Be Still



Greetings to all dear mothers and sisters,

I'm writing to you today with a heart full of warmth. I want to share a recent experience: after undergoing cataract surgery, I could write this message without my glasses. The surgery was swift and impressive, a testament to human ingenuity and the wonders of modern medicine. It made me reflect on the wisdom granted to doctors and the gratitude we should feel for God's blessings. I even found myself praying for the doctor's well-being and soul, as I believe we should pray for those who haven't found Christ.
Now, let's dive into the main message I want to share during these dynamic times: "Be still and know that I am God." Our world is fast-paced, and patience is a virtue we often lack. Impatience surrounds us, from expecting immediate results to instant food and even instant sickness. This hurried mentality affects young people who rush into jobs, marriages, and more without waiting for the Lord's timing. But there's hope in repentance, as our merciful Lord can restore us.
Patience is vital. It's God's will that we wait calmly without irritation, frustration, or anger. If we follow the Bible's advice to wait on the Lord, He will equip us to endure difficulties and delays with composure. Through this, we can find the peace to accept His plans for us.
Dear mothers, patience is particularly crucial for us. We must be patient with our children, spouses, relatives, and those who hold authority over us. Persevering in prayer will help us trust God's superior plans over our short-sighted ones. Being still requires patience, offering stability to bear the inevitable pains we experience.
Waiting on the Lord allows us to witness His work in our lives. If we desire to see God's actions, we must be still and wait patiently before Him. In times of distress, Psalms 46:10 resonates: "Be still and know that I am God." This verse guided me through struggles in raising our children. In moments of limited resources, we turned to our heavenly Father in prayer, yielding to His ways. This stillness is patience in action, and it's rewarded.

The best gift we can give our children is the treasure of patience and faith. 
To be still is to be patient. Faith combined with patience leads to promises fulfilled (Hebrews 6:12). These virtues guide us through life's challenges. The best gift we can give our children is the treasure of patience and faith. As Ralph Waldo Emerson wisely said, "Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." We must pray for them earnestly, as technology tempts them to run after the world. Let's walk beside them in faithful prayer, embracing stillness in every situation.
With love and patience,

With love and patience, 

Rani Dhanraj

My Journey - A personal Story

Greetings to you all in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ dear mother, friends and anyone reading today. I pray and hope you all are happy and healthy by God’s grace. I had a recent heath challenge that I went through   over the last 10 months, I thought I will share with you all and trust it will encourage you. By God’s grace I am back to being able to do all my routine tasks, like taking care of my home, family, cooking, gardening etc., I felt it will be something good to share in order to bring awareness to many women. I read a beautiful quote “Enjoy the little things in life for one day you may look back and realize they were big things” They may be small pleasures but are truly precious. As mothers we overlook this simple joy and worry about what is to come. Life is filled with uncertainties. Enjoy the little things, for they will surely lighten the heart.” I’ve never expected that I’ll get cancer at any part of my life. Never had a family history. I’ve never had a f...

My Son and Me

My beloved son Vijay Peter Dhanraj went home to be with the Lord Jesus on 18th Sept, 2018. Its been 2 years..... So today with a heavy heart I am writing about my son Vijay and me. Indeed it was a real joy to have a son like Vijay. As he was growing up, it was like having Jesus in our home. Never once I remember him saying no to anything we asked him to do. He was a very obedient son. Early in his life he took on the responsibilities of the family.  I remember one time when he was about 4 years old, I had to stay awake taking care of one of my other sons who was a baby, at that time,Vijay was sitting up coughing, I got up to bring water,Vijay told me, mummy you sit with the baby I'll go get it myself.  He is very thoughtful of other’s need. He was hardworking, sincere, faithful & honest. He was a such a blessing wherever God took him. He never asked anything for himself even things like food, clothes, toys etc., he never got what he liked, when he was growing up, he gave ...

Always Pray and Never lose heart

  Greetings to all my dear Mothers and Sisters and all who are reading this today! Hope you all are doing well by God’s grace and mercy, may we remind ourselves that it is indeed God's mercy that we are most privileged people to have life and good health. Let’s not take it for granted dear mothers. I consider each day as a gift from God for me.   I was thinking of the importance of praying through hard times and finding strength in God’s presence. This book was gifted to me by one of my best friend; I felt that it came at the right time, as I read I was blessed and it was very helpful in my present situation hence I thought it will bless you all, so I am sharing a few thoughts on that. “Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the people as much as adversity has.” says Billy Graham. Yes, we lean on God more when we go through adversity than in good times. He allows certain sufferings to certain  people whom he loves, because he wants them to trust Him and com...
