Here, vandag wil ek net voor U stil raak. Here plak 'n pleister om die eina van my hart en vee af daardie sonde wat die liefde en vede in my hart so verdring. Here soen weg my vrese, en salf my liggaam, my verstand, my gees, my verstandhart, my siel, salf dit alles met U bloed Here.
Here lei my dan na daar waar U my wil he, daar waar ek vir U moet werk. Kruisig my hande en my voete sodat hulle onselfsugtug vir U kan werk. Sit die doringkroon op my kop, sodat ek nederigheid met my kan saam dra en was my mond uit met gal sodat ek my woorde sal tel.
Vader rig my op, laat my straal van liefde en vrede, vergifnis, lof en aanvaarding.
Amen.

Trek U die grense om ons!
My Hemelse God en liefdevolle Vader. Here vandag wil ek U prys vir die verligting wat U aan ons situasie geskenk het Vader. Here dit is so maklik om ongesteld te raak oor dit wat ander ons aan doen, maar Here vandag wil ek vir U hierdie situasie gee sodat U dit vir ons kan bestuur. Vader trek n grens om ons en stel perke Here sodat ons nie verder verbrysel word deur die onreelmatige gedrag van die wat teen ons is nie Here. Trek U Engele in n laer om ons soos dit in die Psalms staan. En Here hou ons koppe hoog, ons integniteit in plek en ons emosies onder beheer. Vervul ons met U liefde, geluk en vrede. Laat ons van U genade straal en laat ons reaksies op die aanval wat ons beleef van U getuig. Mag ons aan die einde van die elende nie net meer van U weet nie, maar mag ons U meer intiem leer ken. Ons prys U Here vir n nuwe dag vol genade. Amen!

A VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on theProblem Science haswith GOD, the ALMIGHTY.
He asked one of his New Christian Students
Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GODto Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent )
Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, YoungFella.
Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did makeeverything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?(Student did not answer)
Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don'tthey?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?
(Student had no answer)
Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . .. Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for thatmatter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you sayto that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor : Yes,Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )
Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat,Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat,but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just theAbsence of it.
(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )
Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing asDarkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light,Flashing Light . . . But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothingand its called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make DarknessDarker, wouldn't you?Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there is Life and then there is Death, aGood GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as somethingfinite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but hasnever seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to beignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing. Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence ofit. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Studentsthat they evolved from a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process,yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize wherethe Argument was going )
Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolutionat work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-GoingEndeavor, Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
(The Class was in Uproar )
Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen theProfessor's Brain?
(The Class broke out into Laughter )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor'sBrain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . . No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical,Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust yourLectures, sir?(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his faceunfathomable)
Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
NB: I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . and if so . . ..You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . .won't you?Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . . or FAITH.

Die Here sal julle seën en julle beskerm!
My Hemelse Vader, God van Hoop en God van Genade.
Here God, baie dankie vir die geskenk van 'n nuwe dag. Baie dankie vir die geleentheid om vandag ons pad saam met U te loop en te doen wat U vir ons beplan het. Her dankie dat ons almal gesond kon wakker word en dat ons die nuwe dag as 'n gesin kan aandurf.
Here ons tyd word reg oor die wereld gekenmerk deur swaarkry en dan ook die depresie wat daarmee saam gaan. Here vandag wil ek vra dat U elkeen van my gesin en my familie en al ons spesiale vriende sal beskerm teen gevoelens van negatiwiteit en depressie en frustrasie.
Mag ons vas hou aan die woorde van die bekende lied, Ons is almal hier te saam: "Tot die dood was Hy getrou en daarom is ons nou Sy eiendom." Here mag ons vas hou aan U beloftes wat U aan ons gemaak het.
Here maak ons vry van vrees en ander negatiewe emosies wat ons na onder trek. Here gee dat ons siels geluk en vrede in U sal ontdek.
Vader herorganiseer vandag ons prioriteite vir ons sodat ons dit kan doen wat vir U belangrik is. Here vandag spreek en die volgende skrif uit oor my gesin en familie en vriende:
"Die Here sal julle seën en julle beskerm; die Here sal tot julle redding verskyn en julle genadig wees; die Here sal julle gebede verhoor en aan julle vrede gee." (Numeri 6:24-26)
Amen.
