One of my greatest and deepest passions is off-road cycling, but for the past three weeks, I've found constant obstacles to me fulfilling a Saturday morning dose of it. Given how the seasonal rains can upset the terrain in Singapore, I try to maximize my off-road time during the first half of a calendar year. As such, it's been rather disheartening to know that I am missing my off-road time because I need to catch enough winks to not fall sick or underperform during ministry time on Sunday.
My prayer is simple: Help me, oh Lord, to get over this disappointment, because I know You know my heart and hear my prayers. Now what about the souls unsaved? Where is my zeal for them such that I can have a similar experience, such that when they are indeed saved, I shall rejoice with the angels in heaven? I am such a hypocrite, so myopic and so selfish. Greater is this prayer's need to be fulfilled: Help me, oh Lord, to grow in passion for those who do not call you Lord and Savior yet, since their lives are missing the greatest fulfillment of them all.
