Prayed for Faith...

I prayed for faith at the end of work today as worries started to flood my mind...its not good i know...really..but Somehow my heart was aching, due to worry...haiz...i really pray to lift my worries to you Lord...
I prayed, held the Bible in hand, lifted my heart up to God and asked Him to help me with this emotion i am feeling...I prayed for FAITH...I need it...

I was guided to Jude...And as i read, it's about having FAITH in God!!!
Doesnt this show the Power that God has over us and our circumstances?
We leave it in the hands of the Lord, and just pray that He guides us in our paths and walk, following His Light every step of the way...

'The Sin and Doom of Godless Men'. & ' A Call to Persevere'.

And to further deepn my faith or at least signs were "telling" me to have faith in these times of struggles...
What happened was...A real life story happened to my dad a a couple of days ago on his deep sea fishing trip...It was in the middle of the night, pitch darkness at sea....
The boat engine broke down in the middle of the ocean(A blessing it was actually), cos when they checked the engine, the also then FOUND OUT that propeller was about to drop off in to the ocean!! Usually there's this extra energy box somewhere, but it WAS ALSO DOWN!! It also didnt help when the radio was not working either! So weird isnt it? And besides all the mechanical breakdowns, NO ONE had big torch lights, or even mechanical box equipments on board to fix it!! My dad found a small torch light in his box...BUT....

Praise the Lord that my Dad & uncle Roy were there as mechanics and electricians...
They worked on it...Praise the Lord again that my dad knew about fixing the propeller, and he had his pliers (that could cut) and swiss army knife which had a screw driver attached, and he fixed it...The radio was also fixed, my dad was explaining what wires he and my uncle had to cut and mend wires to get the frequency to work and all..it took them about 30mins to an hour...
All my dad did was took out his Blessed rosery and pray! The cross somehow was detached! but he kept the faith and prayed! The few boat men also said muslim prayers to God... he recalled the past fishing trips, the waves were stormy and were as high as TWO metres in height!! can you imagine!! BUT somehow that night while they were waiting patiently and quietly (I believe all were praying in their hearts that night, no matter what race or religion they had..It was God they were all praying to..*smiles*) in the middle of the deep ocean, the waves were CALM! my dad described the clamness of the surface of the water....but the under currents under were strong, cos he said a 1kg weight was dragged in by the current as they put their baits out to fish, but the surface was CALM...THIS shows what the power of Faith in God can do in times of distress...that He WILL be there when we call on Him for help and His mercy! "When 2 or 3 pray in MY name" He is always there....
I thanked God for looking our for my father and friends on board...
What also happened back home was, usually things would be fine...but for some reason, my mom felt this urge to pray for my dad that night cos she felt the need to...She asked my brother to pray at the alter for his safety too...

A miracle and blessing in disguise....
This story was a sign to deepen my faith or to tell me that the power of 'Faith' can work wonders...
My mom shared a story about a pastor who was helping out during the Tsunami some years back, that, as the boats of orphans, surviviors and volunteers drove out to sea to the other side to be saved, the tsunamis were raging, and the pastor, commanded the tsunami to calm! I cant remeber what were his words, but the tsunami calmed for the orphans and Pastor to pass thru the other side to be saved... Amazing isnt it? well, i know all these happen for a reason....

As i reflect everyday....i come to see and piece things together and see the big picture (to a certain extent) of why things are happening to me...

I know God has "put" these current obstacles (Tests & Trials) in front of me to overcome for my good, that i cannot see today...I also know and see Mr. S.A Tan also has a part in this to tempt and sway me away from God or rip me of my faith without my knowledge too...

I have relfected and seen how the "Mr". has schemed in my (and the people around me) Life's choices unknowingly, causing much disruption, frustration, anger and pain (notice all are negative..who gives and feeds on freely on negativity or bad air?? who else? and these are caused with little or no knowledge of ours) in my past month only...i didnt see it as i was goin thru it...and i thought it was alright...(thats how 'it' "plays" with us and our conscience and conscious mind) I pray for Faith that i see through these tests and trials...

As I reflect well over the weeks and months and how things 'fall' into place...i see and understand God's plan for me (there's still some left unanswered..but i will be patient and perservere)..with close guidance from His Love for me and those around me... i understand why things are the way they are now...it may seem far fetched for some to come to this understanding, i just want to thank God cos im really blessed in this life i must say for God IS REAL and working in my Life!! and Im here to share (with God given gifts) His unconditional love with those around me in my life...

I just pray for strength, courage and wisdom with patience, and faith to guide me and my loved ones through this obstacles and trials in life....Never giving up but perservering...
As it is mentioned in the Bible today on 'Jude'....humble my heart so that i may love even greater...Oh Thank you Lord...thank you....i Love you...
