Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. … And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy;
And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields.
And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief.
Much of your pain is self-chosen.
It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.
Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquillity:
For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen,
And the cup he brings, though it burn your lips, has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears. -Khalil Gibran-
Okay this will be mainly my prayers… and some of my doubts and requests of my dear life! I don’t know where my life is taking me at all. I got a lot of questions and just want them to be answered! I don’t know where I see my self in half of year or the next five years. Life is sure a crazy ride. It has its ups and downs. I don’t know what I will be doing in my dear life at all. I got feelings. I want to succeed in the right way. I don’t want to be chasing for popularity, fame, money… or anything that will make someone stumble! NO. It ain’t right. I am not sure if Bible College is where I should go… at all. I am lost. I just want to know where life is taking me. I don’t want to waste any of my time on the things that don’t matter anymore. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I don’t know what I will be doing. Lord, why do you feel so far away from me? I mean… is it because you are testing me how long can I handle with out you by my side? I mean God I know that I have been rejecting you a lot. I haven’t acknowledge of who you are. I know that my dad have been so so sad about me… the way that I have been treating him and the way that I am acting. But God please some to me and overflow me with wisdom and love. I want someone to show me what love is… and that is YOU. I calling for your help, come and rescue me from this darkness that I am in. Show me where to go and what to do in this life time! I want to feel you. I want to cry out for you. I am weak. I am so so weak. I am lost in this journey of life. Can you help me?
Whenever I am troubled and lost in deep despair. I bundle all my troubles up and go to God in Prayer. I tell Him I am heartsick and lost and lonely too. That I am deeply burdened and don't know what to do. But I know He stilled the tempest and calmed the angry sea. And I humbly ask if in His love. He will do the same for me. Then I just keep quiet and think on thoughts of peace. And as I abide in stillness my restless murmuring cease.
God I need you. I want to surrender my life. I am weak. I need you... I don't want to only surrender my life today and one time.... but all the time and forever more. Come and rescue me from this darkness. Father... I am your slave and really want to do what You command me to do! I don't want to serve two masters anymore! You are the everlasting master in the whole world!
Complain as little as possible of your wrongs, for, as a general rule, you may be sure that complaining is sin: because self love always magnifies injuries.
Your heart is breaking Your mind is unclear Your tired and restless and full of fear Come to me- even if You say words you shouldn't You don't do things you should You doubt and try to change, but never think you could. Come to me- even if You thought an evil thought You thought the thought again You turned the thought to action and now your bound in sin. Come to me- even if You say "But I knew better, I belong to you" Child, I am not surprised by anything you do. I made you in my image I fashioned you with care, When you cried tears into your pillow, remember I was there. I have always been and always will I be. For even when you do those things, you still belong to me. Even if you do these things, Oh child, don't you see? Even if, even if, you still can come to me. There is a secret place I have created where you may seek my face, this place I have for you is called "The Father's Warm Embrace" And when I have held you in my arms and rocked you, listening closely to your fears, I will place you on my lap and wipe away your tears. Then, I will smile. A smile to let you know I am pleased. For when you hurt and when you sinned, still- you came to me. So, do not draw back from me my child, I am Abba Father to you, remember in my word I said -Behold, I make all things new. I will forgive you, heal you, restore you, I will shower you with grace. I will never turn my back to you, but you will see my face. On your journey home, when I see you I will run..... Even if, Even if, My child, even if just come.

You are who you are for a reason. You are part of an intricate plan. You are a precious and perfect unique design, Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you look for a reason. Our God made no mistake. He knit you together within the womb, You are just what he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose, And no matter how you may feel, They were custom-designed with God;s plan in mind, And they bear the Master's seal.
No, that trauma you faced was not easy. And God wept that it hurt you so; But it was allowed to shape your heart So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason, You have been formed by the Master's rod. You are who you are, beloved, Because there is a God!
