Last Thursday during cell group was an evening of Prayer. Our cell leader Addie wanted us to truely practice in hearing the Lord and to pray for others. So we paired up with a cell sister and started to pray. Before the prayer, we all have to spend a minute praising God vocally and openly in order to lift up our spirit and then we hear what Rhema or Word God tells us to pray for the other person. The 1st prayer was quite amazing as both my prayer partner and I have the same Word from the Lord, LOVE. And our prayer for each other is different eventhough it's the same Word. What truely amazed me is that my prayer partner prayed that the Lord will soften my heart. Praise God! My prayer partner doesn't really know me well and in fact in the cell group, no one ever suspects I have a "hard heart". In many ways I have been through many relationships and with my job of constantly moving, I have to toughen myself in order to make sure I "survive". And My Heavenly Father, I do so much want to soften my heart. So THANK YOU and PRAISE YOU LORD for giving me those Words.
After the 1st prayer we changed partners and do the same thing again. This time my prayer partner gave me a verse, Matthew11:28-30 "Then Jesus said, Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light." PRAISE YOU LORD! Again it's true that I tend to take on alot because I think I can. I also am not good at asking for others to pray for me or even to pray for myself. I do feel weary and sometimes even want to give up but I still have not learned to depend on the LORD and give Him my burden.
Thank you Lord for You are truely awesome! You have given me your Words through my beloved sisters, your beloved children. I faithfully pray that I will heed Your Words and soften my heart and come to You for rest! Amen!

Yeah! Prayer is so wonderful. And thanks for leaving comments at my blog too. It's so great to walk in him together so closely, though we are so far apart physically.
Oh, and there's a really really good book I've been reading recently. It's called "Battlefield of the Mind". Highly recommended!!! Go check it out! Hope you'll also be blessed thru it.
Cheers.
