Finding God in Emptiness

Living in a world where you are bombarded with information every seconds of your life, i often get carried away with it. I find myself lacking in time with God, and yet all those times that i spend with Him its still in the realm of modern world. Just for example, my Bible is in my Ipad, and in order for me to write this Blog i have to have access to the Internet. There are too many other things as well that led me to feel that the presence of God somehow were replaced by these gadgets.

However, deep in my mind and heart somehow i know that God can be deeply found when you remove all of these things away. When your heart turn in the simplicity of life, there is where God can be seen deeper. When you just find an empty space, empty room, and without engaging God with all these "gadgets" there is the place where i find God in much better connection than what i have right now.

I hope that this will be my new way of finding God. To set aside all of these engaging things and immersed in the presence of this mighty God.

Beyond The Word Religion

We are created for a purpose, for a pleasure of a God who loves us so much. That is what Christianity tries to portray and show to many. Well, people may agree or disagree with that. Some see Christianity as that form of force who asked to believe on their dogma, constrict their freedom, value human being based on one perspective and one perspective only, etc, etc. This perspective often driven by their personal experience with Christian. And to make matter worse, there are so many disagreement among Christian themselves. One will read the bible and interpret it the way other refuse to agree.


Well, i write this not to create a more complicated matter but rather to ask myself for what it does for me? How does it lead me to comprehend this person name God?

People will always define and redefine God. And it seems God is allowing that by being invisible. Sometimes i wish God just come down and open a press conference where He finnaly reveal and define Himself. He will correct the long waited wrong interpretation, and strengthen the right approach of Himself. It sounds like the perfect solution for all this ambiguous and confusing view of God. But on the same time, will we believe on Him? Will we treat Him with the awe and adoration of this mystery of being name God? There is a beauty in mystery and that is what i found through this exploration of religion and in particular Christianity. There is the msytery of greater experience of the unknown, unseen, untouchable. Yet its existence seems to be real no matter what. Beyond my senses, my presence. God does exist yet He is mysterious. He doesnt exist, but yet we are searching for a deep spiritual existence that we think is out there.

For that purpose i find that God is indeed beyond Religion. Religion is our attempt to contain this great mysterious being and to grasp God as much as our limited ability and capability can comprehend. It is our longing for knowing God.

In that process, we will encounter the obstacle of limitation, and this is the reason of me putting my faith on Christianity. It allows me to realize that grace is indeed ultimate mystery of God. It allows me to accept the fact of me in this limit, yet allow God still be God without me have contain it. I have to allow my inability to know God limits me and on the same time to let God know me unlimitedly. Its including finding the unknown side of me.

Grace is indeed become the only way i have to accept Him. That God is beyond me, yet its surround me.

Therefore, when our view of God is limited to religion, its something that only grace may answer.

Searching For God's Heart

I have to write this with a consideration that people have different view about this subject. But let me carry this issue from the way i see it since this is the place where i can reflect things such as this anyway.

I came to the conclusion, that often time it is very easy for us to mention God, in our conversation, in our prayer, in our daily life, but yet i find it is very difficult to find His true heart. What do i mean by that?

Often time, i got myself into this situation where despite all the "activities" above, i cannot comprehend that presence of His in His majestic, ultimate, and graceful manner. Now i am not talking about the emptiness of feeling, but rather that there is something deeper, more meaningful, and mysterious about God that i cannot just receive from daily spiritual "activity"

In my dumb, ignorant, naive way i call it the Heart of God.

For this previous few weeks behind me, i was intrigue by the story of the Prodigal Son and a very special book with the Title "Addiction and Grace" by Dr.Gerald May. The story of the Prodigal Son, captivate that true searching of a person of their true relationship with God. The prodigal son, went away tries to get rid of the presence, the heart of his Father. He took away the Father's wealth in perception that it will bring joy and happiness to him. He thought, what He needs is His father properties, and not his father's heart. He went as far as possible, spending all that he can spend and find the pleasure that he really wish he could have. However, only when all this things did not fulfill his deep longing for that love, he realizes that only the Love of His Father is the complete love that he needs.

It is our nature to take our Father's blessing, and treat it as if it is there our joy and satisfaction lies. We wants God's wealth even if in the process we have to treat Him as if He is dead, and run as far as we can to the place where we can demolish the presence, the memories, the love that He gave to us. But yet He is patient enough to wait for us to find that true heart of His.

