38- I am coming home

Daddy, 
How does it feel to be in those positions? When we are so close to You that we feel Your every presence; when we are so broken that You seem to be the only way out; when we stray so far off and suddenly realize that You have been hanging on nevertheless; when our sight and minds have been turned to You and only You? All these possibilities, Lord, will You just help me see. 
Today I was exposed to Your goodness- a firm conviction that whenever we pray there You will be to listen and answer our prayer. Today I was exposed to Your people, the suffering and struggle of the great many that I might have been oblivious too. Help me to recognize the familiarity, for You are the Lord, my God. May all emotions be of You and from You and might I be spurred toward a great much closer to You.
Today I wanna continue to give You thanks, that You hear the smallest prayer from us because You care. I thank You for clearing the sky when we want to jog; I thank You for being there to minister when the baggage and burden had seemed too much for us to take. Lord, I pray for You to work every so mightily. In Your name, I proclaim Your victory, for more than 2000 years ago, Your victory over death has already redeemed us. So in Your name I want to cast out to guilt and the iniquity in Timothy. I thank You for his heart, for the mess within is the beginning of a great work in You. So Lord, just as the God's chisel has depicted, I pray for You to mould him and heal him. Lord, Your hand is mighty and Your prowess unlimited. I pray for You to speak to Him and in Your name, I declare mercy. That You will help him in the walks in this life- help him to pick up this faith to follow You. 
Lord, I also want to continue to pray for my brothers and sisters. I give You thanks for Joseph, for bringing him back to You. Lord, may Your words be clear to his ears. Help him to hear and obey You and may You reveal Your plan for him and these many children of Yours.
Lord, I pray for Benjamin, Ryan, Eleanor, Calvin, Vanessa, Timothy and Keith. Each of them has a unique role to play in Your plan, and I declare Your goodness upon these many lives. May all of them have a Godly encounter with You. 
Finally Lord, I pray for You to continue to be so real so close to us in this lives. Help me call out to You, and help me to see Your pillar of cloud and fire, that wherever I may go, there Your presence will be with me. Lord, I continue to pray for the gift of tongues. May Your revelation blow me away, and keep me close to You, always!
In Jesus's most precious name I pray,
Amen!

Your child,

Judah

Give thanks with a grateful heart;
A distant hope, in You it will start.
Burgeoning excitement;
a joy amongst all sentiments.

Psalm 97: 11- 12
"Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.
Rejoice in the Lord, you who are righteous, and praise His Holy name."

38- witness

Daddy,

I pray for inner peace. Thank You for this period, this season, this wonderful season You have laid ahead of us. The excitement is spreading, and Lord, I want to believe that tis sensation is of You and it from You. Lord, please continue to work through all these. Your works we have been entrusted with, Your guidance will see us through! I pray for Your leading, to motion me along and help me to keep up with the pace and the steps. I pray for Your peace, that it's decision is an assured one derived at Your mercy. I pray for a conducive environment, that wherever I am, I will always be able to look to You and pacify the inner mess. Help me to focus in following You, and help me to focus in studies.

Lord, You know all things. That even before I present my problems to You, You already know all the needs of the world. Lord, I pray for Your vision, to help me see. I pray for Your heart, that will help me feel. I pray for Your ears, that will help me hear. That each request I present before You, it will be according to Your likings and Your joy. 

I have my own struggles to doubt, and Lord I just want to keep faith. Help me not to push You out and strengthen my conviction in this faith. As I type this letter, Lord, I pray for You to work things out within me, that whichever part within me that is not of You, may You chisel them away.

Remove any pride and remove any abstinence, and help me submit to You. Your authority I will submit indeed, Lord. Turn me to Your words once again. As much as I would always love to give You thanks for all the discoveries I have made on hindsight, I pray for quick ears and eyes, to be responsive enough to notice Your might hands move. Lord, I pray for Godly encounter with You. My heart is weak, and my faith is small. Lord forgive every bit of me which doubt, and I pray for Your supplication.

The gift of tongue I so seek-after, Lord, I pray for You to give according to Your will. All these are of You and for Your works, so Lord I pray for Your equipping, That each gift from You will be acknowledged and mightily utilized for Your works. Let Your works be not only an encouragement to the rest, but to You as well. 

