2005年5月18日 上午1點43分34秒A morning prayer for my vocation
My dear Lord,
Lord, help my little-faith heart to trust you wholeheartedly that you will provide. You are my Lord in the discernment of occupations and careers.
So much fear and pressure is coming upon me, and I don't think my parents, who have totally different perspectives and worldviews, are able to understand me. Indeed, their guidances and advices are helpful, but I need you! I need your guidance and help, your leading and direction.
I am so confused of whether I should stay in HK or US......
Am I suitable for Christian ministry? Am I mature enough for that? Am I capable? If yes, in HK or US? A church or IV?
Or other ways, what kind of jobs should I apply? Or graduate school (Prof. Wittie gives interest to me in this field......)? Stay in US for OPT for one year, or go on to study?
What is my true talent and skill? Com. Sci., Greek, Classics, Music, Piano Performance, Business, Accounting? Be a scholar, a minister, a free person or professional one?
Help me to overcome the money and family issues, which are very, very pressing. I know that sometimes they are impossible to avoid. Lord, save me and be with me in the midst of these!
Give me a sensitive, humble and listening (audible ^.^) heart. Help me to listen to your voices in daily lives.
Grant me the peace, the exceptional peace to those who trust you, follow you and love you.
Help me to start planning carefully, wisely and seriously on this. Help me to transcend from myself, my interpersonal relationships and my surrounding environments. Help me to look upon them from your perspective, with your heavenly eyes.
Prepare some godly and insightful guides and mentors, in everywhere, to help me and give me the awakening words. Chris & Jess, Gateway experience, Vera Hung, Ian, and other wonderful, spiritual Christians in your eyes.
Lord, here I lay down all these plans to you. I believe that you are the one who guides us, who brings us to the maximum fulfillment of our vocations, destinies and purposes, who encourages us to live only for your kingdom and your glory. Having a successful job, material enjoyment, money or leisure are just secondary.
Lord the Most Holy. May your will be done. May your name be glorified! I bow down and worship you!
In your bewloved son's name. Amen!
Your little child
