Today’s Verse:
"Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." - Psalm 139:23-24
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thankyou for teaching us through Psalms. Thankyou for teaching us through the experience of Your faithful servant King David. Throughout Psalms, we can see and feel the many characteristics of King David, we can see very clearly the weakness of mankind, we can see very clearly the way he put his trust in You for each and everything.
Father, no matter what the outward circumstances look like, help us to bring our trouble and anxiety to You, through prayers, just like King David.
Father, let nothing separate us from You, let us be happy and joyful in any situation, by holding on to faith, hope and love in You, just like King David.
Father, let us have the willingness to admit and repent our sins to You, just like King David.
Lord, You know us better than we know ourselves, help us to search our hearts everyday, help us to earnestly admit to our sins in thought, word or deeds, help us to pray and repent to You. Lord, cast out all wickness that may take root in us and protect us from the evil so that we may, one day, enjoy the life of everlasting with You.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Today’s Verse:
"Be still, and know that I am God" - Psalm 46:10
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
How much plainer and simpler can you explain this truth to us? That You are our God, who is an absolutely and infinitely perfect being, who is above all comprehension and who has the sovereign over all things.
Father, sometimes we will become all grumpy and mad about our daily problems, remind us to be still and know that You are God. Remind us of Your great works and remind us to count our blessings. For You are our Almighty God, who will definitely deliver us from terrible things and show us Your greatness, mercy, power and sovereignty.
Father, forgive us for being ignorant, forgive us for having these childish, immature and juvenile unbelieving thoughts, forgive us for dishonouring You!
God, You promised that You will never leave us or forsake us, You promised to have a good plan for us, You promised to give us sufficient grace, You promised You will heal us and deliver us, You promised to continue to mold us and change us until the day of Lord Jesus.
Father, let us be still and dwell in Your calmness and anchor in Your peace.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Today’s Verse:
"Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. " - 1 John 3:2
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
We are Your children. We should have characteristics like loyal, honest, kind, brave, loving, obedient, grateful and humble.
Father, we may not be as perfect as Jesus right now. Worsen, we may be in different stages of our lives right now, holding You responsible for our lives being messed up in one way or another. Father, Your grace is sufficient for us. Father, You give us free will and You promised that You will never leave us or forsake us. Anytime, when we are ready, You will welcome us into Your arms like the father of the prodigal sons.
Father, You are the architect and we are Your construction. Bit-by-bit, under Your caring and supervision, the bricks, beams and piles of sand will start taking shape in us. Maybe we are not what You have planned for us to be at the moment, but we trust You, we trust that You will continue Your good work in us.
Father, what's going on in our lives right now may be gloomy, maybe we cannot even see our future right now. But, Father, what we will be has not yet been made known to us yet, and when things come together, we will see Your good intentions.
Father, no matter how many times we fall, help us to stand back up by faith.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Today’s Verse:
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." - 1 Corinthians 15:58
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thankyou for this word of encouragement.
For years, we have built up all sorts of habits, good or bad. From our childhood, we learnt that we should brush our teeth twice everyday, we learnt that we should flush the toilet after use, we learnt that we should be polite, we learnt that we should go to church every Sunday and confess our sins...Still, we picked up some lousy and naughty routines on our way.
Lord, free us from these terrible additions, the strongholds in our lives. Grant us the strength to admit to our limitations, grant us the wisdom to figure out "evacuation" plans, grant us the endurance to carry out such plans, grant us determination to stay away from any temptation and grant us victory to win over our strongholds in Your glory.
Lord, we are also called to love our neighbours as ourselves. Help us to stand firm to our faith, so that we may spread Your words and encourage the people around us. Help us to learn to abide in Jesus so that His life can flow through us (John 15:7 KJV), so that through us, the people around us may be inspired.
Lord, nurture us, guide us and teach us how to live our lives for You, how to be good christians.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Today’s Verse:
"and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done." – Psalm 62:12
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
Don't we all like rewards? After working really hard, we will reward ourselves, by going to a fancy restaurant for dinner, by seeing a movie, a stage play or an opera, and perhaps by going on holiday trips, to Japan, Europe or Australia.
We like to receive rewards / compliments from others as well, we will also welcome bonus, compensation, honour, prize or trophy.
God needs us to do His work in this world, the place which so many people need help every second. And, as His followers, we are taught to live upright, we are taught to be nice to people and we are taught to do good deeds all the time, wouldn't it be marvelous if God will reward us accordingly?
Lord, by listening more and more to Your words, we receive more and more nourishment on our spirits. This is already our greatest reward from You. Although, we also craved for all these earthly things, but we trust that You will give us only the best. Grant us peace in our hearts.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thankyou for teaching us to hold on to faith through this miracle, which is about Peter, accomplishing a seemingly impossible task - walking on the waters of the Sea of Galilee. He held on to faith, rested his eyes on Jesus and walked on water towards him.
Father, we understand that the water and storm in this story symbolised the problems we encountered in our Christian's lives. Father, teach us how to walk on water like Peter.

