You are the One

I could break my head/lose sleep worrying over things but at the end of it all, I feel like a fool, cause I can’t control things anyway. Whatever happens will happen. And whatever happens, is passed by God. Whatever happens will not be something you simply cannot deal with. Jugal said it best at our Leaver’s Weekend in Yr13. “God’s not going to send you to the rain forest to preach to the crocodiles or something.” And whatever happens, happens for the good of those who love God and are fitting into His plans. (Romans 8:28)

There were a few things I was losing sleep over this past week until I came to point of surrendering. And my prayer went something like this, “I am a fool. You are God. You can do everything.”

And sure enough, I am sleeping again.

“When I fall, when I fall,
I know where I’ll be landing…
When I fall, when I fall,
You will still be standing…”
-- Rachel Lampa, When I fall

Two lessons learnt this past week.
1. Prayer TRULY works. No matter how big or small the problem is.
2. Don’t worry about ANYTHING.
Matthew 6:33-34 “Do not be anxious about anything. But in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”

Church was good today. (If interested, check out notes here). Sharan came along which was a bonus point. I’m glad you came!

Youth service was also good fun, as always. We discussed all sorts of things and played some games. And there was chicken for lunch! :D
