Hi Lord!

 

I know I stumble more than I'm able to walk your path. Be patient with me. I'm sincere in my goal to be a better man every day. It's just that I'm so weak. The flesh makes it hard to stay focus. But I have to learn to control it more than it does me. Help me please. Take care of the persons I love. Also, those I love less. (Well, just take care of them less.) You have taken with you some of the persons that were closest to me. I was angry with you at first then I found out that You are able to take care of them more than I will ever do in my lifetime. I know it's wishful thinking that I may make the world a better place, but just the same, help me do my share. Let me enjoy some of the things that may not be so good. (This is a general statement so that I may be able to include things I haven't tried yet.) Let people realize how insignificant they are so they begin to be aware of the greatness of the things around them (made by You of course). Thank you for the gift of smile. Somehow, it shows in my face the vision of the thing called Love. It is so easy to hate and be angry with people and events that doesn't make my life easier. I wish it be as easy to love them also. I've taken a lot of your time by making this prayer longer. Others may need your time right now more than I do. If so, please hear them out but please understand that I've saved this on my laptop and will continually send this to you from time to time should you forget to answer them now. Thanks.

 

Best regards,

p.s.

my brother is in the hospital right now. it wouldn't hurt to visit him and kiss him for me (you could do this, don't you?) since i'm miles and miles away from him. and please if you can postpone taking him for a few more years, i would be grateful. thanks again.

you know what's in my heart... and i trust that all will be revealed in time. sometimes i struggle with the reality that you must know what you're doing... and oftentimes, my faith is shaken.

 

but thank you for always giving me strength, for renewing my hope in you and for showing me the wisdom in trusting you.

 

amen.

lord,

 

thanks for the good times and the bad times. i've learned that everything cant be roses all the time. the experiences makes us stronger and better. i guess no one will ever get use to the hard times. i just wish things wont turn from bad to worse. the dark side isnt good.... that i know.

lord,

 

maraming salamat sa lahat ng opportunities na binigay nyo sa akin. pasensya na kung mas madalas ako mag-complain kesa magpasalamat. tatlong bagay lang po ang hihingin ko sa iyo.

 

1. Wag umulan bukas. Mamatay na po ako sa lamig.

2. Sana po matuyo yung sneakers ko at jacket. Wala po ako gagamitin bukas.

3. Pabilisin nyo po yung araw para maging April na.

 

magpapakabait na po ako at di ko na po susungitan yung mga classmates ko. promise.

 

amen.

lord,

 

thank you for allowing me to survive the past few days. its been tough since the world turned upside down a few weeks ago. i live by the day now. i've learned from the mistake and can only wish we can make the adjustments. however, i also know that alot has happened already. maybe its too late for any reparations or maybe not. i just wanna follow your leading. i know things happen for a reason and i have to abide with that. i only wish things ended in a simpler manner.

even in the middle of this, i still wish the people involve good things. i hope that we all learned something from it and move on. amen.

Reflections of Easter.

An Easter Prayer

SPRING 2004

We thank you, O Lord, for Easter: for the ways it kindles our awareness

of who Jesus was and what he was about; of who you are and what you

are about; of who we are and what we are about. In Jesus your character

and our destiny were joined, and you promised that his work would not

end with his death. And You kept your promise. Not only did the apostles

take you at your word, they took your word to the world.

When we compare our faith with theirs, O God, we are humbled. They

were bold; we are timid. They turned the crucifixion into a model for

discipleship; we turn discipleship into an alternative to crucifixion. They

interpreted Easter as a summons to choose between divine and human

rule, we interpret Easter as a divine sanction on human rule. They

received the resurrection as a call for radical decision; we receive it as

proof of our ultimate security. They identified the suffering servant with

the risen Lord; we glorify the risen Lord at the expense of the suffering

servant.

Forgive us, O God, for separating Good Friday from Easter; for believing

that, because our Lord’s Easter lay behind us, no Golgotha lies

before us; for supposing that, because he risked everything, we need not

risk anything. Forgive us, above all, for thinking that, because we praise

him loudly, we need not follow him closely.

We acknowledge, O God, that our divorce of Easter from Good Friday

has done us no good and others much harm. Help us to proclaim the

oneness of the empty tomb and the cross, to narrow the gap between

our confession and our conduct. Empower us so to live that our works

will confirm the words of our Lord about true greatness. Send us into

the world, as you sent him into the world, to become the victorious servants

of all.

We dare to ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Dear Father,

 

Thank you that I wake up when I'm supposed to, so I'm able to get to work early and on time.

 

The time spent by the family at Manaoag was special. I felt Your presence ... hence, my tears. Many things have happened in my life and yet I was there before you.

 

I know these things happened the way they have because I need to learn, feel and grow.

 

May you always lead me towards the path you want me to walk on ... even though I may lose my way sometimes.

 

Take care of JDGH for us. I ask you to have your angels protect her from harm. We can only hope that Ate N mothers her adequately and appropriately. Only Easter Sunday wasnt a good example of that. Be with them.

lord god,

 

i lift your name on high.

 

thank you everything wonderful happening in my world. mere words could never express the joy i am feeling at this point.

 

pardon me for i seldom pray as well as for all my wrong doings. of course, i cannot list those here but you are all-knowing. so, i guess it makes no difference. you've seen each sin i committed even when i was in my mother's womb.

 

as you already know (even before we all did) cc and a few members of their clan passed away due to the fire. kindly, take care of their relatives left. also, i ask for speed recovery of the survivors of the unfortunate incident. help them as they go through the court hearings.

 

all these i pray in jesus' name.

 

amen.

about 5 hours ago the greatest man who has lived in my lifetime died.

 

in his greatness he was also a man. a man that moved me to tears and i was only looking at the tv screen. there was no drama. there was no literature. just a miracle of a man getting into a plane. that was years ago. and now, there is only numbness. and awe. and love.

 

what he said is true. life is more important than death. love is more important than hate. some people who suffer hold death as salvation. some people who have been hurt hold hate as justifiable. but what is death if not for one's love of life? what is hate if not for the gift of love?

 

in his death lives my faith.

 

amen.
