“When you are afraid to walk at night, call Jesus name.”
“When you can not sleep or when you want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, call Jesus name.
“When you are afraid of anything, call Jesus name.
“When you call Jesus, you will not be afraid anymore, you will not feel alone anymore and everything will be alright.
Those are the advices from my primary teacher. I was surprise firstly hearing those advices. It was a good news for me because I will not be alone anymore. It means I always have a friend when I am afraid, alone and can not sleep.
I practiced it when I was nine years old. I was afraid anytime going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. At one night, I was going to the bathroom and all the rooms in my house were dark. As a child, I was afraid if a ghost appear in front of me. “Jesus, please accompany me because I am afraid,” I said. Suddenly, the afraid feeling disappear. From that day, I believe in Jesus name.
Now…. I’m growing up
I ever being in afraid, alone and can not sleep even more than that
Because of the the the dark way in my life, it’s like no hope, no future
I remember “ Jesus name ”
I call him JESUS
I call him JESUS
Then, I feel peacefull ; no fear, no darkness
Because I am not alone
Because He is besides me, the dark disappear
Only the light which shine on me
If till now, I still can breathe
It’s because of your blessing, My Lord
Jeremiah 33:3
3Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
