Heart Murmuring

It was over a month since I last came here and made an entry. It has been a hell of a month. So many overwhelming moment! So much stress! It is shocking for me to read what I wrote down last and to contrast it with what I have been feeling lately. Fear can be so powerful in grabbing the heart and squeezing out the energy, the fun, and the daring spirit. Dear LORD, help me battle against fear so that I can be strong and courageous. When I let fear grab my heart, it takes so much longer to get things done and it does not even turn out good. Dear LORD, help me find security in you and leave no space for fear to creep in.

Dear LORD, thank you for being patient with me. Thank you for your presence and your faithfulness, even when I have no strength to draw close to you. Thank you for your timing that you never miss a deadline. For you, there is no deadline. Dear LORD, here I am, yielding my life and all of me to you. Dear LORD, all I am is YOURS. Lead me and guide me. Shape me and equip me. Prepare me and provide for me. You are my GOD. The hope of my heart. Hold me close to you, Abba Father!
