Revelation 3:15-16 and 19-20
"15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm--neither hot or cold--I am about to spit you out of my mouth."
"19Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. 20Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, i will come in and eat with them, and they with me."
Lord, i have to admit that i am never perfect. At this time being, i recognise that i cannot reach God's standard.. it's too far high.. There are certainly moments when i am lazy, i am disobedient to respond to your call, i am not putting my best effort but doing bare minimum and i know what is right but i do what is wrong.. Lord, indeed You know my deeds and what is to come.. am i being lukewarm? For this i really don't know and dare not answer..
So, please search deep inside my heart and see things that are pleasing to Your eyes.. I know i am not perfect and not worthy but please let me be working towards Your standards.. Show grace and mercy upon me.. Rebuke me and disciple me Lord.. Let me fear You so to make me be earnest and really repent for all wrong-doings and set a conviction in my heart to move for You Lord.
Father, allow me to see and hear the wonderful work of Your laws. Give me strength to pull through all difficult circumstances and temptations. Jesus, let the work on the cross be always a constant reminder in me so i can turn to You in times of need and know i was bought at a painful price.. Lord, help me know You're always there for me, never to forsake me.. Give me spiritual ears to hear and do what is desirable for You.. Come Lord.. Fall afresh on me! I really need You.. Please come!
Dreams do create hope in life and allow one not to give up in reality. Learn to persue our dreams for God, believe miracles will happen in this world. Never shall we give up dreams as they create hope and produce life in this reality world

Prayer Life Brings Spiritual Life
Yest went for the church wide prayer meet, got a catch from SP. He said our spiritual life will nv exceed our prayer life. i heard it and receive it with some uncertainty to it. deep in the spirit i felt something different, like God is speaking to me that prayer is the most important thing in a Christian faith.. so i seeked and asked God..
What is prayer?
in simple terms, it is having conversation with another person but this time round, the person is a special character.. He is God the creator and redeemer! this is so important bcoz if you are not able to talk and hear from God properly, how can you grow spiritually?? from the bible, i realised that all the while despite the challenges in life even Jesus, Paul and many great bible character like King David nv fail to talk to God in prayers.. that's y our spiritual life can never grow if we don't learn to pray..
What is Christianity?
In this season of a Psalm a Day, i learn to talk to God more closely and the desire of my heart to listen to His call is even greater. Christianity indeed is not a religion but a relationship with God. with a great intimacy or close relation with God must be be caught to be in a religious act that you must shout louder in prayer and have big big pattern actions.. God doesn't want a flawless performance, He wants our heart. so all it takes is a heart willing to quieten down and put away all the things we're concern about, then just talk to God and listen to what He wants in your life to be done.. no plan is greater than His for you..
In conclusion, our spiritual life comes from our relation with God and, to have a relation with God, we need to learn to talk to Him and ask Him in prayers.. How can our spiritual walk be any spiritual if we are not connecting spiritually correct with God.. haha!!! i also blur.. so pray la! God surely understands you bcoz He is God. that's why i need You God.. Listen to my Prayers.. Love You... Amen..

Lord, i hunger the hearts of my sons to come truthful and honest with me so i can lead them to You.. i pray that You can use me to guide and teach them so that they can be matured in Christ one day.. i thank You for the closeness and confession vic and daryl did in their lives.. as they open up themselves by faithful accounting, Father, look at their hearts and help them..
