Jesus,

I want to cling to you
but I easily lose my footing.
So please don’t let me fall into the heart of the sea.
Uphold me by your right hand.
Yes, because you are within me, I will not fall.
You will help me at break of day.
You are my fortress.

Amen.

Jesus,

I have to learn English well,
not because of me,
but because of your country.

Anh Hoành said,
“The most important thing for our Viet Nam’s development is our ethics,
and the second most important thing is our English.”

Jesus,

I think I need a few more dresses
but I don’t know what styles of dresses I should choose and where to buy them.
However, you know me
and you know the right paths for me.
So you gift me many dresses, shirts and skirts.
They are elegant and fit my personality.

Jesus,
I am fully satisfied with the richest of your foods.
Your right hand upholds me (Psalm 63), I lack nothing (Psalm 23).
You are my God.

Amen.

Jesus,

Let’s clean our house.

Where should I put these items in? In plastic bags or in cartons? In which cartons?

Should I close this carton or should I leave its lid open so that I can store more items?

Jesus,

I want to move to a new place
but all things are in your mind.
So if you want me to continue to be in the old place, I will;
if you want me to go, I will.
I want to follow you,
not to follow my self.

Jesus, you are my shepherd, I lack nothing.
You make me lie down in green pastures.
You lead me beside quiet waters.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever. (Psalm 23)

Amen.

Jesus,

I have only one hour to clean our kitchen before the home repairmen come.
I have only me.
I also don’t know where to start cleaning up and how to do it.
Give me a hand.
…
Wow, we have done.
We are a good team.

Wishing we are always a good team.

Amen.

Jesus,

I will sign a big contract this afternoon,
but from early morning to noon, I cling to you
by learning by heart one psalm in English,
then humming it and other psalms.

Yes, whatever comes to me, I only want to focus on you,
because you are my refuge and strength.

So please listen to my petition.
Help me be still always
so that I can know that you are God, my God.

Amen.

Jesus,

You give me the great gift to bear fruit –
the Holy Spirit.

“And the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-23)

Help me bear much of this fruit for you.

Amen.
