Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Many things have been running through my mind lately,
with many new problems emerging in my life.
I have been feeling rather down on certain occasions,
and actually cried twice in 1 week or so.
Perhaps I'm secretly emotional,
which I refuse to accept,
because I'm supposed, and want, to be tough.
But it's really hard, at times, to be strong,
and go against the current.
Things don't always go the way we want them to,
but I genuinely believe that God has a higher purpose I don't understand.
I realize that in such moments,
I become more disappointed with the people involved than not having my way.
Perhaps I should not judge others,
but it really pains me to see the sacrificial of a potential Christian,
simply because people have different priorities in life.
It made me feel real lousy that day,
because I was unable to do the simple task I could possibly do.
It is indeed not easy to become a leader,
because you have to be capable in order to earn the respect of others,
and it is a learning process rather than merely the transmission of knowledge.
Sometimes, I just hope that we could all listen and observe more,
instead of assuming and just spouting anything that comes to our mind.
The Lord is my fortress and rock,
and I really want to thank you Lord for being there at the lowest points of my life.
and actually, this one girl, who has seen my tears in such times.

I'm such a worrywart,
there's so many things on my mind,
it feels as if my brain is going to explode soon.
Upcoming interviews and university admissions are practically driving me to the wall.
It's so stressful to be burdened with high expectations from myself and people around me,
that it is so terrifying to think of failing.
Lord, I pray for you to pave my path and equipping me with the necessary.
Some of us church youths are going overseas for a trip in one of the coming weekends,
which is so rare and difficult to plan,
but now the problem is, it probably clashes with one of my interviews.
And while I definitely cannot miss the latter, I do not wish to forgo the former. :(
Lord, I pray for you to settle this problem, and let me have a way out.
This weekend, is Reinhard Bonnke's event at Indoor Stadium,
and I want to invite my workmates to attend it.
Though the group is small, I want to expand His territory,
because it is not often I get to meet new people outside my school.
Now the problem is, I may be the only girl going,
and I find it almost impossible that 2 guys would be willing to go with me
for a Christian talk when they are non-Christians.
I admit my faith is small.
If He is able to allow them to agree to go for it,
why not agree to go with just me.
It is not me who decides the result anyway,
the Lord is the one who can touch their hearts, and change them.
Lord, I pray for the capability to sow these seeds,
and let you do the rest.
I pray for other girls to go as well.
Lord, this weekend I want to make a difference.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Lord, I'm really really worried about tomorrow.
I'm afraid I won't be able to write well, or present myself well.
Actually, I am still unsure of what you want me to do,
in terms of my future career.
I just feel that since you have given me this academically-inclined talent,
I do not wish for it to go to waste.
Surely you have a purpose for me,
surely you have things you wish for me to accomplish,
Lord, I pray that you direct the way for me.
Tell me where to go, and what to do.
I feel as if I'm standing in the midst of a crossroad,
not knowing which path I should take,
having nothing, but just a tiny faith in you.
Lord, strengthen my heart,
provide me with the necessary skills,
and point me towards the correct path.
Wherever I may go, Lord, may I always glorify your name.
