I must be constantly reminded not to lose heart when I am serving God, although it seems fruitless,b/c I am always receiving mercy from God. Be it service with people, or just bring faithful when I study, work, play, or serving in church, I am receiving mercy from God. vs 7 When I am weak and am willing to surrender to Gpd, I am saying yes God, I want your glory only to be revealed, and not my glory and own strength. Vs8-10 Besides being exhorted to continue to strive for Christ despite all the sacrifices, lack of sleep, and emotional struggles, I am also encouraged to do more for God; be it serving people and Him, or just to stretch more to spend time with Him in His presence alone. Vs 16 Lord I pray that though I may looked like I am wasting away. most importantly renew my heart with a longing for you, love for you, and the desire to want to spend time with u and love you. Let me have concrete joy. love, peace and hope in my heart, as i understand your salvation and love for me each day. Renew me daily so that ppl won't think that I look depressive! >.< vs7 Remind me also to WALK on this earth, to live my life, to do everything, by FAith and not by what I am seeing. Help me to believe it when I pray, help me to believe that your presence is nearer than my breath, help me to believe that u are taking good n tender care of me, and that u love me superly much. vs9 and that whenever i am serving u, it is not outta obligation, but cos I love you and want to put a smile on ur face. vs 10 we should be reminded that we are all gonnna stand before God in judgment one day, so we should fear him and give our best to him. vs 15 we should always be reminded that God has purchased us with a high price (his life), and thus we are not our own. Our money, academic results, body, time, effort, health, and experiences, they all belong to God. we should be faithful stewards 17 in christ we are new, the old has gone the new has come.
