Rough and Tumble

Asking God for a semester of drawing near to Him, now seems like I have challenged God for it.

Four weeks into the semester, one committee planning retreat, one camp and one leader’s retreat later..its already been a journey. Even then new challenges arise. A speaker scheduled to speak way in advance for this week had an emergency. Our university’s student body affairs department has tightened its regulations and hasn’t approve any of our meetings. We have no speaker, no hall and no permit.

In all these, my president tells me not to worry.

Then my spirit feels a whisper “come spend time with Me“.

I open my devotional and these words read..

O Lord, don’t rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your rage.
Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak.
Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
I am sick at heart.
How long, O Lord, until you restore me?
Return, O Lord, and rescue me.
Save me because of your unfailing love.
For the dead do not remember you.
Who can praise you from the grave?
I am worn out from sobbing.
All night I flood my bed with weeping,
drenching it with my tears.
My vision is blurred by grief;
my eyes are worn out because of all my enemies.
Go away, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.
The Lord has heard my plea;
the Lord will answer my prayer.
May all my enemies be disgraced and terrified.
May they suddenly turn back in shame. Psalms 6:1-10

The Lord has heard my plea, The Lord will answer my prayer.
