The ends of Prayer...!

We turn to Acts 21:1-6,

["... 1And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
2And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
3Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
4And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again..."]

I must amen to our sponsor, sponsor a new thing, prayer time. I'm not to good at praying, and I could use sometime to formally get close to God and outline my supplications. For those who know how to pray, please pray that our youngsters get more involved in the ministy here...

I feel those that are young here are not...Well I won't say it! Just pray that more youngsters get involved to prayer to God. Now those in Acts, the wives, men, and children, went out of the city, and they knelt to pray...

I feel that we are just praying for our little group or relative or favorite blogger. And its fine. It's free game. But Jesus said that if we only greet our bretheren and salute only those that love us, we are no different than any one coming off the street...

If we are praying for the protection of the social circle and those we steem very much, well it is just a prayer, and not a supplication of ferverent servant. And I haven't prayed much for those who hate me!...

And I wrote this blog, for those who quietly hate me in their heart with quiet disdain. I'm not offended, but I don't think it is beneficial to do that. And today I will pray for those who never greet me or I am not their cup of tea..

But enough of reviling for one day. I really hope God blesses all of you. And if I never got to catch you wavelegth, I am sorry I wasn't more clever in catching you. I really lament I did not earn your respect...

Perhaps I lost some of you in what at sometimes said. And it's no mystery sometime I lay away at night praying for God to give meaning to my messages. I thank all of you who have walked with me and you know who you are...

But what is the end of Prayer? And it is not to make those who are rich richer but to give those that are poor a chance, maybe the first one! And I pray for all of you and specially those who do not understand what I say...

This may be subjective but we'll let the Lord be judge of my words and to see if they are true. And it is a good thing for brothers and sister to gather to pray and do earnestly pray for each other and try to forbear each other...

We that is it please pray for me that God continue to open more road to my trek in this life! Thanks all of you my freinds here for you communion and support and all you kind amens and comments and gem of wisdom you share with me and others near and far off...

Blessings. Chow!
