We Glorify Your Name

Lord, You have made us for Your glory. You have made us to glorify Your name. You have made us to declare Your majesty.  

Awake harp and lyre. Let the mountains sing. Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the rocks cry out to our maker.  

Be exalted. Be magnified. Be high and lifted up. Let everything that has breath praise Your holy name. Let every mouth declare that You are Lord. Let every knee bow in holy reverence. We worship You almighty God. 

Empower Us

The life and light of Christ burst through the broken in spirit.  Seek the Lord and He shall be found.  We find the Lord through the fire.  We find the Lord through the furnace.  We find the Lord in the wilderness.  Speak Lord!  Speak strength and hope into our hearts.  Raise us up to declare the wonder of Your great love.  Empower us to live the dream You have birthed within us.  Move mightily in and through our broken lives.

Hope Abounds

We hope in You all day long.  We rest in Your love all day long.  We bask in Your presence all day long.  You are the light of life.  You are our only source.  We fear no sudden disaster because Your spirit is with us.  

You cover us with Your abiding presence.  You shield us from seen and unseen danger.  At night, when we lay on heads to rest, there Your sure presence abides with us.  We find rest in our maker.  We live because You sustain us with Your breath and life.

We Call on You

2020 is a very significant year for all of us.  Covid 19 brought the world to a standstill.  The escalating infection and death toll are the main stay of most countries.

God is calling us to Himself.  He is drawing us to the holy of holies.  He is beckoning us to bow at His feet.  Fear has paralyzed many.  Today,  the Lord calls out to His beloved.  He gives peace, hope and consolation.  He alone can calm our raging nerves.  He alone brings hope and healing in the face of this dark days and hours.  The Lord comes to rescue and deliver us.  He comes with His power and might.

Let us bow humbly before almighty God.  Let us come and intercede and pray for deliverance.  Let us seek the face of God.  Let us love and behold our risen Lord. 

Enough

Just to taste Your goodness
Is enough
Just to feel Your tender mercies
Is enough
Just to hear Your voice
Is enough
Just to touch the helm of Your garment
Is enough

Just to see Your hand of love
Is enough
Just to know You
Is enough
We call on You
We cry out to You
We rest in Your love
Just to know You
Is enough

Reign in Us

Lord, burn Your deep desire in us.  Consume our broken lives.  Captivate our hearts and set us free to worship You.  Move mightily in us. 

We are hungry for a move of God.  We are thirsty for Your living water.  

Break us, mould us and refine us.  Do a deep and a lasting work in us.  

Reign in Your power.  Reign in Your glory.  Reign in Your might.  

We offer our lives at Your altar.  Do whatever You desire.  We live in Your promises.  We live by Your breath.  We live by Your sustaining power.

New Growth

Recently,  I planted some peppermint seeds.  A few days later,  baby shoots appeared.  Without the soil, sun and water, this will be next to impossible.

God nurtures and nourishes us with His word and presence.  Growth takes place when we go through challenges and emerge from them through God's divine intervention.  God grows our faith and lead us to trust Him increasingly.  We can never assume that we have reached the pinnacle.  We continue to grow in the Lord daily.  New challenges will come.  God see our authenticity.  He wants our total obedience.  He leads us to uncharted territory to show us His might and glory.  Like these little peppermint shoots, we depend on Him and desperately need His hand of love and covering.  We thrive and persevere to see the image of Christ formed in us.

Teach Us Your Ways

Teach us Your ways
And we will walk in Your ways

Draw us by Your spirit
And we will run after You

Reveal Your heart to us
And we will obey Your word

Cleanse us from within
Rebuild our broken lives
Renew our love

Come and abide in us
Come like a mighty river
Come like a strong wind

We need the touch of Your spirit
We need You, Lord

The Poor in Spirit

Lord, flood our hearts with Your mercy and grace this day.  The poor in spirit shall inherit the earth.  The poor in spirit shall overcome.  The poor in spirit would come before You on bended knees.  Work Your purposes in us.  We are people of hope.  We are people of resurrection power.  We are a people completely surrendered to You.  The poor in spirit will see Your glory.  The poor in spirit will taste Your goodness.  The poor in spirit shall do great exploits for Your glory.

Faithful God

Today marks the 21st year of our holy matrimony.  God has blessed me with a loving husband.  His support and encouragement brings out a better me.  His love and sacrifice all these years speak of his deep commitment towards me.  His patient love and care flow from his heart.  I love you, Monte!