I feel i am still running away right now, but yet my heart keep calling that there is something deeper, something more rather than just another spiritual activity. There must be something more, than a regular bible reading, devotional life, prayer, teaching and preaching. For there is more to God himself.

Help me Lord in my search of your Heart, even when i am still being that prodigal Son.

That things about God

Love is indeed God. After all the things i see in this world, one thing i did know that love is indeed God. Outside of that is what addiction is all about

In Your Presence

I want to dwell in Your presence o LORD i want to be where You are and be delighted by Your love and grace.

Still about Contemplative Spirituality

Distraction, its a big word that i still have to reflect and reconsider. This word has brought me to think about all the distraction that i have in my life. There are too many things, gadgets, and thought that often distract me from finding God and having that deep connection with Him. Contemplation is about letting it go, for a better focus on God. But that is the hardest part, to let it go. How can something pleasing for me should be taken away without me struggling to get it back? What is my natural being says?

Contemplative Spirituality

As you can see above, the title above indeed sounds very theological. However, this issue has been a hot potato right now among the people in my theological circle. My own Seventh Day Adventist Church.

Well, the accusation given to contemplative spirituality is the practice of meditation and solitude that "technically" mimic the monastic practice of spirituality and eastern mysticism.

I am not going to discuss theologically here, about the pro and con of it. But rather what i have learned from contemplative spirituality for my personal growth. There is something very important, something very true that often we as Christian has neglected so much that when other religion got it, we become so fearful losing our identity.

We are living in the world today that i believe, overemphasizing the importance of productivity, and result as the definition of success and achievement. Well, blame it to the Industrial Revolution. As a matter of fact with the advancement of industrialization, it comes with the urge for higher productivity. The heart of industry is product, for product defines profit, and profit defines success. So the word speed, efficiency, high rate, and other very "productive" word become the vocabulary of the world, and soon enough Christianity become part of it.

We have been carried away with worldview of the world, that our spirituality is defined by speed and efficiency as well. There is no time for God, there is no time for Prayer, there is no time for the Word. Who can spare three hours a day to pray and contemplate with God in solitude? Who can spare their precious productive hour on daytime sitting in one corner of the room with the words and prayer? Only Monk can do that! Therefore, our spirituality has lost its beauty, and Grace of God become very efficient as well.

Contemplative spirituality in my view tries to bring that point across once again. What have been practiced by the Church Father probably still something that we need even more today. Some method might be theologically debatable but the core and the heart of it is still the same. We are too fast, we are too ambitious, we are too rushed, and too insecure. We afraid to loose our catch, our productivity, if we have to slow down and just sit down with God.

We are too greedy, we want all things for our benefit, even the spiritual one. God need to bless us so much, but we cannot wait.

Ironically, Adventist whom we suppose to be the defender of truth, with our great teaching of "Day of Rest" are often the most restless people encountered. We even clogged our Sabbath day with OUR activity, for other day is OURs and God can only function on Sabbath. Spiritual life seems to went down with the Sun, as we pray at the Sundown worship.

This is still the great lesson that i have to learn, and yes i am determined to learn it. How to live up a life that is Centered on God in the term of time, and relationship.

Jealousy and Envy

I was reminded about the tenth commandment that speaks about envy and jealousy. Thou shall not envy. This particular commandment was given to the bless nation in whom God provide His blessing. However, As I put a special thought in it. This commandment will not be imparted unless the nation of Israel are completely equal in all things. What is the point of putting such commandment into the Decalogue if all people will have the same amount of property, belonging, wife(?) and cattle? Looking at this statement, that means there are different social strata among the Israelites in the term of monetary and sociological standpoint. However, differences seems to be something that God does not consider as something to fix. But rather, differences create that unique element of a creative and intelligent God.
Where do I actually bring this discussion to? That equality cannot be defined only in a term of same level of everything. That all people should be the same in all thing, and then truths shall come. But rather we must live and be content with the blessing and providence that God has provided for all of us.
We are living in the world where that differences has come to even a more evil details. Just yesterday I encounter the discussion between two guys regarding the type of their iPhone. One is 3G and the other iPhone 4. The person who has 3G has to complains about the "lowliness" of his phone compare to the rest of the society. That incident might sound trivial, and not worth of notice. However for me, i feel the same sense of feeling often in my life. I do feel like that man who complains abot his 3G phone in some things in my life. Unless I have the most advance technology, then I am somebody. If I don't have the latest gadget, then latest car, the most advance tools of trade, somehow my value as human being will be degraded and lowered. We human being just want it more and more. Even when I notice most of that gadget just end up a decoration in our house or office. Our crave is not based on necessity, but rather feeling of security of having something better than other. We are still leading on the race. Well, I have to admit as well that I am probably are one of those people. I also want the latest, best, top, of things in life not because I really need it but it just bring sense of security more than anything. In reality, I can still do much things with all the blessing I receive and all are good enough for me. God is still too generous for such a person like me.
Envy is driven not because of what we need, but rather by what we don't have.

