Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

Prayer is the lifeline of a Christian's walk with God.

Prayer connects us to God.

Prayer creates space in the heart of the prayer to hear God's voice.

The Bible says,
"Pray without ceasing."
1 Thessalonians 5:17.

Samuel said that if he stopped interceding in prayer,
it would be a sin against the Lord. 😰
...Samuel knew his duty well.

He believed that neglecting the duty given to him by God was a sin against God.
...The same can be said for us pastors.
...Things have become so convenient; with just a smartphone, things like travel documents, shopping, and information from social media have become far more time-efficient compared to 30 years ago.

But...😢
Before I knew it 🧐
My days have become so busy, and my time for prayer 🛐 has...seen shortened...🤔
It feels like that.
...If I don't clearly define my priorities...each day just flies by 😵.
...Prayer is the lifeline of faith, so let's remember those who need prayer and
make time for it❗️

Shalom 😃
