Pray, Pray, and Pray

Pray, pray, and pray... This has been my Christian life these days. The Lord burdened me for many people and places for His testimony. But what I can do best as of now is pray, pray and pray. The burdens are heavy and there seems to be no way for me to carry out the burdens the Lord blessed me with. I cannot shy away from the burdens, nor can I run away from executing it. But I have no idea how the burdens can be carried out. When I considered all the burdens and how they should be carried out, I was just helpless. Nothing seems to work out. So the only thing I can do now, and, in fact, have been doing and also am very good at doing it is, pray, pray, and pray. Therefore, I resort to prayer as much as I can. And I love praying for the burdens and I enjoy praying for these burdens.

The burden for my official service, in serving the people of India with the timely and healthy ministry of the word as a healthy spiritual food supply, is being prayed for regularly. The burden to gain local families for the Lord's testimony, the burden for shepherding the saints and perfecting them in their functions, the burden for gospel preaching and gaining increase for the church, the burden for my ex-classmates for whom I initiated a monthly online meeting, the burden for North India for the spread of the ministry of the word in Hindi and the raising up of many golden lampstands all over India, especially North India among the Hindi speaking populace, the burden for my hometown-the salvation of my village people and tribesmen, the burden for my relatives in the flesh to be saved and recovered for the Lord's testimony, the burden for the Lord's testimony in the Nort East, and on and one. These burdens have been driving me to pray and pray. 

I am now just doing what I can do, and what I can do best, pray, pray, and pray. Praise the Lord for these burdens of prayer! May the spirit of prayer fill me and grace me to pray, pray, and pray.