All these I will not see, unless You grant me the vision. I pray for You to help me see Lord, I pray for You to help me love too Lord.

I am struggling to pin down my pride and selfish recognition and selfish gain. Lord, I give them to You and will You just pin them down. I pray for a heart that is wholly after Yours, that each work I take on, it's by Your grace and mercy, that my motivation would be that of love- love from You, love You, love Your people. 

For Poiema Lord, I pray for each and every single one of them, that You will give and supply in every area that You have designed them to go. May Your mighty plans for them unfold in all glory and splendor that point towards Your goodness in this life! 

I pray for mighty revelation, and I want to sit at the foot of Your throne to hear You. Lord, speak Lord.

Lord, I pray for Zheng Feng. Thank You for the brief experience he had with You, and thank You for such an opportunity You have made available for a growth, just before enlistment. You know the kind of challenges, and You know the kind of impacts it would have on a young life. I pray for Holy intervention that You will show him what is right from wrong. and I pray for a transformation of heart. That in this curiosity he has for You, he will have an experience with You, and it will be transformed into a love and a hot pursuit for You. Lord, I commit this brother into Your hands and I also commit the development of this new friendship into Your mighty hands! 

In Jesus's name I pray,

Amen!

Your child,

Judah

Tugged into the couchy, adjusted into comfy;
left arm on the resty, right hand holding a drinky.
Curtains drawn, applause sound;
the play titled "Creation" came on air.
I wait in anticipation; eager for a fascination.
Wonderful promise excites me; unfolding purpose awesome it's to be.

1 Chronicles 28: 8
"So now I charge you in the sight of Israel and of the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God:
Be careful to follow all the commands of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land and pass it on as an inheritance to your decedents forever."

