A simple present to the world to remind us of what Holy Week is really about. Amidst our vacation leaves, beach, family time, off from work and school, lets bear in mind the reason why we have these holidays and experience such. This is the only time of the year where we are given an opportunity to do this - even Legally - to recollect all aspects of our lives, to reconnect to anyone and that ONE whom we've lost touch, and of course FIX ourselves. Holy Week, a annual check-up of our soul.

Have a beautiful and fulfilling Holy Week!
 
Everybody has their own wounds and hurts, none of us are free from this. Some get healed through medicine and solutions while some we tend to forget. However, there are those those that just lie there inside of us...waiting..sinking..blocking...

It's already the start of the Holy Week. Let's take this opportunity to recollect ourselves and reconnect with the one true source of healing...God.
 
Lost...Empty...Disappointed...Dry...Confused...Discouraged...
there's no song on Earth that touches me so sharply than this
song....so I made this video to remind us that we are God's
 children and no matter who we are, what we've done,
who we've become....He knows everything about
you and me, but still..........

Psalm 139

You search me
You know me
You see my every move
There's nothing I could ever do
To hide myself from You
You know my thoughts
My fears and hurts
My weaknesses and pride
You know what I am going through
And how I feel inside
But even though You know
You will always love me
Even though You know
You'll never let me go
I don't deserve Your love
But you give it freely
You will always love me
Even though You know

You search me
You know me
You see my every move
There's nothing I could ever do
To hide myself from You
You know my thoughts
My fears and hurts
My weaknesses and my pride
You know what I am going through
And how I feel inside
But even though You know
You will always love me
Even though You know
You'll never let me go
I don't deserve Your love
But you give it freely,
You will always love me
Even though You know
You will always love me
Even though you know
 

Time out! Give yourself a break and try to see if you have any of these...

I don’t believe in prayer if…

Prayer is JUST a magic charm. But that’s how some people pray. They pray….only so they’ll be safe when they go on vacation. Only so their day will go smoothly. Only so their family will stay happy and healthy. Only so they will get the lucky breaks. I don’t believe in that kind of prayer…

I don’t believe in prayer if…

Prayer is JUST a way to “place my order” with God. But that’s how some people pray. They pray only because they’d like to have something they don’t have. Only because they’d rather not have something they do have. Only because someone is bugging them and they need to have God straighten that person out. Only because they don’t want to have to go through the hard times. I don’t believe in that kind of prayer.

I don’t believe in prayer if…

Prayer is JUST a tranquilizer. But that’s how some people pray. They pray… only because they feel so much better when they do. Only because they’re more relaxed and at peace with the world when they pray. Only because they’re easier to be around when they pray and they want people to like being around them. I don’t believe in that kind of prayer.

I don’t believe in prayer if it’s only a matter of what I can get from God.

BUT I DO BELIEVE IN PRAYER IF….

Prayer is a conversation with someone I love. And that’s just how some people pray. They pray…they want to show God how much they love HIM (and spending time with Him is a way to show Him). Because they want to tell God how wonderful they think He is. Because they want to let God know how they’re feeling and what they need him to do for them and for others. Because they want to say thank you to God. Because they want to say, “Im sorry.”

I DO BELIEVE IN PRAYER IF….

Prayer is a window that lets me see into God’s heart. (This does not mean I will always understand what He’s doing, but I will understand the kind of God He is – that He is loving and kind, for example.) And that’s just how some people pray. They pray… so they can listen to God. So they know what He wants them to do. So they learn what to ask for and what not to ask for. So they understand Him better.

 
I DO BELIEVE IN PRAYER…. Prayer is a matter of what I can give to God – my love, my admiration, and my trust.

 Now, tell me, which prayer do you pray?
