Fellowship Prayer Meeting
There are so many reasons to convince me not to go to the fellowship prayer meeting. Will God answer our prayers? Is it just another function? Sometimes it is quite depressing and discouraging when you have found out that you were the only one there, and I will lament that the watchmen in the fellowship were all gone. Sometimes, prayer is just like speaking to the air. Sometimes, I don't know what to pray for; Sometimes I don't feel that the Spirit is there. Sometimes, I just simply don't want to open my mouth.
Today, given that I haven't done my quiet time properly and has lived a boring life for quite a few days, I therefore had a strong desire, and I have planned, to skip the prayer meeting. Yet in the end, I felt a bit guilty to stay in the office while the prayer meeting place is only 2 minutes away from me. So I went, and I prayed.
Thank God that He has brought me back to the prayer meeting. The meeting went on as normal, and nothing special or surpise happened. Yet this is the mircalous power of prayer. I stop wrestling with God, at least for a moment. And a voice was whispering in my heart (or a sentence has came across my mind), saying - And where there's doubt, true faith in You.
Indeed there are so many little things in life that God has revealed Himself to me and I can give thanks for. Today, I have dropped a £10 notes from my pocket, and someone in my back have picked it up and returned the notes to me with a smile; My father has called me in the afternoon. We have a good conversation and have resolved some issue regarding my financial position; I have written 1000 words with quality for my thesis today. Yet when my eyes were blinded and clouded, I could see nothing. It is until the moment when I stop doubting God, life has suddenly become so rich and beautiful. My heart can rest, and I can give thanks to Him for what He has done in my life.
This is the power of collective prayer. When we pray, God works, and He will minister to us.
Today is the end of May, and tomorrow is the starting of a new month. A new month, and a new beginning, and I should start my quiet time again. May God grant me more faith in Him.