39- burgeoning excitement

Daddy,
Perhaps it is just a bit of discomfort, but a lot more of a reminder. I thank You for the scar, that Your protection has not only protected me from harm, but also given me a mark, one that guards and hides me away from repeating the mistake. I want to be sure and certain and stay faithful to that conviction, that I am through with the past. 
Thank You for being there amongst us, Lord. For us to pray for one another, and for the leaders to pray for each of the Poiema members. I certainly feel very encouraged and ministered by the session, and I am not sure if I have heard correctly, but those sensing, I pray for them to become clearer each time I draw close to You. Let it not be my own imagination or mere sentiments, but really each image and each sound, let it be a vision of Yours or Your own voice speaking. Help us be sensitive to Your words, and help us to be responsive to them as well.
Lord, I want to pray for Ryan, Benjamin, Eleanor, Timothy and Keith. Each of these young lives, I give you thanks. All of them have come far in their own strive with You, and I just want to pray for You to work through them. Let Your glory shine through them and make them a people after Your heart.
Lord, I want to pray by name for Ryan. As these kids come under my wings Lord, help me to love them. As a shepherd is to a group of helpless sheep, I pray for You to work through me. Grant me the wisdom, and grant me discerning ears, that indeed I will be able to guide them onto the right path that runs after You! Lord I thank You for such maturity in Ryan, that You have endowed upon Him responsibility at such a tender age. Help him be a Timothy, young yet not fearful; anointed yet not boastful; tormented yet faithful. Lord, let him speak Your truth and draw him away from all evils. This is Your masterpiece, and I speak growth in Your name, that as he continues to spend more time with us, he will continue to grow in this faith, and be a blessing to his family.
Lord, I want to also pray for Benjamin. You know Your child, and he may not be the most expressive boy, but You know his heart- one that is tender and meek, one that reaches out to the young and the weak. Lord, I pray for You to raise him up. Raise his confidence level, and grant him favor in building relationships. Lord, I pray for You to mature his heart, and really just breathe Your words unto him. As he continues to seek You and look up to You, Lord, may You bless this boy in his walk with You, that he will be drawn closer to You than ever!
As for Eleanor, I thank You for this special lady, one whom blister with such huge potential. All good things on earth come from You, and as I lead her, Lord, I pray for You to guide her. Mould her heart and transform her into Your likeness! I pray for a revelation within, a transformation within, a realization within, that You will wrestle her away from the ways of the world, and may the gifts and the huge potential You have bestowed upon her be used as means to do Your great works! In Your name I want to bless Eleanor, that You will grant her favor amongst people. That in this new dynamics, You will help her to become more sensitive both spiritually and emotionally, and let her be a vessels to perform Your transformation. I pray for receptive hearts and open minds, that we will learn to love and look beyond what we see.
Lord, I also want to pray for Keith. Thank You for this mature boy. He has gone through much at a young age, and I thank You for the strength You have given him for You do not give beyond what we can take. So Lord, I pray for You to stir up a new revival, a new desire from within, that You will help him to see the need of meaningful fellowship. Help him to step up, and help him to recognize a special identity You have given him in Your name. Lord, I pray for Keith that he will continue to grow in You abundantly. I release this young boy into Your hands and trust that You will guide him along righteous path, and that in this new environment he will be Your mouthpiece to spread the Good News. Lord, You are the God of excellence, so I pray for You to continue to develop Keith.
Lord, I want to pray for Timothy. Thank You for this encouragement, that in times of doubt, his simple faith always point towards Your glory and Your goodness. Lord, I pray for Timothy that in this new dynamics, he will be able to hone and grow in his maturity level in You. As we dwell amongst the younger ones, let them be an encouragement to us as much as we are mentors to them. I pray for Timothy that You will talk to him and reveal Your unique plan for him. I commit him into Your holy hands, that You will guide him and guard him against all evil. Lord, I pray in Your name for Your wisdom and discernment to be upon him as he takes up more responsibilities in life to make decisions. Lord, I want to bless this brother with the gift of wisdom, that he truly will be revelation of Your words to the group.
Finally Lord, I want to pray for Joseph. Thank You for being such an important figure in his development, that even when he seems to be getting out of hands, Lord You always grant him the silent humility to learn and change. Lord, I pray for his cell and my cell in togetherness. Lord, I trust in Your plan and thank You for revealing to us much via Your children. Lord, I continue to pray for our cells, and cry out for Your revelation. Clear the dark patch and help us to see. Lord if anything is of You, give us the confidence that You will be there with us in all that we do. Let us not see as the world sees, but help us to pick up the spiritual spectacles to see through Your eyes. Lord, I release Joseph into Your Holy hands. Lord, humble him and hone him. Help him to love the unlovable, and help him to enjoy the peace in following You.
In Jesus's most precious name I pray,
Amen!

Your child,

Judah

By name I commit them into Your hands;
trusting fully in Your Holy plans.
Pure sheep,
Yours to keep.
Actively we seek for Your purpose to unfold;
Gladly, in Your love and grace our lives are hold.

John 21: 15- 17
""When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"
"Yes Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."
Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."
Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."
The third time He said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."Jesus said, "feed my sheep."

40 - licking wounds (a painful recovery)

Daddy, 
Let these moments not retain within the blog, or this particular time frame where I have been set aside for You. Lord, let this be a part of me, that each cry and each call I sound out to You, help me to really commit and not be satisfied with a "good prayer" or a feel-good obligation.
Here, I want to give You thanks for the growing ministry in Tanjong Pinang. The returning students are a sign, and I pray for You to continue to work in the hearts of many. Your seeds have been sowed way before us, and if we are reaping the harvest now, Lord, provide us with the means. I praise You for the joy and the satisfaction You have allowed us to indulge in You, so Lord I pray for You to continue to be the cause of all the good happenings. This redemption of lives is a noble work, one that is done in Your name, and in all that we do, let it bless Your holy name. Help us to work and develop and stay pure and obedient to Your calling. 
Lord, tonight I want to cry out to You. In all that I have seen, in all that I am continuing to see, will You just fill that hole. The wound dries and breaks, but the complete healing continues to be evasive. Lord, You see my heart, You feel my hurt. I acknowledge Your sign, but really just help me to leave this baggage at the cross. Help me to put down my burden and take on Your yoke, and lead me upon Your path. Help me to let go, and let God. It is difficult with all the overdoing (people can comment for all they want, but perhaps it is the quietest one who has been impacted the most) so Lord, turn my eyes away from those. 
Lord, for tomorrow's meeting, help me to focus on You and help me to be receptive to the progression. May You grant us wisdom and help us to have the vision- Your vision for the group.
Finally Lord, I pray for myself. I continue to struggle in many areas in life. I thank You for the lull period, and thank You for this rich season, but Lord, I continue to be discontented in You. I desire of You more and more, and I pray for Your gifts to be given freely, that I may draw closer to You, that other things will fade in comparison to Your goodness and wonder. 
In Jesus's most precious name I pray,
Amen!

