Ok, so tonight brought a really thought provoking sequence of events. As part of a prayer rally, we drove around to three different places. First a centre of education, then a centre of entertainment for young adults, and finally somewhere that has a significant impact on our society.
At each place we prayed and asked God to transform things by His power. We went to Melbourne University, The Melbourne Cricket Ground, and near Crown Casino with the towering banks and corporate giants gleaming in the night. It was great to be there in the night playing for these places and all they represent, with other christians huddled together in a circle arms around shoulders. To confront the darkness I guess, but it raised the questions "how can we change things?" and so on. A great time and on the way home with a mate, we were able to have a fantastic encouragement about struggles with godliness and lust and pride, and have another prayer session.
After that, I came in and had an incredible chat with a housemate. Gods ways are so mysterious in some regards but its just amazing to see the difference that truly depending on Him for a situation changes things. It's beyond comparison.
It just deeply brought home to me the need to be humble, the power God feely gives through prayer, and the futility of doing things without praying.
Prayerlessness = Carelessness. (among other evils)
