Certain things happened to me recently, that threatens my life's status quo. Somehow there is an intrusion upon my life that i am uncomfortable with, yet i am forced to take it up nonetheless. May the Lord help me with this discomfort that makes me go out of my own comfort zone to serve You. QT may no longer be shared with You in my room, but i pray that You will give me a good, quiet and private place for me to continue to live my life with You, God.

Places may change,
situations may be unfavourable,
emotions may be dull,
life may be dry,
Distractions may come,

But,

You are always the same,
Unchanging from generation to generation,
from the beginning to the end,
Your love never changes,
nor does it ever fail,
my Hope is in You.
Bring me closer,
and sustain my life,
for Your work and purpose
that You have planned for me.

Temptations may come, and it always comes stronger whenever its previous attempt failed. Guard my heart Lord; show me a way out of this. For it is written,

(1 Corinthians 10:13) (Amplifed Bible)
For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not [adjusted and] adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.

Being tempted is a good thing, because it means that the enemy sees you as a precious child of God, and temptations are traps that has the potential to make us fall away from the Lord if we respond to it unbiblically.

I love the amplified version! It makes things more clear. Haha.. time to get an amplified Bible ler!
