Jesus,
Now is the flooding season in the northern and central regions of our country.
During this season, for many years, we (via social activities groups) have tried to do something.
Tiny things.

The livelihood of farmers, fishers, and the poor
These things have haunted me. Continue reading Prayer 278

Jesus,
You are the good friend.
You promised you would always stand by me.
Truly,
though it’s rainy
or sunny
or pleasant,
you still stay with me
and give me sweet flowers.
Thank you, my friend.
Amen.

lowyinterpreter – Thailand has a long tradition of balancing its relations with major powers and, since the 2014 coup, it has been shifting towards China. However, with the two countries now involved in a complicated collaboration on high speed rail, the Thai public has started to question whether China is truly its best ally. Indeed, once one looks beyond perceptions and emotions and examines the detail of the Thailand-China relations, the best friend status is puzzling.
Jesus,
I do not realize now what you are doing,
but later I will understand. (1)
And now,
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
you turned my wailing into dancing, (2)
though I never know all the steps,
I will learn to join the dance.
La la la…
Amen.

Nước mắt cũng là lời cầu nguyện.
Chúng đến với Giêsu
