Restore Us


You restore our barren ground.

You rebuild our broken dreams.

You revive our broken spirit.

God of hope.
God of newness.
God of new beginnings.

Grant us new strength.
Revive our  hope.

Lord, pour Your spirit on us. Work through our broken lives.
 
Restore, empower and strengthen us. We conquer every mountain for Your glory and honour.

The Lord Watches over our Loved Ones

My mum who is in her 70's related to me that on several occasions she almost fell and somehow she was able to break the fall.  I believe that the Lord has protected and covered my mum in these instances. 

Each day, I cover my mum and my dad-in-law in prayer.  I pray that God will keep them safe. I pray for God to watch over them.  I pray that God will give them good memories and keep them from depression.  I pray for God to be merciful to them.

I believe in the power of God's presence.  I believe God watches over our loved ones.  He protects and covers them when we pray.  Prayer knows no distance, when we pray in faith believing, God works wonders. 

I am thankful that my mum allows me to pray with her though she is not a Christian.  I continue to pray that she will come to the Lord soon.

God of Mercy and Grace

Monte and I spend countless evenings laying on the beach at East Coast Park.  As we gaze into the sky, all we see is His awesomeness and greatness.  We cherish the times we spend praying by the open sea.  We see His grace and strength.  Our hearts are filled with hope again.

God hears our heartcry.  He inclines His ears towards us.  Our God of mercy and grace brings relief and rest to us.  He graced us to face the challenges we face daily.  God is ever faithful and true.  We find rest in our maker.

Our 20th Wedding Anniversary

The best decision I have made in my lifetime was when I gave my heart to Jesus at thirteen. The next is marrying Monte. Today marks the 20th year of our marriage. God has blessed me with Monte. He fears and loves God deeply. He loves, supports, encourages, sacrifices and cares for me dearly. I love him with all of my heart. We cherish each day we share together. God has been good to us.
We taste His goodness, we feel His hand of love, we feel His tender mercies and His loving kindness. He has led us into paths that we have never imagined entering. As He leads us on, He shows us that there is absolutely nothing He cannot do. Our God who spoke this world into existence dwell in our hearts in all His wonder, glory and power. His faithfulness reaches to the sky. No one can compare with Him.
We have been to mountain tops and deep valleys. We have enjoyed plenty and lack. We have been through deep sorrow and unspeakable joy. Through every season of our life, God is with us. His presence gives us hope to persevere. He gives us purpose and meaning to live. He is all we ever need. We would have despaired if it had not been for His love, grace and strength.
We look forward to what God has in store for us. We marvel at His surpassing greatness and glory. We marvel at His grace and power. We worship and adore the ever living God. Our God of mercy, love and grace.
