**NEW link for the 11th 100 days 24 hours prayer campaign(from August 25 to December 03, 2012).

The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week to pray for me, my family and my ministry, remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. This campaign is also to teach you that you need somebody to pray for you daily. I have been prayed for hourly the past 1,100 days and I have never experienced this kind of peace and protection before. It's just beyond words can express. If I did not listen and obey to Jesus call 1,100 days ago to start this prayer movement, I think I would be pulled into darkness and discouragement already! I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!

Today's Reading: Matthew 7: 7-12

Bible Study

This passage tells us how God as our Father will listen to our prayers and grant our prayers.  We just need to ask!  N.T. Wright says, "for most of us, the problem is not that we are too eager to ask for the wrong things.  The problem is that we are not nearly eager enough to ask for the right things...Treat God as a father, and let him know how things are with you!"

Archbishop William Temple famously said, "When I pray, coincidences happen;  when I stop praying, the coincidences stop happening."

Do you have such kind of experience?

Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"



Spiritual Journal

What I heard from Jesus today is: Treat God as a father!

Jesus reminds us of the relationship we ought to have with our Heavenly Father. Do we really treat Him as a father? If He is really our father, why can't we ask anything we want to ask. And why can't we trust Him that He will give everything we ask? 

Don't take this passage too complicated. It's purely a relational question, nothing more, nothing less! Do you have that daily intimate personal relationship with your Father?

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to really treat God a father and be willing to be close to Him each day.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