What is Love.

The question might sound like an oxymoron kinda question. But I do want to know? Wel it is not because of something that recently happen but rather because of the things that I see just now. Well, these couple sat on the bench, holding hand and kiss. Before anyone perceive me wrongly, please do no think that I wil come with some condemnation but the moment after they kiss and the way they look at each other was undescribeable. The way that they look at each other, that spark trust they show, what is that? How to define that?
It sounds like an emo blog but irather want to know it in a spiritual way.

Giving Thanks

We as human being seems to exist with the crave of growth and development. We want to have more, want to be the best, want to be better than others. We want to have something that uniquely ours, and when what you have is not good or convenient compare to others we often feel that life is not complete, life is not satisfying, life is not fulfilling. However, by thinking that way, we might miss the greater part of life that I call as providence. That God actually has given us the best, and often time beyond what we deserve.

Therefore, the greatest way of understanding this love and providence is by thanksgiving. We can accept and allow God to work in the beauty of His love not what we want. His blessing is always more than good enough, it's best. When we see God in that way, life become not what we always want and get but rather what we will and always receive, the love of God. I wish I can describe what is that love, but He works in a greater way beyond me. It's unique to Him.
So starting today, I am learning to count the blessing that I RECEIVE rather than things that I WANT.

And thank you God for all of that!

Journey to The Unknown

If my blog will sound like a sermon, hope it still can carry the thought of it.

This reflection come after the interesting study that i found in the book of Luke. I have to prepare a lesson and question for the coming Bible Quiz on April.

As part of the searching, i glance through the first 12 chapter of Luke. Now, this is something that i found along with my personal experience this week.

Starting from Luke 5:1-11 i encounter Jesus that immediately went through the experience of Journey to the Unknown with His disciple. He asked them to throw their nets down to the deep water. Peter immediate reaction was "i have tried the whole night!"

Despite the simple reaction of Peter, it carries some weight knowing his background and situation. Being a fisherman, he knows what he is talking about. His experience and intuition told him, it is almost impossible to get even a single fish that day.

It happens again, when John send his disciple to clarify with Jesus whether He is the true messiah or not. Instead of giving them direct and clear explanation, Jesus invites them in a journey with Him that day and let them draw their own conclusion (John 7:18-23)

Every-time Jesus was scrutinized by the Pharisees he never gives them a direct, "constructive" and straight either A or B kind of answer. But rather he allow them to learn and understand truth by reflection by asking them back. Through Parable, and reference to the Scripture, Jesus confront His enemies.

But the ultimate reflection of mine came from the story of Calming the storm:

He brought His disciple to the storm, and let them take the journey to the place they thought they know better than Jesus. The Sea. Most of them are an expert on handling ship, but yet they find themselves caught and confused and finally cry, "LORD! Save us!" How many times in my life i think i know better than Him that i should walk and handle the situation on my own, when all i have to do is to have Faith? (Luke 8:25)

As a human being, i am addicted to control as well. I have to MAKE SURE every single thing is in order. The line of the ship is correct, the boat is in good condition, and i have learned from experience what to do in the time of storm. I am too much into what i suppose to do, until i forgot WHO is inside my boat. Jesus was relaxed;so relax that when the storm come he can even still fall asleep during this violent shaking of the boat. I often asked myself why i cannot be relaxed? Why i cannot let my guard down, and keep holding and try to control all things and situation in my life? Jesus can feel relax even in the time of violent storm, but why me, who suppose to be His follower are totally the opposite when comes to storm?

