Weekly prayers for SEiN.

"Now announce to the army, 'Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.' " Judges 7:3a

This is the 66th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on our shallow faith. I am tired of asking You to ignite fires in people again and again. Millions of small fires can be extinguished by a strong wind, but a great fire only grows stronger when the winds come. Lord, that is what I want. I don't want millions of small fires. I want a fire that continues to burn—one united fire that grows stronger and bigger, a great fire that cannot easily be extinguished, and a fierce fire that eventually spreads throughout the city.

Lord, if a person needs to be ignited again and again, perhaps that person has not yet become truly burnable. So, please prune us and prepare us. Separate the wet wood from the dry. Burn away everything in us that we refuse to surrender to You. Call Your people out and bring them out of Egypt. Give them the wisdom to manifest Your victory in Babylon and the discernment to recognize that there is another Person with us in the fire—and that Person is You.

Lord, help us. Remove from the pulpits of this city those who are not faithfully preaching Your Word. Remove them, and gather Your sheep again through true shepherds—shepherds who will faithfully lead, nourish, and care for Your people.

Lord, I ask You to provide these shepherds with everything they need: the heart to care, the strength to persevere, the wisdom to lead, and the provision to faithfully serve those who are lost and unsaved in this city. Let their lives burn with a genuine and enduring fire for You, and through them, let that fire spread throughout this city.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive, Amen.

"You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions." Psalms 45:7

This is the 65th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please help us to stand firm when people question our beliefs and faith in You. At that moment, please help us to keep our focus and eyes on You, and not to listen to lies or be distracted by our enemies. Because Your Truth prevails over all things, and Your holy fire consumes all evil, we do not have to tremble.

Please help the people in this city who turn to You to have a heart that loves Your righteousness much more and hates wickedness much more.

Lord, please continue to teach us how to love You more with all our hearts, strength, minds, and souls. Forge us to be good witnesses and show this city and the world that there is a mighty God among us. Grant us that victorious joy and overwhelming peace when we look at Your cross.

May Your kingdom come.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive, Amen.

“If you love someone who is ruining his or her life because of faulty thinking, and you don't do anything about it because you are afraid of what others might think, it would seem that rather than being loving, you are in fact being heartless.” ― William Wilberforce

"If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them." ― James 4:17

This is the 64th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on Your children. Restore our image of justice. Lord, sadly, there are people out there who have a distorted image of You and Your justice. And Lord, please help them to understand that justice is also love, because You care about what is broken. You are also willing to restore and even redeem.

So Lord, I really ask You to restore this missing piece in many people's lives, so that they can see You clearly. At the same time, help them to see themselves clearly, so that they can truly turn away from sin, because You hate sin. Sin is what separates us from Your presence.

Please continue to show us grace and help us to reflect on our own problems, surrender everything to You, and reflect more deeply on how we can help others. Awaken our consciences and arise within our souls. Help us not to live for ourselves, but to love You, to fear You, to be afraid of Your absence, and to have hearts that desire to pursue Your presence.

And please keep us in Your love and in Your presence. Please restore this missing piece in this city, in this society, and in our surroundings. But humble us and renew our minds first. Help us to make surrender the first thing we do. Help us not to lack zeal, but keep us fervently serving You,

Lord, show us Your love and justice in a magnificent and glorious way.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive, Amen.

"Let him then, who would be indeed a Christian, watch over his ways and over his heart with unceasing circumspection."
― William Wilberforce, Real Christianity

"Bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ"
― 2 Corinthians 10:5b

This is the 63rd weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Have mercy on Your beloved, search our hearts and test our minds, for You understand us more deeply than we understand ourselves. Humble us, teach us, and help us to faithfully guard our hearts.

Examine us and prove us; test our minds and our hearts. Let Your lovingkindness remain before our eyes, and help us walk faithfully in Your truth.

Give grace to those who turn to You. Help us cast away every thought that does not please You, and teach us to meditate on whatever is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, commendable, virtuous, and praiseworthy. Help us to recognize that every good and beautiful thing comes from You, and make us continually thankful for Your goodness.

Teach us to discern between what is truly good and what is merely almost good. Grant us sharp spiritual sight to discern all things through Your Spirit. Give us wisdom to recognize deception, courage to reject what is contrary to Your ways, and hearts that love what You love and hate what You hate.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive, Amen.

"View our lives through the vast macro Of His eternal purpose sublime. Trusting Him fully in every micro Along the faithful path He has prepared.

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace— Holy Majesty beyond all names and all praise, Yet stooping low to call me beloved." Grace for the Beloved, Yuan-Wei Pi

This is the 62nd weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being our Wonderful Counselor. Thank You for being our Mighty God. Thank You for being our Everlasting Father. Thank You for being our Prince of Peace.

May Your peace dwell in Your children's hearts, who are willing to sit and stay in Your presence, waiting to see more of Your wonderful plans, mighty works, everlasting love, and the Gospel of peace transforming people in this city.

Please show us more of Your humor, and teach us how to enjoy Your humor, and even be part of some oopsy-checkmate moments to the devil. You are so funny, and I love You very much.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive, Amen.

Looking back at the business proposal I wrote 1.5 years ago, I can only say that the Lord has been incredibly gracious to me. Moreover, at the beginning of this year (#32), I prayed for being more articulate. Through prayer and negotiation, God also provided me with this drone without me spending a single penny.

I don't need any more evidence that He is a faithful God, yet once again, He has reminded me of His faithfulness. What matters even more is growing in gratitude toward the One who has always been faithful to me and gaining a deeper understanding of how God answers prayers.

As long as I remember what I prayed for, I can always see the connections between those prayers. Those cross-references are one of the ways God speaks to me and communicates His faithfulness.

This is the 61st weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for always being in control. Together with the solid truth that You are my Father, You have replaced the anxiety in me with Your peace. And You have not only replaced it but have also enhanced, and are still enhancing the peace in me.

Thank You for teaching me how to pray, as I always love to ask You to teach me how to pray according to Your will, so that I may be used for Your will. And thank You for showing me that whatever I ask in Your name, with more and more understanding of Your name and as I hallow Your name, I can simply receive through faith.

Help me to stay in awe of You, so that I can continue to hallow Your name and say, "May Your will be done," in my heart. I also ask You the same for Your children in this city. Please continue to teach them how to pray according to Your will, not according to their desires, so that they can experience more of Your greatness and faithfulness and glorify You more with their pure hearts.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive, Amen.

A miracle just happened today. A dear friend encouraged me to pray and negotiate the compensation for what has happened to me, and it is truly that I had to wait until this moment and have the courage and wisdom to negotiate. Once again, I witnessed God's perfect timing. It seems that we can enjoy the outcome together before the end of summer. I will pray for good weather.

This is the 60th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank You for Your patience in enduring my impatience and pulling me back from impulsive decisions. And I thank You that I can come boldly to You and find grace to help me in time of need. Help me to stay in awe of You, for You said that those who fear You lack nothing, and therefore I shall not want.

Thank You that I can testify to Your love and the faithfulness of Your Word through my own life. I pray that more people in the city can taste and see that You are good and know that they can take refuge in You.

Help us to understand Your timing and endure patiently only through Your grace, while still believing that we can ask for Your compassion to satisfy us early with Your mercy, because You are our Father in heaven, and we are Your children.

Help us to stand firm in our identity in You and only in You, and wait for the wonders with which You want to spoil Your children in Your joy. Thank You for loving us so much.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive,

Amen.

I rejoiced, and I still rejoice, that for the very first time last weekend, united sounds of worship filled my home. We all came from different nations, and I was deeply moved as we sang "Look to the Lamb" together.

This is the 59th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I thank You for the glimpse of heaven I have seen in my home, where people from different nations gathered together to worship You.

May more households become houses of prayer and temples of worship for You, the one true God, throughout this city.

Please bring a breakthrough to this city.
Make our hearts clean,
so that we may sincerely sing from the depths of our hearts:

"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!

Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to You who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!"

Help us to always keep our eyes on You. And please, please fill this city with the hope of Your return.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive,
Amen.

"My God is reconciled;
His pardoning voice I hear;
He owns me for His child;
I can no longer fear.
With confidence I now draw nigh,
And, 'Father, Abba, Father,' cry."
----Hymn by Charles Wesley

This is the 58th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Arise the soul,
Arise the cast-down soul.

Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over.

Yet,
You are reconciled.
May Your pardoning voice be heard.
Own the soul as Your child.
Let there be no longer fear,
But confidence to draw nigh,
To draw near with confidence,
And cry, "Father, Abba, Father."

Command Your steadfast love by day;
Be with us in Your songs by night.

Help the soul to hope in God,
For there shall yet be praise to You,
Our salvation and our God.

As the deer pants for streams of water,
may our souls pant for You.

Arise our souls.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, I pray and receive,
Amen.

"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." John 8:32

This is the 57th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please bless the people in this city who long for the truth, to find You as a child, and to experience love and freedom tonight.