Father, help us to be like Peter, who lost faith when he saw the fierce wind and waves, but cried out immediately to Jesus for help.
Father, help us to be like Peter, who recognised Jesus, as "Truly you are the Son of God."
God, don't we all like to arrive at our destination in spite of any troubles or severe problems on our way? God, make haste to help us. God, urge us to have the boldness to cry out to Jesus, when we experience difficulty, distress, nuisance, sorrow, trial, worry or tribulation. God, give us the confidence to hold out our hands, expecting Jesus, who will definitely catches us by his gracious hands and raises us above these seemingly impossible surroundings.
Father, though we may not walk across the water in ease, we may not walk across these faith-testing circumstances so simply, but do help us to hold on to faith, always. Because You are our Heavenly Father, who will never leave us or forsake us, who will definitely save us from sinking into despair, who will surely rescue us using Your miraculous powers when we cry for help.
In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen.

"A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense. " - Proverbs 19:11
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
The discretion of a man is the deferreth of his anger? Father, slow to anger is very hard to do! Everyday, we face people with a temper, people who will raise their voices, people who will scream, people who will shout, people who will swear and people who will bring anger into action... What do You expect us to do? Not to show our anger? Not to fight back? Or let these people to slap our right cheek after they slapped our left?
Father, we know! Even when we have anger in our hearts, we should not show it immediately because we need time to reconsider whether we have offended the other person in the first place. Father, help us to forgive them, help us to assist these people, as there must be some previous wounds and hurts hampering them from the inside.
Father, so often our good intentions turned out to be disasterous. Father, so often we want to do good, but turned out sour. Father, it is hard to face up to the mistakes that are in our lives. Father, teach us how to forgive, how to excuse other's wrongdoings as well as to pardon ourselves from the guilt of wrongdoings.
Father, You are the way, the truth and the life. Help us to feel Your goodness, help us to gain strength in You, help us to become slow to anger and show us the way to practice forgiveness, just as Jesus who have forgiven those who mistreated him.
Grant this through Juesu Christ our Lord. Amen.

