Awaken my spirit, Lord

With the recent tsunmi tragedy that affected our neighbours, it is by no coincidence that we were spared of this calamity. Others may attribute it to our geographic location, by chance, by luck, but don't they recognize that it's the hand of God protecting this land? So much as happened to our neighbours in these recent years and Singapore has been shielded time and time again from a huge disaster from happening. It is indeed the grace of God that preserved us so that we may rise up to fulfill the Antioch calling that He's placed upon us in this land.

Lord may you awaken me to see that the times are so urgent, so pressing, so precious. Help me not to take for granted what I have enjoyed all my life and to appreciate and cherish all that you've given me. I'm humbled by all these because it is not of our own merit, but simply because you're a God of grace and mercy. A god of comopassion and a God of love. I pray for boldness to speak your truth to those who need to know you, who need to get back to you, who need you in their lives. Open my eyes to look beyond my own world and to see and know your heart for those you died for. Your love for them, that none shall perish and have eternal life. Especially for those close to my heart, to make right with them before the new year and to live a life that radiates your love and all that you are.

Tonight as we pray, may you raise up from among us prayer warriors and intercessors who will pray like never before. Who will press in to pray until there is a breakthrough in the heavenly realms. Who will know what is your heart. Who will count as righteouness and whose prayers will avail much.

Lets usher in the new year by covering it with prayer. For God to be soverign in all that has happened and all that will be in the new year.
