God protects me from evil,

He is merciful to keep me by Him,

Guard me from going to the dark,

And equip me to live and speak His truth,

I thank God for His compassionate love.

***

O Lord, be merciful on me and my family,

For we cannot live a moment without Your grace and mercy.

So we wait for you to lift up the burden on our shoulders until You see it fits.

We look to You, we look to You.

Shine Your smile on us and we may live on.

Seeing is believing, the flesh says.

But believe in Me and see God’s glory, Jesus commands.

Yes. Jesus,  I trust You and long for seeing God’s glory.

***

O, Lord, You answer me in your word:

“I removed the burden from their shoulders,

Their hands were set free from the basket.

In your distress you called and I rescued you.” (Psalm 81:6-7)

Yes, Lord God, you have set me free.

So I crucify my pride in old flesh on the cross.

I submit every burden I try to pick up in pride to you.

You are in control of this universe and my life and my family’s lives.

Thank you for your great love to bear our burdens at each moment.

No condemnation. I am set free.

I lay down all my being on the altar.

Let the Holy Fire burn up anything not belong to God,

So my worries, complacency, self pity, pride, self-righteousness, guilt and shame are consumed,

Only the new self in Christ stands purified and shines.

Only the faith of pure gold and the works built with faith like precious stones last forever.

***

No bowing down to the earthly troubles like idols.

But remember Who lifted me up from that all.

And promises to fill me up with the Holy Spirit,

When I open wide my mouth in praying,

The only way I can be empowered to overcome.

You will satisfy me with the finest provision.

(Psalm 81:16)

***

My husband saw my face with glow of peace,

Asking if I had any good thing happened.

I know it’s nothing describable,

But only the burdens are removed,

Giving me relief.

Do what is right in your heart,

For God has given me a right heart.

God has created a pure heart and the spirit of integrity in me,

To do what is right,

Not do what is wrong.

It’s a simple life,

To live in freedom and self-control.

Not bear the burden of religious rituals anymore.

Wherever I go,

My body is the temple of the Lord,

My spirit receives the message of God,

My mind carries the desires for His good works.

What do you hope to get but cannot after making a lot of effort?

Jesus Christ is willing to heal me when He sees the time fitting.

It’s the only thing God of life can do:

Give me life and prosper my faith in Him.

Thank Jesus Christ for standing between me and the wrath of God.

Thank Jesus Christ for absorbing the evil attack in front of me.

So I am hidden, covered, shadowed without being knocked out.

Thank God for being a shelter for the oppressed.

Thank God for being my refuge in times of trouble.

Whatever I have received are all from God.

I come to the world, not to live in fear, but display God’s honor and glory,

To destroy the devil’s works in His power,

To draw the lost to turn back to Him.

Thank God for Jesus Christ’s righteousness,

So my hope may last to eternity.

(Psalm 9:9, Proverbs 11:7)

Don’t follow the religion to be modeled to a robot by rules,

But remember whom I am restored to and present my genuine self to God and the world.

Whenever God touches my heart to do things,

I shall feel joy and motivated,

Because His command comes with power.

When I feel hesitant or delayed,

I shall pause and pray until I am fully operated by faith in God,

Rather by my own understanding, which brings anxiety or lacking confidence in God’s provision or power,

But follow God’s Spirit, who can blow wind to thresh all my ungodly, impure chaff of the soul.

That’s the work only God can do and continue to do in me,

Due to His faithfulness to grow me and His compassion to heal and save me.

By coming to God in prayer and worship in truth,

the chaff is blown away,

the dredge is removed after the gold is purified by fire,

Then the essence of grain will be kept for food.

The grain cannot separate its chaff by its own effort.

Only by God’s wind of the Holy Spirit is able,

If we humble selves to come to his courtyard and let Him do it!

Thank God for teaching me to die to the world,

The world I live is upside down from my view:

The worldly concern is replaced by God’s peace and provision.

The wisdom I need to live my life in godliness is taught by Him, not by my own intelligence,

So I pray without ceasing, lean on Him to guide me.

I shall let go any of earthly worries as soon as I cast them off to Jesus Christ.

So that I will not be bonded or hindered,

But overcome the flesh and act upon God’s promises to win!

I lost my head band right after I ask God to teach me to die to the world.

Then, I pray to God and let go of any burden to hinder me from moving toward His divine goal for me!

Jesus is born of the Holy Spirit.

His Spirit, soul and body belongs to God, holy without sinful nature.

So am I born of God,

My spirit is holy as His.

My soul has been transformed by the truth of His Spirit and truth,

My body is disciplined through my will surrendering to God.

I put Jesus Christ before me, only acknowledge Him as my Lord.

God is faithful to grow me.

He will not allow any temptation for training purposes to be more than I can bear.

And He will show me a way out of the trial but into His promises,

So that I can endure and be hopeful always.

(1 Corinthians 10:13)

Do what you think is right,

Don’t do what you know it’s wrong.

It’s the integrity of Christ.

However, when you cannot do what is right,

Come to ask God for help,

To be disciplined, not spoiled.

To be empowered by God,

To be instructed by Jesus Christ,

To be guided by the Holy Spirit.

God is greater in me than the one in the world.

He made me an overcomer.

Blessed is me who believes in the fulfillment of God’s word spoken to me.

這相信的女子是有福的，因為主對她所說的話都要應驗。(Luke 1:45)

主によって語られたことは必ず実現すると信じた人は、幸いです。

Not befriended with the world,

Nor respond to ungodly troubles,

But be eager to listen to voice above,

So I may follow His perfect, good and pleasing will.

O, God, teach me to die to the world,

And live up to your honor, glory and righteousness.

May my faith channel my weakness to Your strength of abundance.

May my eyes see through the prism of Your compassion of love and power in reign.

All I have are given from above,

I shall take root in Your heavenly truth,

Stretch my leaves into the earthly space,

Shadow the heat of lies,

And give comfort like food to the hungry mind.

(Romans 12:2)

I remember His love,

In all the tears of struggle,

Warms my heart like the heater in winter.

I recall His voice,

In unexpected time,

Encourages my soul like water in the desert.

I meditate His word,

In sleepless nights of helplessness,

Inspires me like light shining into the dark.

I remember His miracles in His mighty deeds,

Empowers me to keep going like a breeze in the scorching heat.

God leads me by the hand of Jesus Christ.

God speaks to me by the word of the Son of man.

(Psalm 77)

“Listening means responding to what you hear.”

May God give me listening ears,

With a teachable heart so that I listen to His commands,

And obey through following them, practicing on them.

His promises shall come with His peace into my life.

No matter how correct the opinions from me or others sound like,

I choose to live in untroubled peace,

Through listening to God’s voice only.

(Proverbs 1:33)