In Your precious name I pray and receive, Amen.

Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. -- John 3:5

This is the 56th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

If the coming heat is Your response to the proud,
then please pour down even more of Your refreshing living water
upon the humble.

Please clothe Your children with steadfast love,
strengthen them with patient endurance,
and teach them to number their days as they wait
for the precious fruit of Your season.

And Lord, I ask for Your mercy,

May Your breath blow upon hearts,
bringing both conviction and comfort.
Lead the proud to repentance;
guide the humble to refreshment.

May Your Word be written upon hearts,
and may those who receive Your breath
love You more tomorrow than they do today,
day by day.

In Your holy name I pray and receive, Amen.

“Self must not only be dead but buried out of sight, for the stench of the unburied self-life will frighten souls away from Jesus.” --John Nelson Hyde

This is the 55th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please highlight the ignorance in our lives,
and give us the courage to face it directly through Your grace.

Please bless Your true churches in this city,
that true disciples may be multiplied,
for they stand firm in the Truth amidst Babylon.

Please tear down the communities in this city that use Your name in vain,
and show them whom they are actually worshipping.

And Father, I want to echo the prayer that was uttered thousands of years ago:
"Lord, I have heard of Your fame;
I stand in awe of Your deeds, Lord.
Repeat them in our day,
in our time make them known;
in wrath remember mercy."

We have heard the stories of reformation and revival; please do it again in Berlin.

And please, let it not be a fleeting heartbeat or a passing flame in the night, but a lasting work of Your hand— a living river that does not run dry, and a miracle that endures from generation to generation.

May Your children in this city be filled with the Holy Spirit to speak the Word of God with boldness, until Your name alone is praised.

Hallowed be Thy name.

In Your holy name I pray and receive, Amen.

A verse is shared with me after the Bible study today:

Cast your burden on the LORD , And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalms 55:22

"The promise is not that He will take away the pressure, but that He will hold us up under it; and, similarly, the last clause declares that the righteous will not be allowed to stumble. Faith is mentioned before righteousness. The two must go together; for trust which is not accompanied and manifested by righteousness is no true trust, and righteousness which is not grounded in trust is no stable or real righteousness." --Alexander Maclaren on Psalm 55:22

This is the 54th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for encouraging me through Your Word through a sister. I love the verse, and I trust Your promises. Please strengthen my faith in You, strengthen Your children in this city, and constantly remind us that You are strong and kind, as we sang together tonight. Help us to stay in Your presence, for You are good and faithful.

Thank You for Your willingness to keep us day and night. Help us to believe that no one else can be our shield and strength. Teach us how to follow You and let You alone be our direction. Do not allow us to solve problems by ourselves. Forge our characters to submit to Your will and believe that You use everything perfectly for the one who truly loves You. And let Your perfect love drive out fear, so that we won't be shaken.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive. Amen.

Recently I recalled the most beautiful and powerful scene I have ever seen: a person shared a deep fear, and as tears fell from that person's eyes, rain began to fall from heaven. Instead of seeking shelter, friends circled around that person in the rain, taking turns to pray for comfort and supernatural peace, encourage with truth and hope. Together they stood in the rain until the last word of prayer had been uttered.

This is the 53rd weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you for the friendships I have seen, and thanks for your grace that I can see You in them. I pray for more people in this city can enjoy this kind of friendships, to realize that true friends are "use"less, and pure friendship are like the fireplace in the cold winter, like the vanila ice cream in the hot summer.

Thank You once again for being my best friend, may more and more people become Your friends in this city. Please don't let the coldness and numbness of death spread out among people, please bring us the warmth and compassion to make this city alive.

May the dry bones come alive.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive. Amen.

"You can no more have the Holy Ghost and have self-love than you can have purity and impurity at the same moment in the same place." — How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit, A.W. Tozer

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Matthew 5:8

The is the 52nd weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please purify our hearts, keep us in Your love, and help us not to compromise or be conformed to this world. Help us to see even more clearly the line between holiness and immorality.

Please give us hearts to serve and to believe that Your grace is sufficient for us to live sacrificial lives. Please help us to be like Paul, making ourselves servants to the people around us, that we might win more of them.

Please purify Your churches in this city. Help us to be united through Your Spirit, based on Your Word. I ask for reformation and revival in this city: a return to the teaching of Scripture and lives brought into proper relationship with the Holy Spirit.

Thank You, Lord, that You prayed and continue to pray for our unity. Please continue to bless Your Bride, the Church.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with the Church, forever and ever.

Amen.

“Christianity is not a modern success story. It is to be preached with love and tears into the teeth of men, preached without compromise, without regard to the world's concept of success. If there seem to be no results, remember that Jeremiah did not see the results in his day. They came later. If there seem to be no results, it does not change God's imperative. It is simply up to you and to me to go on, go on, whether we see the results or whether we don't. Go on.” — Death in the City, Francis A. Schaeffer

This is the 51st weekly prayer:

Dear Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit,

I praise You for who You are; there is no selfishness in You. You are love. Help us reveal self-destructive thoughts to those who are deceived and lost, and point them to the only hope, which is You. Help us preach the Gospel not with formulated arguments or systematic information, but humble us so that the power of the Gospel may continue to transform us and shine through us.

Dear Lord, I ask that all Christians in this city will gain a deeper understanding of “to live is Christ, and to die is gain,” and also know that we no longer live for ourselves. Our old selves must die; help us deny ourselves, pick up the cross, and follow You on and on and on.

Give us the strength to endure, even if we might not see the outcome with our own eyes in our days. Still, please give us the grace to trust in what is unseen and believe that You have placed us here and now for Your divine purpose. It is for You and through You to demonstrate how You transformed and continue to renew and transform those who were once lost, but are now found; were blind, but now see Your glory.

In Your holy name, I pray and receive, Amen

John 20:21-23 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”

And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”

This is the 50th weekly prayer:

Dear Jesus, Thank You for the Great Commission: to make disciples for You and to make Your name known to all nations.

The harvest is ready in the city, as we see so much brokenness here; but the workers are few. Please reveal to and convict more of Your children that not only missionaries are on the front line, but all Christians are on the front line.

Help us to view Your commission not merely as a responsibility and command, but also as a duty and honor—that You have called and sent us, just as the Father sent You.

Please help us always to be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks us for the reason for the hope that we have, not merely with our words but with our entire beings through Your Spirit. Help us to believe that we are the light within the brokenness.

Dear Lord, please help us to be excited about Your return, and keep us occupied with joy in our heart because of it.

In Your holy name, I pray and receive,

Amen.

"What we need as a nation more than anything else is more gratitude, not more grievance." Former Republican senator, Ben Sasse

"It's not a suprise to God. God has a plan, absolutely." Stage 4 pancreatic cancer fighter, Ben Sasse

This is the 49th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

I just want to thank You for everything that has happened in my life, and with the confidence You have given me, I thank You in advance for everything that will happen in my life.

I pray for more gratitude and less grievance in the city. I know You have a great plan for this city.

May Your name be known to all nations.

To the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ.

Amen.

Recently I got a concordance to the Bible just by initiating a question, and God brought more fruits from that. Today, while I was queuing for food, the sister next to me shared that some words carry deeper meanings. For example, “life” in certain contexts does not necessarily refer to length of days, but to abundance.

This is the 48th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the abundance You are willing to give us. So far, I am already amazed by the journey You have brought me through. And the incredible thing is that this abundance will become immeasurably greater. All things not only work together for good for those who love You, but also form a path of learning for us to become more and more like You, and to see more of Your redemptive plan in our lives.

Dear Lord, thank You for prompting me today, through the preacher, to reflect again on the power of Your resurrection. I ask You to bless Your children in this city, that they may think more deeply about Your resurrection and how it can bring forth abundant life in them.

Thank You for the many things we can learn from You. But today, I ask one specific thing for Your children: teach us how to commune with the Father as You did, and help us know how wonderful it is that You taught us to pray beginning with “Our Father.” Thank You for the sacrifice that allows us to come boldly before the Father and pray: Hallowed be Thy name. May Your will be done.

Please teach us how to pray, so that we may know how to respond to Your love for us.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with the one who loves Him.

Amen.

"Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing His bleeding love"

---Isaac Watts, Not all the Bood of Beasts

This is the 47th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your mercy and grace, for You patiently wait for more vessels to be emptied by You and filled with Your glory.

Help us to believe and rejoice, to wait and see curses removed in this city. I ask You to give more cheerful and united voices to this city, to sing of Your bleeding love. Renew Your children's minds daily, so that we are able to sing new songs to praise You.

Thank You for Your unfailing and unconditional love; may everything that has breath praise You.

Hallowed be Thy name.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive.

Amen.

Last week I shared with a sister that if we think the way is wide, then we will search for the wide way; if we think the way is narrow, then we will search for the narrow way. And Christ is indeed that narrow and only door.

