Spiritual formation is moving from doubt to trust. Focus on the promises<br />

of God; build your trust in Him. Let the meaning of the words bring rest<br />

to the place where you need it most and rest in the presence of God. Listen<br />

to His gracious and gentle invitation:<br />

Come to the table<br />

Come, come to the table with me<br />

Come to the inner room<br />

Where you can rest your soul<br />

Abide in me<br />

For apart from me, you can do nothing<br />

“…Quietness in the<br />

presence of God is a way to<br />

set our whole being free to<br />

worship Him, to adore<br />

Him, to renew our love for<br />

Him and rest in Him…”<br />

When things might not be too clear<br />

When journey might not be too smooth<br />

When future might not be too bright<br />

Where roads can be too rough<br />

Where visions can be too blurred<br />

Where life can be too burdensome<br />

Where tears seems no one understands<br />

Where relationships seems all broken<br />

Where dreams seems all shattered<br />

Listen to my soft and gentle voice<br />

I am here, child<br />

Never too far from you<br />

Just look up to me<br />

If that's the threshold you need to cross<br />

I won't stand in your way<br />

But I will be with you all the way<br />

Trust in me<br />

Never doubt my love for you<br />

For you are my children<br />

You are very dear to me<br />

I have a plan for you<br />

Plan to prosper you not to harm you<br />

To give you hope and a future<br />

See through the eyes of faith<br />

Find your place dear child<br />

A place I have designed for you<br />

Work on that and I will bring it to fruitions<br />

Sow seeds and nurture it<br />

You will bear much fruits for me in due seasons<br />

Let us spend a moment of quietness before the Lord and meditate on<br />

His words.<br />

Prayer: Dear Gracious Lord Jesus, You are the Vine, we are the<br />

branches. Bless this moment as we prepare to enter into the quiet and<br />

rest with you. Amen<br />

Rev Gloria Ling<br />
