Prayer Reflections Week IV (May 06 - 12, 2013)


Day 7: 'Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven... they worshiped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy' (Luke 24:51-52)
  • The ascension of Jesus is an invitation of our Lord to rise with him from our earthly perspectives to heavenly ones. It is only when we decide finally to  submit our lives to God's ways that we have the strength and joy to go back to our "Jerusalems" like his disciples. - VD Prayer Buddy

  • Be faithful! Jesus' ascension left in our hearts the great hope that He will come back for us who are eagerly waiting for His return and this time no one will be left behind in joining Him going back to heaven. So be faithful, for Heaven awaits us.  - big

  • Can we identify what are d Jesusalems in our life? ...Our pains our struggles our difficulties our sins. Can we face this with our own strenght? I believe we cannot, we need Jesus' strength to face our struggles, pains, temptations and sins.  with HIM We can return to our Jerusalem full of joy and full of conviction. - Syme

Day 6: Jn 16:26-28 " You will ask in my name and i dont say that i shall pray to the father for you because the father himself loves you"
  • One of the aim of our following  is our personal encounter with God. When Jesus can count with us as his disciple Jaime VD Founder said " we form a disciple when we teach them to pray and to do the will of God. Do I recognize what Jesus is doing in me? Do I recognize the personal love of God that is making in me a disciple? - VD Prayer Buddy

Day 5: Jn 16:20-23 "Whatever you ask the father in my name, he will give"
  • Jesus is so generous and kind. He proveide our needs and even our wishes as long as it is in line with his plan and purpose to our life. We ask and receive grace through our prayer. In return of what we received from the father we should pay it forward to others.. - VD Prayer Buddy

  • Thank you Lord for blessing me with everything that i have now...please bless those people who lost hope... bless them that they may see and feel your love for them... in Jesus name i pray.... amen - Nanang
  • With my nothingness and unfaithfulness to you, you continue to shower we with your blessings and inspire me with your love through others. You help me recognize your presence through the unexpected persons whom i never thought would help me deepen my prayer. amen - Dhelia

Day 4: Jn 16:16-20 "A little while you will no longer see me, and again a little while later you will see me"
  • Thank you Lord for giving us the eyes to see you, to recognize the many blessings you bestowed upon us, though sometimes we are blinded with several concerns and the many pains in life, yet you let us see with so much hope that there so much Joy behind all our pains. - VD Prayer Buddy

  • Lord seeing you everyday makes our life follow the path you wants us to take. Lord we pray that we see each other again and again in prayer so that we ca live our life according to your plan  - Big

  • Jesus left and we cannot see him personally... Yer we can feel his real presence and we can talk to him personally through hi words in the holy bible. Thank you o lord because everyday you let us feel your love by reminding us to be faithful to you and be near you always. - Nanang
 
Day 3: "...When he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth." Jn 16:13
  • Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us and dwell in us so that in the midst of the many voices we can hear, the voice of the spirit will prevail because he speaks only the truth.Recognize the voice that speaks the truth and everything will be well in your life. Let him be your guide.  - frm: VD Prayer Buddy

  • Have been through a lot discouragements, failures, and disappointments in life and yet Lord you continue to call me, help me recognize always your voice that i may not fall again and again that i may not be separated from you anymore. Amen - Dhelia

 Day 2: Jn 16:5-11. "It is better for you that i go. For if I do not go, the advocate will not come to you"

  • Jesus know what is best for us and his business is to make us happy and joyful by conquering sins, righteousness and condemnation by listening and following the voice of the Holy Spirit is always within us, it's up to us whether or not we allow him to work in us. Thank you lord for sending us the Holy spirit as our advocate. Let us pray more, listen to the Holy spirit and lets make the business of Jesus be our business.  - VD Prayer Buddy

  • Great is your love for us o Lord, you did not leave us alone, with all the struggles in  life you are always there. You keep the fire on me, help me then to understand your calling for me, i don't feel i deserve this but its you who call me and i have to respond. Amen   -  Dhelia

  • Holy Spirit, God's molding hands.... May I be able to obey all that God wants me to do....When i heard his call it made me happy,... it filled my heart.. i felt contented.... Lucky we are because God never leave us alone... Truly there is nothing more we could ask for... - Nanang


 Day 1: "The helper will come --- the holy spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the father. - Jn 15: 26- 16:4

  • As followers of Christ, it is expected that we will encounter difficulties BUT be not afraid because we are not journeying alone. The Holy Spirit is given by the Father to guide us to the Truth about God to keep us from falling away from Him. Pray and listen to the 'small voice' of the Spirit in you. Pls. Share!  - VD Prayer Buddy
  • "You also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning" Jn. 15:27, The world today is in need  more of Christ's witnesses. We are all called. Make a stand for Jesus that our witnessing will lead more to Him. Take care of your life as witness. Jesus is counting on you - Big
