I guess this is a testimony.

Hello friends. Today Duisent me the following verses on msn after i asked for prayer about missions and job and mentioned my anxiety about it:

Lamentations 3:24-33

24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;
therefore, I will hope in him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who depend on him,
to those who search for him.
26 So it is good to wait quietly
for salvation from the Lord.
27 And it is good for people to submit at an early age
to the yoke of his discipline:

28 Let them sit alone in silence
beneath the Lord’s demands.
29 Let them lie face down in the dust,
for there may be hope at last.
30 Let them turn the other cheek to those who strike them
and accept the insults of their enemies.

31 For no one is abandoned
by the Lord forever.
32 Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion
because of the greatness of his unfailing love.
33 For he does not enjoy hurting people
or causing them sorrow.

I must share something. Yesterday I went to Sunday school because I know the Lord wants to use me some way but uncertain. Saturday night i mentioned the end times and us being the salt of the earth and we have God's character because man is made in God's image, then the first woman taken from man, and we are the descendants. But that sin separates man from God and through Jesus we can have the faith and be faithful. in the sunday school they talked about re-entry after a short-term mission. almost my exact words were mentioned towards the end.. To me this confirmed God will send me on some mission. I felt strongly i shall study Thai and Mandarin and continue to spend time in the Word and wait on the Lord..

Today after talking to Dui, she gave me verses that then suddenly triggered a memory of something. I once wrote a poem to God last year or early this year and my friend Beth.. the verse Lamentations 3:26 came to her mind. To me since the poem was written for the Lord humbled to the Lord and He gave Beth that verse, then gave Dui more of it today, it is another confirmation and it is God who planned for Dui to give me those verses. God remains with us. we must listen to Him for He will speak to us much but we will hear Him the most when we are humble and listening putting our own desires etc aside. God does give the desires of our hearts anyways by seeking Him first! But as Dui says, God does not forsake us! God made two things clear to me by my words repeated to me at Sunday school and the same verse Beth gave people and myself was given to me by Dui. God does not forsake those who humble themselves before Him and are faithful to Him. and our time with Him brings stronger faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God.

Below is the note from Elisabeth and the poem I had wrote to God that God spoke to her through:


Dear Friends,

My heart was touched by this praying. A humble friend of mine.

May God bless you..

In Christ,

Beth

Lamentations 3:26 " It is good to wait quietly, for the salvation of the Lord"

=========================================================

Father God, I call to You,
Listen to my troubled mind
Consider my pain and sorrow.

You are my God, my everything.
You are there in every circumstance.
You hear me even when I do not hear You.

I await your answers and wisdom.
I will be nowhere without You.
Draw me closer, draw nearer to me.

Give me understanding and discernment.
Calm my anxious head, forgive my worries.
Help me to trust you more and fully.

Can I call a friend and get peace?
No, only from you can I find relief.
I find rest only in You.

You will take vengeance upon the enemy,
For they have done much to cause trouble,
They wish to ruin your plan, so they cast stones.

The enemy will not win, because your strength is greater,
Nothing can overpower You, you will raise me up,
You will feed me with your strength and sound mind.

Through You I will succeed and find the solution.
This stone from the enemy will crumble beneath my feet,
As your power flows through me, and restores my soul.

Lead me through this storm, and bring me out a warrior.
Rise me up from your mercies and power and use me by your will.
Send your Holy Spirit, and refresh me and train me in this fire.

You will, I know, praise You Lord!
Nothing compares to You and I will grow strong;
As You remain, I will succeed by your hand.

Thank You Lord for not leaving me.
Praise You for your mercy and grace.
Your kindness and love never cease.

Nothing I can write can truly describe You.
Thanks for being here with me in my troubles.
There is none like You.


Please pray for direction and wisdom for me regarding ministries, missions and finding my permanent job.
