Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed <5:16>
He prayed earnestly that it would not rain Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain <5:17-18>

In the darkness of torture, the 4 attitudes to wait for the Lord’s return:
1. Be patient in face of suffering (v.1-11) — because the Lord is full of compassion and mercy! (v.11)
2. Be responsible for your words – speak honestly (v.12) — the Lord is going to judge our every single word &behaviour. act honestly as the Lord is coming soon.
3. Pray earnestly in midst of trials (v.13-18) — pray in time of adversity , praise in time of prosperity. The power of prayers is amazing no matter – individual or in group.
4. Preach gospel unceasingly(v.18-20) — do not indulge in your own sadness. Widen your horizon to see. Save more souls who go astray when we still have a little bit of time.
*My 6-year-old daughter received MRI yesterday. She had to take an injection of narcotic. However, she cried and struggled as it was painful and even six people couldn’t get hold of her. Finally with the hug from her mother, she stopped and went through the pain. We took the chance to tell her about Jesus’slove — the nails that Jesus had on the cross were sharper and longer. Jesus suffered – He loves us. The power of love is huge. The strength of six people is not as powerful as a hug of love. When our Father holds us tightly, lots of sufferings and pains will be gone.
