Pray always!!

In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. (Matt 6:9-13)

How beautiful is this if you compare John 17 and Matt 6. It is approximate 3 years apart. Matthew 6 was at His beginning of our Lord Jesus Christ earthly ministry and John 17 was at His end of His earthly ministry. And this is something that is always close to His Heart. That is, "alway praying for all of us". Prayed that our Heavenly Father will keep us from the evil one. He is indeed our Great High Priest.
How often do we pray to our God and also pray for our loved ones? we should pray to our God and pray for the church everyday. Especially this last generation, especially in Singapore, on one hand, worldly event like "integrated resort, Formula 1", spiritual event like : "Gospel of Judas, Gospel of Mary, Gospel of Thomas, Da Vinci code, Another Bible" which can be easily purchase off the shelf from any bookshop.
All these will draw us away from God. It is either you are busy enjoying the world, or you are so occupied reading all other book EXCEPT, " THE BIBLE". No wonder our Lord that in the last days, many hearts will grow cold, and will lost their first love. So, let us also learn to be like our Lord Jesus Christ, pray for our loved one and also pray for the church. Be blessed.
