Today's Verse:
"For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building." 1 Corinthians 3:9
Heavenly Father,
There's a co-worker of Yours, Joyce Meyer, who said "Are you, or someone you know, going through a difficult time? Has a crisis come your way that threatens to overwhelm you? Could you use some help? Everyday Answers provides wisdom from God’s Word to help deal with life’s difficult issues." She has a section in her blog called "Everyday Answers" which contains a list of very interesting topics and answers.
There are two most difficult problem we face Lord:
1/ Battlefield of the Mind
Father, we are overwhelmed by crisis on a daily basis. This seems to be a "never ending story", because the world is full of problems. It could be us or it could be our love ones who falls into the satan's trap. And these issues could be just big enough to make us feel so frustrated. Father, may You send angels to us, to smoothen our hearts in these times of trouble, may You grant us peace in heart. Father, let us count our blessings and focus on You and You alone when we fall into any satan's trap. Father, remind us once again that You are the ONE and ONLY ONE that is in control. Father, remind us that You are the ONE who has our best interest at heart. Father, as it is written "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:5), help us to discipline ourselves in Your words each day.
2/ Pleasing People
Father, since birth, we have been trying to please the people around us, at first, our parents and close relatives, then teachers, friends and later, our other-half... Father, we are living in such desperation, to obtain acceptance from others. Father, help us to choose, not our lives in such misery, help us to choose to live in Your love. For father, our hopes, dreams and future are in You and You alone. As Paul said "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:17-19)" Let us practice to love one another, as You have loved us.
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.

Father, do we deserve any of this love and grace You grant us? No, only through the blood of Lord Jesus.
Father, You are God of heaven and earth, You are the light of the world, we are more than Thankful to be able to pray to You everyday, to share with You our problems, worries, happiness, joyfulness and desire. Thankyou Father for promising never to leave us or forsake us.
In return, we don't want to miss our on Your destiny. God, we want to be part of Your mission, Your mission to spread the gospel around the world. We want to be submissive and we want to be able to sacrifice whatever it takes to do just that!
Lord, sometimes we feel that we were so messed up, we were full of guilt and shame, and we were so terribly scared that we would choose to run away from You. Whilst in other times, we just want to confess to You our wrongdoings and let You to wash us clean. We seemed to have no time left to do any missionary work for You Lord... Please Father, next time if You to us "Whom shall I send?", let us response with "Here I am Lord".
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.

Today's Verse:
"As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him. " - 1 John 2:27
Heavenly Father,
This is a new day of the Chinese New Year, a new start, a new beginning for us all.
Father, everyday there will be things that happen in our lives, not in our liking. Father, everyday, we will be worried, stressed and impacted by these "things". Father, help us, help us and help us, to focus our hearts and minds in You!
It is written in the gospel of John, Jesus said "You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me." John 15:3-4, which means "The truth of Christ, abiding in us, is a means to sever from sin, and unites us to the Son of God".
Therefore, Father, we must look upon You, to seek for Your greatness, power, and goodness. Father, grant us kindness, mercy, forbearance, grace, perseverance...so that we may serve one another, like Jesus Christ, who has served us.
Father, we love You and we cherish everyday You have granted us so far. As we look forward to the days to come, let us remember to count our blessings. Father, although, our lives may be tough right now, we should always rejoice in the Lord. As Glorie Abelhas expressed "Good fortune shies away from gloom. Keep your spirits up. Good things will come to you and you will come to good things."
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
