Dear Jesus .....You Are Coming.....

Jesus you have been so merciful to us and I know you are coming, maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, but very soon. I look at all the disasters, wars, conflicts and all these world events that are happening today and I can see these as the Bible describes signs of the last days before your coming.
Like Johnathan Edwards I resolve frorm this day on to be only content with loving you and the most miserable of all without living each moment for you and to bring glory to your name. If I fall I will get up again because my mission in life is to share the message of your name, the message of salvation.

Jesus I know it you are coming soon. I feel something I cannot explain, but I see the signs and I recognize that this is it. I see the Middle East, I see North America, I see the rest of the world. It is hard not to admit that there is so much chaos and there is no way out, but through faith in you Lord.

Jesus I am disappointed in myself because in the time you have given me I have procrastinated, but your word says Lord that your coming will be like a thief in the night and there will be two people in the field, one will be taken and the other left, two in the bed one taken and the other left. I need you, I want to be with you, I dont want to be left behind. I dont want my family or friends to be left behind.

I had a dream years ago, very vague, I left my home country Jesus but I didnt come back home.

When you come this world will be so confused. If your love does not bring repentance, and for those that do not accept repentance, then they must recieve judgement, but the worse juddgement is not having your presence in the world.

I will write, sing, teach, do whatever I have to do to let others know they must believe. Jesus I need to work on myself, but I dont know how. I am just going to trust and believe and Jesus help my unbelief. Have mercy on us. Lord take control and even so come Lord Jesus come.

I bought a new pocket size bible today. I am planning on reading thru the Bible but reading along with Dr. J vernon Mc Gee. He has an online broadcast radio ministry called thru the bible. I know that there aree many others all over the world studying and reading along with this ministry. We just started the book of Genesis last week so I will keep up. I have to. I have resolved to learn about you only. I want to learn more, I want others to see Jesus through me. I hope others can study with me too. I listen to Thru the Bible on this site and other sermons: www.oneplace.com

I find encouragement through many pastors including Adrian Rogers, Frank Graham, John Mac Arthur, James Macdonald and other pastors.


Jesus, tomorrow is church and I will visit another church, please open my eyes so that I may behold the wondrous things out of your word. I have much on my heart that I need to give to prayer, you know my heart Jesus, my state of confusion where I start and stop, my will, but Lord your will and not my will be done.

Prayer requests:
involvement in what type of ministries: Sunday school, music ministry, discussion groups, writing blogs, photography I just need to start. Take control of my time Jesus.

Dear Jesus

I am learning that I have to be accountable to someone in order for me to get things done and in order to not procrastinate. So, here it goes here is my two month plan. I don't want to think about each stage I just want to get it done. In two months, it is my desire to use my time more wisely. So what is on my mind and in my heart, I am asking God to bless.

Okay, so my tasks for this month:
to complete a focus group PPT on old hymns (it has been something that I started, but never did finish) I want to finish it (I only need to select 12 hymns, research it and create discussion groups based on the hymn)

Number 2 I would like to purchase a camcorder so that I may begin to keep video footages of my experiences. (like a video diary)

Number 3 I need to purchase a new NKJV bible

Number 4 I need to complete sending in graduate school applications.


So this is 4 tasks that I have 2 months to complete starting from today. It may seem simple but for a regular procrastinator this is a huge challenge, but I love Jesus so I am going to make sure that I please Him. My first step is getting organized and following through on desires that have come into my heart.

I am adding a new step, an by no means does an hour seem like enough time, but I just want that hour to learn more about Jesus (whether it is writing a song, reading my bible, watching a bible movie, listening to a program) I just need that hour of uninterrupted time to spend learning about Him and in prayer.

Dear Jesus

I came home today and I spent of my evening surfing the internet for a cheap digital camcorder. I mean I also watched other youtube videos on various topics related to travel and teaching abroad. I think it would be a good idea for me to do a video blog or even if I don't post it maybe I can turn my experiences into a documentary later. I havent read my bible in awhile, the pages are torn and I ordered a new one, but I can't wait for it now,it has been too long. I listen to radio broadcasts on preaching, but I need to read more of the word. Easter is coming and I want to relearn about your death and resurrection. I pray that you can tuch my heart, lips and hands so that I can compose a beautiful Easter song. I thought today to myself that I have procrastinated alot in my life, so now I am making up my mind to work on recording a set of songs, completing my graduate school applications and one more...ummm perhaps creating the best plan for my students this summer. Please help me and remind me that I can do all things through You who strengthens me. Help me to be one after your own heart and for me to pursue YOU first all the days of my life. Help me to eliminate bad habits and distractions from my life.

