It has been almost two months since I last Blog. I started my NIE in Aug 11, mixed feeling such as anxiety, excitement and more (I think those who are in NIE first time for their course, they also feel the same ba). I currently pursue my studies in English, Mathematics and Social Studies as my main core subjects, also we have to learn Education Psychology with comprises of additional module, ICT module and also 2 extra Grammar modules. Though there are so many modules and lesson, I'm glad that my lesson is only from Mon till Thurs, so my Friday is free for me to do my reading and catching up of lesson and do some notes and preparation for the next lesson. Seems to me that I'm a happening person, doing alot of things in a short given time to use. But I'm happy that my life is full of activities and exposure which I find it beneficial to my future and also feeding my soul with sense of achievement and emotional needs.
Also I'm currently staying in the NTU Hall 10, it seems a happening place. Kinda know a few frens in my block , also other block which happen to be my course mates too. Like to highlight some of the new found close bond with my course mates especially Linda, Audrey, Sandra. They are my buddies for studies as we have most of our lessons together. Not forgetting Sandy who is my previous colleague in OEPS and Joyce her best buddies.
Now, we are all preparing to submit our assignment such as eChart, Edn Psy assignment which DED100, we have to submit 2 comments on discussion forum, a written report, and online quiz, DED103, we have to write a 1000 words essay on deconstruction, ICT we also have to plan out a lesson plan to touch on Cyberwellness. These are currently the stress point as we only left with 2 more week. Not forgetting all the reading materials and books that we need to read to finish our assignments............
Now I'm looking forward to my break which is the last wk of Sept, even den we are not spared as we also need to finish another set of assignment and also test will be coming up soon to evaluate how much we have learnt so much.
Now apart from schooling, I also have a good fair share of free time and times to do my personal things. Some of the upcoming events that I will be organize or helping out in the committee.

Missing OEPS and moving on to NIE!!!
SO long since I last updated my blog... This yr have been a wonderful yr for me as I'm gg to embark onto a new journey of studying for my future career.
The first half of the year I have been teaching in OEPS (Opera Estate Primary School) as my contract begins. [Refer to the earliest post on what I am teaching]. It was a enjoyable journey with a lots of friendship bond with the Teachers who are teaching there as well as the students. I can say it is a sad feeling to leave them but I have no choice but to pursue my dreams in studying and equipping myself to be a better teacher.
My NIE is starting ard the end of July and I'm so looking forward to it. I hope I can enter into the course I want and able to fulfill my dreams in the next 5 years.

Are you one of them?
THIS IS A POWERFUL MESSAGE. PLEASE READ ALL OF IT. I AM PASSING IT ON BECAUSE I AM CERTAINLY NOT ASHAMED TO DO SO.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.............
A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith . She says that Dr. Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons. One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day. On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture. Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face. Sally was pleased with the overall effect she had achieved. The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart.
Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr. Smith , because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall. Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. A hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.
Dr. Smith said only these words....' In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me .' Matthew 25:40. No other words were necessary; the tears filled eyes of the students focused only on the picture of Christ. This is an easy test; you score 100 or zero . It's your choice. If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.
Jesus said, ' If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you, before My Father.' Not ashamed... pass this on. Ashamed .. . delete it.
Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. Or is it scary? Isn't it funny how someone can say ' I believe in God ' but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also 'believes' in God ). Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and! they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord , people think twice about sharing . Isn't it funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace. Isn't it funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week. Are you laughing? Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them. Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me. Will YOU pass this on? ... I just did.

