Jesus,

I had wanted to be one with you,
then when you came to be one with me,
I denied you.

Jesus,
you ate and drank with everyone, including sinners;
you befriended everyone, especially the poor and the miserable;
you opened yourself to everyone, including those who hated you.
You said,
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

Jesus,
please keep me as a channel of your peace.
(Make me a channel of your peace)

Please keep me calm
so that you may use me as an instrument of your peace works on earth.

Amen.

Jesus,

You coddle me so much.

A few days ago I said to you,
“I’m tired.
So hot.
I’m going to die.”

What a surprise.
You have turned summer into spring.
You make rain
and turn 40°C into 31°C
during recent days.

You love us so much.

I love you, Jesus.

Amen.

Jesus,

If I’m Minister of Communication and Information…

Newspaper will be newspaper,
playboy will be playboy,
newspaper and playboy will not be one.

Newspaper for children and teenage
will only focus on positive thinking.

Publishing companies will publish books about positive thinking.

Great, Jesus?

Amen.

You still stand there.
Waiting for me. Continue reading Prayer 637 →

Jesus,

Let’s go to bed at 10 p.m
and wake up early in the morning.

I should follow the sun.
I should follow you.

Please help me go to bed and wake up on time.

Amen.

Jesus,

Although I don’t listen and speak English well now,
although I have never lived abroad,
I believe I can understand the heart of Westerner
at least about 70%.

Why?

Because I know the Holy Bible, about 70%.

The Holy Bible is the heart of Westerner
as Buddhism is the heart of Easterner.
So knowing the Holy Bible is to understand the heart of Westerner.

Because I know the Holy Bible,
when I read their writings,
from musical writings to economic writings,
I can understand their feeling and thinking,
at least about 70%.

Most of our people like Buddhism.
They don’t care about the Holy Bible.
So although they’re good at English
and although they live abroad,
It would be hard for them to understand the heart of Westerner.

If we want to befriend the Westerners,
we should understand their heart and culture.

Our people should learn the Holy Bible.

Our people should learn about you.

Amen.

PTH
