The prayer series

Jesus,

I know some authors,
who love to write
and who are professional writers.
At the beginning, they wrote well.
After from 2-20 years, they started to go downhill.

Why?

Because they couldn’t keep the mind still. Continue reading Prayer 632 →

“Nghèo khó là kho báu.
Đừng bao giờ đổi nghèo khó lấy một đời sống dễ dàng.”*

Jesus,

I feel a little down.
This suit isn’t as good as I think.

…

Our people now seem to like dress sexy or casually
instead of dressing formally in business.
And I dress like a person living in 1920, not 2020.

…

The wind comes.
You are comforting me?
You are bringing me joy?

…

Jesus, would you like to give me money?
Then you’ll lead me to another good tailor shop to make other suits?
Then you’ll buy pearl necklaces for me?
Nice watches, heels and many other things?

🙂

I’m poor
but I live as a princess.
My mom always tells me that.

Yes, I always think I’m a princess.
And truly I’m a Princess of God.
So I should live as who I am, right?

…

Would you like to clothe me so nice? 🙂

I love you, my God.

Amen.

Jesus,

No car in Da Nang?

The idea seems impossible
but it can come true,
because I’ve seen my impossible ideas have been coming true.

The impossible ideas have been coming true
because I believe in you.
Believing that
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.”* Continue reading Prayer 623 →

The prayer series

Jesus,

Do you know why I can write quite well?

Because my mind is quite empty.

My mind is empty
because I read less;
or if I read,
I’ll forget things I read.

I can write well
because my words come from the empty mind.
If my mind is full of words of others,
my writing is full of words of others.
So the writing is not mine and it’s bad.

The empty mind helps me create.
So my writings are unique.

My ideas can be the same as those of others
but my writings are unique.
And it’s art.
Art is creation and uniqueness.

Interesting, Jesus?
The career path is also the Zen path.

All thanks to you, Jesus.

I love you.

Amen.

PTH
