Ich bete.....I pray

Dear Lord

There is something weighing on my mind. I want to pray for peace and patience to deal with the issue when the time comes. The plan is for us to get back to Singapore and get a flat. While we plan to purchase the flat using our CPF, the concern now is renovation. I do not mind a simple flat with minimum decorations as long the basic necessities are there. A simple flat with basics such as the stove, washing machine etc would be good enough. The flooring does not need to be expensive or extremely pretty. It just needs to be simple and pleasant to the eye. This is all I ask for.

However, it seems like he wants everything to be perfect. Perfect colour combinations and so on. Am I reading the wrong signals? I hope so. We do not really have the money to live a life of luxury. A simple life will do. I know he wants things to be perfect for the both of us. But at the same time, I hope that he knows his limits too.

The money can be put to better use such as education and travelling.

I pray for patience so that I will not worry. I pray for peace so that I can enjoy the moments now. I pray for harmony between the two of us when we have conflicting views. I pray for strenght and luck to bring us through the next few years which will be challenging as we embark on our new chapters together.

All we want is to be together and share a life. Teach us to focus and not be distracted by things which are not that important.

Teach us to have faith in you and believe that as long as we do out part, our Saviour will take care of the rest.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
