Prayer list.

I have a praying list. I never really wrote a prayer list before because I think it's bit rude to make a list and expect God to fulfill them. I view them as demanding for God's attention and mercy. It's like a shopping list, going down the list and ticking them one by one.

But, after numerous of sermons and talks on prayer and how a prayer list works, I decided to make one.

So.. here I go.

(1) After talking to Sean, I decided to pray for him. Especially when he told me that his dad's starting a new church. His dad's a senior pastor at ACF Rowville. His decision to leave his well-planted church is a really brave decision. It must have took him courage and a real big faith to make that choice. I know his dad will need the prayer of the World to start a new church from scratch. Yes u heard me, from scratch. Actually, I admire him. Sean said they are starting small in their house and building from there. So, I'm asking God to provide and give the family hope and faith and guidance. I know something big will happen!

(2) I've been praying for this for almost a year. I've been asking God to help with daddy's retirement. Long story cut short. My dad's a govt' worker in Malaysia. He has been applying for his retirement and pension so he can come to live with us. Daddy's been away for almost a yr already, only back here for holis. My family so desperately want daddy here. So, I've been praying really really hard for God to speed up the retirement process.

(3) Praying for a job. Needless to say, I have been praying really really hard too.

(4) I'm praying for Grace too. Grace moved to Bendigo to do dentistry and she is having trouble adapting to Bendigo. Seriously, she got to a breaking point state and at a point she wanted to give up. So my prayer goes to her. I pray that God will give her the strength to carry on. And pray that the Lord will be with her every step of the way. I pray for the power of God to work in Grace.

(5) I've also been praying for strength to fight temptation. Won't go into further details tho. Just everyday temptation. I actually managed to resist a few temptations with God's help which is a very good feeling. It is a feeling of self-achieved through self-control. I feel proud of myself.

The list will end here until I think of some more to add on. Those people that I'm praying for do not have a slightest idea that I'm praying for them.( until they read this of course) LOL.

I have been praying long and hard for most of these items and God hasn't answered me yet. It's a wonder that I still have faith to keep on praying, believing that a change and miracle will happen.

People, help me pray for these items in ur own time. Much appreciated!!
