you, O Lord, for your faithfulness. Lord I thank you, that whether or not _________ happens, You'll always provide for all my needs. You who feed the birds of the air and cloth the lilies of the field, you'll take care of me, you are my refuge and my source of all things. I thank you that you love me, and give me your peace.
In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen.
