The Lord is my Helper

As I was listening to Jars of Clay – Love song for a savior, it dawned upon me that I really miss going for service and being so spiritually connected to God.

However, I am thankful that I still managed to read His word regularly and pray to Him. Jesus has been at the tip of my tongue whenever I am going through some fix and I will pray and ask Him for help. I feel close to Him but I miss singing gospel songs and going to church.

God has been amazing in these past few days while I was in New York City. As I was sitting on the cab to the airport, I could not help marveling at how He had aided me.

As I admired the sunrise glory on New York 5 a.m. morning, I cannot thank Him enough for helping me recover things that I thought I would lost forever, helping me have an edifying speech to forge good relationships with my travel mates, comforting me when I am fearful and watching over me as I falls asleep. The Devil tried attacking me several times, planting evil thoughts into me, but God always put me in self-control so that I can pray and seek Him.

Previously, I had lost my favorite pendant (the one that looks like Anna Sui which I have been wearing since forever) on the Brooklyn Bridge and I asked God to help me look for it. In the end, I still could not find it but I decided to just let it go. However, just as I was feeling unhappy two days ago, God planted a little surprise into my crumpler bag. I was quite sure that it fell onto the streets as I was tugging it quite violently while adjusting my bag strap.

Only God can do such a miraculous act by placing it back safely into my bag.

Last night, I was frantic because I could not find something while packing off for Seattle. But I just stood there calmly and remembered what Pastor Joshua said about asking God to retrace your steps and helping you to find it.

The next moment, I found it. Praise Him.

The very same night, I had a very frightful dream and it was totally heart-wrenching but Jesus assured me of His presence.

God is not only my helper but also my protector who rest my fears and my Lord who loves me more than I can ever try to love Him.

So to my fellow SYTs who might be struggling or having little problems, trust Him with all heart for He is faithful and will see you through anything and everything. His ways are mightier than man and He can do even the most impossible thing.

One thing that I learnt is to have faith and trust in Him and He will carry you through. Faith can move the mountains, but with Jesus, faith can keep the fire burning constantly.

In His Love,
Jing
