There are so many things to pray for. That 1 hour a day is not enough. To think that I forgot this from the 100k blessing days. I have not prayed like I did today for the longest time since last August during 100k. I realized that I have so many things to pray for my biological family, my spiritual family, my Heelsong family, my marketplace, for Singapore and a country that God just placed a burden upon my heart for today, the United States.
For a change in their hearts towards God, that it is time to turn back to God. For a change in their cultural values and beliefs and the depravity of their society. Not to just cry out to Him only in times of trouble, like Israel did, but to live out that phrase on their dollar bills "In God we trust", even in times of peace. That God will keep them safe in this economic crisis. But also that God will use this economic crisis, if He wills it to, to change the hearts of His people in America, towards Him, that they will see that He is the ONE and Only God.
On another note, I sensed God's prompting to pray for certain things very clearly today. And I realized that as I was praying, God was showing me areas of my heart that He wants to change. One thing I've learnt is that the ultimate purpose of prayer is not to change the person/nation/thing that you are praying for, but for God to change your own heart.
