Come to Us

Come into our broken lives
Come into our shattered dreams
Come into our midst
Come into our pain
Come into our sorrow
To heal
To restore
To inspire
To build
To create
To empower
For You are all we ever needed
You are our source
You are our only hope
You are supreme
You are sovereign
You are eternal God

Your Mercy and Grace

Lord, we do not know what tomorrow holds but we know You have complete control over us. When the journey gets more challenging, we rest in Your quiet love. We draw strength from You. We cry out for Your mercy and grace. You are God almighty, ever faithful and true. We cannot live without You. We bow in humble submission to You. Let Your name be magnified in all the earth. We worship and adore You. We give You the highest praise.

Five Loaves and Two Fishes

This morning, Monte is invited to preach at His Sanctuary.  We are thankful for every ministry opportunity.  God grants us His mercy and grace to serve Him in season and out of season.  We offer our five loaves and two fishes to the Lord.  We call out to the Lord to do what we are incapable to do.  As we posture our hearts to serve God and His people, the Lord empowers us.  He graces us with His strength to do the work of the ministry.  God's faithfulness reaches to the sky and His tender mercies are new every morning.

The Hand of God

God pours His mercy and grace on us daily. We need the Lord every moment of every day. We need Him like fish needs water.

God brings us renewed hope. His love never fails. All we need is the hand of God on us. His loving hands that guide, protect and embrace us in the darkest hour. 

Touch our lives and bless our hearts. Draw us by Your Spirit, Lord. 

We posture our hearts to seek You. We live to taste Your goodness. We live to see a sign of Your love. Your hand is upon our broken lives.

The Sustaining Power of God

A few days ago, Monte and I ran into a dear sister in the Lord, Sis A. She is in her seventies. We sat down with her and her son at the coffee shop in Tampines.
She is a caregiver to two family members. She shared that in the earlier days, she was at a loss and struggled to make sense of what she was going through. God came through for her and continues to help her to face the difficulties and challenges.
We prayed together. Monte and I were deeply encouraged by what the Lord is doing in Sis A's life. Though she continues to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of caregiving, what makes the difference is the sustaining power and grace of God. Our God who empowers us in our powerlessness. He is our helper and refuge.

Fellow Sojourners

Life can be tough at some junctures. Pressure and stress are part and parcel of life. Things fall apart, relationships sour.  We battle with unanswered questions and the great unknown.  

The word of God tells us that in life we will face tough times. 

Some of us are hurting from betrayal. Some have lost loved ones to diseases and accidents.  Some have faced tragedies and destruction.

We are fellow sojourners; we are not alone.  We can encourage one another.  We can lift each other up. 

The hand of God is never too short to reach us. He inclines His ears to hear our heart cries. 

He promised help and deliverance. As we call on the name of Jesus, the Lord reaches out to us in His mercy and grace. 

In Him, we find solace and strength. He is our hiding place; He is our high tower; He is our only hope. 

We call to mind the faithfulness of God this day. His faithfulness reaches to the sky. There is nothing our God cannot do. He wants our complete trust. We cling to Him. We find eternal hope in God.

Matchless

You are infinite
We are finite
You are limitless
We are limited
You are all powerful
We are powerless
Lord, we bow
We fall at Your feet
We worship You
The God of the universe
You are boundless
Matchless
Invincible
Your splendour and glory
Fill the earth
And Your presence
Floods our hearts
You are strong
We are weak
