| #113 Father, we thank you for all that is taking place right now in the nation of Lord Jesus, we pray for the current circumstances of this nation. Father, we pray that Your children would not give up. We pray that they would not hunger and thirst for things in life that will not satisfy. Father, we desperately cry out to You. We long for Your voice to shine and reign on earth. By the blood of Jesus and by the will of God, You reign. In Jesus name we pray, amen. © 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen | Father, we continue to lift up the poor and starving to You. We pray for great faith today. It is easy to harbour discouragement, because of statistics. However, today O Lord we choose not to base our life on statistics and circumstances. Because You O Lord are in control. Father, right now we pray that Your glory would shine on earth. Especially on those that are weak and need You. Father, we pray that You would continue to open the eyes of the rich and those that live in abundance. Lord, with everything that You have gifted us with, we pray that we would not hoard it but we would use it to bless the world. In Jesus name we pray, amen. |

| Let God define love in your life – There is love in letting go As we continue to pursue love defined by God, I know that God is going to birth fullness of life in all of us. Many of us may have tried to define love in our own way. Or we may have been corrupted by the world’s definition of love. Today, I hope that we will be able to understand that there is love in letting go. If we claim that we love God and He is the definer of love, then we must be able to easily let go of everything in life that hinders us from having a strong relationship with God. Just as Abraham sacrificed Isaac, it was easy for Abraham to let go what he loved so dearly. Imagine after waiting so long to have a child, and God asks you to give up that one thing. There is love in letting go. However, Abraham had to learn things the hard way. Abraham and Sarah wanted to have a child so badly that they took things into their own hands. God has given us the Bible and countless stories for us to remember so that we too can learn from their mistakes. What are our Isaacs in life that we love dearly? What are some things in your life that would hinder you from having a strong relationship with God? When I examine my life, it is evident to me that sometimes I desire what God has for my future more than God Himself. By being able to recognise this, now it is time I let go. “God I render my future powerless, and You are all I want.” It is time we let go. How deep do you want to go with God? The choice is yours to make. Job 27:6 I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live. © 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |

| Lord, we thank you for every youth. As we continue to pray for our youth, we pray that our burden would increase. We pray that our hearts would never grow tired for praying for our youth.

Every marriage needs You and depends on You. God almighty, You are our light and refuge. We pray today, that every marriage would surrender their lives to You.

For all to know the name of Jesus. For the world to recognize that You are our provider and sustainer. In the name of Jesus we pray that the starving would be able to survive. More importantly though, we pray that they would come to know You. Father, let this be the year. We pray for unity. We pray that You would shake our hearts, help us to stop fighting and start unifying. May your glory shine always. In Jesus name we pray, amen. |

| Let God define love in your life – Don’t give up As we continue to redefine love in our personal lives, I believe that God’s encouragement to us today is: Don’t give up. 2 Chronicles 15:7 But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded. Personally, I have been challenged and humbled by God through this series. More importantly, I have begun to realize how fake love can be if it is not defined by God. As we continue to mould love in our hearts God’s way, let us not give up. It is easy to give up. God at the centre of our lives means, He directs, He leads, He guides, and He is in control. I pray that after we have completed this series on redefining love in our lives, the world would be different because of you and me. There are a lot of quitters in this world. Quitting is the work of the enemy. Are we quitters? Are we going to give up? Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. © 2009 Lee Shaun Tzen. www.everynation.org.sg archive: www.shauntzen.blogspot.com |
