To be honest, I couldn’t do sharing without prayer. If I didn’t pray before I do sharing. I just totally have no idea how to do. So I am always begging God to teach me how to share about His love. So YES, prayer is awesome! 40 days of Love also is super awesome~! 40 days of love is much more than a book!

When I answered the question “What help did you receive” on Page 359.My answer is Prayer, because Prayer helps me through lots of difficulties.It is biggest and most powerful help I have ever received. Prayer is so much more important than physical help. Through prayer, I give my thanks to God for the things He has done in my life,I ask for God’s forgiveness,I ask for God’s strength, I even say some thoughts and feelings I only want God to know. It’s a CONVERSATION between me and God, you and God, God and us.

Prayer is when our soul; heart and whole mind come together in conversation WITH God. It is not only speaking TO God. Its two way to communicate between you and God, not one way. But people always forget that prayer is a two-way conversation. They see prayer as a duty, just be as quick as possible, as short as possible. Not even waiting for God’s response. Or someone lie down on bed and pray lazily before go to sleep. I bet that their whole point was to sleep during praying. Or someone doesn’t like praying in group, or praying in front of people. Maybe they are too shy or can’t find those beautiful words or they feel their English is too broken, Whatever the reasons. Prayer won’t work without your HEART. Remember, As long as you pray with your HEART. Your body will automatic get out of bed, stand or sit formally, because in your prayer, your heart has invited God to listen. And when God is in front of you. Use your HONEST HEART to have communication with God persistently, confidently and reverently. God will surely hear that and listen what you pray for. Friends, there is our father just right there,ready to listen what we pray, what our worries are, what our feelings are, Just simply pray with our whole HEART.

Jesus as son of God kept praying when he saw all those needs. He kept praying for God’s strength to fully fill him. Imagine, Jesus Christ, as a savior, as son of God, as a holy man, he also needs prayer. How about us? We are so weak that even the “try MY best” is so weak without God’s strength and we are sinners, don't we need to pray persistently with our whole hearts for God to lead us not into temptation? (Matthew 6:13)

We must pray confidently. Truly depending on God. When you don’t think your prayer is answered, people would have doubtful thoughts. But I believe God is answering many of our prayers in ways we can’t yet see. God is answering millions and millions prayers. But your voice is so special for God. God will always catch your voice. God is always giving us the best. however this best isn’t by our human’s standard. Its God’s standard. And God is so big that we can’t fully fathom what God’s perfect plan is for us. Yes, friends, no doubtful thoughts, no unstable trust, no Plan B. We have Faith~!

For me, prayer is one of the most beautiful presents given by God and it is the most important conversation you will ever have. You will never know how much you have impacted the person you prayed for; you never know the power of prayer. I have been very blessed by those prayers for me, for my studies, for my Christian walk with God, for my family, even for my cats, because those prayers are powerful and they speak straight into God's heart. Just like heart to heart between you and God. How much you have use your Heart to pray= how much Power God will feel from your Prayer. Simply imagine, your heart is so close to God’s ear and heart. Won't God hear your heart and prayer? And whether you say or not, God knows. God is all knowing. So whether God is using his ear or his heart, he knows already. all he wants it for you to say it out.

Prayer helps us get closer to God. The closer we get to God, the closer we get to real life that God wants us to live, which is fully filled with power and real meaningful.

From now on, I decide get out of bed and have a face to face, heart to heart conversation with God and ask God to teach me how to pray.
With Lots Lots of Love