This is the lesson that i have to learn and re learn. That life is always be unknown, and often God brought us to that direction. But when we realize who are inside the boat, rather than how is the boat doing we know that He is in control.

Wait

I have learned something very important today, and it is the ability to wait. This is part of my daily devotion, when i found the verse in Psalm 130:5 regarding waiting.

Now, living in the place like Singapore, waiting is something that is very hard to digest. I mean, when everything needed to be efficient, less time consuming, and with no hassle, who wants to wait?

However, probably we have asked and dictate God to work that way too. We want Him to be efficient, and fast. We want Him to work in OUR pace, and not His. Some people might deny this, but unconsciously everyone does.

I am reminded again though, that this is where Faith takes place. I am not the creator of universe, i am not there when He molds and shape the universe. I was not there to witness His mighty hands. Therefore, i have no right to say and dictate Him what to do with me.

When i learned to wait on God, it helps me to have patience with myself and others as well. It helps me to see that life is a process, and often a long one. God take pleasure in seeing His creation grow and develop, but often time we don't. Why? Probably because of our selfish nature of wanting more and wanting fast. Its all about us, and what we can get. If only all people can develop the ability to wait, and especially on the LORD.....

Reflection of Life

As i reflect on another year of my life. There has been a bad time, but plenty of a good time. God's presence is there through it all. It is such a blessing to receive a lot of kind remark, birthday greeting, and message from people that comes and was touched by me. Its a good reminder of life that it is beyond yourself, beyond what you can achieve, its beyond all of that you can ever imagine. When life is focused for the better of other, it carries the wonderful message of Love.
At the end of the day, i am happy and humbled to know that i am just a "sinner saved by grace" that is the only thing that matters, and on the same thing drives me to do what i am called to do. Some people might have achieved fame, fortune, discoveries, breakthrough, and many more. But for me, i am happy and grateful to know that i am once was lost but by His grace i was given not only second, but third, even fourth and more chance. That is good enough for me.

Love

Love can really make people went crazy and do all kind of stuff. Interesting. Only love i guess can really do this kind of stuff. But well, with the same love God is doing whatever it takes too, to make sure we are saved. Thank Be to GOD.

What is Your Priority?

I was reminded again to not be an acting Christian, but the true one.

I was reminded again that God does want to spend time with us His creation.

I was reminded again that often time, i spent the least time with God through out the day. Yet complain at the end of the day that i dont have enough time to finish all the work

I was reminded again that spending time is about priorities, and not because there is not enough time. All are given 24 hours, nothing more, nothing less. Its how you use that 24 hours that matters

I was reminded again, that life is simple. God, and Family. If we cannot spent and spare times for these two important thing, there is something needed to be fixed in me.

Nice Quote from Sabbath School

“All who are under the training of God need the quiet hour for communion with their own hearts, with nature, and with God. In them is to be revealed a life that is not in harmony with the world, its customs, or its practices; and they need to have a personal experience in obtaining a knowledge of the will of God. We must individually hear Him speaking to the heart. When every other voice is hushed, and in quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God.”—Ellen G. White,The Ministry of Healing, p. 58.

How many of us really take times for a quiet hour? (Including me)

Serious Reflection

This trip to Penang give me a sense of reflection again what i do and why i am doing it.

Back in this conference, i was greeted by all my old classmate even some people that i dont know but seems to know me.

I met many peoples, and most of the comment "i know you from...." or "i heard you from....and (all the qualities that they claim i have and perform)" etc, etc

Some people even says, "with this kind of recognition you have, you can be easily promoted to Union, Division, or etc" some other "you will be great, and etc, etc"

Invitation for dinner, lunch, free food, free this and that flowing nicely.

There is a temptation to say that "i should aim higher" this is the time for "fly up"

For those who know what happened recently, i receive a wonderful offer that i think will give me a speedy upgrade on the term of personal career. However, i am fighting for not accepting it.

Reason given - i believe there is a great work needed to be done in this present assignment that i have. I was placed in this situation in which by faith i accept as God's direction. The work is not yet done, there is a lot of things still need to take place.

