I believe you are the answer to every tear I’ve cried
I believe that you are with me,
My rising and my light.

Give me strength when I am weary
Give me hope when I can’t see
Through the crosses I must carry
Lord, bind my heart to thee

That when all my days are over
and all my chores are done,
I may see your risen Glory
Forever where You are.

I spent 8 years in a charismatic church. I learnt the power of God, asking by faith (and other things of cos).
In the past 2 years, I learnt the dealings of God on the inside when we go through suffering.

For not everyday is a ask-and-you-shall-receive kind of day. Some days in the past 2 years, I felt like I was speaking to emptiness, and darkness. Some days I cried tears of sorrows. But in all these, God is present. He is sovereign, and He is faithful.

When we come to see the faithfulness of God, even when we go through the abyss of darkness, we know that He is present. Its all about trusting in His character.

U must know that the above is not because we pray in faithlessness. But really, it is because of faith, that we can rest and trust, whatever the outcome that it works for the good of those who love Him.

Been reading Psalms, and it speaks a lot about God being our deliverer, that He is the one who will fight the enemies for us. But an impt criteria, it is to rest and trust in Him to act on our behalf.

For in every victory, there is a death. On the cross, Jesus died for us, and from there we receive victory. In our lives, we take up the cross and follow Him. "For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." Matt 16. We die to our flesh, but not so that we will die forever, but so that we may find true life in Him.
