John 6:27

Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.

Dear Mister God, thank you for my job in London. Thank you for giving me just enough every month. I am better than I deserve. Mister God, tomorrow my company and I are going to Edinburgh for 5 weeks to run venues at the Fringe Festival. Please bless our journey and our stay in Edinburgh and may we all have a smooth-sailing and enriching experience. Please send angels to guide and protect me at all times and grant me a clear mind as I take on this new and exciting challenge. Help me manage my time well and give me good communication skills as I meet new people from all walks of life. Thank you for giving me the courage to speak of you at work and creating awareness of Your presence to my colleagues. As they are now aware of Your kindness and grace, may they get to know You better during this period too. Please also lead me to a church in Edinburgh where I can rest and worship You. Mister God, I want to follow You and I want to have faith. Please hear my prayer, in Jesus' name. Amen. xx

1 Corinthians 6:18-20

Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Dear Mister God, please forgive me for my terrible sins. You see, I enjoy telling dirty jokes, having dirty thoughts and discussing sex, pornography and homosexuality openly. I have several gay friends and I'd say stuff like "I'm a gay man trapped in a woman's body." I invented this game called "The Either Or Game" in which I'll ask my friends to choose between 2 people they can imagine having sex with. I also claim to be able to tell if a man is straight or gay just by speaking with him on the phone. The moment a gay man walks out of range, I'll yell out "My gaydar is going off the hook!". I've yet to fail stirring up excitement and laughter amongst my friends and even colleagues with my suggestive jokes and mannerism and I love the attention and response I get. I suppose my lack of respect for sex, made me disregard my own body in the past as I used to think "Oh it's just sex and everyone does it anyway." Well, I don't have sex anymore but I'm not sure if it's because I have learnt to value my body and exercise self-control or because I'm not in a relationship with anyone at the moment. Hmm... What about those sex jokes I make, even to this day? And when my gay friends ask me out to a gay club, do I say "no" or encourage them by accompanying them? I suppose I don't fully understand the seriousness of my willfull and perversed attitude yet but I pray that You will clear my mind from all these dirty thoughts and fill me with the holy spirit instead. I pray for pure and meaningful thoughts. I pray that the next time I have sex, it will be after I get married (and if it is not Your will that I find a husband, may I never fall into the old habit of disregarding my body again). I pray for wisdom to do / say the right thing the next time my gay friends ask me out to a gay club. Mister God, please use my body as an instrument to do Your work instead of wasting it on mindless thoughts and deeds. Last but not least, I pray that I'll always be funny without having to be suggestive or perverted. I sincerely pray, in Jesus' name. Amen. xx

Psalm 43:3

Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.

Dear Mister God, I pray for hunger for the Truth; I pray that I will see signs and know with confidence that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. I pray for faith that will not shake the foundations of Your word in my life. I pray that I will know with faith that I am doing Your will not just making up my own good ideas. Last but not least, I pray for a human mentor to build me up spiritually into Your glorious kingdom through Your son, Jesus Christ; I pray that this human mentor will burst into my life in the shining glory of Jesus Christ. I pray in Jesus name. Amen. xx

Will I ever stop saying, "I need to see to believe" and start saying, "I need to believe to see"?
