Manila Hostage Crisis Prayer

As much as I want to be updated with what's happening in my country, I think I better turn off the news. Stop finger pointing. Dig deep in my heart and ask God what to do now?

I feel sorry for Mendoza's family and the HK nationals. It just tells us how viral this cancer of sin is in our society.

But who's to blame? I say, I am.

Oh, God, I cry... heal our land! 

Prayer from a Pastor's Heart

"Dakilang Maykapal, patawarin Nyo po kaming mga relihoyoso kay Kristo na walang pagmamalasakit sa aming Kapwa at Bansa. Patawarin Nyo po kami at baguhin ang kaisipan at kalooban tungo sa kabutihan ang aming mga barangay at pamayanan!"

-Ptr. Jack Alvarez (he is a pastor of a small church among the poor and the weak in Manila)

Prayer for the Remaining Journey

Silence my heart, Lord. Let me hear Your voice, let me feel Your touch. The day is about to end and I don't want to go another day without experiencing you today. 

My mind is busy, I think of a lot of things and focusing on you is so hard to do. I miss spending time with You as like before- no boundaries, not boxed, free-flowing, not bothered by time. When will that season return? 

I long for You right now. It is You that I desire. I have gotten this far to understand that You alone can satisfy the deep cravings of my heart. Take away my earthly desires, let me focus on You. Enable me to say 'no' to the things that make the journey burdensome. 

May I apply the richness of Your grace in my life and in every conversation that I will have. May I represent Christ to every people that I will meet. Spare me from the barrenness of a busy life. 

May I be found intimate with You in my continuing journey of becoming like your Son, Jesus Christ.