Today’s Verse:
"In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness." - Hebrews 5:12-13
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
As mature christians, we always pray to you in all circumstances. We pray to share our everyday lives with You, Lord. We pray to worship You at church, Lord. We pray to express our hearts' desire, to express our gratitude to You, Lord. We pray to tell You about our day at work, our frustration, our joy and satisfaction, Lord!
Father, praying to You is our rights and we treasure that. Father, teach us to response to our "rights to pray" by communicating with others. By communicating with others, educate us to be a good listener, instruct us to be a good sharer and guide us to be a good preacher.
Father, we know that the more spiritually mature we become, the less we will “say” and the more we will “listen”. Thus, Father, don't give us milk and honey everyday, give us solid food! Allow us to grow in Your words and dwell in Your inspiration! Encourage us to console more, but to be consoled less, encourage us to understand more, but to be understood less and encourage us to love more, but to be loved less.
Grant this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Today’s Verse:
Then Jesus said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!" Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." - John 20:27-29
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
How often do we hear these great miracles, signs and wonders performed by false Messiahs, false prophets, and false apostles? Lord, these so-called political and religious leaders seduce us with their sweet tooth and polished speeches! Lord, help us to stand firm and resist these satan's baits, help us to be strong in You and stay away from these spiritual deceptions!
Jesus said "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.". Indeed! Father, we know You by our life experiences, by our knowledge in Your words and by our familiarity with Your followers. Father, we felt fastrated, angry, loose-hearted, disappointed, let down and puzzled when we didn't see "our wishes being granted", but, is this really a valid reason for us to leave You and go to other "gods"? Is this really a valid reason for us to sell our soul in exchange of fame, fortune or health?
Father, in the past, we tried to trust You with all our hearts and all our souls, but so often, we failed to do so, just like Thomas, who doubted Your powers. Father, refresh us today and make us new. Father, grant us courage to study Your words everyday. Father, grant us the wisdom to distinguish between the truth and deception. Father, grant us the faith to hold on to You when catastrophes hit us. Father, bless us, because we have not seen but have believed.
Grant this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Today’s Verse:
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." - Philippians 4:12
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
How wonderful would it be if the sky may stay blue always? Then we don't have to worry about the rain, the storm or any other natural disasters. Isn't life the same? How wonderful would it be if all of us may stay healthy, wealthy and in love? Then we don't have to worry about anything, but live our lives to the full potential.
Are we enslaved to the details of life? Are we being greedy? Are we striving for better qualities of life everyday? If so, when will be able to mature in Christ and rest in peace? Father, help us to realise what life really means. We don't have to live in Mid-Levels, to live in the best neighborhood in town to be happy!
Father, teach us to focus on You, above all earthly things. Father, teach us to be content. Father, teach us to rejoice in Your name, without concerning our status, whether we are well fed or hungry, whether we are living in plenty or in want. For we know that You feed the birds in the air, You clothe the lilies in the field and You dress the grass with Your splendor. How much more will You clothe us, feed us and care for us?
Father, teach us to be content and patient, in times of long-suffering. Father, hold us with Your powerful, gracious hands and lead us to accomplish Your purposes in our lives.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

For we know that You feed the birds in the air, You clothe the lilies in the field and You dress the grass with Your splendor. How much more will You clothe us, feed us and care for us?
Father, teach us to be content and patient, in times of long-suffering. Father, hold us with Your powerful, gracious hands and lead us to accomplish Your purposes in our lives.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Today’s Verse:
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance." James 1:2-3
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
Everyday, we face trials of everykind. The most common challenge comes from the unbelievers, questions like "Does God exist? Are the claims of Christ true? How can I know?" Father, help us to try our best in answering such questions, however, help us to also understand that the true answers can only be from God and from the person's own investigation and experience.
Thankyou for teaching us through the book of James. Thankyou for giving us the formula "TRIAL => TESTING => PERSEVERANCE => MATURITY", through trial produces testing of faith, through testing of faith produces perseverance and through perservance produces maturity in Christ.
Father, when we are faced with hardships, unjust treatments, serious illnesses, financial crisis, or even a life of poverty without hope of improvement like James, help us to rejoice in Your name, help us to feel the honour to be tested in such circumstances, because God, You are faithful, You only wanted to give us the ability of patience and endurance, You only wanted to improve our quality of faith!
Father, it is wrong to stop trusting and start worrying merely because of these trials. Father, help us to rejoice in Your grace, help us to be humble, help us to continue to seek for happiness in and from You, so that one day, our faith — of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire — may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. (1 Peter 1:7)
May all the praise and worship be glory to God.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Sometimes, we will praise You for such a wonderful day, that everything turned out smoothly, yet, most of the time, we will grumble and mumble to You because of some pleasant or not very amusing surprises came up.
Father, teach us how to rely on You and to lean on You in everything that we do. Father, teach us how to pray to You always. Father, teach us not to be anxious about anything. Father, teach us how to praise You and give Thanks to You despite of the circumstances.
Father, nuture us in Your words.

Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thankyou for Your unfailing love. Thankyou for senting Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to this world to be our light and our hope.
Lord, there are so many things which we hope for, health, success, security, peace, joy, love and more. Though, many times, things fell short of our expectations and they didn't turn out as we have hoped for. We didn't know why and we may never know why. God, send us Your blessings in such times of disappointment.
But we all know that love never fails. Lord, You are a loving God and we trust You. We trust that You will only prepare the best for us. We trust that You will only grant us what we have hoped for, in Your perfect timing. We trust that You didn't give us what we have hoped for, only because You have better plans and arrangements for us ahead.
Thankyou Father. We know that You are faithful and You will keep Your promises: to love us, to cherish us, to treasure us and to take care of us until the day we meet again.
God, we put our utmost confidence in You, for You will surely lead us to fulfillments far greater than anything we could attain for ourselves.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Though, many times, things fell short of our expectations and they didn't turn out as we have hoped for. We didn't know why and we may never know why. God, send us Your blessings in such times of disappointment.
But we all know that love never fails. Lord, You are a loving God and we trust You. We trust that You will only prepare the best for us. We trust that You will only grant us what we have hoped for, in Your perfect timing. We trust that You didn't give us what we have hoped for, only because You have better plans and arrangements for us ahead.
Thankyou Father. We know that You are faithful and You will keep Your promises: to love us, to cherish us, to treasure us and to take care of us until the day we meet again.
God, we put our utmost confidence in You, for You will surely lead us to fulfillments far greater than anything we could attain for ourselves.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Today’s Verse:

Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
Today is the anniverary of Tiananmen Square Massacre. Thankyou Father for reminding us that these people sacrificed their lives for what they believed.
Father, we cannot even start to imagine the number of Your fervent servants who died over the past 2010 years, trying to spread Your words. We would like to spend a moment to pray for them on this memorial day.
Father, we pray that out of Your glorious riches You will bless Your servants:

Father, we pray that out of Your glorious riches You will bless Your servants:
- so that they may maintain solid family relationships, through the strength of Jesus Christ, for the devotion in full-time ministry, may cause all kinds of misunderstanding within the family.
- and grant them wisdom, to handle their emotional feelings such as loneliness, discouragement and despair.
- and grant them their physical needs, especially, financial support, which can be burdensome. We pray that God will supply their every need in His perfect timing.
- so that they may have good physical and spiritual health. We pray that they will continue to have strong relationship with You, through daily devotion.
- so that they may maintain good relationship with co-workers, for it is Your love that brings people together. We pray that, by learning the unselfishness, kindness, and humility of Jesus Christ, that they may resolve any personality conflicts and relationship struggles between them.
- and grant them the ability to do and continue to do Your work.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Today’s Verse:
And God said to Jacob, "I am God Almighty ; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you." - Genesis 35:11-12
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
God, You are so faithful, You are the God of second chances. In the story of Jacob, we learnt that he went to his father deceitfully, pretended to be Esau and received from his father, the blessings of the firstborn. Jocab left home for many years and returned finally. At the end, he received blessings from You. Father, Thank you for your teaching through the life of Jacob. It is inspiring to know that God, You have given him a second chance to live his life gloriously.
Lord, help us to forgive those who hurt us, help us to see through this pain and angry feeling which is torturing us. Help us to practice Your teaching "Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold." Lord, if there are any hidden negative feelings in us toward the people who hurt us, cleanse us and help us to replace these negative emotions with Your fruitful blessings.
God, give us wisdom to manage our anger in the future.
Lord, help us to forgive ourselves. Help us to have the courage to ask for forgiveness from the people we hurt. Father, we ask You to heal us right now, heal the wounded places in our souls! Thankyou Father, for it is hard to face up to the wrong doings in our lives.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Today’s Verse:
Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. - Matthew 8:24-26
Prayer for Today :
Dear Heavenly Father,
So often, we're scared by the circumstances around us. So often, we believe in what we see and feel, hear and touch.
Jesus, help us all, to step out in faith, put on the armour of God and take our rightful moves towards our future. Remind us to believe and to trust in You, when we see the stings and arrows that Satan is firing at us. Remind us that we are not helpless, we are not weak. All we need is to turn our hearts towards You and walk boldly.
For everyday is a new day, a new opportunity to prepare ourselves to focus our minds and hearts on You Lord. Maybe we didn't look like a role model of faith yesterday, but it's never too late to grab hold of the second chance and try again today.
Pray in faith, without a doubt that God cares about you.
Pray in faith, without a doubt that God loves you.
Pray in faith, without a doubt that prayer is powerful and effective.
God is listening, He cares and He will help.
Amen.

Father, be the energy in our body, help us to be able.
Father, be the toughness in our body, help us to be patience in times of pain.
Father, be the courage in our body, help us to endure the suffering.

So that we may give praise and honour to Your name.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
