Lord, Allow Me to Count on You




Lord when I'm tired, allow me to rest in your shoulder.  The world is exhausting. Demanding. It requires a lot of work. But I will be assured knowing I can rest on you. 


Lord if I fail, allow me to see the purpose and your plans for me. I am aware that things will not always go as planned, that my path will be fraught with setbacks and obstacles, and that I will not always know where to go. But I'll be relieve knowing the plans you have for my life are far better than mine. 


Lord if I'm broken, allow me to heal in your arms. I know that part of living is hurting. One of these days, my heart might be broken that it will hurt so bad and I no longer want to live. Allow me to outgrow heartache. Help me to learn the best lessons because of pain. In my season of brokenness, allow me to hope, to gain strength and to hold tight in your truth. Mold me like Leah who found true love in You.


Lord if I'm lost, guide me through your words. I understand that we are not supposed to have all the answers, or the entirety of our existences figured out, but when things no longer make sense, when I don't know which direction to go, allow me to gain wisdom in your words.  For your ways are higher than mine and your plans are greater than mine, and nothing is impossible with you. 


Lord, if everyone has turn their backs on me, allow me to run to you. People come and go. Some people will leave us, will disappoint us, will break us. In these difficult times, aid me to be like Nehemiah, to come to you for wisdom, protection, strength and provision. Help me remember my worth, my identity, that I am Your child. Help me to live today in a way that honors Your holy name.


Lord if I don't know what to do, remind me of the things you have done for me. Sometimes, like Sarah I struggle to trust Your plan because You can do things beyond human understanding. Enlighten me to never lean on my own reason but to trust You with all my heart.  


Lord if I ever doubt, strengthen my faith. I know that just like Martha and Mary, I will have a hard time seeing Your plans in the midst of the most difficult times of my life. But just like them, allow me to deepen my faith through hardship. Your ways are not my ways. I will learn to trust on Your goodness as I let go of the need to know why.


Lord, this life will not be easy. But I will continue living knowing that I will never be alone in this journey. I will hold onto your promise. I will hold onto the truth that you died because of the love you have for me. Allow me to count on you every second. Every minute. Everyday.

Don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart

Image
Don’t tell my dad that the daughter he raised to be strong sometimes feels like she’s falling apart. He always told me to stand tall, to face the world with courage, but there are moments when the weight of everything feels too heavy to bear. I’ve learned to smile through the pain, to keep going even when it feels like the ground is crumbling beneath me. But in the quiet of the night, when no one is watching, I let the tears fall. Please, don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart. Don’t tell my dad that the confidence he sees in me is sometimes just a mask. I’ve always wanted to make him proud, to show him that I could handle anything life throws my way. But inside, there’s a little girl who still feels scared, who still questions if she’s good enough. I push those feelings down, trying to live up to the image he has of me, but some days, it’s harder than others. Please, don’t tell my dad; it would break his heart. Don’t tell my dad that the dreams I’ve been chasing aren’t alwa...

She Says She's Not Beautiful

She says she's not beautiful, but she never saw herself smiling when she does the things she love. The way her lips form a grin, the genuine joy in her laughter, the flicker in her eyes when she's lost in her world of creativity. She says she's not beautiful, but she never witnessed the sparkle in her eyes when she talks about her passions and dreams, the way how her face lights up when she talks about her favorites. She says she's not beautiful, but she doesn’t see herself giggle when she plays with her dogs. The way her cheeks glow when she takes care of them, and the way her face brightens up when she speaks how they made her day. Oh, that image is one of my most favorite, favorite views in the world. She says she's not beautiful, but she overlooks the warmth in her voice when she comforts a friend or shares laughter with loved ones. She says she's not beautiful, but she never saw how she stands, the way she presents herself, how she walks and spe...

Praying to have you but not now, not yet.

Praying to have you but not now, not yet. Our hearts are aligned, beating to the same rhythm of hope and love, but the timing is not in our favor. We find ourselves in a season where our dreams demand our full attention, where the path we walk requires us to focus on building a future that can sustain the love we cherish. I long for the day when we can finally be together, but right now, our dreams must take precedence, shaping the people we are destined to become. Praying to have you but not now, not yet . Life is a whirlwind of responsibilities and ambitions, and we are caught in its storm. There are so many things we are both striving to achieve, so many goals that need our energy and dedication. We are on parallel journeys, each one filled with challenges and triumphs that will one day bring us closer. But today, we must continue to walk our separate paths, knowing that the time will come when our roads will merge into one. Praying to have you but not now, not yet . I am stil...