This is the 46th weekly prayer,

Dear Heavenly Father,

Help us to know the Truth, to know more of You. Don't let us put You in the box, don't let us put You in our narrow thoughts and be astray in the wide road that lead to destruction, but help us to get through the narrow door, please lead us to abundant life.

Lead us not into any comfort that is not out of You, but only to receive Your comfort through the faith given by You, to receive Your comfort by believing Your Spirit is praying for us, believing our names are written in Your hands and the book of life.

Dear Lord, thank You for the abundance that You are willing to give us in the narrow path.

Capability is not the calling,

God's calling carries the capability He gives.

This is the 45th weekly prayer,

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the wilderness.

Thank You for the wilderness, where I can know more of You and come to know more of myself.

Thank You for the talents You have given me, especially those formed in the wilderness. I ask that You direct me to use them according to Your will. And unless I am filled with Your Spirit—unless I first seek and find Your will—please do not let me use them at all.

As You did with Bezalel in the wilderness, I believe You will do the same for me, granting me the ability to carry out and create all that You command me to do. Thank You for these callings.

I ask that You would also do the same for those who will work with me in the future—that they would have confidence from You to use the talents You have given them to be used for Your will.

I trust You and I love You.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive.

Amen.

The past week has been fruitful and productive. There has been much fellowship and many new insights in my way of thinking. I finished another book and even tried new activities that I had never tried before.

This is the 44th weekly prayer,

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your warmth and Your presence, and for the company of others, so that we can enjoy the world and food You created. It is wonderful that we can see more colors of this world as we grow closer and closer to You. Remind us of Your strength when we see the sun; remind us of Your promises when we see the stars. And yet, please do not let our imagination limit our faith in Your wonders. Please show us Your love that surpasses all things, more than anything else.

Dear Father, do not let where we stand or what we have gone through hinder us. Help us to surrender to You and to always be excited to see Your mighty works. Please help us to focus on Your redemptive plan as the greater picture, and help us to be faithful in every step toward You.

Dear Lord, please help us to run the race, to learn how to rest while running, to strive to receive more of You, and to rest in having more of You, so that we can be more and more like You.

Dear Holy Spirit, please come into every relationship that is ordained by You to honor and glorify You. Help us to understand more of Your love in relationships so that we may know more about our triune God, and so that we and more of Your children may rise like the sun in its strength to radiate Your love to more and more who are lost.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with the one who loves Him, forever and ever.

Amen.

God created the world through His Word. Whatever He says will come to pass. He is faithful to His Word. Integrity is something that is greatly lacking in this society.

This is my 43rd weekly prayer,

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please continue to teach me how to align my words with my deeds. Please teach me how to always speak and act according to the measure of faith You have assigned to me. And Lord, please continue to increase my faith in You, so that I may be able to guide more people to You through You in the future—not by winning arguments in debates, but by pointing out their broken reality and guiding them to You with hope.

For Your name’s sake, dear Lord, as You have prompted me to post prayers in public, I ask You to show Your faithfulness through these prayers.

You are the faithful One who calls me, and You will do it. For I am Your workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which You prepared beforehand, that I should walk in them through Your Holy Spirit.

This is Your promise. All glory to the Holy One.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive.

Amen.

Several people have shared that they were encouraged by these weekly prayers. Last week, one was even shared right on time. I am very grateful that God has used these prayers to encourage others. It is entirely by His grace, and they come from the conviction He has given me.

For more than seven years, I saw a verse on a wall almost every week, yet I never responded to it. I did not care about the people in this city; I only wanted to benefit from this place. I believe these prayers are from my repentance and obedience to what He has called me to do. Yet they are no longer a burden to me, but a continual guidance from Him—helping me to see more of His grace and wonder, and to deepen my relationship with Him.

This is the 42nd weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your mercy, that these prayers can be an encouragement to others. When we were still in the bondage of sins, You have prepared the way for us to walk in. You did it for Peter who denied You; You did it for Paul who persecuted You; You did it for me, who ignored You. You are the same yesterday and today and forever.

Please continue to encourage those who are pursuing You, and help us to obey Your commands out of an ever-growing understanding of Your love for us.

Please increase the faith of Your children who seek You, so that they may love their neighbors and their surroundings more and more in Your way. Help us to see people through Your eyes—not according to what they have done, but with the understanding that each person is uniquely made in Your image.

Help us to realize that we can be more than our brokenness, for the thoughts You have toward Your children are thoughts of peace and not of evil. Help us to have and maintain pure hearts, so that we will always find You when we seek You, as You have promised.

I believe that whatever You have spoken will come to pass, revealing how great and loving You are.

Thank You for You first loved us.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with the one who loves Him.

Amen.

This week I finished reading Müller’s book Answers to Prayer, which describes how, throughout his ministry, he never told others about his physical needs, yet God provided for all of them—and even more.

This had a profound impact on me. The main goal of my ministry is to awaken people’s consciences and enable them to exercise them. I believe that true graciousness leads people to give willingly and proactively—to even search for needs to meet—rather than waiting until someone asks.

This is the 41st weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being faithful to George Müller, so that I can read how gracious You were to him and to these orphans. I believe You are the same God who takes care of Your children’s needs in this city.

Just as truly humble people never say they are humble, truly gracious people never say they are gracious. Dear Lord, I pray that people in this city would be sincerely gracious in helping others and would not wait until someone asks. Help Your children understand that when we were still in bondage to sin, You laid down Your life for us. May this love be the center of this ministry.

And let people see that this graciousness is not due to us, but to You in us, so that they might be moved by the Holy Ghost and begin to grow curious about You.

Please continue to humble us, so that we can be used to demonstrate that You are a loving and just God.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive.

Amen.

This is the 40th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Help us to believe that

Where we are will not define us,

What we’ve been through won’t confine us.

Chains of injustice can’t fine us,

Only the Way we walk will refine us.

You are the Way, the Truth, the Life.

Help us to comprehend Your love on the cross more than anything else,

and walk in freedom and joy.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive.

Amen.

Praying into details is a theme the Lord keeps teaching me. I am deeply grateful that during my conversations with a sister last weekend, whenever something surfaced, we were reminded to pray immediately and to place it fully into the Lord’s hands.

This is the 39th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for continually reminding me to pray. Thank You for answering my prayers. I ask that You would also keep reminding Your children in this city to pray—to seek You attentively and ask into details with a sincere curiosity for truth, and with faithful hearts willing to put truth into practice. Teach us never to treat prayer as a ritual, but to come before You always with sincerity, humility, and honesty.

Dear Lord, I also ask You to expose every wrong ritual and evil practice, all distorted teachings and false witnesses—especially those disguised under good appearances. Shatter them by the light of Your Truth, according to Your standards alone, not anyone else’s. Please bring an end to every influence of warlock practices, and to all forms of manipulation and information-gathering that masquerade as care. Please clean this place from the inside out.

May You bless this city and keep it. May You make Your face shine upon it and be gracious to it.

May Berlin become a city of light, where Truth is made unmistakably clear—highlighted with a bold exclamation mark!

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name, I pray and receive.

Amen.

I am grateful that I have the opportunity to sing hymns with brothers and sisters. I am especially grateful to sing “This Is My Father’s World.” I really love the lyrics that reflect Psalm 19:

“The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament shows His handiwork.

Day unto day utters speech,

And night unto night reveals knowledge.”

And yes, our Father,  "He speaks to us everywhere."

This is the 38th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the wonderful opportunity to praise You with hymns, to know that we stand on the shoulders of followers throughout history, to have a better glimpse of heaven, and to gain a deeper understanding of You through music and lyrics. Help us to be even more grateful, knowing that it is You who sustains the entire history of the human world.

Help us not to be trapped in the past, but to move toward the unfailing hope of the future and eternity. Help us to believe that through true repentance, mistakes will not take place again. Help us to continue to submit our wills to You and keep us in obedience.

Help us to perceive and believe that all of this is possible because there was a Man who hung on the cross for us, defeated death, and now sits at the right hand of the Mighty God, ruling His kingdom with forgiveness and love. And that Man is our Lord, Jesus of Nazareth. Help us to understand more the width, length, height, and depth of the Gospel, and to continue to pass it on.

Dear Lord, this city needs You.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name I pray and receive,

Amen.

In the past few days, God has brought me several fun and surprising encounters. He knows that I enjoy interesting and unexpected things. I asked Him to speak to me in humorous ways, and He continues to do so. I am very happy.

This is the 37th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being a humorous Daddy! Even when Your humor sometimes feels like a horror to others, it is good, because it reveals what they truly fear and the lies they cling to. Thank You for the trust I have in You, which allows me to experience more and more joy in my abundant life, together with true brothers and sisters who pursue You.

May those who love You in this city enjoy more of Your grace and understand more of Your humor, so we can share with others that we have a loving and humorous Daddy. At the same time, dear Father, please let those who reject Your love encounter the consequences of their choices, so that they may eventually turn to You and be blessed with the beginning of understanding Your ways.

