…here’s a short devotional I made for our Prayer Solitude two months ago in CBC. This short devotional speaks of what’s in my heart that very day. I was able to finish it in just a few minutes. hehe Let me share it with you… :)                                              – NIKKI –

"BECAUSE OF THE LORD’S GREAT LOVE WE ARE NOT CONSUMED, FOR HIS COMPASSIONS NEVER FAIL. THEY ARE NEW EVERY MORNING; GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS."               Lamentations 3:22-23

What consumes you right now? Is it a recent problem at home? At work? A broken relationship beyond repair? Fear of the future? Wrong decisions made? Unforgiving heart? Unmet expectations? Hmmmmmmm….. Just take time to ponder the things that seem to consume you lately.

Whatever it is or they are, one thing is sure — we will NOT be consumed because of God’s great love that is greater than any of our problems. The truth is we need not carry all these with us. All we need is ask forgiveness from God for all our sins and for carrying all these problem-baggages with us. Then cast all our cares to God for He cares for us. We need to remember that, by God’s amazing grace, all things are new every morning! We just have to choose to live it by faith. Indeed, our God will always be faithful even though we are unfaithful many times. The fact that God remains faithful — we can always praise Him, worship Him regardless of our circumstances — whether good or bad.

Now, take time to pray for the things you have pondered. As you pray for each problem-baggages, always acknowledge that God is faithful and that He is greater than any of these problems. Cast it all to him and then let go…
