Set our Hearts on Fire

Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on us
Grant us a fresh impartation

Touch us
Renew us
Rebuild us

Open our eyes to see Your wonder
Open our ears to hear Your voice
Open our hearts to receive Your love

Pave our way
Direct our every step
Show us the way

Pour Your grace and mercy on us
Fill our hearts with joy and glory
Ignite our hearts
With Your burning desire

We cry
Pour Your Spirit of us
And set our hearts on fire
Abba Father
We Need You

Our Helper in Times of Need

On 9 June, 2012, I penned the following post which read: "We moved into our existing flat in Seng kang in August 2001. My friend contacted me to say that her sister had bought a new refrigerator and asked if we would like to take over the existing one. We were more than happy to do so. The refrigerator is still in good working condition up to today. It has not broken down once all these years. We are grateful for the Lord’s providence. We are also thankful to my friend and her sister.
As God’s children, we experience the hand of God in everyday living. He meets our needs. He protects us from seen and unseen dangers. He reaches the inner recesses of our hearts and makes us whole and strong. He nurtures, develops and empowers us. He gives us undying hope, faith, unspeakable joy and peace that passes understanding. In Him we live and move and have our being. We cannot live without the Lord and as we abandon ourselves to His loving embrace, our hearts leap with vibrant joy. We are thankful to be alive to taste His goodness and His grace."
One day in recent months, our refrigerator broke down. The freezer was fine, the middle area worked at 10-20% capacity. The lower section was totally not working. We continued to pray for the Lord to provide for this need. Four days ago, I was so shocked to discover that our whole refrigerator is back to proper working condition. Monte and I thanked the Lord for this amazing miracle. He meets our every need. He reminds us daily that He is more than enough for every need in our life. He teaches us to trust Him. Thank you, Lord!
