Think Talk Pray

What is our response when we are facing challenges?.. our natural instinct might lead us to thinking and talking about it.. it is perfectly normal until we start to overthink and/or overtalk..

1) thinking and talking about the challenges will not change anything.. we will not solve the issue just by thinking and talking about it over and over again.. what they do is to magnify the challenge which brings worry and fear into the equation.. the more we think or talk about the problem the more worried we become.. worry and peace do not come together.. 

2) if only we pray as much as we think or talk about the problem.. when we raise our thanksgiving and petition to God we are acknowledging that He is in control.. it will release peace and calmness knowing that He will come through as He has done it again and again in the past.. when worry does not change anything prayer changes everything!!..

3) what if God does not answer our prayer?.. we might not get the answer we want but at least prayer changes us if not our situation.. sometimes it is not the situation that needs to be changed, it is us.. having the right heart and perspective is the key to maturity and fulfillment of His promise in our lives.. we could only get it from going through process with the wisdom from God.. and that wisdom comes from the time we spend with God.. no time is wasted in His presence..

worry changes nothing but prayer changes everything.. worry about nothing and start praying about everything.. #praynowworrylater #peacecomesfromtrusting #peaceoversolution


"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 NLT

Unanswered Prayer: Father's Perspective

Always a big fan of Prodigal Son's story since I could see myself as the son who left home to pursue something else that I perceive is better than being with the Father. However no matter what I have done and how bad I think of myself after making the same mistakes, it is always comforting and relieving that I always have a home to go back to. Recently when I read the story again I found one important truth that makes me even more grateful to be called His son. He was so hungry ..  That brought him to his senses..  I’m going back to my father.. When he was still a long way off, his father saw him. His heart pounding, he ran out, embraced him, and kissed him.   From the story we can see that there is a huge difference between what makes us tick and what makes God tick. What moves us is our tummy which correlates to our needs, while what moves the Father is His heart which corresponds to love. If we think about it what drives us to think, to do, and to move is our de...

It Is All About The Base

Christmas is coming!! 🎉🎉🎉our family is so excited to have our first ever christmas tree in singapore.. we had a mini tree last time but it does not count as it does not have the feel as much as a tree with proper height.. So we bought this tree last sat and tried to set it up on sun and mon.. what took it so long?!.. the biggest issue was we can't make the tree stood straight as it is supposed to.. several tries it leaned backward, another few tries it was slanted to the right.. so frustrating because of 2 things: 1) our expectation is so high as this is our first christmas tree but we could not make it right 2) we hate to dissapoint kakak gide as he kept talking about decorating the tree.. After several battle scars trying to tighten the base we realized that the issue was with the base itself.. it did not serve as firm foundation for the tree to stand straight and tall.. thus we decided to come back to the shop.. cut the drama short (the store's real opening hours differs ...

Different Perspectives on The Goodness of God

I am still waiting for my breakthrough.. I believe each one of us still having that area that we are all still waiting for that moment when God just shows up and makes things right.. It could be in our family, career, relationship, ministry, purpose, and so many other areas of our lives.. I thought at first we will be truly sincerely give thanks to God and be sure that God is indeed good when that supernatural moment comes.. This is what I believe until I received totally different perspectives recently.. First and foremost God has shown me that His goodness could not be measured by only the mega, big, major things like miracles, supernatural breakthroughs, or unexpected blessings.. It is always us who somehow put a mental barrier that only when this or that happens I could praise God for His goodness.. Only then I can give thanks to God with the right heart attitude.. Only then I would recognize how good God is.. This heart posture kills joy, peace, and hope since it creates lies that...
