We Cannot Live Without You

Each day we are awakened by the warmth of Your love.  We are awakened by Your tender love.  We are awakened by Your merciful grace.  

You have filled our hearts with Your presence.  You lead us to gentle streams.  You direct our paths with patient love.  

We cannot live without You.  We are empty without You.  We are barren apart from You. 

We call to mind Your faithful love.  We call to mind Your undying hope.  We call to mind Your unlimited grace. 

We bow and we declare Your lordship over us.  Bowing before You, our great king.  Our glorious saviour.  Our faithful redeemer.  Come with us.  

Abide in us.  Pour Your spirit on Your broken vessels.  We worship You, almighty God.

Merciful Lord

In December 2019, Monte and I went through a crisis. This crisis struck us like a bolt of lightning. 

We experienced the presence of God powerfully. He saw us through one of the greatest storms in our lives.

My brother, Nicholas, blessed us with a staycation at D'resorts. We see the hand of God through this incident. There is no way that Nicholas would have known the madness we were facing. God orchestrates the circumstances of our lives to bless us. He looks into the minutest details.

In the room at D'resorts, we had a conducive environment to pray and seek the face of God. We are eternally grateful. God  encouraged and strengthened us as we sought His face.

God is in complete control. Nothing happens by chance. God blesses us daily. His love never fails. His hand is never to short to reach us.

We open our hearts to the move of Your Spirit, Lord. Pour Your Spirit on us. Drench us by the power of Your presence. Draw us by the power of Your Spirit and we will run after You.

God is with us in our deepest pain. The comforting and empowering presence of God is real. God is actively involved in our broken lives.

Praise Your Holy Name

Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing. Let everything that has breath praise Your holy name.  

All creation worship You. You are the ever living God. You are the great I am. You are our glorious king. Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad.  

Let all those that call on Your name find hope and strength. Let all those who bow at Your feet find release and solace.  

We celebrate Your love.  We celebrate Your grace. We celebrate You. Let everything that has breath praise Your holy name.

Our Hearts Swell

All glory is Yours

All power is Yours

Our hearts swell

Every time we think of You

Deep gratitude flows

You are the reason 

Of our existence

Our Eternal Hope

The wonder of Your gentle love

The wonder of Your loving embrace 

The wonder of Your incredible hope

How could we live without You

You poured in the oil and the wine

You nursed us in our pain

You calmed us with Your peace

The strength of Your spirit

The hope of glory

The rock of ages

You are our portion forever

You are our everlasting King

You are our eternal hope

We Surrender All

Lord, this glorious morning, we bow in humble adoration.  You have awaken us with Your love.  You are the reason for our existence.  We call on You.  We rest in Your love.  We are a lump of clay in Your hands.  Mould us and shape us.  We want to be pliable in Your loving hands.  We yield our lives to You.  We surrender all.  We abandon ourselves to Your work in and through us. We love for You first loved us.

Almighty God

God is infinite. We are finite.  He is limitless.  We are limited.  He is boundless.  We are bound by space and time.  He is ageless.  He is not bound by distance.  Great is our God.  Our limited vocabulary is inadequate to describe Him.  He is indescribable.  None of us can fully capture the attributes of God because He is beyond description.  

We lift up our eyes and we see the greatness and bigness of our supreme God.  Our mountains become molehills when we see through His eyes.  Faith is birthed by the power of God's spirit.  God endows us with supernatural faith to believe when everything tells us there is no hope.  

When God steps into the picture.  His wonder working power is released.  He holds us by the hand.  He leads us through the toughest terrain. He guides us through the severest storm.  There is no turning back.  God is our eternal refuge, He is our strength.  He is our only hope.

The Goodness Of God

In mid 2000, Monte and I spent about a year at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS). 

It was a faith testing period. We experienced the miraculous provision of God. The Lord revealed His mercy and grace to us powerfully.   

APTS is located at Baguio, Philippines. It is 5000 feet above sea level. The cold weather was refreshing. We loved the Baguio weather.   

One day, we opened our front door to find some bags of food. We were shocked and thankful at the same time. God watches over us.  

We were so amazed at God's providence.  We are thankful to this mystery person who had blessed us.  Up to today, we do not know who this person is. Thank you so much! 

Whenever we think of this incident, our hearts well up with deep gratitude and appreciation. God has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination. 

