Fighting on Knees:

More often have I heard to take ur prayers to the Lord, kneel.on your knees , keep them at His feet. Also, some fights are won on knees. Until few months , i thought fighting on knees would help me win. And I was confident on this But as days passed , I realized that my perspective was changing.
“first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” Matthew 7:5
There were no more battles between us. Everything had almost diminished and we were together working in harmony.
There was another similar incident and I thought arguments would continue to exist and it was better to part ways than destroy the relation. Days and nights seemed to be more of worries. I had forgotten that we have a loving God who listens to us at all times. We just to need to keep them at Jesus’ Feet and have faith in Him , “ My Lord and My God” John 20:28
We need to stop doubting and believe John 20:27
However, yet again I am convinced that ” fighting on our knees ” would change our thoughts. Letting the other person know, that you have realized your relationship is much more important than a silly difference of opinion… can make arguments vanish. And love can finally take over.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
The peace that He gives us is beyond understanding .
We need to remember to Take it to the Lord in prayer

Identity in Christ

I still remember the day when I cried so loud when my mother bid me good bye at the gates of my school. Now , I was a boarder, which meant I would no more be around my family but with a new set of family, a new home. It seems to be of great fun, but it’s also tough because home-sickness can strike you at any moment.
Today, when I look back I know that this was a preparation for everything else that came into my life. At each step, I was getting less dependant on my parents, new friends became my family, learned to tackle a lot many things without getting over shadowed by the love and care of dear ones.
In this journey of leaving places and people , stepping out of every comfort zones of my life I saw jealousy creep in when I saw the relationship between my friends and God, A hunger to Know Him more, a realization that there is somebody Above who is a friend, a guide to my friends ;Also that He knows me more than I do myself .

“You know when I sit and when I rise;you perceive my thoughts from afar.You discern my going out and my lying down;you are familiar with all my ways.” Psalm 139:2-3

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;”Jeremiah 1:5

“For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb” Psalms 139:13″

“all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” Psalm 139:16

The words were now alive to me.I saw strength building in me, began defeating anxiousness, worries , taking charge of emotions and of course the character building , building of confidence and strength in me and also helped me survive lies of toxic relationships and most importantly reveal the truth about who God says I am,
