20110821 Pray for Our Teen

Thank You Lord for simple fun times with our teen.
Lord make us wise and listen to Your advice.
We call out Your Name and seek Your guidance
moment by moment
each of our days.
Help us teach by how we live.
Give us the courage and hope to instruct our teen to successfully run life's race.
To know his calling, the condition that's best for his soul
that least exposes him to Your wrath but gives him more opportunity
of serving and enjoying You, Our Lord.

20110416 He is Lord

You made me walk amongst the dead
And see through their made up pallor
You showed me imitations of Your work
supplemented, altered, and counteracted upon.


You let me hear the soul's anguish
You make me discern the enemies' deceit.
"Subdue, rule over, work, take care"
You do it.  You are Lord.

20110410 Presence

Lord, it is You that have led me thus far,
You enticed me to the path that leads to life.
You showed me how to walk the narrow way
A walk for two,
of You and me.

To know You and live in Your Presence.
Not just an assurance to claim when my life's through.
You filled me with Your Presence each moment of the day
Such exciting way of life You granted.
I will delight in the pleasures that You give.

You will make me speak of Your good deeds
in every conversations though be few.
You want me to see how You can change one's view.
I shall wait for You,
As only You can,
one's mind renew.

Surrender

Psalm 37:4
Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.


When I was young and selfish, I thought He will give me what I wanted.
As I grew older and yet did not get what I wanted,
I began to seriously ask Him what He meant by it.


In time He made me understand that He wanted me to want what He wanted me to want.
Pressed for time, I succumbed (Lord, You are patient) and asked Him then to make me want what He wanted me to want.
He took it right away even when I am not that ready to change my heart. (Lord, You are merciful)
Boy, am I glad that I surrendered!

Dear Howard, Catherine, Rachel & Chung,

Precious moments together though short,

An impulse to soar that needs support.

There is one task ,a portion I can share,

To bend my knees for you in prayer.

May you find liberty as the wise man sees,

life is not thorns, thistles and toils but ease.


(Thanks to Howard for this photo
looking forward to his coming solo exhibit.)
