Right now, while I am waiting for my hearing at the tribunal, it seems to me that this period of time is a time to test my faith, how big faith I really have when I face troubles in my life; will I be dismayed, or will I trust that Heavenly Father cares for me.
2 Peters 5:7 says, Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.
When I see this verse, I realize, there are things that even God cannot do, but whatever He can do to help me, He will do. And as for the things He cannot do, there's no use for me to worry.
I also found a switch in my attitude towards how I should pray for my appeal.
My prayer has included me telling God all the reasons why I should stay in Australia instead of going back to China, though I know fully well that God knows all these, but the focus was pretty much "I" centered. Though those concerns are legitimate, like, I want to worship God freely in this country, and that I still need to go to Living Waters and other services that by no means will become available in China, and that I can receive the healing ministries so much more freely here, and I truly need the healing ministries; but it was still primarily focused on me.
But now, I have shifted my focus.
I have started to pray that God will reflect His image through me, that His beauty may be seen through me; and that when the tribunal questions me, they may see Yahshua through me, so that it's not simply that intellectually they will be convinced I'm a genuine Christian, but that they will see with their eyes, even with their hearts of the beautiful character of God, so I may bring glory to Him.
