what is the point of prayer? it's true that there are times when things happen whether we have prayed it or not. yet, i believe there are times that things don't happen when we don't pray, even though God has His plans for His people. Certainly, He can still go about doing what He needs, regardless of our prayers. However, our prayers do cause Him to move or not move, not that He depends on our prayers but that He allows it to affect Him.
however, it is when we ask questions like these, where it reveals our hearts and our lack of understanding of the Christian-life. perhaps questions like these are really unimportant. we first pray because we love God. we want to converse. it is never about getting or receiving. even in the midst of struggles and pains, our prayer is one of God please help me not necessarily in overcoming our struggles and pains but for Him to be with us in the midst of them.
highlights of the week:
-tough week due to presentation, peer review assignment, midterm and several homeworks. still managed to go to life group and iv sg and was blessed by them.
-met with alex from life group to talk and it was highly encouraging.
-went to asian iv lock-in at Knox Presbyterian Church and had a fun time fellowshipping and getting to know others (played lots of ball).
-played lots of vball at ccrb (central campus gym) with asian iv ppl.
-played a bunch of games including chinese bang (sang guo sha), speed and steal scrabble, and clue.
-studied a short amount but still better than nothing.
-miss cheap thai food but burritos (chipotle and qdoba, maybe others) are at least $1 cheaper here than in ny.