Dear Father, I pray that more people in this city will:

see Your humor in dealing with rumors,

hear truth instead of whispers,

speak life instead of suspicion,

choose the Gospel instead of gossip,

and walk in the light instead of echo chambers.

And when You speak, let us be silent to listen and learn the way You communicate, so that we too may eventually speak like You—even in a humorous way!

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Over the past few months, I have been discussing what the Church is with people from different backgrounds and nations. These conversations have led me to believe that God is revealing more about what His Church truly is. Indeed, for me, the Church should be the heart of the city.

This is my 36th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for continually revealing and teaching us what Your Church is—who Your Bride truly is. Thank You for the beautiful covenant with Your Church: that You are our Chief Shepherd; that You always love us, guide us, feed us, perfect us, and discipline us when needed. May the true churches in this city be blessed by You. May they be united through one and the same vision—You alone.

Thank You for answering my last weekly prayer, You are our united vision.

Thank You for emphasizing that the true Church is not an organization that uses Your name in vain, not a group of Christian professionals, and not merely a cultural community, but an assembly of people who passionately seek You alone, where “You are in the midst.”

You are the Head of the church, and if You are not the Head, let it come to an end; false witness should never prosper.

I know this may seem foolish in the eyes of the world, but thank You, Lord, for giving me the courage to pray this out loud. Dear Lord, may You be in the midst of Berlin, and may this city of people become Your Church. I pray for a return to the teachings of Scripture and for lives to be filled with Your Holy Spirit.

May the true churches in Berlin hear what the Spirit says to the churches and be the light of this city.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name I pray and receive.

Amen.

Recently, I’ve been chatting with several people who are looking for jobs. Today, God put an interesting thought on my heart: it might be meaningful to gather the people I know who are seeking employment and do something for God together. To practically address unemployment, we need a vision—and a way to let blessings flow creatively.

This is the 35th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this inspiration. Once again, You have taught me that to do something together, in unity, we must share the same vision. The ultimate force that unites people and moves them to strive toward the same goal is You. So I ask You to place the same vision in the hearts of those who will work with me. Please bring us peace, clarity, and curiosity to seek what You desire us to do.

Now I pray for these people: please purify their hearts so that they may share the same vision as I do, for my only desire is to glorify You. Renew their minds so that they will not be confined by the ways of this world. Lord, I want people who can turn the world upside down with me, and I do not want to compromise on that. Please increase all of our faith in You, so that even when we do not know what to do, we keep our eyes fixed on You—and that is enough.

Help us to believe that we will not struggle in our battles, because You are with us and will continue to be with us. Let the fear of You fall upon this city and even the world when they hear that You have fought against our enemies.

All glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Last week I witnessed a miracle. After a conversation with a lady, I sensed that she was still holding unforgiveness. So I asked her to pray and ask God to help her forgive, regardless of her feelings. In the following days, God’s justice came. She later told me that she had not even been aware of her unforgiveness before. Truly, forgiveness brings healing.

This is the 34th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your forgiveness. Thank You for Your sacrifice when we were still sinners. Thank You for Your love and kindness—slow to anger and rich in mercy toward us.

Dear Father, I ask for forgiveness in this city, that people would be willing to forgive. Please remind those who are unaware of unforgiveness in their hearts. Soften their hearts and help them make the decision to forgive. Let them know that You are willing to help them overcome bitterness. Give them faith to believe that when they ask, You will answer and help them.

But Lord, I ask for sincere hearts—not forgiveness for the sake of gaining approval from people, not reconciliation only on the surface, not maintaining relationships merely to satisfy personal desires.

Lastly, Lord, I pray that You would show this city that You reign over a kingdom that commands forgiveness and love, and that obedience to Your commands unlocks abundant blessings.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name I pray and receive,

Amen.

I am so grateful to talk to a sister yesterday. She was prompted to share the verse in Isaiah 61:3 after we prayed together.

To give them beauty for ashes,

The oil of joy for mourning,

The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;

That they may be called trees of righteousness,

The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

This is the 33rd weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please give us the faith to believe that we are the trees of righteousness planted by You. Help us not to doubt that we will bear fruit in season, because You not only planted us, but continue to supply all that we need. We abide in You.

Please give us Your wisdom and insight to look into the issues in this society out of love, and also to take action to articulate the issues with solutions. Dear Father, please remove all complaints from our hearts, because in every situation and moment, You are willing to teach us new things and to nourish us.

Please reshape our minds so that we will not base our discernment on incidents and circumstances themselves, but only on the consistency of Your teaching, to discern where we are and what we are to do through Your Spirit.

Your word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path.

We have inclined our hearts to perform Your statutes, forever, to the very end.

Help us to sustain that “Yes” till the end.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray and receive,

Amen

The theme of “Justice” has been spiraling around my head for more than two years. I believe God, my Mighty Father, wants to remind us that He is a just God, and that He has seen everything.

This is the 32nd weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Praise You for who You are, and thank You for being my just God. I know You are slow to anger and great in mercy, and I also know that this doesn’t mean You tolerate lawlessness. That doesn’t mean You overlook the poor, the weak, and Your people who are under injustice. Vengeance is Yours, and You will repay. This battle is Yours, and I will continue to pray for justice.

I come boldly before You and ask that Your justice will be manifested greatly in 2026. The darkness and evil in Berlin will be greatly confronted by Your justice. Any root of lies, false witnesses, and compromising silence in front of evil will be exposed under the light, in public. May Your Truth shatter the darkness.

As You have promised: “Light shines on the righteous and joy on the upright in heart.” I particularly ask for light for the righteous and joy for the upright from You this year in Berlin.

I will continue to pray like Elijah; I pray that there will be no rain for the unrighteous and rain for the righteous in this city. I ask You to purify the city and replace the frail foundation with righteousness and justice, just as the foundation of Your throne.

Thank You for not only being the consuming fire, but my consuming fire. Thank You for being our Judge, who is standing at the door, and who will surely bring justice to victory for us.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I pray,

Amen

Today is the last day of 2025.

This is the 31th prayer:

The conversation with the Father.

"Will you burn to the end?"

"Yes." I answered.

What a surprise that the 30th weekly prayer post is on Christmas Eve! Having a surprise itself is not surprising, but the form and the content of the surprise are still surprising. Something like this has happened many, many times, and I still enjoy it. God has a great sense of humor and really good at making me smile!!!

This is the 30th weekly prayer,

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for calling us beloved. And thank You for the inspiration of writing this poem for You.

"View our lives through the vast macro

Of His eternal purpose sublime.

Trusting Him fully in every micro

Along the faithful path He has prepared.

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace—

Holy Majesty beyond all names and all praise,

Yet stooping low to call me beloved."

Dear Father, we ask You to bless every beloved child who loves You and lives in this city tonight. We also ask You to bless the beloved who are temporarily in the darkness now. May Your light shine when they understand that not partially but every part of their heart needs Your light to shine upon, needs Your love to warm and let it grow. May they eventually fix their eyes on the only worthy One, Jesus Christ. And lastly, may Your Spirit fill the people who have hunger toward You, give them the strength for every next breakthrough.

Thank You for coming for us. We love You.

Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name I pray and receive,

Amen

A series of unexpected incidents and healings happened this week. Also, I appreciate that I got a sentence from Read Choi’s interview:

“The quality of your life comes from the quality of the questions you ask.”

This is a very inspiring sentence; I even shared it in an unexpected conversation.

This is the 29th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your wisdom. Please help and teach us to continue to ask You the right question, at the right time, with the right manner. Afflictions and suffering will happen, but teach us, in every circumstance, how to reflect and ask the right questions—not to lean on our own understanding, and not to look only at the things that are seen. Help us to ask for the things that are unseen but the things that You are willing to reveal to us. Humble us, so that we won’t be limited by the current situation, and not to complain, but to ask You with the right attitude, and trust You more after every time we ask.

Thank You for being our pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. We believe that You have opened a series of doors for us that no one can shut, and thank You for showing this to me as a vision before. And thank You for the revelation that sometimes You are willing to use us as the key to open some doors not only for us but also for others.

Thank You for Your warmth especially at night as a fire.

Nec tamen consumebatur.

We love You.

In Jesus’ precious and mighty name we pray,

Amen

In the past days, we heard several good news; we saw several fruits from our prayers. We appreciate that we were reminded how important it is to pray in the Holy Spirit, because we can only know God’s will for us through His Spirit; even glorifying Him, we have to depend on Him.

This is the 28th Weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We praise You. You have brought us this far, we are excited about our future. There will be faith, hope, and love throughout our entire lives. Dear Lord, we ask for more, we ask for more people that will know the importance of praying in Your Spirit, which means to exalt Your name above all names, empty themselves to listen to You, and have that tremendous joy from the communion with You.

