Day #292 : If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is THANK YOU, it will be enough.

It's been long since my last post.

Well , today was a great day, and the greatest of all was the prayer meeting starting about 7pm and last about 11pm.

There's a saying : "God, our Creator, has stored within our minds and personalities, great potential strength and ability. Prayer helps us tap and develop these powers."

Nowadays i used to pray only when i get into troubles and i feel like needing something from Him. When i get into a discussion with the adult sabbath school last saturday, we discussed about prayer. From the discussion, i wrote down Ellen G White quotation about prayer. It said that "Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a FRIEND. Not that it is necessary in order to make known to God where we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer doesn't bring God down to us , but brings us up to Him"

Since then, i was thinking about spending more time to communicate with Him. Yesterday , i attend the prayer meeting and i didn't last well. I was thinking about "this prayer is too long !" bla3 so i ended up chatting with friends. But, something happened when i back into my room. I felt the inner peace and i felt comfortable. I even wake up early in the morning and start reading His words then pray. 

Then, today, i attended the prayer meeting again, and for my surprise, i get myself ready before 7pm. When i pray, i kneel and for my surprise too, i knelled and talked to Him for about 1 hour. Of course my legs hurts but it doesn't matter when my heart hurts more. 

We began the prayer with lot of praise to Him and of course i praise Him for He is full of patience, I sinned a lot, i asked forgiveness, yet He waited for me, called me to come back to Him AGAIN AND AGAIN. Then confession came second. I really have a lot to confess especially the hatred that burns within my heart. The third phase was prayer request. I asked a lot, i know ! After all He is the only one that come to know all my needs. Last but not least, I come with thanksgiving. Here, i have time to reflect what did God do to me. A LOT ! 

The prayer meeting ends today but for sure, it was a good beginning for me , and i am going to keep myself on track with God cause It feels so good to talk to Him !

Albert Einstein said , Life is like riding a bicycle. To maintain your balance, you must keep moving ! 

That's the way. 

Thank God for everything. Thank you so much !

*Testimony : I prayed so God will open any parent's heart to help the Pathfinder in church. And today, I knew God answered my prayer when Tc Kim said she is going to help in Pathfinder. Sooner or later, God answers prayer !
