I Keep Praising My Abba, Father No Matter What

I'm feeling good now.

Though..

negative, positive thoughts keep churning on my mind lately.

With negative thoughts? I deal with it by speaking in tongues.

But there are moments, where everything seems going nowhere.

I still feel so lost;

thoughts about life, living with a purpose and being sick for a while

start to shake my world.

What is the best thing to do in my situation right now?

Maybe, I need to step out on myself and go a little bit higher to see more of

what's eating up my soul for awhile.

Or maybe...

Well, enuf said.


I can actually talk a lot of things today ..but let me stop from here.

I feel like writing to Jesus.

Dear Jesus,

I may have acted pretty bad lately, in a bad mood, confused,
experiencing some unbeliefs maybe because I wanted to do things
on my own and wants the result done soon.

It frustrates me. Really... but now, I'm giving it all up.

But the problem is..

I don't know what to give up...

So now, I am asking you

whatever it is please take everything away from me.

Everything that's so heavy on me..

my thoughts,

my plans,

my needs or wants,

my wishes

even my dreams..

Even if it's such a burden to me..Please take it away.

I only want to come to you as I am...with nothing.

Thank you Jesus...

Thank you , Abba..

Thank you for keeping me with me -- no matter what...


Let me share another powerful devotional from Pastor Prince my dear beloveds,
As this message for today have answered what's churning in my mind.

Be blessed...and shalom.


Thanking God At All Times

Hebrews 13:15
15Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

Lifting up your hands and thanking God is spontaneous and easy when you have just received a wonderful blessing: “God, I can’t thank You enough for this miracle!”

“Thank You Father, for answering my prayer!”

“Father, thank You for the windfall!”

Perhaps you came close to being in a fatal accident, but God plucked you out of danger just in time. Or your grandmother, an unbeliever for many years, finally received Jesus as her Savior and got healed of a long-term disease.

But there are times when you don’t feel like lifting up your hands to thank and praise God, yet you do it. Perhaps you feel very discouraged lately. Perhaps everything is going wrong for you and you feel like your life is in a mess. You can’t hold back the tears. Yet, you make a conscious decision to lift your hands and thank God for being in the situation with you. You open your mouth and begin to praise Him even though you really don’t feel like doing it.

In the midst of the trial that you are going through, you praise Him that He is your righteousness in spite of all the mistakes you have made. You thank Him that He is your Prince of Peace, and that His peace will arise in you and still the storms in your life.

My friend, God sees and appreciates such times when, despite feeling so discouraged, you offer a freewill thanksgiving offering to Him. In fact, your thanksgiving during such times is more highly prized by Him than your thanksgiving during those times when you are feeling joyful because you have just been blessed.

And when you choose to thank Him for His unfailing love, and His faithfulness to deliver, protect and provide for you even when you don’t see the blessings yet, before long, you will find yourself experiencing and enjoying the blessings! So lift your hands and praise the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever! (Psalm 106:1)
