“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” (Luke 22:31–32)
From time to time, I experienced a surge of spiritual energy to overcome feeling downcast. I used to think someone must have prayed for me.
I feel that burden removed -- burden that I have felt in recent months, which climaxed/resolved after the Vancouver trip.
It's Jesus. He prays for me, and/or he prompts someone to pray for me. Jesus: I pray that I can use my experience to empathize and edify other people.

Patience
If the previous lesson which God intended for me to learn was "humility," the lesson He may want me to learn now is "patience." How do I know? I don't know how but the idea just came to mind this morning. I even saw a John Piper quote on a photo on FB later today about patience, as if to affirm it. Is God speaking?
It's been difficult for the most part in the past two months.

Seek and Listen
This morning I was thinking to seek for God's voice, rather than telling him over and again what I needed, when I come forth to Him through prayer. Throughout the morning, I read some meaningful and encouraging quotes on FB. Around lunch time a fragment of this song floated in my mind (i.e. some tune and I only remember the lyric 釘痕手), and I searched online and found the Youtube link and music.
