We need the prayers of others

My boss has fought a long and hard battle to attain her present position in a Band One EMI school. Every time she shares her experiences, she has to fight back her tears. At the end of the Benediction Bible Service yesterday, she spoke to the senior students in plaint Cantonese of her pains after the HKCEE. Her mother decided not to support her further studies. She had to fend for herself. It was a candid sharing but I don't know how much our S.5 & S.7 students resonated with her feelings. She needs our prayers.

In wrapping up his epistle, the author of Hebrews also asks his readers to pray for him and his co-workers.
Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things (Hebrews 13:18).
We wish to do good because it is a pleasing sacrifice to God.
Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God (Hebrews 13:16).
Yet, there are many internal weaknesses and external obstacles hindering us. We need the prayers of others. We need support from our God. We need God to work in us.
Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant,
equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen (Hebrews 13:20-21).
We wish to do good, but our 'good' may not be God's will. Seek God's will. Make it our good. Pray that we may be equipped with His support. Open ourselves up to His will and let go. Let God work in us.

My Lord, show me Your will. Grant me the support I need. Work in me so that I may be Your handy instrument of peace. Grace be with us. Amen.
