Dear heavenly Father,
After finish reading this book, my heart.. just can't contain the many things that you have taught me in the pages. Every page pointing me to the gospel and convicting of my weakness, lacking, my nature of being a "dust", my pride, stubborness, yet when I am "robbed" off from my "self-esteem" and "self-confidence", you have clothed me in your grace, your love and your mercy which is so much more glorious and beautiful than my own clothings of sin. Thank You for pointing to me.. my pride of not wanting to receive and accept your grace and mercy and wanting to do it my own way. I want to taste learn see the sweetness of the Cross all in your timing and when you have prepared me. I know the weight of this and I am scared. But rather from running away, I want to run towards your embrace. I have been doing a lot of running, avoiding, hiding.. teach me to receive your grace and mercy and extend that to others.. Surrendering is another thing.. There is so much that I am lacking but you so graciously pour out your love for me even when I don't deserve it. Thank you. Help me to live a life that does not trample on your grace and your mercy but to respond in the way you want me to. To love you and to love others because you have first loved me. I have been distracted by so many things and I know I will be in the future too. Money, friends, approval from people, love, idleness, comfort and many more.. but I pray o Lord, that you would bring me back to you. every single time. Thank You for your promise that I can rest upon and place my assurance upon. Protect and guard my heart and desire for you, to want to follow you and to love You. I pray that for all my brothers and sisters in Christ too, that you would guard our hearts till the very last day. And for my unsaved fanily and friends and those out there who have not yet known you, I pray that their hearts be transformed and their lives be touched by You. I pray for their salvation. Fill their hearts with your loving kindness and overflowing gratitude towards your work on the cross. I pray that as we go to India, our unity and love as a team and towards others will be shown and displayed that others can see You through our interactions. As You have told us, without You we are nothing. So I pray, may we abide in You always when we are over there. Gives us extra grace and mercy that we may extend that to our fellow brothers and sisters. May we love You first and love each other by pointing each other towards You. We desperately need You Lord. Thank You for You.
