Relying on God in everything

I have been learning to rely on God through prayers as I go about taking care of Candra's daily needs. Truly, our God is with us every moment of the day and He is interested in every little detail. We should never only go to God for "big stuff"...cos He wants us to experience His involvement in everything.

I need God to help me discern Candra's cries. I need God to help expel the gas from Candra's little tummy which causes her discomfort (God has never failed to answer this little prayer of mine :p). I need God to cause Candra to take in full-feeds. I need God to cause Candra to be willing to settle down for sleep. I need God to guide me in Candra's feeding routine and to cause Candra to sleep through the night.

Lately, I have been trying to find out how long Candra can last through the night without a feed. It's really trial and error...but I have been experiencing God's faithfulness in guiding me through the process. With God's guidance, I adjusted Candra's last feeding time from 1+am...to 12+am....to 1130pm at night. Sometimes, Candra's feeding routine in the day may go off track for some reason or another, but God will always help us get back on track at some point.

God is good and He is super interested in our daily lives. Let us not only go to God for "big stuff" or only in times of trouble. We can experience His presence much more if we learn to rely on Him in all things.

There is no prayer which God deems as insignificant.

Hey my dear ah ma! Indeed God is good in ALL times, not just BIG things! =) hope that you'll be able to find joy in the process of bringing this chubby cute lil' girl up! Will keep you and your family in prayers! I am sure whichever way Candra is brought up, God is part of that process! =)
