“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone…” 1Timothy 2:1

A sister in Christ handed me a copy of the ‘Prayer Surfers’, Oh Boy! It was really difficult for me to realize that prayer is the most difficult task to undertake.

Subsequently, ‘Prayer Surfers’ was added to my quiet time according to the dates printed.  I began to pray with the feeling of rejoicing and excitement because I know that I am not alone praying but there are many children of God praying for the same commitments too.

In the beginning, I started with reading out from the pages and closing with an Amen.  Actually, the ‘Prayer Surfers’ is a very useful guide for Christians to learn how to pray.

After a couple of weeks praying for the different countries and the groups of unreached people I started to close my eyes and pray.  One night as I was praying for a particular country, I suddenly saw a ray of bright light from above reaching down to earth and the earth looked like when you are looking down from the window of an aeroplane.  It was such a beautiful and glorious sight that inspired me to pray continuously for nations and unreached people groups.  As I related this vision to the said sister, she too was excited.  I have not seen the vision since then.

Recently, I had another wonderful visions, I saw a bright hand of grace reaching down to the people beneath the earth.  There were multiple small little hands stretching out to the sky above trying to reach for the Hand of Grace. It is what the Lord will do when we pray, we do our parts and He will do the rest.  Hallelujah!  Pray unceasingly, Children of God.

Arise, shine, for your light has come

And the glory of the Lord rises upon you

See, darkness covers the earth and

Thick darkness is over the peoples

But the Lord rises upon you and His glory appears over you

Nations will come to your light,

And Kings to the brightness of your dawn

(Isaiah 60:1-3)