Your child,

Judah

A void you've left; the depart I have yet to accept.
Devoid I was left, the heart I wish it had slept.
Every places and every things,
trigger a feeling deep within.
Hurt heart;
good God.
let go, let God;
an offer I gladly gave nod.

Philippians 3: 8
"What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whose sake I have lost all things.
I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ."

41- peace of mind

Daddy,
The first week has come to an end. Viewing things from outside the circle does indeed give us a better perspective of the entire issue. And as much as each time I thought "this can't be me", it somehow always turn out to be me. "Traveling Light" is speaking to me in a way that has been so evasive for a large part of the recent years. Lord, I do not want to depart, and through each of this, I only pray for You to draw me closer each time.
Today I just want to keep a dear friend of mine in prayer. Each man has his own weakness, and through You we find the strength. A day in the world may be a tough trudge through the marsh, but Lord, I trust in You. Just like how You have brought me out from where I was, I entrust Charlene into Your mighty hands. I wouldn't say I have undergone a complete transformation, but each hindsight just brings me a better testimony, a greater gratitude, a deeper amazement, a more adoring worship. I want to attribute these changes to Your works in my life, and I do not want to claim any of those credits, so Lord, I pray for Charlene, that You will remove all the hurts and pains from her. She has a lot of anger, and a lot of baggages, so Lord, I just want to pray for You to help her relieve. Help her to release these bags to You because You have promised to take them for us. She is Your child, and she wants to follow You. So Lord, I pray for an encounter with You for her. Help her to walk on Your path, and help her to see Your purpose. Turn her eyes away from injustice, and shut her eyes from all the unfairness, but really just impress upon her heart that You are enough. In the midst of all unfairness, in You we find our comfort. Help her to discover the optimism in following You.
Lord, indeed, help us to establish a Holy ground and help us to come to terms with the privilege that Christianity brings about in that that identity allows us to see You in the most common of bushes. Help us to experience Your presence and then acknowledge it, that even though thousand pairs of feet may have passed the same place ten thousands times, but we see You at that place, and that encounter demarcated it's Holiness, that like Joshua, we will take off our sandals and call it the Holy ground- all because of an ability to notice, thus an encounter with You Lord Almighty.
Lord, I also want to pray for the trip tomorrow. This ministry is Your ministry and let not Your servants be tired from it. I pray for Your joy to flow through the team, that positive working relationships will be established and maintained. Lord, I commit the results into Your hands and pray for Your revelation and plan for us. Lord, will You move in this ministry, and encourage us with all positivities. Lord, I continue to entrust this town of people, and pray for You to work mightily in this community.
Lord, I also want to pray for Faith. Thank You for such a wonderful lady, and thank You for keeping her close to You. She is a lady after Your heart, so Lord, I just want to pray for the celebration that we are going to have tomorrow evening, that You will be there amongst us. As she has hoped, Lord, I pray for openness and really enjoyment. That as we dwell in each others' presence, Your peace and love will flow. Let this be a positive platform for Your work. I bless the event in Your name, for all things work for the good of those who love You. Lord, may Your goodness continue to be shown through not only this event or testimony, but may it be a shining light in each of our lives.
Finally Lord, as Sunday draws near. I pray for Poiema. Impress upon the hearts of the leaders what You have for us. Help each of us to avail ourselves to serve You and make that the primary priority in our lives. Help us to see through Your eyes, and help us gain a Godly perspective. May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer (Psalm 19:14). 
In Your Son's most precious name I pray,
Amen!

Your child,

Judah

A message You have sent,
which value worths the children's cents.
In the grip of grace; a benevolent offer of a lighter yoke for the prodigal kid;
By my trip of lace, the malevolent scoffer confuses and rejects to push for an unnecessary hid.
John 3: 16 the lasting promise;
stands firm even beyond every demise.

