Prayer On Fire

"You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest, and give Him no rest till He establishes..."(Isaiah 62:6-7).

I love to share with you with exactly what & how the Lord calls us to do for church planting. But before doing this, I want to share more on prayers first, because it is out of this context His calling is revealed. I promise you I start talking about my call in the coming blog message.

Do you pray? Do you love praying? Any struggles in praying?

I pray.
I love to pray.
I struggle a lot to pray.

Thanks God that He gives me mentors to teach me pray.
From Rev. David Ng, I first tasted the sweetness of coming to my Heavenly Father as a kid.
From Robert Mcheyne ("the Life of Robert Mcheyne"), I open my deepest self in honesty through grace before a holy God.
From the missionary James O Fraser ("Mountain Rain"), I was encouraged to start kneeling down for at least 30 minutes to simply enjoy the intimacy. That's when I was in seminary.
From Jason Ma ("the Blue Print"), I learn to wait, wait and wait in prayers.
From a dead man, rev. Chen, I challenge myself to be a watchman to pray overnight once a week.
From Jesus, I learn to surrender my will...

That's my journey. But I still struggle to pray. Struggle to wake up, to stay awake, to stay awake overnight. I could have share some really funny silly experience, lest you think I am charismatic. But there was really silly. Ask me face to face. Yes. I am silly and struggled a lot in prayers. But still I love prayers.

I love coming to my Father, pour out my heart.
I love the presence of the Lord, quiet, so close, tears just flow.
I love to wait till I am sure He is there, till I'm sure He smiles.
I love to flow out my love to you Lord, telling you "I love you Jesus"
I love to say love words, & praise Jesus because He so loves me.
I am so drawn close to him in prayers that I am kind of addicted.

But still I struggle in prayers.
If I have any encouragement to you, it is to pray, to love him and wait for him in prayers. Life will change. The world will change. Nothing will stay the same if you just pray.

But do you really believe He'll answer your prayer, even a short & simple one? I'll tell you a true story in the following blog. Bye!