It might sounds like it is a personal ambition that i have. For those who know me, you know that is not me. It is coming from my heart as a shepherd. It is very difficult for me to go, when knowing my sheep is still sick, not well fed, not healthy enough to produce another sheep. I pray that this is what God really wants me to be and belong.

This trip to Penang gave me that inspiration again.

Self Awareness Before God

Lack of Self Awareness before God can lead us to a wrong spirituality. Many people use God to run away from God. They like to blame others for the problem that they encounter, and worse using God's name to validate that accusation. Some others, didnt realize their emotional emptiness, making God as the way to heal their pain, without ever wants to deal with the real issue. The reed of reality is just too hurting for them to accept it, so better hide in this emotional drugs call religion. That is why some, need to go to worship not for a real worship with god but for emotional high during music time, or they like sermon that will give them good feeling and self tap on the back that they are craving for.

It is something that i feel very sad. For a simple reason, this will lead them not in finding God but rather in themselves.

True Purpose of Religion

Some people use religion to make them feel good, and fill the insecurities that they feel. The do good things as a reward to themselves. When their so called "spiritual life" is considered good, they can tap their back and say i am successful! However, those thought and action cannot lead to the true joy and happiness in Christ. Probably that is why, a lot of people walk away from religion when problem and difficulties happen because they just want the Good Stuff

The Power of the Mind

I am not talking about Professor X on X-Men or those psychic supernatural spoof. But one's thinking can be very fascinating.

I've been interested in mental health field since i dont know when but for sure a long long time ago. I still remember while other kids are busy with playing with their toys, i am busy with my father's old typewrite machine writing on how to reduce stress. I took the source from some encyclopedia and my intention was to give it to my uncle who was depressed because of relationship problem.

There were times as well when i just suddenly woke up and think very deeply, about how actually minds work? and i wont be able to sleep trying to figure it out.

However as for today, being exposed to the real situation and experience its saddened me to see how one's mind can define the whole body function. I have seen how depression can bring a person to see life as meaningless and value themselves so low despite all the good things that happens in their life. How one can harm their own self just because they dont find any worth and control over their own self and the situation that affect them.

And as much as i want to help, often i felt discouraged for there are less that i can do.

But anyway, i am still fascinated

EGW on Judging Others

Pg.123

"The people partook largely of the same spirit, intruding upon the province of conscience and judging one another in matters that lay between the soul and God. It was in reference to this spirit and practice that Jesus said, “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” That is, do not set yourself up as a standard. Do not make your opinions, your views of duty, your interpretations of Scripture, a criterion for others and in your heart condemn them if they do not come up to your ideal. Do not criticize others, conjecturing as to their motives and passing judgment upon them."

Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing

How true that statement is....

Emotionally Healthy Church & Spirituality

I've been reading this book called Emotionally Healthy Church and now Emotionally Healthy Spirituality by Pastor Peter Scazzero. It is a wonderful book and give me a great insight to the question, why some people can be very spiritual but on the same time still very sensitive, insecure, and angry? This book provide the balance that i didnt realize, that without emotional maturity the spiritual aspect of life no matter how strong it is will crumble.

There are plenty of part of my life that i find not yet mature. I am still insecure, and sensitive also thinking too much for things that dont even exist. Well, if you are interested in searching for a new way of living for a higher spiritual maturity, this book is a great book to read.

Developing a New Devotional Method

Right now i am working on my other blog for devotional. This work is for my personal devotional time but i post it as a blog for other to learn and probably gain some inspiration as well in their life. the blog is at this site

The Warrior Is A Child

I just received a wonderful story of how people are happy with things that happen in our small congregation. Few others came to me to say their appreciation for all the things that happens in their life.


However, this is the moment when i realize how vulnerable i am. That despite all the good things that happens in life i am still weak and afraid when trouble comes. The only reminder that i can always put is God's Promise to Joshua and that's what i will do Joshua 1:9

For The Gospel

Thing song by Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir reminds me of His purpose for me on taking this path of life. The statement was taken from 2 Timothy 1:8-14

Reflecting on Apostle Paul and what he had been through for the gospel, it is remarkable to contemplate with his statement there. He is one of those who can really testify the true meaning of grace and the beauty of Salvation in Jesus Christ. This is the man who was on the other side of the Gospel, persecuting those who believed in Jesus, and suddenly was called to serve Him despite all the things he had done. Grace means for him, a true second chance that some of us who lived and breathe Christianity our entire life will never understand if our "holier than thou" never change.

