Prayer and Prayer

Prayer and prayer is my burden these days. Prayer, not merely to ask God or intercede for matters, but much more to fellowship with the Lord and be one spirit with Him. Of course, there are many burdens within me that I would pour out in prayer. And for this reason, I spent time with my family morning and evening for family prayer, with the serving ones every morning before the day's office works, besides my own personal prayer. There are many things the Lord burdened me for, and most of which I can only pray for, therefore, I am burdened just to pray and pray, and I enjoyed prayer so much, especially the corporate prayer.

The Lord is faithful and merciful in that He started answering the prayers one by one. In fact, the first beneficiary is my family and myself as we have the privilege to pray. The very act of prayer is the benefit of prayer. Though we are thankful to the Lord for the answered prayers too, the best part of it is the very act of prayer. And much more, we enjoyed being man of prayer. It is even my wish and prayer for my parent and the senior saints that they would be graced to pray and pray, carrying out the most important ministry- the ministry of prayer, especially at the latter part of their lives. 

If the Lord would grace me long life, I wish that in the latter part of my life, I would fully resort to the prayer ministry of the church; praying for the Lord's move, praying for the saints, seekers, and sinners, and much more for the Lord's purpose to be fulfilled on this earth and for Him to come back soon! In fact, every night in our family prayer, this is our prayer for our parents.

O the joy of prayer! Grace me Lord, to pray and pray and pray... Not merely for answers but much more for prayer itself.
