Prayers comes with actions.

it was still amazing to me, recalling what happen on Tues nite.

Poy and myself were praying for our families. I was also praying for his da-ge and family to come to know God in my personal times. at times, after prayers, there's seems to be something tinkling inside, something seems to be missing.

On sunday, after a hospital visit to see a sister, we went back to poy's home. i was supposed to collect some"stuff left after the chalet event. however, was invited for a dinner with them. As poy was showering, it was one of those rare times i sat with his family ( without him around) for dinner. his mum was sick, not having dinner, so at the table were his dad, ( who just bought the dishes back home) , his da-ge and da-sao. As usual, only converse with his da-sao and his dad. His da-ge remained to be a man of few words.

As i was leaving the house, usually would go to his da-ge's room, where he would still be working, to say goodbyes. That day, i did. HOwever, recalling poy was mentioning , rather challenging me, hee, while we were back home to ask his da-ge for christmas svcs, if they are not going overseas trip. Indeed, God's words reminded me at that moment, Ps Jeff was teaching us earlier during the sermon that to have a miracle, we need to be willing to lose face, and willing to experience rejections. That boosted my faith and courage to ask, though could vaguely remember i ask directly stg that goes: are you all free on 23rd Dec, wna to join us for christmas svc?.....hee, after tt, only to realise i invited for the wrong svc also....haha.
His reply: see how la....
but inside of me, there was already a change. a transformation done. PTL! at least, to me, personally, to ask is already a challeng and i rejoice because tt was a first step towards MORE!....:P

Keep on praying is good, but when we pray yet we dont take actions on our part, how can God release what He wants to do through us.

i pray for more time to talk to his da-ge.

on Tues nite, after a church intercessory time at Nexus. i was walking towards Doby Ghaut MRT. i saw his da-ge walking alone, going to get his car. he offered to drive me home. i rem i rejected about twice then i took the offer. wow, i thank God that i was not very "stubborn"on tt. because during the car ride home, i was alone with him, in tt sense, i can get to know him better. He started to ask me questions and we found some common grounds to talk about, at least one was NTU Acc and Biz faculty. Though it was donkey years ago, that was stg to start off ba...:) it was a breakthrough from the many times i was at home with the presence of poy's da-sao and the rest of them. it was so different from the usual "hello"and byebyes.

what was more amzing was after so long knowing poy or rather, his da-ge, this opportune time to mt him was first time!! mtg him out in the streets, along with him for some time. and it was right after a prayer to God to create such time! wah, God is so powerful. He controls the time and incidents....amen!

And we all know, as we pray according to His will and purpose, He will answer our prayers!!

what are the prayers? are the prayers we pray still the same as many months ago?
is there something we can do to breakthrough? as God release His power through us.

Prayers come with faith.
Faith comes with actions.
Actions done by us!
all in His hands.