Updated!!! My personal cum work Life in 2009.
It have been long since I last Blogged!!! It is almost 4mths... Currently I am busy with School as I taught in Opera Estate Primary School as a Contract teacher and getting used to the teaching world. I spend one term there so far and learn alot of valuable lesson mixing with teachers and students.
As for Students, I am currently teaching mostly in P6 level in terms of Foundation Maths and Science, Health Education, Library, Civic and Moral Education and Physical Education. Next is, I taught P2-4 Arts lesson, P4 Social Studies, P3 Health Education. Notice it is a wide spread of lesson. I think it is to prepare us for wide based learning. But I was wondering whether the students will benefit from it. My point of view is more into Specialised Teaching. Maybe to teach one or two level at most and not over 4 different levels and also Specialised in Subject will also be a good alternative. But I still Like TEACHING!!! n some of the kids are worth my effort. Hee!!! But I will do my best to cater as much as I can to their needs and learn to appreciate their differences and be a good role model.
As for teachers, I have good experience with most of the teaching staff in Opera Estate. In particularly is some of the friendship bond I have with some teachers, Like Ms Nursidah, Ms Toh Hui Ing, Ms Sharon Tan. These 3 teachers are like my buddy buddy in school whenever I need help or assistant. Next is the Secondary Level of friends like Mdm Illmah who like to joke ard, Mr Abdullah the drama coordinator, Mr Ray the song bird,Ms Annie Tan with Ms Tong and Mrs Irene Lim, the three sisters in OEPS whom I always chat and joke with them. These 9 teachers are very valuable in my Stay in OEPS. Not forgetting the HODs that provides assistant and information. Under the English department, I have Mdm Azlina, where I will be assisting them in some areas. Under my subject teaching, I will be working closely with Mrs Sharin where P6D is under my care and hers to, Mrs Nair my reporting Officer and also things related to Science and her class. Not forgetting Mdm Norah as I will be down for RElief. Haha!!! I also manage to make some more friends though we seldom talk much like Ms Dayanah, Mr Osman, in regards to Social Studies and Physical Education.
Apart from School work (job), I am also active in my Youth Group doing community work. Recently I join the service learning club for an activity held in HQ PA (headquarter of People Association) to allow students to explore the community around them. I was a facilitator and enjoy myself with them though the activity played. Besides that, in the Youth Group, I was even tasked to do some events and get to know more people and also planned activities like BGM, Dinner and Dance, and more to come. I also like engaging moment when I attend their forum talk which can stimulates my thinking skills... I am just an analytical person... U know like those debate personal but not in those rebuttal mode but into thinking process.
Last but no lest, is that I have time with my close friends like Sam n Jaja. Our friendship is forged during our secondary days and it is still on-going now. We have been meeting up for meals and chit chat about our past and present. Also my new formed friendship* with Xiao Hao too. Interesting bonds with HKNCC YEC like Izyrn, Kai Ling, Mun Leng.
That is more or lest what have happening since Dec till now. Busying in OEPS and HKNCC YEC.

Verses of the day!!!

For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
Jeremiah 29:11 (Amplified Bible)
[No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame. And God also selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing, that He might depose and bring to nothing the things that are, So that no mortal man should [have pretense for glorying and] boast in the presence of God.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (Amplified Bible)

Sharing of verses!!!
The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord brings instruction in Wisdom, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 15:33 (Amplified Bible) Labels: Personal Sharing, Sermon
This verse speaks of the Godly Fear of the Lord that allows victory and blessing of God to be upon ur life, which surpasses any thing on Earth which u can accquires in ur life...
Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? ... I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35,38-39 (Amplified Bible)
Wat can separates u from the Lord is often things that have taken over ur life that make God not first in ur life but secondary or third or even further den ur very own heart... But u must understand one thing is that the Lord yearns to be near u, r u near to God den? So make a decision of choice and decide where u wan to be with the Lord!!!
I will give thanks to You, O Lord; for though You were angry with me, Your anger has turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God, my salvation! I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and song; yes, He has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:1-2 (Amplified Bible)
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12 (Amplified Bible)
Go and learn what this means: I desire mercy [that is, readiness to help those in trouble] and not sacrifice and sacrificial victims. For I came not to call and invite [to repentance] the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God), but sinners (the erring ones and all those not free from sin). Matthew 9:13 (Amplified Bible)
Fear not [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. Isaiah 41:10 (Amplified Bible)
And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning], Therefore, behold! I will again do marvelous things with this people, marvelous and astonishing things; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their discerning men will vanish or be hidden. Isaiah 29:13-14 (Amplified Bible)
This five verses shares on God's mercy towards mankind and how we can depend on Him and gain strength to face the evil of this world and be an overcomer in our realm of influence!!! Whenever we feel lousy and bad abt ourselves, how we can seek God and receives acceptance and grace and power to continue on and keep keeping on with our lives. Having the Word of God in ur life thru meditation on God's word can propel u into the next level of ur faith in God. As God promise that when u draw near to Him, He will definitely draw near to u, and in all circumstances it is the Lord who Fight for U!!!
And the end of ur situation is always God has the victory and control over ur life!!!
I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live. Deuteronomy 30:19 (Amplified Bible)