Ephesians 4: 26
""In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry."

42- delay

Daddy,
This came at a delay. Thank You for ministering to me via a seemingly irrelevant book. I am still struggling to find the discipline to settle down to at least do some reading. I mean I love reading, but I just hate the environment- it never seems right except for when I'm on the train? I would appreciate if there's lesser people, and I don't feel uncomfortable sitting down while other people stand. It seems like a rant, but I do pray for a nice environment when I can really kickstart my resolution.
"Traveling Light" had seemed like an irrelevant book, at least at this point in time when I am more concerned about how to face the people in hall when I have seemingly deserted them during a crunch time, about how to set myself going when the term is passing me by quietly, and quicker than expected too, about how to sustain this difficult walk (supposedly easy). I know about burden, I have watched the Skitguys' play on baggages, I have even written one poem few days back about luggages. But once again, I think I have been proven wrong. Burdens do not only mean those things that seem like burden- sometimes small things- perhaps a little too much of stubbornness, a little too much of independence, a little too much of self-reliance. Things could have been a lot simpler if we follow the best way, the easy way, common way, God's way, but we always choose our ways- the unnecessary detour to demonstrate our self-sufficiency, the extra mile to showcase our capabilities. My fear of persecution and judgement was unnecessary, because those had no bearings on who I am. You look beyond and I thank You for that! 


I guess I have much difficulties putting all that I have gone through today into words, for sharing or for recording, but I just wanna give thanks. Dough McKnight had more blessings than requests in his prayer list despite being hit by multiple sclerosis in the early 30s, I pray for a similar contention, that I would just live out "what I have in my shepherd is greater than what I do not have in my life". It is a difficult conviction, a challenging one, but Lord be my strength. I pray for You to in my heart. 
Today I had my first challenge as a psychology student, hearing things that run in contrary to my belief, that mental illnesses are biological rather than spiritual. A grey area that may not even permit space for a non-mutually-exclusive. Lord, I pray for Your revelation, that You will take away all the ifs, and help me. Help me Lord, to see the truth. Help me to understand Your creations, and help me to know. I continue to seek You in this respect, and let not my faith be shaken, for my life belongs to You!
Lord, today I also want to pray my two sheep (Ryan and Benjamin). I have yet to be in touch with them, but Lord, I thank You for all the goodness and all the blessings You have poured out in their lives. Even more so, I thank You for granting them the excitement to come to Poiema. Hereby Lord, I just want to pray a blessing over them. In Your name, I pray for Your Godly wisdom to be upon them. Grant them the discernment that will bind them close to the Truth. I bless them in their pursuit of studies, that You will smoothen the path ahead of them. I pray for favor, that no matter where they go, they will encounter good people, Godly people who will serve to influence them to be more like You! Lord, I bless this relationship that will be established between me and them, between Daniel and them, between Daniel and me. In You, all things are strengthened, and indeed like what You have said about 2 is better than 1. Let Your glory and goodness thrive in these places.
Finally, Lord, I just want to pray for myself. Lord, let no things be a distraction or even just an excuse to be laid back. Lord, I do not know, but You do. So I just want to commit myself to You. In Your timing, and by Your timing, all things will fall into place, so yes Lord, will You just keep us. Help us, reveal to me my gifting, and I will receive in gratitude.
In Jesus's most precious name I pray,
Amen!

Your child,

Judah

Away I turned I hid my face in guilt;
an abandonment I have chosen, then I chose to be mute.
There is a season for everything the E-book declares,
Abiding in faith, my conviction blares.
A thousand reasons;
an apparent treason.
O Lord, help me, I cry a lonely man.
Your soothing comfort, reminded me of the plan.

1 Samuel 16: 7
"But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.
The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.
Man looks at the outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart."

