God’s Power In My Life

    My Lord, my Savior, my Everything, my heart rejoices in You, for You are my strong shelter in times of trouble and stress, my hiding place to whom I may continually resort.. my Father who lovingly provides for me… my Shepherd who guides and protects me… my God who is mighty to save, who rests in His love for me and rejoices over me with singing, with shouts of joy! You are my inheritance, my share in life, the One who satisfies my longing soul and fills my hungry soul with goodness.

   You are too wise to ever make a mistake, too loving to ever do anything unkind. You act on my behalf, accomplishing what concerns me and fulfilling Your purpose for me as I call on You.. Thank You that You love me deeply and tenderly. You are compassionate and gracious, full of lovingkindness, ready to forgive, patiently considerate, and generous beyond imagining. You desire my love and rejoice to do good things for me. You delight myself in You.. How precious is Your love to me, Oh God!

   I choose to thank You for my weaknesses, my infirmities, my inadequacies… for the ways I fall short of what people view as ideal.. for my feelings of helplessness and inferiority, and even my pain and distresses. What a comfort it is to know that You understand the feeling of my weaknesses! and that in Your infinite wisdom You have allowed these in my life so that they may contribute to Your high purposes for me.  Lord Jesus, my God, salamat po for that many a time my weaknesses cut through my pride and help me walk humbly with You.. then as You’ve promised, You give me more grace- You help and bless and strengthen me.. Lord, kelangan ko po ang presencia Nyo.. Uhaw na uhaw po ako Panginoon.. Thank You for all the ways Im inadequate, for they prod me to trust in You and not in myself.. and Im grateful that my adequacy comes from You, the all-sufficient God who is enough!

   Thank You that I can trust You to remove or change any of my weaknesses and handicaps and shortcomings the moment they are no longer need for Your glory, and for my good, and for the good of other people.. and that in the meantime, Your grace is sufficient for me, for Your strength is made perfect in my weakness!

   I’m so grateful that all my past circumstances were permitted by You to make me see my need of You and prepare my heart for Your Word.. to draw me to Yourself, and to work out Your good purpose for my life. I rejoice that You are the Blessed Controller of all things-You are now, You will be throughout the future, and You always were.. All my days had Your touch of love and wisdom, whether or not I can as yet fully see it.

     And Lord, I choose to look beyond my past and present troubles in this life of mine, this temporary life, and fix my eyes on the unseen things that will last forever. I praise Your for the eternal glory these things are piling up for me as I choose to trust You!

Yours,
