Dear God,
The road to You may be narrow and arduous but help me keep my eyes on You. To fear You only. To trust You only. To walk away from every temptation and distraction. Till I enter into Your rest, help me keep my eyes on You.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Dear God,
I realised that even Jesus who is the Light and the One You sent, did not judge those who heard  him but did not obey. Whom am I to form opinions about those who hear and yet not respond? Help me to be patient like Jesus. In this grace of time given, it is still salvation time, not judgement time. Give me also strength and diligence to continue proclaiming Jesus and his gospel, because there will still will be judgement on the day of judgement for those who reject. So help me not to stop interceding in prayers, in deeds and in proclamation. As You have commanded Jesus what to say and how to say, teach me also what to say and how to say. Then, help me with boldness to just say, without hankering after human praise or approval. With fear and trembling, and in Jesus' name I pray, amen. 

Dear God,
I wonder if I do not fully appreciate You and the goodness of Your presence. I long for Your presence while living, I do not long to go to You like Paul did. Help me grasp the depth of the blessing of knowing You. These days, I realised that it is truly a privilege to be able to trust in Christ. I am learning how to appreciate the privilege to suffer for Him. Perhaps replacing the word "suffer" with "love" may be more easily acceptable. It is easier to say, I would love to love You than it is to say, I would love to suffer for You. True love is always witnessed through willingness to suffer for the sake of the other. Fluttering of the heart is but a moment of passion but love in action even when it hurts is a true test. While I am no where near this state for now, and since I am still alive and in no danger, help me to do fruitful work for Christ. Help me to live a life worthy of having the privilege of possessing and proclaiming the gospel. And help me build tenacity within that if the occasion arises for me to suffer for You, I will have enough faith not to back out. 
​In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