That's why i like the saying, "unless you know what sin is, then you will never know what grace is all about", i have seen in my own experience, that those who were "out there", once they realized the grace that was freely given to them they become a solid, faithful, and very real in their faith to God.

Paul's conviction of this Gospel was so tremendous that he was willing to go through all things for Him. Thrown in Jail, Flogged, Mocked, Stoned, and unimaginable emotional and physical pain.

And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.

To be honest, it is never been easy for me to serve Him in this capacity. Dealing with people, and with all their tendency of mistake and fault, often time i found myself giving up and just want to walk away. There are times, many times, when i started to asked myself, for what LORD, for what? Why do i have to serve this people whom i dont even know and has nothing to do with who i am? I can easily just go back to my dream, to live up the life that i am dreaming of. But then that statement of Paul struck me.

And of this gospel i was Appointed - i went back to check it, and find that the word was derived from the Greek word Ethethen, the Aorist passive form of tisthemi, in which means that it was completed task on the moment of the statement. Paul was completely appointed as the Apostle and teacher. He was appointed; it was not His own choice but yet he was willing to suffer for he knows whom he can believe. Ellen White state that statement as well before she passes away. "I know whom that i believed"

Yes Lord, who am i that you entrusted me with this calling? But who am i that you are willing to send your son for me? After reading this epistle to the young Pastor Timothy, i realize that i might can do many things. But that is not what God appoints me to do. While walking back from Chinese New Year Celebration today, my wife gave me the encouraging statement that "i can be a doctor, but i am not a doctor, i can be a psychologist, but i am not a psychologist. I am the Jack of all trades, but God has given me a calling that He knows the best." and that is the truth i can hold for myself. I can be what i want to be, but i am appointed by Him to do what He wants me to do. Sounds like God is a forceful person but then i realized the statement that Paul left in the same epistle - because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day

Well, hopefully all of you who listen to the song will find the same true calling for yourself or at least some new light on serving Him.

A Little Prayer for You

We just received a sad news that one of our friend has to undergo surgery for cancer, on the same time one of our own member just went for her knee surgery and recuperating at home with a lot of pain from the surgery, few minutes later my wife received an sms regarding the condition of one of our young member who is struggling with distress and the condition of his loved one who is not well abroad.

In one side, the help of technology has given us a leap stone of information. In a short moment, we have heard all the pain and suffering of our beloved one all over the world. However, it is also the ironic part of it that despite all the technology and advancement in science, pain and suffering still become part of human's life.

Looking on all this matter, it is great to understand and to believe that somehow the ancient communication method does still works its wonder. Prayer.

In a world where benefits and result often justify the means and effort, prayers has changed its function from a relationship based conversation to a business deal, marketing effort of Christianity, and sadly to say an ATM Machine. Prayer somehow has led many to think that God's answer is more important than the flow of the communication with Him.

I do believe in miracle, and truly belief that God does the wonder and magic in a supernatural way. But i dont believe in the conversation that is purely BASED on that PURPOSE alone. That God is our Genie in a Bottle, or that Fairy Godmother who come when we have a wish to fulfil and went back to the Bottle and Fairyland when we can have achieved all the things on our own method.

I went back to the time of David, and read all the songs and plea that he wrote or dedicated to him. I found the sense of intimate expression between the person who wrote that song. Somehow i got the feeling of how deep and tense this relationship between David and His God. It doesnt only limited to David. Abraham, Moses, Elijah, and other Old Testament prophet had reached that intimacy of relationship that has been long gone from the culture of the 21st centuries.

This is somehow ironic, that God of the Old Testament often pictured as the angry God, who easily angered with the action of His subject. Yet in the eyes of His true people, there is a sense that they saw Him as a person who are so close, so able, and willing to listen until all things that works around their life are driven and centered at this amazing God. When they cry they pour the heart out as a person who has nothing to keep and hide, yet when good things come to their life, their praise was so grand as if it was they are praising someone so dear to them.

Prayer never meant for fulfilling human desire to the fullest, but rather bringing the two realm of world the Sinful world and the Throne of Mercy closer than ever. That the Creator put all His attention and care to this small tiny planet called earth.
