Ia memperhatikan kepentingan-kepentingan Anda dan Ia mengarahkan langkah-langkah hidup Anda.

"I pray You (God) 'll be our eyes

and watch us where we go..

and help us to be wise..

in times when we don't know..

Let this be our prayer, as we go our way..

Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace..

to a place where we'll be safe..

I pray we'll find Your light ..and hold it in our hearts..

When stars go out each night..

Let this be our prayer.. When shadows fill our day

Lead us to a place, guide us with Your grace,

Give us faith so we'll be safe..

We ask that life be kind..and watch us from above..

We hope each soul will find, another soul to love..

Let this our prayer, just like every child..

Needs to find a place, guide us with Your grace

to a place where we'll be safe.. "

"The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God how could you do this to me!" he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it.."

"In the same way a muscle grows when you work it, your faith grows when you work it. You may not necessarily like how it feels at first, but that is a sign that you're growing. God is taking you to a higher level and if you'll continue exercising your faith, you'll grow stronger and stronger."