43- discipleship

Daddy,
The school term has started at its usual slow. Don't really know what to expect and whatever resolution I have made, I really pray hard that I will keep to them. Is 5 a realistic target? I gotta start working soon. A million other things seem so much more enjoyable to do, so Lord, I pray for You to help me focus. Help me to discover the motivation and help me to convert whatever energies I have into doing the things I should do, and keep me from procrastination. Lord, this is a new season I have stepped into. I was close with You, I was convinced, so let me not stray for You. I am a forgetful man, but Lord, You never forget. Hold me close to You and help me to look to You ever more.
Lord, I pray for Gabriel. Thesis seems like a tough things, and he's not having it good in any sense. You have blessed him with good results, and You have kept him close to You. So Lord, I pray for Your peace to be with him. Help him Lord, he's in much struggles. But Lord, I just want to pray for You to grant him Your joy. Take His eyes away from the worries, and be with Him. For all things work for the goodness of those who love You. I thank You for his heart to serve, so Lord, I pray for You to be with him always. 
Lord, I pray for myself too. It seems like a good season, one which I really like. On hindsight only then I realize the joy to be in sync with You. Lord, let me not forget this feeling. I am still feeling good, and things are still pretty much on track, but I pray for You to prepare me. Help me to find strength to go on this path strong, but even more so prepare my heart so that when it finally turns bitter, I will continue to have You with me. Each drop I leak away, Lord, I pray for You to top it up 10 times more. I yearn to serve You, and Lord, let this servitude not fade with time.
Indeed it is a joy to serve You. I thank You for all these opportunities. I pray for You to speak. I have not been earnest enough to hear, but Lord, I pray for a personal encounter with You. Each time I feel away from You, Lord, I pray for You to draw me closer a hundred times. I yearn for the gift of tongues, and as I continue to struggle to maintain a healthy prayer life, Lord, I pray for You to sustain me. Help me to build up this relationship with You in words. Help me to grow stronger in You, and help me to become a better person. Lord, chisel away whatever's not of You, and keep me in Your likeness.
Finally, Lord, I continue to pray for Poiema. My 2 sheep (Ryan and Benjamin), I pray for You to guide them. Develop them and mould them, so that as they grow, their eyes will always be fixed on You and they will grow to become Godly men after You. Lord, I pray for meaningful relationships to be built between us. Above all, I pray for Your guidance on this shepherding. Lord, only You know the plans You have for them, and I pray for Your revelation to unfold before me. 
I also want to pray for closer friends. Lord, I pray for Joel, Faith, Alvin, my sister, Charmaine, Linnette. Lord, these are Your children, and I thank You for each of them. As we all cross into a new year, draw them back to You and help them to live out Your plan more. Lord, I pray for personal encounter for each of them. They are wonderful people, and each has a role to play in Your plans. So Lord, I commit all of them into Your hands, guard them from the temptations of the world, and turn their eyes to You at all times. Whatever it may be, may Your will be done on earth as in heaven.
Lord, I also want to pray for Alicia. Lord, thank You for opportunities and Your arrangement for her to be amongst us. I pray that You will use her mightily. The current job may be tough, but Lord, You are the God of all things. You are the God of provision. So I pray for Your sustenance to be upon her. Lead her as she lives out her life, guide her as she follows You.
Lord, I also want to pray for Tanjong Penang. Thank You for the desires to make changes. Lord, I pray for Your hands to continue to move amongst Your work. May You guide us to where You have designed for us to proceed in. Lord, You know best, and if anything is to come into fruition, it will be of Your will. Lord, I pray for Aunty Steph and Aunty Elisha. These are the people with a burden for the locals, so I pray for You to work through them. Grant them Godly wisdom and discernment as they make the necessary decisions. Lord, I put my faith in You.
Finally Lord, I pray for my hall, and the school's ministry in general. Serving You should not be tiring and we should definitely not burn out from serving You for Your yoke is lighter than ours. So Lord, I pray for You to move amongst the leaders. I pray for a revival, a replenishment. Refresh Your servants, so that they will not be too task-oriented. Lord, fill all of them up, and may Your presence move more mightily than ever in this place. 
In Jesus's most precious name I pray,
Amen!

Your child,

Judah

Sacks, luggages, purses and bags;
with the flow of the world the boy tags.
An exchange between dusk and dawn;
the endless pursuit he has gotten on.
Daddy, Daddy he needs Your guidance; a joy in You he knew he'd gain.
Relief in the silence; an offer he could only amen.

Matthew 11: 28-30
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
