Week 70B - Prayers, belief
I pray Lord... I pray. Even with exams looming around the corner, i pray for things to happen. And wait in expectation. Things are tough, i feel like giving up almost every day, but i want to have that faith. These are not new prayers, but how many of us can say we understand every word we pray to God? I want to understand. God, please tell me why. I will ask, and ask, and ask. For as long as i live. (:
I pray for courage, the nerve that seems to have crumbled and faded into distant memory. The courage to do things and not be conscious of others' opinions, and know that it is You who judges, not others. The courage and confidence to look people in the eyes and not shun away, be it shyness or fear. 
I pray for friendship, the renewal and building. The friendship that is not measured by situations on the outside, the facades and pride and position.
I pray for love, agape and pleasing to You. The love that stems from the source which You gave, the cup of communion which we drink and the bread we partake every week, that speaks of a fragment of that great love You had when You sent Jesus Your only son to die for our sins. 
I pray for knowledge, that self motivation of increasing our skills and wisdom to be more like You, and to use them to further Your kingdom and not to our own selfishness. 
I pray for purity. Having a pure heart, being close with people yet guarding it well with our lives. Checking our thought life every moment of our lives, even as we are immersed in the world. Hating sin just as You hate them, striving to be as holy as You.
I pray for sincerity, that stems from within. Too often have people around us fail us, but i pray that our response will still be true and mean what we say, walk our talk. Not about the face value, but seeing within, just as You see our hearts and not on the outside. 
I pray for hope. When all seems lost, when all seems down, we praise You still. We win, we praise You, and we lose, we praise You too. The hope and belief that nothing can bring us down, as long as we are with You Father. Importantly, hope in people too.
I pray for light. Being the salt and light of the world is definitely not easy, yet by calling us to be salt and light You know our abilities and believe in us. The light that shines forth, the light that demonstrates who You are in our lives, i pray for that.Prayers work wonders. Lord thank You! Perservere... (:
