Make a Difference

Our praying can make a difference! Not because of extraordinary prayer skills, but because of whose Name we pray in.

And yet, we want to keep getting better at it. ‘Grow and make a difference’ is a healthy prayer life ethos.

We’ve just released a new 6-part YouTube series called ‘Pray for the Buddhist World’. It adds insight into Buddhist life, but the point of the series is to guide prayer that can make a difference in the Buddhist world.

Each video is short, easy to follow, and focused on a key aspect of Buddhist ‘belief’. It’s not an in-depth study of Buddhism, but digs deep enough to show what shapes the lives of millions around the world.

Every episode lands on a gospel truth that speaks into that aspect of Buddhist life, followed by strategic prayer points you can use right away.

This series is for you if:

  • You want to pray more effectively for Buddhist countries or communities
  • You have friends who follow Buddhism and you aren’t sure how to pray for them
  • You want to encourage your prayer group to pray for the Buddhist world

To make it easier to pray, you’ll be able to download a PDF with the prayer points from each episode. That way you can keep praying long after you’ve watched, or share the prayer points with your prayer group.

Ask Seek Knock

The Lord wants us to ask for help and he promises answers. In Mt 7:7-11, Jesus doesn’t simply invite us to ask; he urges us. And his ask, seek, knock statement highlights some important things to keep in mind when asking. Interpretations of Jesus’ statement vary. I...

Prayer of Forgiveness

Jesus' disciples wanted a prayer life beyond what they were used to; a prayer life more like his. So, they asked for his help. Jesus gave them a 'truth package' we refer to as 'The Lord’s Prayer' (see my post, Don’t bring us into temptation). One truth they were to...

Don’t bring us into temptation

The prayer that Jesus gave his disciples in Luke 11 is easy to recite. But unless we go beyond reciting, we’re likely to glide past the truths he wanted his disciples to unpack. We can recite the line, Don’t bring us into temptation, but what do we mean by it? Jesus...

Prayer Life Frames

I find it helpful to view prayer in three prayer life frames. The frames complement one another; each adds to our enjoyment of the other two. I’m challenged by the evangelism scenes in Acts 17. But, instead of applying them to lifestyle witness, today’s blog will use...

There is mystery to the year ahead. Downloading a customised preview of the coming twelve months of life isn’t an option. So, we’re heading into the unknown. That could be frightening, but it isn’t. Our story is not a mystery to the One who saw all the chapters before...

The words on his T-shirt got my attention: Better Never Stops. So, I caught up with the stranger and asked what he liked most about the words on his back. For him, it was about aiming for better athletic performance, to reach for more in his sporting potential. Then...

Choosing Not to Ask

The Father has made his throne accessible. He has removed every obstacle that made conversation with him impossible, enjoys our company, and wants us to ask for his help (Heb 4:16). And yet, sometimes choosing not to ask is best. There's an enduring fragrance in...
