The easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week. What you need to do is very simple. Choose one dayThe easiest way is to take one hour slot for the whole week then prayerfully remembering the ministry of ACiC(ACiC has two Networks: ACiC, Anglican Coalition in Canada and AI, Asian Initiative). You may use the whole hour in prayer or you can still do you work in your office but use as much time as you can to pray and the other time work prayerfully that hour to pray for our ministry. I deeply believe that this is a way to draw as many participation as we can in prayers. I encourage you to participate. We need you to join us! Trust in the power of prayers!


Today's Reading: Psalm 88

Please read Psalm 88 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method: Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf. (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

Please click the links below to Psalm 88:


O Lord, the God who saves me, day and night I cry out before you.
May my prayer come before you; turn your ear to my cry.

You have taken my companions and loved ones from me;
the darkness is my closest friend.
Psalm 88: 1, 18


What I received from Jesus today is: Darkness is my closest friend!

This psalm is being considered as the saddest of all psalms. The suffering of the psalmist is unbearable and yet God allowed that to happen. How could God allow a faithful child of Him to tell others that darkness is his closest friend?!

What would you do if you are in this kind of suffering? Do you think you would still have faith to pray to God like what the psalmist did? How can you get through the time of darkness?

"Neither death nor life ...neither the present not the future ... will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8: 38-39


Dear Lord Jesus,
Help us to trust in you and that we can pray to you in all times.
In
Jesus name we pray. Amen.