We praise You for who You are, for every conversation You've granted us is not wasted or meaningless. You have granted us the wisdom to reflect, You have granted us the inspiration to move forward. May You help us with our obedience to You, because we want to see more of You in the path of obedience, perseverance, and endurance. There will be suffering, misunderstanding, and disappointments from the world, but we will not lose heart, for You have overcome the world.

This is a wild journey but filled with Your love toward us. So Lord, Abba Father, dear Holy Spirit, please reveal more of Yourself to us, let us know more about You with humility. And please, let what we are fighting for, what we are standing for, become blessings to our families and generations after generations. Give us the strength to stand firm, and the passion to see Your grace, power, and glory throughout every aspect of our lives.

May You remember our determinations now, and help us to keep the word from our mouth; may the words of our mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Thy sight and only for Your glory.

In Jesus’ mighty and precious name we pray,

Amen.

A few days ago, a brother in Christ shared with me that he had encountered homeless people who needed a cell phone to contact family and make appointments. A few weeks ago, I also met a lady who asked to use my phone to call a shelter to see if she could stay there for the night. Access to information is important for them and for us. I’m looking forward to our conversation this weekend.

This is the 27th Weekly prayer:

Dear Father in Heaven,

We ask You to bring clarity to us, for You are the only Truth, and You are the light that can shatter darkness. In this era of information overload and AI, we truly need discernment from You. We ask Your Spirit to continue guiding us in how to think and process all the information You show us. We do not want to rely solely on our own understanding to comprehend anything, for we alone don't know what is good or evil.

Please continue to teach us, dear Lord, how to pray in Your Spirit so that we will definitely know Your will. We desire nothing that is not from You or not for You. Mighty God, let all humans be silent in Your presence and maintain reverence toward You. Please, do not let our prayers be empty—humble us so that we may listen to Your will in stillness.

Please write Your Word on the tablet of our hearts. Let our hearts not be shaped by circumstances or past experiences, but receive the living water that continues to pour down for healing and transformation, for You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). We are grateful that You showed us this verse right after we prayed for Your Word to be written on our hearts. You are so faithful and loving. Amen. Let our hearts reflect on Your promises so that we will never lose heart.

Lord, it is remarkable that Psalm 34 was written after David pretended to be mad in front of someone. Lord, if we appear “crazy” or “out of our minds” in front of people, let it all be for You, because we believe we have the mind of Christ. And also because You dwell in us and fill us now.

In the holy name of Jesus we pray,

Amen.

In the past few days, we are happy that we can pray and have Bible study together. We appreciate that God granted us the surprising chances to do that.

This is the 26th Weekly prayer:

Dear Lord, Heavenly Father,

We thank You that we can have these precious chances to pray together and study Your word together. May Your Word establish our hearts, and continue to humble us, so that we will have wise words for others, and have wisdom for the people in need.

In You we live and move and have our being, please give us the heart to continue to pursue You, and always remind us of Your holy Love, grace and mercy, reveal more Yourself to us, so that we may be more and more like You, because we will know Who You are deeper and deeper.

We also want to pray for all the homeless people in Berlin right now. We ask for Your mercy that please show them Your warmth, and please encounter them and invite them to start a personal relationship with You, just as You did to us before.

We praise You, dear Lord. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, the communion of the Holy Spirit be with us, forever and ever. May You use us to bless this city, and as the preparation for the bigger prayer house to be built.

In the holy name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray,

Amen

Last week I met a homeless person. I had planned to share some information with him, then a Bible verse, and also give him some money after the conversation. But when I started speaking, he thought I was disturbing his begging. He only wanted money and asked me to leave. So I left without giving him anything, even though that was what he wanted. This experience reminded me that it is God who decides how to help us. It’s never up to us to determine the way God should work or the form His help should take.

This is my 25th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for prompting people to come to me to ask for my prayer requests for this ministry. I am grateful for how You always move hearts at exactly the right time. I pray that You will speak to each person who is involved now and who will be involved in the future. Let Your voice be super clear to them so they cannot deny it. Strengthen them by greatly increasing their faith and peace, so they may know with confidence that this is the path You desire them to walk. May Your Spirit move powerfully in them and in me—with a double portion.

Lord, I ask for more. I ask that You grant them great discernment. Let the mind of Christ become their mind, so that they can discern all things through You, not relying on their own understanding. Please give them clear instructions on how to help people in Your way, and to do everything in love. Remind us that our ability to help and give comes entirely from Your grace and mercy—without You, we have nothing.

Father, I pray—and will continue to pray—that these people remain always abiding in You. Guard their hearts and minds with Your deep peace. Please give them a longing to know the width, length, depth, and height of Your love—love that surpasses all knowledge—so that the Light shining through us becomes an undeniable testimony that edifies and blesses all humanity, created in Your image.

Thank You for first loving us. I love You.

In Jesus’ mighty and precious name I pray,

Amen.

I am grateful that, since I began sharing with more people, I have received greater support and valuable information. I believe that the thoughts expressed on the website are answered prayers—not only my own, but also those of others. I deeply appreciate the brothers and sisters who care about this and lift it up in prayer. May the incense of our prayers rise continuously to the throne of Heaven.

This is my 24th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for letting me know that You are always in control, and that You always love me. Thank You that I have never once doubted, in my life, that when I pray I am speaking to You—not to nobody or to the air. Thank You that I can always feel Your presence now. Thank You for the examples of faith in Your Word: that Enoch walked with You for hundreds of years, that Moses talked with You like a friend, and that You gave me, since I was little, the simple faith to say, "I want that." You answered my childhood prayers, and even now, I continue to experience Your nearness.

You have never turned away from me, and You have never forsaken me. Even now, I know that suffering is also an expression of Your love. It may seem a crazy thought to others, but I don’t mind, because it is not only an expression of Your love, it is also the Truth. Later today, in the passage of the Bible study, 1 Peter 4:1 mentions: “Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.” You ask us to “arm” our minds with the willingness to embrace and experience suffering for You, and that is the key to ceasing from sin. Suffering makes me feel so alive, and I no longer have to endure or compromise any fakeness in my life. You have given me the freedom.

My dear Abba Father, please give me everything I can receive from You to appropriate Your Word into my life and society, to do a Christian suppose to do, and simply be the light in the darkness.

Thank You, my best Friend.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I pray,

Amen

In the past few days, I’ve been talking a lot. It’s amazing that God made a person like me, usually so quiet, become so talkative now. I was even reminded that we were running out of time and that I should pause and continue next time. It really shows that so much is happening.

This is my 23th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You, Lord, for continuing to answer my prayers. Last week, I asked for discernment about who I should work and collaborate with, and this week, You prompted me to pray about potential investors, especially asking for wisdom regarding them.

Thank You for already showing me the essence of this through my past experiences. I do not want problematic investors—if they do not understand the core value of SEiN, or if they do not have a sincere heart to help, I would rather not have their money. And, Lord, please forbid any money that is not meant for Your glory from entering SEiN. If it is not from You, give me the wisdom and boldness to say no.

Please give me patience to wait upon You and not be distracted by seemingly quick-fix solutions. I desire only Your solution. Even in future cases that may appear urgent or like emergencies, help me to remain patient and trust that You will always show me the way and provide everything I need at the perfect time. If it is not Your provision, please make it clear to me every time, and give me the confidence to reject it.

Lord, thank You for the mechanisms to bring in investors and people willing to work on this mission. May the resources that come through them serve the needy and the poor; may not even a single cent be wasted. May all money and material resources be used solely to glorify You.

Please give me an assertive mind, rooted in faith, and help me submit to Your will every time.

And Lord, please teach me how to make my mind to rest when needed.

In Jesus’ mighty and precious name I pray,

Amen

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to share my testimonies and the project that God has placed on my heart. During the 17th weekly prayer, I asked God to teach me how to speak — and He answered that prayer. I was given the chance to share with people from different churches.

This is my 22th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for teaching me how to pray according to Your will, so that I can deeply experience Your grace and faithfulness. In that moment, I didn’t know clearly what I was going to say, but I vividly remember Your promise: “Open your mouth, and I will fill it.” And You did. Thank You also for the boldness You gave me, so that I could share my hope in You.

Lord, I also pray for discernment — to know who to work and collaborate with. Not everyone who seems helpful truly is; sometimes it costs more to work with someone whose heart is not sincere, even if their appearance is appealing. Please help me draw the line in the sand and stick to it — according to Your standard, not mine. Teach me how to say no when it is necessary, and help me to focus not on what is seen, but to obey You through the faith You have given me and will continue to increase.

Continue to teach me how to speak and express myself, and at the same time, remind me in my heart that it is not about being worthy, skillful, or knowledgeable in human eyes, but about being faithful to the only worthy One. Burn this same truth into the hearts of those I work with closely now and in the future, for without You, we cannot accomplish anything good.

Teach us, Lord, and keep us abiding in You always.

