Prayers

Started the prayer + fasting yesterday, I must say, it's really difficult. But I have not prayed like I have last night. I got to know God better and it feels fantastic!

Lately, been facing a lot of spiritual struggles, but joining this prayer and fasting that we have in my church opens my eyes to the answers and making my heart stronger than ever. See, that's one of my biggest challenges, I feel as though, if a problem comes along, I feel like my heart is not strong enough to handle it, but talking to God and the right people actually helps a lot in making me feel better.

One thing I also realized when I watched the day 1 of the prayer and fasting service at church (online) was when we pray, we need to ask God to examine our hearts and the most important is to know God better as well. If you would notice, when we pray, we always ask God for something, but it wouldn't hurt if we also thank Him for all the things He did for us, to worship Him and to let Him know how much we love Him. Last night, when I prayed, I felt so connected to God because I did not just ask and ask about what I need, I took time to thank Him first and that was the time I realized/felt how blessed I am. Sometimes, despite our struggles, there are still blessings and we should just take a deeper look.

Today, I kept on talking to God and I can't wait to go home to watch the stream of day 2 of the prayer and fasting at church because I'll learn more about the almighty Lord. I'm getting more and more in love with the Lord and that is the place where I want to be.

According to Pastor Peter from last Sunday service: Talk less, pray more. :)
