24/7 Community Prayer: Relief to a Weary Heart

I am a teacher... and so am I. Students learn from what I teach. They may see me as a source of their knowledge. But it doesn't mean that I am already perfect. There are times that I know I have given my best yet I still fall short. I smile and cry too. Yes, I am happy, but I also encounter trials and hardships in life.

I succeeded sometimes but I fail many times.  I may be capable of getting what I want, but there are times that I still feel empty. There was once I appreciate to love and as well feel the pain of being not loved back. Well, I believe I am not the only one who has these kinds of experiences. And yes, these are of being human. These are signs that we are alive.

But whatever problem we may encounter, solution is not very hard to find. As what Bro. Eli and Bro. Daniel are always saying, “The shortest distance between your problem and the solution is just the distance between your knees and the floor when you kneel down and pray.”

It was on 2008 when Bro. Eli and Bro. Daniel launched the 24/7 Community Prayer. It is a non-stop community singing and prayer service for the Members of Church of God International available through the internet and via satellite. Through 24/7 Community Prayer, we can fulfill what is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, “Pray without ceasing”.

But 24/7 Community Prayer just got even better. It was just about more than a week ago when Top of the Hour was launched. Instead of just playing praise songs before the prayer every hour, there is a program aired 24/7 (except during church services) where in our KNPs and TPs from Apalit, Pampanga and from different points around the world are the hosts/DJs. During the program, brethren are being informed about the different upcoming church activities and being reminded about the things that will strengthen to our faith. We can also send our greetings and messages. Listeners can also request any songs of praises that we want to hear to comfort our souls. And most of all, we can join the community prayer every top of the hour led by the assigned KNP and TP.

So whenever we feel down and low, we want to get some relief to our weary heart, or we want to give thanks to His Majesty for all His kindness, just log on to link.mcgi.org or visit any ADD Coordinating Center. Tune in to "Top of the Hour" and join the 24/7 Community Prayer. You will  feel that there is indeed a relief after a prayer--- just what I have felt right now with God’s help. :)
