prayer4MYnation #7

Almighty God, we need to ask You to forgive us again.  This time, because many of us have stopped praying or slowed down praying since that eventful Saturday.  The urgency has faded away, and many of us have gone back to our “normal everyday routine”.  Consciously or unconsciously, we think that “it” has come and gone… and now, “it” is more or less over.

Forgive us Father!  Have mercy on us O God!  Lord Jesus, You asked this question in that garden some 2,000 years ago: “Simon, are you asleep?  Could you not keep watch for one hour?  Watch and pray...”  Please forgive us Lord, because many of us have gone back to sleep!!!

No Lord… It is not over!  It is not finished yet!  It will only be done, when Christ return to reign as the Prince of Peace!!!

Why?!  Why?!  Why?!  Why do the Church and Christians need trials and tribulations to awaken us?!  Even so… in the midst of all our current trials and tribulations, many of us are still merrily going about our buying and selling without any thoughts for You and Your Kingdom agenda for this world, for our beloved Malaysia, for our churches and for our lives!!!

SEND. US. ALL. THE. TRIALS. NEEDED. TO. WAKE. US. UP.

SEND. IN. THE. BIG. ONES.

I plea before You Almighty God… in Jesus’ Name… Amen…

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Jason Fong believes that the Lord is leading him to pray more meaningfully for our beloved nation Malaysia.  He is sharing these prayers with the church at large through this blog and the Facebook.  He hopes that this series of prayers will further catalyze more Christians to watch and pray.

Please read Jason’s earlier article: LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY in this same blog, which was posted on 23 March 2011.  It would be a helpful reading for us to learn to pray more biblically.
