Something is missing, God, I don’t know what it is.
Need to dig down deep. Seriously!
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. The wild animals honor me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the desert and streams in the wasteland, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people I formed for myself that they may proclaim...

Then Jesus said (Mark 7:20-23) What comes from your heart is what makes you unclean. Out of your heart come evil thoughts, vulgar deeds, stealing, murder, unfaithfulness in marriage, greed, meanness, deceit, indecency, envy, insults, pride, and foolishness. All of these come from your heart, and they are what make you unfit to worship God.
Our human nature never enables us to worship God. His...

– Proverbs 3:5-6
I have known my Father cares for me. He’s been good, He’s been good. Through it all He’s always there for me. God’s been good to me. Through the storm, through the night, come what may, everything will be alright. I have known my Father cares for me. He’s been good to me.

Got some time to seriously think about the future....

The way He answers my prayer
Recently asked God to teach me managing my money.
And now, I’m living just above the line. Plenty inevitable expenses incurred this month, trimming down my weekly income immediately. I even owed my saving some good dollars. After paying some bills and having food on the table, few left at the end keeps me from being flat broke. Dining out under $10 during the week is affordable, but more...
The Parable of the Persistent Widow
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’ “For some time he refused.

“You are my servant, I have chosen you …” –Isaiah 41:9
If we have received the grace of God in our hearts, its practical effect has been to make us God’s servants. We may be unfaithful servants (we certainly are unprofitable ones), but yet, blessed be his name, we are his servants, wearing his insignia, feeding at his table, and obeying his commands.

Jesus the Great High Priest
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to...

Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
