Happy New Year!!!!

Today is the first day of year of dog. Having said that, a lot of traditional customs and food are all around me. That remind me of my childhood .... New Year is a BIG day because everyone is happy and only good words are said to each other. Suddenly, I compare these good phrases and my prayers. They are mostly wishes, wishes of different things about different people.
Today's sermon has inspired me of praying. Especially the content of my prayers -
Prayer is a way of communication with God directly through the work of Holy Spirit in my heart. Purpose of prayer is to ask God for giving me wisdom and ability of Holy Spirit in order for me to know Him better. It is only through knowing Him better, we can immitate Him and walk in His way. In prayers, I can express my praise to the glory of my Lord, Jesus Christ; as well as my love to family, brothers and sisters, and my friends who have not accepted God. Pray for my brothers and sister in Christ about their relationship with God and their spiritual growth. Pray for my family and friends about accepting God. Starting this year, I will be putting these things in priority of my prayers.

Song of the day:

我以禱告來到你跟前
我以禱告來到您跟前，我要尋求您，
我要站在破口之中，在那裡我尋求您！
每一次我禱告，我搖動您的手，
禱告做的事， 我的手不能做！
每一次我禱告，大山被挪移，
道路被鋪平，使列國歸向您！



主我是軟弱及無助，您卻是我的力量，
以您親切的手引導我，那就是我的得勝！
每一次我禱告，我搖動您的手，
禱告做的事， 我的手不能做！
每一次我禱告，大山被挪移，
道路被鋪平，使列國歸向您！

Here is my prayer of today:

聖法蘭西斯禱文
使我作您和平之子，在怨恨之中使用您的愛，
在憂傷之中傅送您寬恕，在懷疑之中顯出您信實。

*幫助我不要單單求安慰，更願意努力安慰幫助人，
不求被瞭解，但求瞭解人， 接受愛，更加願意付出愛。 *

使我作您和平之子，在失望之處帶出您的愛，
在罪惡之中發出您的光，在難過心靈播下您的喜樂。 *

使我作您和平之子，願寬恕別人好像您寬恕，
願施與別人好像您施與，願燃燒生命得永遠生命。 *

Amen

Life is not meant to be easy...

This is the name of the latest album by Thomas Li. This is so true, life is not meant to be easy. No matter who you are, what you are from, how rich you are, etc... there are a lot of ups and downs in your life. When is your deepest trough you have experienced so far? Failure? Separation? Sickness? How did you dealt with it? What have you learnt from there? We people always tend to choose an easy way, however, at the end, this way could not be the best way. We are so limited and weak. Only God who can help us to choose the best way. That way could not be easy from our eyes but it must be the best to us. Trust Him and we will be succeed. Depend on Him and we will be safe. Look at Him and we will be clear. Listen to Him and we will be wise. I pray for my family as they are still bind to my Lord. I pray for my friends as they are walking in a dangerous road. May God safe them, select them to be your children. I hope I can do my best to reflect the glory of God to them.