In Jesus’ mighty and precious name I pray,

Amen

In the past few days, I discovered an interesting saying to encourage myself: let’s “archive” something. Let’s archive selfishness; let’s archive numbness. Although I put “ending homelessness” at the moment, one day I will label this crisis as “archived.”

This is my 21th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the encouragement, and thank You for bringing people to me who are willing to help. You answered my prayers, and You continue to give me the faith and grace to pray. I would say, teach me to pray according to Your will and use me for Your will — it is my lifetime prayer. But if there is anything that I can ask more, anything deeper that I can ask for, please, I want to know, and I must know.

What is the purpose of living, dear Lord, please teach Your people. Remove the selfishness and numbness, especially in this “self”-promoting era. Help them to deny themselves to follow You without hesitation and concern. And Father, I ask for Your mercy — please help them to comprehend Your love and understand Your justice. Especially Your wrath toward evils — please restore the fear of You in people’s hearts. Please let them know You are King of kings and Lord of lords, so that they can understand love in a way that is not self-centered or distorted. Help them to remember the cross, help them to remember the cross and pick up their crosses to follow their Lord and Savior.

Thank You, for You are love, and love never fails.

You are truly the consuming fire.

In Jesus’ mighty and precious name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Last weekend, I found myself recalling several conversations and finally having deeper talks with people I hadn’t connected with in that way before. Then, as I was praying, this idea suddenly came to me.

This is the 20th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this idea. So many things are now coming together for good, and it’s amazing to see how You orchestrate everything. It’s wild at times, but I love it. Even now, I sense there are small pieces that You will use mightily in the future — and I deeply appreciate that.

Thank You for not letting me compromise. I pray that only those who, like the ones in the story of Gideon, lapped the water with their hands, will join this work. Father, I ask that only those whom You have chosen to go with me will walk with me — and I trust that You will show me who they are.

Lord, I pray for people to say “yes” to You — and to remain faithful to that “yes.” Thank You in advance for these people. Please prepare their hearts, and mine as well, to wait upon You — just as the disciples waited together in unity in the upper room before Your Spirit came. And when You speak, may we move in obedience to what You show us to do.

Lord, I ask for that same unity, and for the boldness to stand firm in what You reveal — always with the motivation of love.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

This week I put some thoughts into a structural proof-of-concept plan, and several brothers and sisters gave me thoughtful and practical feedback that will help me improve further. Once again, God has revealed to me the importance of humanity, reminding me that selfishness has no place in a healthy society.

This is the 19th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for helping me to step forward. I remember that You prepared me long ago to brainstorm and write plans. Since my bachelor’s studies, I have written plans for student club events and records, camp programs, and even in my very first job after graduation, I created a thorough plan for an organization, including operations and budget. You have prepared me precisely for everything. Although that job was the most boring period of my life, now I can see the fruits.

I also want to thank You for stopping me from obtaining German citizenship before I understood the mindset of contributing back to society. I cannot merely take advantage of this place for my own convenience and give nothing in return. This is the same lesson for homeless people and for all of us—to contribute to the place where we live.

Lord, I want to pray as A.W. Tozer prayed: I ask You to sharpen my mind and enable me to receive everything You want to say to me. I ask You to anoint my head with the oil of the prophet so that I may speak Your truth to the people—for their strengthening, encouragement, and comfort.

I know this will not be an easy path, but by Your grace, I have learned the secret of how to rejoice always.

I rejoice for who You are.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

This week I caught the flu, which made me reflect again on the healthcare system in Germany. I don’t think setting a strict threshold for transitioning from public to private insurance is a good idea. The public healthcare system is already overloaded, while there is still capacity in the private sector. On another note, I also had fruitful conversations with people from different cities who share an interest in addressing homelessness.

---

This is my 18th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bringing me into a field I never imagined, and for using my personal experiences to give me compassion for those who are sick and in need of health resources. Thank You for showing me that there are deep, systematic problems that need to be solved. Please guide me in understanding how to approach this complex puzzle, and bring the right people alongside me—those who also carry the heart to transform the system.

Thank You, Lord, not only for the vision on the social system side, but also for leading me step by step into a new chapter on the business side. You are showing me how to raise funding and develop business plans. Please give me a heart that seeks not income for its own sake, but instead looks for how the environment and market respond. I especially pray for wisdom in raising public awareness about these very issues.

Lord, please restore humanity within people. Soften hardened hearts and remove the numbness and selfishness that pervades society. Teach us to have compassion for one another. May we be fruitful and multiply, both physically and spiritually through You, in order to fulfill the very first task You entrusted to humanity.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Recently, unexpectedly (yes, unexpectedly again!), I have a lot of conversations regarding homeless people outside of Germany. I am glad that there are people who also care about this deep issue in our societies.

---

This is my 17th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You once again for bringing people into conversations and showing me that there are people around the world who care about the homeless. I am not sure why You have brought so many people from outside of Germany into this, but I know there is a purpose. Please continue to reveal the path to me. Please guide the conversations and give us the wisdom and the motivation of love this weekend.

Father, I pray that You teach me to articulate my thoughts so that people can understand more easily. Sometimes these thoughts keep evolving in my mind, and my expression cannot stay up to date or synchronized. Please help me with speaking—and only with the things that You want me to speak or express. If there are things You do not want me to speak about, please keep my mouth shut. And when people do not understand, give me the discernment to know whether my speech needs more improvement. In any case, please help me to speak the truth that I believe, even when people do not understand.

And Lord, thank You for showing me that this project is happening, and that it is bigger than I expected. Thank You for all the prayers lifted for this project, for the homeless, and for the lost. Thank You for teaching me not to rush, for sharpening my patience, and for teaching me everything in prayer and through prayer.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

This week, I was available to say “yes” to some help, and I experienced healing from the Lord regarding my childhood. As a child, I didn’t have to be independent, because I was just a child. The Father told me that He was there from the beginning, so I didn’t need to be harsh on myself or feel like I had to be independent. The truth is, I never have to be independent—I am called to be dependent on my Heavenly Father.

---

This is my 16th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You, Lord, for the unexpected healing last week. I am grateful that You let me experience this healing before witnessing the tragedy of a brother in Christ, so that I may know with certainty that You will comfort those who mourn. Please give us vision to see beyond the brokenness, to recognize the hope within it, and to grasp it firmly and hold onto it. Lord, in every dark moment when the darkness feels overwhelming, let Your overwhelming love surpass it.

I have been reflecting on Your Word that says, “Rejoice always.” This makes me believe it is possible to rejoice even in sorrow. And in the following verses, You answer, “Pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances”—for this is Your will. So Lord, please help me to pray about everything. Teach me to bring all things before You, and continue to guide me to pray according to Your will.

Teach me and shape me to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Help me never to lose heart—in pain, in tears, in disappointment, or even in sickness. And please help me never to ignore injustice, especially corruption and broken systems that need to be changed. Give me all that I need if You are calling me to take part in that change, and help me step forward not with fear, but with love.

May Your will be done.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

This week, I was several times placed in situations where I had to reflect more on the way humans usually act—or how my old self tended to act. I’m thankful that early this morning, a brother in Christ blessed me with a prayer: that I can bring my questions before God, and that He may even resurrect the thoughts I once had in the past.

---

This is my 15th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this past week, for bringing me to the limit where I really have to think about my thoughts, and for helping me renew my mind — both in the surprise of joy and in the reflection that comes with pain.

Thank You for bringing the concept of time back to my attention. Especially about deadlines. I searched my memory and even checked with ChatGPT, and it seems that no biblical figure ever prayed, “God, by [exact date] I want to do this for You.” Some acted under timeframes You gave, others made conditional vows without dates, and some set practical timelines after prayer.

The truth is, all timeframes come from You. If I pursue You fervently and faithfully, without distractions, I don’t really need to set deadlines myself, because I walk together with You. Deadlines are only for people who are passive and need to push themselves forward. But You don’t delight in lukewarm or passive hearts. So please help me to do everything in Your timing, and remind me continually that You also care about my rest.

Lord, the next question I want to bring to You is how to shorten — or even remove, if possible — the gap between thoughts and practice. I long for integrity. Please teach me and help me. Give me discernment so that in every situation I face, I always follow Your instructions, Your timing, and be moved by Your grace-filled love. May I really believe that I can discover truth by grace, and confirm grace through truth.

Thank You for all the emotions You give me, and please give us hearts after Your own heart.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

In the past week, I have unexpectedly met more people and received many lessons about leadership through them. I feel so encouraged, and they come from different nations. Now I’ve already spoken with people from every continent in a short time! :)

---

This is my 14th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the lesson about leadership, and for using different people to speak to me. Thank You for showing me that one of the most important qualities of a leader is maintaining humanity in that position—not with fakeness, but with sincerity. Not by escaping, but by moving forward. Nowadays there are many lies about our emotions, and even attempts to numb us from feeling, so that we might escape true reality. Thank You for breaking those lies and revealing the truth.

