Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be renewed in Bario. I thank You that I had done my MRI before leaving for Sarawak. It gave me time to process what may come next in my future. Lord, I thank You for granting me new-found friends who are so affirming and encouraging, who gave me space to grieve.
Lord, I want to pray about the people I come into contact with. There are times when I feel so discouraged by the people who are supposed to serve alongside me, but have conveniently dropped their responsibilities for their own interests. It pains me, Lord, to see people complain and yet to contribute to the issues we face.
I know I do not have the strength to carry this burden on my own. I am reminded how You invite me to come to You when I am weary and heavy-laden. Please give me the wisdom to handle these conflicts. May I do what pleases You and yet be reminded always that You love me because I am Your creation, not because of what I can do for You.. Lord, I thank You for reminding me that You are a Good and Gracious King.
I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King
I will give to You my burden
As You give to me Your strength
Come and fill me with Your Spirit
As I sing to You this praise
You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty handed I rejoice
You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You’re a good and gracious King
O what grace that You would see me
As Your child and as Your friend
Safe, secure in You forever
I pour out my praise again
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious
Good and gracious
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious King
