Abide with Me

Abide with Me
If I find myself in the middle of the battlefield of life, with no weapon in possession and no help in sight, I can take comfort in the victory of your presence. I can lose all that I have amassed from this life and all that I have called mine in this fading world, and yet be the victor because you are with me.


Though my enemies bury my nose into the ground and kick dirt into my face, yet victory is mine, because you are with me. If you will abide with me through the deepest valleys of life, though no one else will accompany me to those pits of darkness, I will live and will surely not die.


I ask not for vengeance, I ask not for vindication. I ask only for your presence, your company, your comfort. Even if I have to go where no human presence can be found, where there is only darkness and sorrow and doom, your presence will be my deepest consolation.



Sherman Kuek



O help of the helpless, abide with me...

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.


Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me.


I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if thou abide with me.


Help of the helpless, O abide with me...

Prayer Walk

It's been a while, I have not blogged. Busy with work, busy attending back-to-back weddings, etc.

Last saturday, woke up at 4.30am, the song, "we walk the land, with hearts of fire, and every steps, will be a prayer,.." Yeah, it was the morning to meet at 6am to run for the nation. The prayer walk in Cheras. Our group covered Cuepacs area, an area full of nice houses and few schools. Despite the lots of car and steep uphill to our final point, the walk was really meaningful. It's not an ordinary walk. It's a walk to pray for Cheras community. Felt good and felt being energised, despite only had less than 5 hour sleep, and a late OT the night before. Being able to set a side time for things other than self-focus and work-focus..it's something energising and something that I don't normally do previously.

Season of change..for a better...a year of God's possibilities.
