praise

God is bigger than the air i breathe. God is bigger than all my circumstances. God is bigger than I. God is bigger than my strengths. God is AMAZINGLY BIG. God is more powerful than I can ever imagine. and yet...

He died for me. He rose again for me. He poured out His blood for me. He redeemed me. He freed me. He saved me. He reconciled with me. and...

He did all this for YOU too! and...

He listens to my prayers. He answers my prayers. He loves me. and YOU too!

I am His beloved. I am His. I am chosen. I am His heir. and so are you if you have chosen Christ.

the weight of all this praise amazingly outweighs all my problems, makes it all insignificant. even the problems of this fallen world, the hurts of this fallen world, the pain of this fallen world, the hate of this fallen world, everything! is just insignificant compared to who He is and what He has done, is doing, and will do in me, through me, in my friends, through my friends, and in this world!

Lord, I pray that I may give you my all and entrust to You all of me, I pray that I am able to cling onto You and Your hope b/c You do not disappoint and Your hope does not disappoint. Lord, may your glorious kingdom come! and our knees bend before You! May we trust in and discern Your good, pleasing, and perfect will and may Your will be done on earth, on the U.S., on California, on Nor Cal, on UC Davis, in Epic, in my life as it is in heaven.
