The Prayer...

No, this is not the song by Celine Dion & Andrea Bocelli... hehe... well, it's the prayer hubby and i prayed in our journey back from Melaka to SK.

We prayed for:
God's guidance - in our family and our careers - in making everyday decisions.
God's wisdom - as parents in raising up baby Sarah the way He wants us to.
God's provision - in good health & finance - opening doors of opportunities for greater challenges ahead of us, esp in our careers.
God's protection - upon our families - pray against any forms of accidents on the road, at home, basically in everywhere we go.
God - to be our Master and Lord over our lives.

As i prayed, i sense a deep cry to God to take the lead in our lives. Many times we fail to surrender our ALL before God and instead, we went ahead and lead our own lives, making our own decisions and eventually blame God for it if things didnt turn out right.
Father, forgive us for being careless in our life journey. We pray that You will take over as we commit our lives back to You.

There is a song that is commonly sung in weddings, holding the title "Father We Commit to You". Sounds familiar? :)
Well, the song came to me this morning and having it rung in my head, i know it's a reminder to me to re-dedicate my life to God. May He truly be Lord over my life and my family.

Father We Commit to You
God before us, God beside
God within us abide
God in heaven, and in this place
Father we commit to You this day

Chorus:
For we know that You are faithful
Through the stillness and the storm
For You've been with us from the start
Father we commit to You our heart

God in pleasure, God in pain
God will ever remain
God in gladness, and God in strife
Father we commit to You our lives
