Life, Live In Me

Life, Live in Me
And dispel all that is death from within me
Giver and Sustainer of  Life, let me live in you
That, in you, I will push back all that is death without

Light, Live in Me
And dispel all that is darkness within me
Light of the world, let me ever dwell in you
That all that is darkness around me flees at the sight of me

Peace, Abide in me
And dispel all the storms and white noise roaring in my head
Prince of Peace, let me abide in you
That with every word I release, every deed,  calm is restored

Love, Fill me up completely
And dispel all that is fake and conditional within me
Agape Love, let me burrow deep into your heart
That all that is not borne of love dissolves into nothingness at my presence

PapaGod, all I am really saying is take me over.
Totally. Completely. Please.

It's Been a Whole Year PapaGod!

Papa, you amaze me. And I amaze myself by the number of times I still shake in the face of stuff in spite of all you have done, do and continue to do in my life. Are you not the one that kept your son, my son AK in college for a whole year? Was I there? Was it not you who watched over him and kept him and caused him to excel? What did I do? Nothing! It was all you. Yet, I still manage to fear. Forgive me Papa, even as you accept my thanks today.

I am beyond grateful for all you have done in his life, my life, our lives. You are the forever faithful Father and I do not want any other. Please help me to look to your first when ever storms begin to blow cos the truth of the matter is. In you, I will always overcome. In you, AK has overcome one year in a land so far away, adjusting to new things and a new way of life and study. Yet he did it. But not him but you in him.

Baba, modupe gidi ganni. Please, as you have done, continue to do for him, for his sister and brother and for all the children in our family. I use him, AK, as a point of contact to all those kids I know, let your favour and grace ever be upon them. Regardless of what we see in this world, they will shine to your glory in Jesus name. Amen.

Thanks again Daddy. I am grateful. Love you. But know you love me more.