God sends us bread from heaven. He has not forgotten us. He is more than enough.  

Let faith arise, let the Lord move upon our hearts. He is in complete control. He loves us with His everlasting love. We can trust Him completely.  

There is no lack in Him.  He pours His mercy and grace on us as we posture our hearts to seek Him.  

Everlasting God, lead us to trust You completely.  You are faithful to Your promises.  We worship You and bow in holy reverence.  There is none like You.

Your Miraculous Power

Lord, open our eyes to the miraculous. Your miraculous healing.  Your miraculous provision.  Your miraculous intervention.  You are boundless. You are limitless.  You are timeless.  You know no distance.  You are not bound by space.  Work Your wonders in our broken lives.  Pour Your spirit on us.  Open our eyes to see the miraculous.  Open our ears to hear the miraculous.  Open our hearts to receive the miraculous. 

The Miracle of Life

God breathed His breath into us. It is a miracle to be alive. It is a miracle to breathe.  

God in His mercy is keeping us alive to taste His goodness. We know His loving kindness. We know His tender mercies. He spurs us on to live for Him.  

God sustains us through every season of our lives.  Each new day, He pours His mercy and grace on us.  He leads us by the hand to face the mountains.  With one baby step at a time, the journey is blissful.  

God fills us with faith to do the impossible. He enlarges our hearts to contain more of Him.  Nothing is too difficult for the Lord.  He raises the dead, He heals the sick and broken.  He opens blind eyes.  He performs mighty miracles for the glory of His name.

Lord, we cherish this life You have given us. The miracle of life. The miracle of hope.  The miracle of Your resurrection power. Infuse us with Your strength. Comfort us with Your love.  Empower us by Your Spirit.

More of You

God does His deepest work in us in our darkest hour.  Our desperation and unanswered questions may remain.  The uncontrollable situations may remain.  The harsh reality of deep pain and anguish may remain.  The Lord calls us to Himself.  He speaks life and strength into our mortal beings.  He assures us of His love and presence.  He guides and leads us with His still small voice.

When we emerge from the fiery furnace, what remains is the purity of Christ.  We are mindful that He rules and reigns in our lives.  The suffering and pain strip us to the barest state.  We lift up our eyes and see the power and love of God.  We see mercy and grace flowing out from the heart of God.  We taste the goodness of His loving kindness.  

Lord, do a deeper work in us.  We ask not for silver or gold.  We want more of You.  Nothing will quench our thirst.  Nothing can satisfy our hungry.  We want more of You

Fresh Manna

God gives us fresh manna daily. Nothing is from last night. Nothing is stale. He gives us new strength for each day. He gives us new hope for each day. He gives us new energy. He makes our faces shine. 

Each day beams with hope and optimism because God gives us the best. God graces us with His power and grace to face every challenge.  

His promises never fail. He carries us through it all. Our lives surge with unlimited faith. Like the eagle in the sky, we are made to soar and be carried by the wind.  

Lord, Your fresh and precious manna sustain us throughout the day. We are mindful that without You we cannot do anything.

With You, we can scale mountains and swim rivers. With You we will triumph and be victorious. With You, our feeble limbs are strengthened. 

Thank you for fresh manna, Lord. Fill us till we overflow. Move powerfully through our lives and ministries.

A Glimpse of His Glory

God has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination.  In His mercy, He leads us through fire and storms. In His grace, He leads us out from deep and dark despair.  In His goodness, He shows us light at the end of the tunnel.  

When we see a glimpse of His glory, our hearts burn with a deep longing for Him.  In our crises, we remain calm because He holds us in place.  He opens our eyes to see what He sees.  He opens our hearts to behold His glory.  He floods our hearts with peace that passes understanding.  

Our God is supreme.  Our God is more than able to deliver and save us.  Almighty God, we put our trust in You.

The Unseen Hand of God

I thank God for my elderly father-in-law and my mother.  Each day I cover them in prayer.  I pray that God will keep them safe.  I pray that the Lord will grant them joyful hearts and they will be free from depression.  I pray that God will heal their minds and help them to remember.  I pray for God's healing power to flow through their bodies. 

The unseen hand of God is on our loved ones.  He watches over them and care for them dearly.  How precious is Your abiding presence, Lord!
