Shameless Boldness
Hello Everyone,
Last Sunday, during my message at church, I asked a question - If you get a chance to ask one thing from God, what will that be? I got a few responses, including asking when Jesus would return. I thought about this question before, and my ask will be - Lord make me a man of prayer or help me to have a better prayer life. I am sincere here. When I see the need all around and everything, I do not feel I pray enough. I need more grace to grow in this discipline. The main area is to have shameless boldness in prayer(Luke 11:8). Ask God based on who He is, and not be limited by my expectations. We have used a lot of time for our desires. Let me share something from a letter that John Hyde, a missionary to India, wrote a long time ago -
Have felt led to pray for others this winter as never before. I never before knew what it was to work all day and then pray all night before God for another… In college or at parties at home, I used to keep such hours for myself, or pleasure, and can I not do as much for God and souls?
Health/Personal Update
Thank you for your continued prayers for my complete recovery. This week’s test results were stable. I get a break next week after a long time when I do not have to go for a test. I am trying to find a good rhythm with the new schedule in which I can accomplish everything I usually plan to achieve in a week. This may mean some changes and a few difficult decisions. I will use the next few months to evaluate and figure out what I need to do and what I should stop doing. We all have one life and a very limited time to accomplish our purpose in this world. We cannot spend time on things that do not align with our purpose in life.