Thank You for guiding me through all of this in the past, and for giving me clear goals to move forward. Yes, Father, I want to be a leader, and I will be a leader. I say “yes” to You now with clearer determination than before. I believe this is the path You want me to walk. All the talents and gifts You have given me, and will give me, I will use only for You. Lord, help me not to compromise in this—even in the small things that people might ignore. Help me not to give in at all. Build me and train me in the smallest things, so that through You I may be able to handle greater things in the near future.

Thank You for teaching me that a leader protects his or her people, not sacrifices them. With You, this is surely possible. Thank You, Lord, that You have given me a list of people I can work with. Please give me the wisdom to step forward, to begin recruiting, and to ask them to pray about the things You have placed in their hearts.

I trust You. And I trust that I trust You.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

In the past few weeks, I’ve explored the topic of judgment in several Bible studies, especially in 1 Corinthians. These times have led to some really practical and insightful conversations. I’ve come to see that we are always discerning between what is true and what is false—and that very act is a form of judgment. The real question, then, is not whether we judge, but how we judge: do we measure by God’s standard or by our own? To deny that we judge is both self-deceptive and an evasion of responsibility. It blinds us to truth, robs us of wisdom, and dulls our spiritual vision instead of sharpening it.

---

This is my 13th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Teach me to continue to discern with Your wisdom; teach me to continue to judge in Your standard. In the position You want me to stand, help me to stand firm and ignore the judgments that are not from You. Keep me in a gentle and lowly state, because I want this continuity: to seek a deeper understanding of You, to listen to Your voice clearer, and to enter into deeper peace in You.

Thank You for teaching me that there is no grey zone in You. There is only One Truth. Light is light, darkness is darkness. True is true, false is false. I don’t need to be double-minded in my life. I believe every intention or motivation not for You is false, because everything is created through You and for You. Help me to do everything in love and glorify You only.

Lord, I pray that I may have the love, endurance, and patience from You to sacrifice for love and bear fruit, even when others disagree. Continue to forge me and make me even smaller, so that I may see clearly that You are doing mighty things.

Father, thank You for convincing me that You have taught me and sustained me to keep myself in Your love, and never leave You. I will remain in Your presence and pour out my heart and all my question marks before You, to know my Creator more and more. And this will be my entire life.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Last weekend I met a friend with whom I’ve had many conversations about homeless people. As we talked, I remembered a discussion we had months ago, when we said that not every homeless person truly needs money. Back then, we came up with this “solution”: if I don’t bring my wallet, I don’t have to face the question of whether to give or not. At the time, I thought it was a clever idea.

But now I see it differently. That “solution” was actually just an excuse—something that allowed me to avoid the moment of discernment in each encounter. By doing that, I was also closing myself off from the chance to bless others with what I do have, whether that’s money, attention, or something else.

In truth, it was the behavior of burying the talent in the ground—ignoring the call to discern each situation and, in doing so, missing the opportunity to grow and to learn.

---

This is my 12th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for revealing these truths to me and for teaching me so much about generosity recently. You have reshaped my understanding of money, showing me that I should not measure things by money alone, but by true purpose and value. Money is only one of the many blessings You allow to circulate in the world; I should not be blocked by the numbers themselves. Accumulating material things can hinder the flow of Your blessings, but blessings are meant to run through people and water the earth.

Thank You for teaching me that the purpose of saving is not mere accumulation or “just in case.” True saving is preparation for times of famine or shortage, for specific use at the specific time, just as Joseph did before the famine.

Lord, help me to forget about numbers and instead rely on Your grace—both what You have given me and what You will provide. Teach me to take every thought captive and discern clearly why I use my resources before deciding how to use them. Money is merely a tool to help others, and You are the source of every provision that can bless people through me.

Help me to abandon all measurements of material things—neither quantity nor quality—and instead become a vessel through which Your blessings flow freely. All I truly need is You, and I trust that You will provide everything I truly need.

Thank You for loving me so deeply. Please continue to shape me so that I may be a channel of blessing to others.

Finally, thank You for letting me know that I am so rich in You—far more than a billionaire.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Recently, I unexpectedly encountered many faithful ministers. They risk their lives to reach unreached places, tribes, and even countries under persecution. Their stories have greatly encouraged me and reminded me once again of the blessing of remaining uncompromised.

---

This is my 11th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the encounters that have encouraged me so deeply. Thank You for letting me see the trajectory of Your grace. I know You are preparing something great and new for me. I can hardly imagine all these connections across the world. This is the hope You continue to grow in me—the hope of a global church founded only on You. Not to entertain people, not to compromise with cultures or modern agendas, not to feed self-ambition.

Thank You for impressing on my heart that if anyone uses a definition that does not come from the Bible to interpret the Bible, they will be misled and distort the truth—because the starting point is already wrong. You alone are the starting point. We must deny ourselves and follow You. And it is Your Holy Spirit who helps us understand Your Word, for without abiding in You, we can do nothing.

Thank You for making it so clear that: there are curses for those who compromise, and blessings for those who endure. And the blessings for those who endure are far greater than anything this world could offer or imagine.

Indeed, this is why I endure and am able to endure. Even more, You have granted me blessings I never imagined. Thank You for teaching me to care not about the number, but about the heart to give. This is such a precious lesson from You, and I know You will bless me more because I already know how to trust You and give. Thank You for all the opportunities You have given me—and will continue to give me—to give.

With You, my mighty God, all things are possible. You are my great Counselor and Provider, and in You, the word “budget” almost seems funny—because You supply all I truly need.

Thank You for teaching me to become more and more like You. I love You.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Thanks to a sister in Christ who prayed for me and shared a children's story as an analogy of going on an adventure with the Lord: We are going on a bear hunt.

---

This is the tenth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the story You shared through my sister in Christ. And thank You for the truth that I’ve revised a bit into my own version:
We’re going on a bear hunt.
We’re going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We’re not scared.
(While crossing the obstacles):
We can’t go over it.
We can’t go under it.
Oh yes!
We’ve got to go through it!

Because You are with me—and even go before me—this gives me great joy. And indeed, Your joy is my strength. I know, and I know, that You love my company, because I am Your beloved child. I also love to chat with You and enjoy Your sense of humor. Thank You that this has become the firm foundation for believing in Your promises, rather than being distracted by what is seen. Help me to stay focused on the unseen.

Even when others cannot understand me, it doesn’t hurt me deeply—because You understand me, even more than I understand myself. And that is more than enough. Your grace is sufficient in every moment. This is the great peace You continue to increase in me.

I thank You for giving me a deeper hunger and simple curiosity to know more about You. And I thank You that during this season, You’ve brought people into my life—several international groups of people who have no interest in human-made strategies, and who are willing to listen to the Holy Spirit, rather than trying to fit You into our limited views.

I pray that more will join us—to fellowship in Christ and make our joy complete. I pray that everyone who is and will be involved in this ministry may have this foundation in You, and hold the right posture in their hearts. I pray that there will be no compromise, no leaven involved. And let us not be stressed about any of this—for it is You who perfect our faith, not we ourselves.

And I pray, Lord, that we will have joy from You during this great adventure. And thank You that I can laugh at the time to come.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

I have had fruitful conversations over the past days, not only with believers but also with non-believers. These moments remind me once again of the urgent need to pray for people’s salvation.

---

This is the ninth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the divine reminder that we must urgently pray for people’s salvation. At the same time, help us take our faith seriously—taking every thought captive, examining and testing ourselves to see whether we are truly in the faith. May Christ Jesus be in us at every moment. If not, Lord, I ask for Your mercy—please burn away our doubts, so that we may look straight into Your eyes and not be distracted. Remove any numbness and apathy in our hearts when we see the lost; give us Your heart and Your mind for those who do not yet know You.

I want to lift up before You the ministry in Pakistan that one of my prayer groups is supporting. Their sewing skills center for women has been asked to vacate its location. Lord, I ask that You open a new door for them and give them clear direction and instruction to overcome this difficult time by Your grace.

As I pray for them, I also thank You for inspiring me with the vision to open a job training center and begin brainstorming possible job opportunities for homeless people—so that they may have their own “fishing rods” to fish for themselves.

Thank You also for the clear instruction to make this ministry more public, and for reminding me to set the SEO settings on the website by the end of August.

Finally, Lord, I once again lift up the people in my heart. May they not quench or grieve the Holy Spirit. Please open their hearts and minds to receive You as their Lord and Savior, and may they be baptized with Your Spirit and with fire. Please, Lord, bring back Your prodigal sons and daughters with Your holy love. Let them know that there is no shame in repentance—only Your deep and unending love.

Your will shall be done for sure.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Thank you for the lesson that deep-dived into the reality of the emotions from a brother in Christ. We don't need the superficial emotions but a heart from God. We should not be afraid of being angry but dive into true righteous anger with a pure heart, so that we would understand the wrath of God and turn it towards our true enemies.