Dear Jesus

Today on my way home from church I saw an old man sleeping holding onto his accordian. He was wearing a suit, all dressed up. Across his body he wore a banner that had a cross on the front and hallelujah written on the back. I closely scanned him up and down, both his face and his hands showed his age. I thought Jesus look at this man evangelizing. He is in his old age and still seeking to do your will, but I sat on the train thinking about what I have done for you, for the kingdom of God. I have done nothing. I keep saying that you know maybe someday, oneday, or maybe next year, but all those have come so many times and still I have nothing to show for my crown, to hear your "well done thy good and faithful servant." I feel lost. I know what to do, but don't do it, thinking I have all the time in the world like the rich fool. I want to spend more time with you and in your word. I will dedicate more time to you. I thank you for the gifts that you have given me.Show me and direct my footsteps. Everything I do I want to make sure it brings glory to your name. I need you to purify my heart and my mind. Give me understanding of your word, help to encourage me that I can share the gospel with others despite my lack of being the most eloquent speaker. Help me to forgive, to forget what others may think about me and to love with the love of God. I want to live not for myself but for you. Help me to remain focus.

Dear Jesus

My heart feels empty. My heart has not been seeking you in awhile. Instead I have been devoting my time into useless activities (shopping mostly). I haven't been spending time with you and it shows. I feel your absence from me in these past few weeks and I think if you came today you would not be happy with me one bit. My feelings I can't explain...always searching and wanting and getting, but not being satisfied. Jesus, is this what it feels like to be away from you for a few weeks? If so, I don't want to imagine an eternity without your presence at all. Oh, it is so bad when I think about myself and not others. I have been greedy, thinking that now is my time to enjoy all the things that I never had a chance to enjoy as a kid. Selfish me and selfish thinking. I promise Jesus to love you with all my heart and to live to make you happy. Help me to help others, grandma, mom and dad...you know all Jesus and wherever I can help I pray that you use me to help. Help me to be more serious concerning your work and to trust your will and to daily seek you.

I noticed that I don't trust others because I fear the worst, but why? The only one I need to fear is you. Jesus, I keep saying I want to know you better but it seems like it is all talk...what am I doing to know you better? How am I witnessing to others? I am tired of just talk and no action. Please just change my heart Jesus. I know you will be coming back soon and I dont want to serve you merely becasue of fear for living in eternity without you, but for fear and reverence of loving you and what you did for me.

I felt so ashamed that I didn't even remember the coming Easter weekend. I need to be more knowledgeable in the things concerning You. I need to study to show myself approved unto you, so then I am not ashamed and I can distinguish truth. Your word is truth. Jesus help my unbelief, Jesus keep me focus, Jesus help me to share my testimony and to trust you more and more. I want to totally rely on you and not money or the things of this world. They are temporary. Everyone, poor or rich, famous or not will one day leave this earth and enter an eternity where we will have to give an account to you. Remind me of this each day please. One thing we all can't cheat or buy our way out of is death. Everyone is equal in death. I love you Jesus and I want to show it, I will show it. Guide my steps, direct my path and help me to remember and be thankful of your blessings each day I wake up with my breath and the life in my body.

Dear Jesus

I haven't been feeling connected to you as I should. Communication on my part is lacking. Lately I noticed that I have begun to focus on materials. I have this bad habit of looking for good deals on items and purchasing them just because it was a good deal and helped me to save alot more than if I would have bought the item new or elsewhere. My bargain shopping has been my hobby for the past week or so.

I visited a Christian bookstore and bought a book to help me to know you better, but I havent been reading. It feels like I am letting you down. I thought about my life and realize that I havent talked about you much. If someon is in love, that person would want to talk about the significant other.

Jesus, you are the one who knows me best and I only know about the love and mercy given to uss by You. What then is going on? Why do I feel so distracted? Why can't I get my house in order? Jesus I can't do this by myself I am asking that you touch my heart and revive it. Put your desires in my heart continue to grant me perservering faith.
