A very nice song that reminds me to pray, pray, pray! :)
我以禱告來到祢跟前，
我要尋求祢。
我要站在破口之中，
在那裡我尋求祢。
(副歌)
每一次我禱告，
我搖動祢的手，
禱告做的事，
我的手不能做。
每一次我禱告，
大山被娜移，
道路被鋪平，
使列國歸向祢。
主我是軟弱及無助，
祢卻是我的力量。
祢以親切的手引導我，
那就是我的得勝。
A simple translation of the song:
I come before You in prayer, seeking You.
I stand in the gap, there I seek You.
Everytime I pray,
I moved Your Hands.
Things that prayer can do,
I can't do it with my hands.
Everytime I pray
The mighty mountains are removed
The paths are made straight,
And the nations turned to You.
Lord, I'm weak and helpless,
but You are my Strength.
You lead me with Your Hand
and that is my Victory!
Very nice song indeed! Pastor was sharing in the prayer meeting about "The Parable of the Persistent Widow" in the context of Jesus' Second Coming.
Luke 18:1-8
Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'
"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!'
"And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"
Dear Lord, I want to be found faithful in praying for my children, for my loved-ones, for the salvations of my friends, for the world, for everything that You have put in my heart to pray, when You come again for us. Yes, faithfully and persistently praying until Jesus returns at the Second Coming!
I don't want to be fooled by the devil who has been discouraging me to pray. Lord, please help me to never give up praying. Help me to be persistent!
Satan hates to see us praying because he knows that prayers move the mighty Hand of GOD that's why Satan is trying his utmost best to distract us from praying, making prayers look boring and pointless... But, NO! I don't want to be fooled by the devil! So Lord, this is what I pray:
Help me to be "be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."(Romans 12:12)
Help me to "pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."(Ephesians 6:18)
Help me to "devote myself to prayer, being watchful and thankful."(Colossians 4:2)
Help me to "pray continually" (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
In Jesus' Name! Amen!!