---

This is the eighth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,Thank You for speaking through a brother and once again writing Your word on my heart—that we should love righteousness and hate wickedness—so that You will set us above our companions by anointing us with the oil of joy.

Thank You for revealing the enemies’ plans beforehand, so we can rely on You more deeply and continue to feast abundantly in their presence. I thank You that what has been stolen throughout our lives is being restored with extra blessing. You are our exceedingly great reward.

I know You are pouring down the heavy rain of righteousness in Berlin from today. Let judgment run down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream. I pray that Your children who still rely on their own strength and strategies to resist the righteous waters will be drawn into an even greater vortex—so they learn to depend only on You. And for those who surrender and flow with the righteous stream, teach them how to breathe in it and find true freedom. Thank You for mercy in the form of anger, and healing in the form of discipline. Thank You for Your willingness to forgive.

Thank You for being our judge. May the righteous rain heal the poor in this city.

Berlin belongs to God.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

A close sister in Christ, who is an English teacher, has taught a particular book for years. It’s a story that touches on aspects of homelessness in Berlin. The book is called Go, Went, Gone by Jenny Erpenbeck. I recently received a copy—thank you so much for sharing it with me!

---

This is the seventh weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for all the fellowship I have with brothers and sisters across nations. This week, I witnessed our fellowship group see deliverance from slavery in Pakistan through prayer and the financial support provided by Your hand. An entire family is now able to start a new life, free from bondage.

And this ministry and these projects are in their prayers as well. Thank You not only for reminding us to pray for one another’s struggles, but also to pray for how each of us may glorify You. We have truly experienced Your faithfulness and unexpected surprises through every season.

Thank You for the revelation that it always begins with prayer meetings. And thank You for the edification that praying together for unity is itself an act of unity. Lord, this was truly Your prayer for us before You went to the cross.

Therefore, one thing I have prayed—and continue to pray—for all of us is this: please continue to teach us how to pray according to Your will, so that You will fill us with all joy and peace in believing, that we may abound in hope by the power of Your Spirit.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

In the past week, I really sense that everything is working for good for the one who loves the Lord in an abundant way. He is moving super fast this week.

---

This is the sixth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for all these revelations so far, and for more in the coming days. May You pour down Your heavenly wisdom unto us, so that we can comprehend more about the world You have created with love, and meditate on Your word so that we can discover the details and find the joy within it.

May You continue to grant us the heart to pray not only for the homeless people in Berlin, but also for all those who haven’t yet found where they belong — they belong to the Lord and Savior. And please grow our hearts to long even more for our heavenly home that You have prepared for us.

Suffering is the path we are called to walk. Please teach us how to find joy within it, and grant us fellowship time in You to make our joy complete. I believe that we won't veil Your glory — we burn to hallow Your name with all that we are. That is what we are made for.

Abba Father, I bend my knees before You, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that You would grant us, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through Your Spirit in the inner self, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; and that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth — and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge — that we may be filled to all the fullness of God.

Thank You for loving us so much. I believe we both love You and will love You more than yesterday, every day.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Praise the Lord! A person said yes to be my future employee. Thank God that He "lent" me His faithful servant to help me :)

---

This is the fifth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bringing us together to pray and wait upon You to show us this path. I don’t have much money right now, but You will provide. You have shown me many, many times that verse in Psalm 67—even now. I also want to say it out loud: Then shall the earth yield her increase; And God, even our own God, shall bless us!

Thank You for giving us this vision—that we have to discharge or break the dams and let the blessings go through the land. And thank You for the privilege that we can also build the canals to redirect the blessings to the needs.

Lord, I pray for wisdom for us to discern, and to depend on You only for such a time. And I pray that we will only be motivated by Your holy love. May we focus on Your Word—and You are the Word.

Your law is perfect, reviving the soul;
Your testimony is sure, making wise the simple;
Your precepts are right, rejoicing the heart;
Your commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of You is clean, enduring forever;
Your rules are true, and righteous altogether.

May the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight. All glory to You, our Rock and our Redeemer.

In Jesus' name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Last week, I had the opportunity to accompany social workers to the front lines, where we reached out and spoke with homeless individuals I wouldn't normally encounter in daily life. This experience gave me a new perspective and inspired fresh ideas on how to support them.

---

This is the fourth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your faithful servants in Teen Challenge Berlin. They pray and are motivated by Your love to help people. And thank You for these encounters. I pray that the people we met last week can have open hearts to listen to the Gospel. May they eventually know that what can save them and help them in their situation is not people, not food, money, or a home — it’s You and only You. May they know they have a Lord and Savior who cares for them.

And dear Lord, thank You for revealing other things — that they need discipline, and that they also need to have a correct portal to access true information, not rumors. So thank You for the idea that I should develop a knowledge hub to provide information not only for them but also for the people who want to help them. And thank You for the provision — You have shown me how to set up the infrastructure to facilitate the platform through my current job.

You did show me every step I would step into, and You did go before me to prepare the right people and the right things in the right place at the right time. Praise You, my dear Father. I pray that there will be more of Your children singing to You with thanksgiving, making melody to You on the lyre. Thank You for taking pleasure in those who fear You, in those who hope in Your steadfast love.

May I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice, embracing the inheritance from You and the filling of my treasuries You grant, to build Your kingdom for You.

In Jesus' name I pray and receive,

Amen.

I’m grateful for the conversation earlier today with a sister in Christ from the other side of the earth. I was especially touched by a phrase she shared—“radical obedience.” It stirred something deep in me.

Thank you for your encouragement—see you soon this summer. :)

---

This is the third weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the more fruitful conversations I had in the past week, and for the opportunity to speak with them. As You’ve shown me before, a series of doors are now being opened before me.

May I walk in radical obedience—or even something crazier still—that I would obey You not just in words or intentions, but in concrete actions. Because You are the One I trust, and I will continue to trust You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me to step through the doors You open with courage and clarity, without hesitation or turning back. Keep my heart tender to Your voice and my spirit attentive to Your leading. Let Your wisdom guide my every step, and may Your grace sustain me in each moment.

I especially thank You for the chance to witness and speak with those who serve the homeless on the front lines. Please grant me the wisdom to act as I should—to observe, to listen, to record the issues faithfully, and to analyze the situations with care so that things may be improved in the future. May all of this be motivated by Your love, and only by Your love. May we rely on Your grace alone, and may the hearts of these people be opened by You, that seeds might be planted tomorrow.

Give us expectant hearts, eager to witness the growth of the mustard seed—small now, but soon to become something abundant and full of life.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

I had several fruitful conversations in the past days—some of them were unexpected. Not only with people who work in related fields, but also with those who carry unique ideas and offer opportunities to collaborate and speak with experienced individuals from the US who have critical and sharp social insight.

---

This is the second weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bringing us together so that we can talk about Your kingdom, exchange ideas, and know each other deeply.

I am excited that there are many promising and blessed projects going on in parallel. I would like to ask You once again to teach me how to manage my time and know what the priority of my life is in every moment. May You teach me to number my days so that I may gain a heart of wisdom.

In the meantime, please teach me how to rest as well. My body is Your temple; I have a duty to take care of it. In the past, I did a terrible job, but I know You do care for me in every aspect. So Lord, please strengthen and equip me so that I can do more for You, and enter Your rest and have a peaceful heart all the time.

Thank You for giving me the power to be obedient, and therefore You have promised that my house will never lack a person who stands before You. Thank You for the great blessing. I must perform my vows to You, O Lord; I will render thank offerings to You.

Thank You for loving me so much.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Yesterday, a sister I met at the retreat asked how I was. I shared this vision with her, and she asked when I would post my next prayer. That’s when I thought—it would be wonderful to post a weekly prayer, so that in the future, people can testify to how great our God is.

---

This is the first weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for inspiring me to post weekly prayers through my sister. May You strengthen relationships in Your church. May we be excited to see Your wonder.

I know the devils are unhappy about this project, but You have given us Your authority to trample on them and overcome all the power of the enemy. I know nothing will harm me, because I know my name is written on Your hand. Therefore, I ask for protection for everyone who will be involved and connected to this project. And I declare that any demonic forces no longer have the power to influence this project.

May I live on Your provision only, trust in You, and have confidence in You. Then I will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. I will not fear when heat comes; my leaves will always be green. I won't have worries in a year of drought and will never fail to bear fruit.

May I glorify You with my entire life, and praise You forever and ever. Thank You for loving me so much.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

This is the first mail that I sent to myself. And this is my prayer:

May God guide me step by step and humble me, give me the wisdom to do everything in love, to really show that love is a decision — not about feeling. And to tell myself once again why I initiated this: it is because my Heavenly Father first loved me.

May I continue to have the pure heart, so I can seek my Lord and Savior always. And may the Holy Spirit that moved me continue to move me, and let there be a double portion on all the people that will be involved and connected to this ministry.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.

Amen.
