My Lord is wonderful! (Prayer attached)
Friday, November 11, 2005
Dear all
Yes, I missed another RCIA lesson. =( Though I would very much prefer to be in the fellowship of my bro & sis-in-christ, I need to stay behind to help my other colleagues who are helping me with the reporting. (I have finished my part of the report. Now waiting for my colleagues to feed me with the additional information.)
The topic covered today is " Am I Ready? What am I willing to do? The meaning of the cross" Bet it will be another enlightening/mind opening lesson. Wonder if Father T will have any remedial class for me on all the lessons that I had missed out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was actually dreading coming to work today. There is so much to be done but it is beyond my own power to complete it. Thank you Lord for sending Your helpers to me. Things worked out in His own way. I was able to concentrate on what needs to be done and all those not-so-urgent tasks were taken care of because of His grace.
Thank you God for using Francis to send an email to me. It's a prayer and upon reading it, I felt a sense of calmness. The prayer is attached below.
Enjoy reading it. God Bless!!!

Hi Bro n Sis,
Here's a simple, yet powerful prayer for you and your family members, making Christ the centre of your life.
Please take a moment to relax your mind and humble your heart to focus on Christ. Allow God to be the only person on your mind while you read this prayer.
If we can take the time to read long jokes, stories, etc., we should give the same respect to this prayer. Friends, who pray together, stay together.
Dear Lord, I thank you for this day.
I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning.
I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God.
You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness.
Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You.
Please broaden my mind that I can accept all things.
Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. *AMEN* Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God.
And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example -- to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits.
I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households.I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.
I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly.
This is my prayer. In Jesus' Name, Amen. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Skips and dances round*

I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart.
Continue to use me to do Your will.
Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others.
Keep me strong that I may help the weak.
Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others.
I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way.
I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood.
I pray for those who don't know You intimately.
I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe.
I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households.I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met.
