"Dear daddy in heaven,
Thank you for hugging me walking through this Jordan river. But daddy, I donno y - I still have no confident that you will be with me wherever I go. I know, I know you promised me that you will not forsake me or leave me but father, can you assure me again please? I can't see very bright future in Miri but I know this path is full of your blessings and i will just open my hands, stretch out and waiting to receive you abundant blessings.
Daddy, can you assure me that you will be with me again? I know, I know... I know i can open bible and read Isaiah 41:10 but i ... just want to see miracles.... again please :(
I know you love me and I love you too...
In Jesus name i pray, Amen."

In All Kinds Of Weather
Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. —Matthew 28:20
When Jesus sent His disciples out, He gave them this promise: “I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt. 28:20). Literally, the word always means “all the days,” according to Greek scholars Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown.
Jesus didn’t simply say, “always,” but “all the days.” That takes into account all our various activities, the good and bad circumstances surrounding us, the varied responsibilities we have through the course of our days, the storm clouds and the sunshine.
Our Lord is present with us no matter what each day brings. It may be a day of joy or of sadness, of sickness or of health, of success or of failure. No matter what happens to us today, our Lord is walking beside us, strengthening us, loving us, filling us with faith, hope, and love. As He envelops us with quiet serenity and security, our foes, fears, afflictions, and doubts begin to recede. We can bear up in any setting and circumstance because we know the Lord is at hand, just as He told Paul in Acts 18:10, “I am with you.”
Practice God’s presence, stopping in the midst of your busy day to say to yourself, “The Lord is here.” And pray that you will see Him who is invisible—and see Him everywhere. — David H. Roper
God’s unseen presence comforts me,
I know He’s always near;
And when life’s storms besiege my soul,
He says, “My child, I’m here.” —D. De Haan
Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. —Isaiah 55:6

Oh Marlene,
Your writings are so honest and they inspire me. As you have know, I have been coping with some small health issues. It's really no more than a part of aging, but sometimes I worry and I have to read and repeat the scripture, Be anxious for nothing, but in all supplication and prayer, etc. (I'm very bad about memorizing and I usually just paraphrase). So, your words Monday were special to me.
I am so glad to have found your blog. You help me with my creativity and spirtuality. My pre-school aged kids & I were doing an Easter advent calendar. They kept telling me they were hungry. We did our reading that said to "ask the Lord" and we opened the calendar and there was a cracker & cheese snack in there! What a lesson about trusting the Lord!
