i just gathered my whole family and prayed together as a family

gave thanks to God for His providence & blessing over this family and pray that He will continue to show His ways in this family



my dad is a non christian

my mum is a christian.. but she doesnt really attend church regularly... back-slided in some sense...



it was quite hard for me lah... i was nervous...

i kept praying for courage and God granted me just what i need...



just before my youngest brother went to bed.. i grab hold of him and my younger brother and went to my parents room and asked my dad and my mum if i can pray together with them and even bless the family through the prayer...

yep.. prayed in chinese as my parents are not that proficient in english..

struggled with my chinese vocab abit as i have not prayed in chinese for a very long time..

at the end of it... when we said Amen.. it was a rather awkward scenario but we just smiled at each other and i gave a light slap on lele's butt & said "off to bed"



it's really a pleasant joy inside me..





felt that i just want to share the above to all of you

especially those with non christian family members...

it doesnt mean that only when your family members are christians then can u pray aloud together..

most person would really love to be blessed and prayed over...

some may reject but many will obliged when they sense that you are really sincere to pray for them...

and i believe when we pray aloud with and for our family members... God's blessing and God's love will flow to their hearts...

and it leaves a "spiritual mark" there...

even if they may not respond instantaneously



when u pray... u are showing an outward affection of concern and love for them...

u are letting them know that "hey, even though u may not believe in God, i still sincerely want to pray for you"

and it's a form of spreading God's love to them..

especially in times when they need support... be there for them and pray for them..



and when God moves and answers their prayers...

they will just know that He is THE God...



don't be discouraged if u get rejected..

pray and try again...

remember what some of us who went to camp learnt?

"never give up!"
