Never in my life have I felt so empowered by my prayer to you, by what you have enlightened me in my spiritual and everyday life. Prayer is about relationship: the intimacy that we have with you, as the creation of you almighty, as your sons and daughters so that we may call you "papa" with all our affection. Dear Lord you are speaking to me, in my dreams, in my lives, giving me small signs and bestowing me with wisdom so that I may keep my expectations realistic. Yesterday Pastor Peter shared with us the power of prayer through how Brooklyn Tabernacle was built into a house of prayers; tonight, Pastor Richard enlightened us through his cataract and retina transplant story to see the marvelousness and wisdom of Lord.
Dear Lord you blessed Pastor Richard to share the important message to us that our strength is perfected in our weakness, either physically or spiritually; that through tragedies, we can turn our expectation of God into our experience with God. When we have unanswered prayers, it is because Lord you are doing something deep within me, keeping us humble and grateful, knowing that you are The Lord our God, that your grace, and your grace alone, is sufficient for me.
Amen
