I Believe in You

          I chanced upon this song in YouTube while searching for LeAnn Rimes songs. I've been looking for a new song to give to Adonai Yeshua (Lord Jesus). This song is just perfect! The lyrics of the song, every line is really meaningful, so heartfelt. Actually, I want to post this article next month as my thanksgiving song, but I told myself, so what if its not yet December, I just want to give this song to Him. So what I did, I just drafted the other blog entry that I intend to publish here instead. I chose this article over that.  I think I don't need to explain further the meaning of the song. The lyrics are self-explanatory. This song is dedicated to our Lord Jesus, who's always there for me, through my life's, ups and downs. He's really a true, and loyal friend. He's the one who will never leave especially in times of trouble. Thank You Adonai Yeshua for everything!




I Believe In You

You breathe and life begins
You speak and my world makes sense
That's how it is when it comes to you

Your mercy has no end
You are more than just a friend
It amazes me you feel the way you do

I believe in you and nothing less
I believe in you can't help myself
You're all the hope the reason that I need
I believe in you just because
I don't need no one to prove your love
From all that I have seen

It's easier for me to believe in you, oh no, yeah
You are so beautiful, you are the miracle
That dry the tears, heals the wounded heart

And it's so clear to see, your hand in everything
You were there for me, there to see me through

* I believe in you and nothing less
I believe in you can't help myself
You're all the hope the reason that I need
I believe in you just because
I don't need no one to prove your love
From all that I have seen
It's easier for me to believe in you, oh no, yeah

Through the fire and through the rain
I know your love for me will never ever change*

A Comics Strip, My Prayer, and the Song of My Heart

          We were dismissed early at work today because of the strong typhoon named 'Yolanda'. Still, we need to pray for those who were badly affected by the storm. Anyway, about this entry of mine. I read in one of the Christian websites that I have visited, a very beautiful prayer, "Prayer for a future husband." I'm really very vocal about this desire of mine. Still, I am not giving up and I'm not losing hope that someday, GOD will bring us together. Sometimes I can't help but ask, 'what's taking it so long?' Here's a comics strip that I found on the internet that exactly describes how I feel.

I remember someone said, if we are going to ask GOD for something, why not tell Him about what you really want. So I edited this prayer that I found on a website and added my very own list. The author of this prayer is now married to the man of her dreams. (I included the link of the webpage below). Yes, I believe that GOD can write your own love story, not just a love story but a beautiful one! So here's the prayer. To all the single Christian women right now, you can use this as a pattern when you pray someday for your future husband. It's not too late to pray, maybe you can start praying now! Also, I'm not saying that GOD will send you a husband with the exact qualities that you've asked for. This is just my way of asking Him, and I'm not in a way setting your hopes high that GOD will send you your 'ideal person', after all, He knows what's best for us. We still need to trust Him regarding this matter.

Dear Almighty GOD, our Father, (Adonai Elohai, Abba)

I want a Christian home. I want to raise a Christian family. One that goes to church on Sundays, is involved with the church, and prays together at night. I want a husband. I want a spiritual leader. A man that will lead me. I want that man who prays for me, and I pray for him. I want a man that prays with me. Who smiles because he’s drunk in love with YOU! Who relies on You.

I want a man who is unconditional in his ways (love, gifts, kindness, helping hand). Who doesn’t expect things in return – EVER. Who accepts the world as it is and doesn’t let it affect his walk with You. I want a man who wants to change the world.

I want a man that knows You!!! I want a man that will accept Your blessings even the small ones. A man that makes me feel like he can make a mountain out of a mole hill even if there is no dirt or rock to make one with. I want a man that is positive and understanding. A man that makes me push to be a better person. A man excited about life and looks forward to life after death. A man that has a spot in heaven and will help me in my spiritual journey. Because that’s what life is … a journey of grace. God’s grace.

And while I’m asking. Can I have a man who is a gentleman? A man who has goals in life and who knows how to manage his money? Someone who is either musically inclined, or someone who is creative and artistic, who loves learning new things, and is a patient and a good teacher to me. Someone, who's more like me in not so many ways, and most importantly someone whom I like, and who likes me too!

All these, I ask in Jesus' (Yeshua's) name.

Still waiting patiently. Amen.

 Prayer for a future husband 

          I will not end this entry, without giving you a song. This is a really beautiful (duet) song made for married couples and also for single people like us, who are still waiting. John Waller is the singer of this song, he's the one who sang the OST of 'Fireproof', "While I'm Waiting." He sang this together with his wife, Josee.

         My prayer for all of you who are still waiting, I hope and pray that GOD will bless you in this season of waiting, that You continue Your walk with the Lord, our GOD, and to always put Your trust in Him no matter what.  GOD be praised always!



The Marriage Prayer

Father, I said 'till
Death do us part
I want to mean it
With all of my heart


Help me to love You
More than I love her
Then I know I can
Love her more
Than anyone else

 
And bring her in
Your presence today
Make her what
You want her to be


I pray to hear her heart
I pray she'll love You more
I pray to cherish and serve her
And we'll bring You glory today, I pray


Father, I said 'till
Death do us part
I want to mean it
With all of my heart


Help me to love You
More than I love him
Then I know I can
Love him more
Than anyone else


And bring him in
Your presence today
Make him what
You want him to be


I pray to hear his heart
I pray he'll love You more
I pray to strengthen and serve him
We'll bring You glory today, I pray


Lord, help me love her
As You love the church, Your bride

Help me submit to him
As I submit to You, my life
 
This is my prayer. Amen.
