for those who know me long enough..i definitely ain't classified as a prayer warrior..in fact throughout my whole christian life i don't really like praying. sometimes i don't know what to talk to God. i simply hate those prayer chain. the reason is because when i was a younger christian, during those prayer chain i always hear people pray loud loud, long long and very cheem..while i always soft soft, short short and very simple. back in my mind i wonder "is my prayer as powerful as theirs anot? or will God hear me since i am so soft?" so all through my christian walk i hate it when i have to pray in big groups. i hate it even more when during service the pastor says :" grab someone next to you and pray for each other."

whahhaa i will pretend go toilet or just ignore. i don't like prayer meets as well. coz i simply don't know and don't like to pray alot. but deep within i know its important.

but things change..4 months ago..i began to swim twice weekly. in fact during the swimming sessions are my extended prayer time. well for someone who hasn't been swimming for 2 years to swim 20 laps isn't an easy feet! usually the first 10 laps are easy but the next 10 laps is a test of stamina..so my shepherd taught me.."why don't you pray for people while you swim?"

so i have been trying that and it worked..now for 10 laps i pray for 10 different things. usually i start off with thanking God, then i pray for myself, then i pray for my cg (for unity, leaders, people), then i pray for my sheep and etc..

so in fact after these 4 months though i still don't like praying in big groups but i don't resist praying that much anymore. not bad eh?? but pls people don't overload me with prayer requests though i don't mind extending 2-4 laps just for you. :p
