A Student's Prayer

Dear God,

I know how much I owe to You my life. How You've shown that my life is vital in the human race, I grasped what the world is all about, that evil lurks and good prevails. That in this jungle of commotion, survival of the fittest is our strong weapon.

I thank You for giving me the strength to face life; for guiding me through the right path; and for never ever leaving me in my ups and downs, in my dreams and fantasies, and even when I go wrong. Thank You for the chance You gave; despite the fact that sometimes, I don't have the courage to follow You.

Forgive me for all the things I made wrong, the sins I have committed and for disobeying Your commandments.

Help me in doing and accomplishing my tasks. Endow me with knowledge and guide me. That what I do may be a blessing to others. Help me to accept whatever achievements and failures I may encounter as I walk through life.

A lot of struggles and pain may come in my life unexpectedly,every rough roads and burden, still, I am grateful in hardships and pain for I know You love me unconditionally.And to Your arms and Spirit, I find my peace and calmness. Amen.

- M

Meleria's Sonnet

It seemed to be a new life at the time, You caught my attention unconsciously; I was in need, and you helped willingly, A unique bond grew and was pure as lime; You are the lyrics of the string’s rhyme, My dream’s exact epitome, shockingly; A magical sense exist swiftly, I was reluctant ‘cause it’s like a crime; And when He heard me, confusions came too; 'Guess I wasn’t ready at the time yet; All is said and done, what else could I do? Pain crushed me, and it seemed too hard to beat, Blade tears me when thud rose from the piano, Mind of hate, soul of love, heart of regret. - M

Sadly Missed, Lovingly Remembered

There were two persons who came to my life whom I barely know but both touched my life unexpectedly, shared a great secret to me and had left me the moment I needed them most. The only difference they have was that the first person promised to come back while the other one didn't say a word. I've been waiting for the first person to come back for almost half a decade but she never showed up, the only thing she had left me was a small Science Dictionary. I've been searching for her in the internet. I was young then that's why I couldn't remember her exact appearance. I lost her phone number and all I have was the name of the town where she came from, if only I could go there by myself then I would have done it a long time ago. The second one was the person who taught me to be strong, the person who said that there were still good things he found despite of my shortcomings, the person I thought would never leave me, and the person who made me change the

Obey

Why do you do what you do? For whom do you offer the things that you do? What is your primary concern when you make decisions? Can you imagine yourself doing something you don’t understand but you do it anyway out of obedience? I, myself, don’t fully understand the concept of obedience. It has been a constant struggle for me. However, the Bible is strewn with stories that teach us how to be obedient. Like Joseph for example. Joseph knew that he will be judged by others when he decided to obey God, when he chose to be with Mary. Yet he followed what God had instructed him to do. Despite the uncertainties and the struggles he and his bride might face, he trusted and obeyed God. A year ago, I was asked why I wanted to be an engineer. My answer at that time may not be wrong but the conversation showed me a new perspective. I was told that while my answer was for the right reasons, still, I should be doing the things that I do for a greater purpose. And that is for God’s glory
