Daily Dose of Message from God (10/06/2009)
by Lorelei on Oct.06, 2009, under My Reflections, Personal
Today, God wants me to know that humans learn only by trial and error, and that includes me.
You’ve got to live life, not think about it. Step into the midst of things, try and fail and learn and stand up again. The question is not whether you will or will not make mistakes - you will. The question is do you want to learn and grow, or do you want to shrink back and be stuck? Take that step you’ve been avoiding. You can succeed, or you can get feedback that it didn’t work, but in either case you are sure to feel alive.
Help Others By Giving Them Hope
by Lorelei on Oct.01, 2009, under My Reflections, Personal
I misunderstood myself when I said I needed to help others in a way wherein cash is necessary. It was just yesterday when I realized that helping them doesn’t have to start in starting our own foundation. I was thinking how can I help if I have nothing.. but it never occurred to me that I am already helping others by giving them hope and updating them about their families and love ones here in the Philippines. I never thought that a little something to share is already a big help for them..
I’ve gained new friends through this time of difficulty and I started to care for them; for how they feel while their love ones struggles in the midst of a disaster; for how lonely they are right now and so worried about their families back home.
And so this coming Saturday, I will try and do my best to reach the location of some of my new friends’ families and love ones. I will try to help them by giving them good news. And though I may not be able to fulfill everyones wish, I will not stop helping others and so to share my blessings.
Prayer For Calamity
by Lorelei on Sep.26, 2009, under My Reflections, Personal
For those who are in difficult situation right now, I pray for them. I pray for my families and yours. Let tomorrow be a brighter day for all of us.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy,
To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
Psalm 33:18, 19; Psalm 103:8.
Loving Saviour Jesus,
A single word from You can protect us from every perilous calamities since by Your word alone, the heavens, the earth and all living creatures were made. As the Bible says, “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man and in princes”, I trust only in You Lord. Your word says, “those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” I once again acknowledge that You who made a way for Your people through the Red Sea, You who stopped the rains for three years, You who rebuked the storms and walked on the sea, You are present today with the same authority and power to save us from this calamity.
Lord, if there be any unconfessed sin in my life, I confess them all to You and Lord, please forgive them for me. Help me to stand firm in You and to live a life pleasing to You hereafter. Wash me with Your blood that the sin may not be an obstacle for You to save me in this critical hour. Keep me as the apple of Your eye and build a hedge around me. You have promised, “Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”
Father, I know that Your righteous right hand will protect us and keep us all safe from every disaster as You are our refuge and ever-present help in times of trouble. I praise You and thank You for Your loving-kindness.
Amen.
To Share My Blessings
by Lorelei on Sep.24, 2009, under My Reflections, Personal
After 6 months of silence, I decided to update this site again. But, right now I am sharing a wonderful thought to my readers.
Last night, when I couldn’t get a sleep, I had this feeling of wanting to help others who are in need. Of course, everybody need something, but I am talking about the Filipino families who are so miserable in life. I am not rich but I’ve been blessed every day and even the time when I didn’t have a job, God never failed to shower me His blessings through my family and friends. And now I wanted to pass it on to others. Though this is not really new to me that for so long I wanted to celebrate my birthday giving out goods to needy people, it’s just that I wasn’t prepared yet. And so this day, I decided to add a new meaning into my life…
Don’t Worry Too Much
by

There are times in our lives when we worry too much.. we worry about life; what we will eat or drink; or about our body; or what will we wear.. but looking deeply in what life has for us, we’ll be able to understand that life itself is merely important than anything else. And we shouldn’t be worrying for anything else, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Maybe we worry on little things because we are tend to be like this or maybe sometimes we worry about big things because we just need more faith..
We may have to sacrifice a bit or a lot to deal with the situations we are in, but thinking it through we’ll realize that it’s not just our sacrifice that makes it work but because God wants it to work for us. He has plans and everything will be given to us at the right time as long as we let Him inside our heart.
