But if You say so...

I love going to church on Sunday mornings, no matter how early I hafta wake up or how many transfers I hafta take in order to get to church. Today's message (based on Luke 5:1 - 10) got to me. Have you struggled and pursued endlessly after success, only to end up feeling frustrated and unfulfilled? That's a feeling that I can totally relate to. So today, the message is all about trusting in God, being obedient and enjoy the peace that He brings.

Dear God,
I've been pursuing so many things to achieve success, recognition and all that stuff but I've never felt any happier sometimes. Sometimes it's a temporal high, sometimes it... just leaves me feeling hollow inside. Many a time I've heard a tiny voice telling me to do something, and I chose to brush it off or ignore it. Running away always seems to be the easier option. But how can anyone outrun or hide from You?

I just want to learn to recognise Your voice when I hear it, and respond in the right manner. I know there will always be contentment and peace whenever I follow Your word. Let me keep up the "But if You say so" mentality and trust You with all my heart whenever I face tough situations that requires me to have uttermost faith in You.

So many times I want things to happen in my timing and I get all upset when it doesn't. Things take time and I understand that Your timing is the right timing. I'll be faithful, lean in on You and learn to operate in Your timing. I pray that I'm not limiting You, and I'm ready to receive all the blessings You have for me because it's all about I'm able to contain in my life as opposed to what You can bring into my life.

God, I thank You for touching my life the way no one else had done so and I want to commit my life to You, because there is no greater joy than that.