God has blessed us beyond our wildest imagination.  He has led through an amazing journey to know the depth of His love.  He opens our eyes to see a glimpse of His glory.  We put our complete trust in our maker.  He holds us by the hand and leads us to uncharted territory.  We rest in His love each day.  We cannot live without the Lord.  We are eternally grateful for His faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Merciful Lord

You give us courage and strength to face each new day.  We do not deserve anything but You pour Your grace and mercy on us unceasingly.  You lavish Your love on us extravagantly.  You fill our hearts with Your living hope.  Your abiding presence flood our hearts like a mighty wave.  Merciful Lord!  Wash us with Your word.  Cleanse us with Your fire.  Consume our broken lives.  Set us apart for You.  We long for Your courts.  We cannot live without You.

Faithful God

Sometime in mid 2018, I was trying to get new reading glasses.  The staff at the optical shop checked my eyes and told me that I had glaucoma.  He advised me to seek medical help as soon as possible. 

Subsequently, I went to the polyclinic and was then referred  to the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC).  

On 27 July 2018, I saw the eye specialist at SNEC.  I was examined by the ophthalmologist and laser IRIDOTOMY was done on the same day. I would have had acute angle closure glaucoma if I did nothing.  

I have completely recovered since then. 
God has protected me.  Acute angle closure glaucoma can be potentially dangerous.  It can lead to blindness if it is left unattended. 

Each day we live to see a sign of His goodness.  He watches over us lovingly.  He protects us from seen and unseen danger.  

We are safe and secure in Him.  We rest in His love.  We find hope, solace and strength in our faithful God.

We Glorify Your Name

We were once hopeless, aimless and rootless.  You entered into our broken lives and breathed life into our lifeless bodies.  We live with a destiny and purpose built by Your love.  You are the reason why we rise each day.  You are the reason why life is beautiful.  You are reason why we keep on going.  Eternal God, everlasting Father, the great I am.  We bow, we acknowledge Your lordship.  We declare Your greatness and majesty with every breath we have.  Knowing that You alone sustain us moment by moment, we are eternally grateful.  Our hearts swell in Your mighty presence.  You have made us to glorify Your name.  You have made to worship You.  You have made a people of praise and power.

His Divine Intervention

Each day, God sustains us by the power of His Spirit.  We lean not on our own wisdom.  We lean not on our own understanding.  We trust You alone.  As we make decisions and stand at crossroads.  The Lord directs us to His way and purpose.  We open our hearts to God's full control.  In our crises and dire circumstances, the peace of God reigns.  Nothing can separate us from the love of God.  Waiting and resting in His love open the door for God to move upon our lives. His divine intervention shows His mercy and grace.

You are Lord

Lord, You carry the weight of the world on Your shoulders. You fed the children of Israel with manna in the desert. You open blind eyes. You raised the dead. There is absolutely nothing You cannot do. 

You flood our hearts with peace and hope in the midst of the raging sea. You speak words of life into our hearts in moments of utter despair and desolation. 

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised. We bow down and adore. We declare Your majesty. We proclaim You are Lord. 

Empower Us

You poured in the oil and the wine.  You cleansed our wounds and nursed us back to health.  We were drowning in our sorrow and You lift us up.  We were deep in our despair and You gave us hope to live again.  We were spiraling into chaos and You stepped in to bring peace and order.  Lord, we belong to You.  We thank You for Your divine love.  We thank You for Your divine intervention.  We thank You for Your presence in our lives.  Touch and renew us today.  We lay our lives on Your altar.  Do a deep and a lasting work in our lives.  Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on us.  Empower us to live for You.

Flood our hearts with peace
As we worship You
Flood our hearts with Your presence
As we worship You
Life everlasting
Joy overflowing
Hope abounding
As we worship You
Let Your power fall
Let Your glory fall
Let Your love fall

This glorious morning is a gift from You. We breathe in Your life. We breathe in Your mercy. We breathe in Your love. Seek You and You will be found. Seeking You just to love You. Seeking You just to worship You. Seeking You just to adore You. Deep calls to deep. Draw us by Your spirit and we will pursue You to the ends of the earth.

We Need You Desperately

We are desperate for Your Spirit.  Pour Your grace and mercy on us.  Draw us by the power of Your Spirit.  Manifest Your glory.  Show us Your power.  Grant us wisdom and insight.  Move mightily upon our hearts.  We give You complete control.  We acknowledge Your lordship.  We bow in humble adoration.  We need You.  We need You desperately.
