Lovespeak

Last night when I was going back with Jeanie, I reminded her about the importance of prayer when our human effort failed to solve a seemingly impossible problem. I thought about those that I constanly "scold" sometimes to strighten some convictions in them and how many times these people keep rising only to fall again the next time. I look back at those experiences and have seen results and failures (which I believe are future successes if the Lord wills). I can only do so little and no matter how hard I tried my effort is always limited. That is why we need to pray and to understand how prayer works. We pray expecting answers, but those answers are in accordance to the sovereign will of God which I accept. And the prayer that God listens are the prayer of the righteous and the desperate.

We have heard many stories of how prayer changes lives but many of us never live to believe it. We worry and worry, pray and then worry again. I am greatly comforted this morning. Very comforted because I know God listens to our prayers and God is in charge of the people I prayed for. It's good to know that we are in God's arms everytime we wake. That is His amazing grace and His great faithfulness!

In Your Arms

Missed the alarm, got up late
Some days start out second-rateLocked the keys in the car, tripped my way down the stairs
If I had it together, I'd almost be scared
It's just the real world, everything dont' always go right
But all I know is I'll be in your arms tonight

I'll be in your arms,
I'll be in your arms tonight

The grace to face our failures, the strength to carry on
The love You gave us through Ya, the heart to sing Your song
