week 23

Prayer Pointers this week



I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. - John 16:33, NIV



For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

-1 John 2:16-17, NIV





This world brings about many troubles and makes us worried about our lives – Are we going to get GPA 4.0? Are we going to pass our test? What will my friends think of me? These worries are brought by the world. These may be ‘urgent’ but it leads us away from the ‘important’. The ‘important’ is the will of God! Soon, all the world and its desires will pass away. We should be more focused on the eternal reward rather than the immediate reward!



How do we take away all the troubles of the world then? Jesus said that ‘in Me you may have peace’. We have to commit ourselves to walking in the power of the Holy Spirit and submit to him such that we can be ‘in him’. Then, there will be peace for Jesus has overcome the world!



Let us focus more on the will of God than on the world and its desires.