Galatians 5:6 (Amplified Bible)
If any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:17 (Amplified Bible)
Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you.
Matthew 7:7 (Amplified Bible)
Above three verses are wat it speak to me abt my life this wk. God gave us a commandment to love ppl and exercise our faith, it is when we love tt our faith is strengthen and activated and become alive. We are to love His word and be a doer of His word... When we graft ourselves to Christ which is the True vine in our lives, we are part of His life and body, what is of the past have been passed away, a new beginning have just started... It is a process of santification where we tap not on our natural strength but on the strength of God and the Spirit of God which live in us... In times of trouble to come, we can ask from God and seekl Him and that our prayer will be answer!!!

What is Fear?
Was listening to Joyce Meyer Podcasts and came across this qns!!! What is Fear? To different ppl, fear means different things!!! To some is lost of love, timid of height, afraid of these, afraid of that... So fear have different meaning to different ppl. Often fear cloud the minds of ppl and hinder them from moving on and progressing onwards in life... Thus, Joyce gave this definition of fear as "False Evidence Appearing Real". It is so cool and the acronym used really means what fear actually done to ppl. It make it look real that we dun dare to do it and we take tt as real as truth. Labels: Personal Sharing
So we shld now allow fear to set into our hearts, we shld all be bold and lean on God's strength whenever we can and move on in life and live a life of purpose!!! In doing so, we will not need to fear but can press on in life!!!

Words of Wisdom
Ytd I went to Fabulous studios to try the trial Fish Therapy, it was like so cool and fun... It was kinda scary at first but after a while sitting in the pool where fishes start to bite your old skins away was so awkward but yet interesting... It was my first time but I guess I may go back to try again or if not maybe I will go Japan to try the actual one there... Labels: Personal Sharing, Updates
Ytd I also went for Discipleship meeting... It was a experiential encounter as Kenneth share on Leadership... It is an important topic as I have learnt in SOT that "Everything rises and falls with leadership!!!" So a leader plays an important role in a team or ppl's lives. Even when you din make a decision on a matter, it is also equivalent to making a bad decisions. No decision is also a decision!!! Good leadership leads to a rise & bad leadership leads to a fall. There is seldom an absence of leadership but poor leadership as you are yourselves a leader in ur own sphere of frens. So start to take responsibilities.
Great Leader does the follow things:
1. Gives quality to the ppl.
Great leaders always strive to give their best not substandard things.
2. Carry & cast visions that are beneficial to the team. (Godly)
A vision inspires ppl, and more importantly inspire new leaders.
3. Build on God's Word.
We may have good experience to share with ppl, but the most impt is to have the fresh rhema & revelation from God to lead our life.
4. Sows into the next generation.
Today's children are tomorrow's world & future.
How can we influence the next generation? Dun forget they will grow up to leads our world!!! If the wrong value are instill in them and right values are ignored in educating them, what will the world become in the future?
So prevention is always better than cure. Y not let us do sth to impact this generation so that the next generation will be able to take up our role models and continue the legacy that we have sow into their lives.

Word of Wisdom!!!
Ytd I went for CG at JianDa's house, during praise and worship session, I sense God's prompting on the word I shared last wk during testimony time. So sensing the prompting, I flick to that verse and wait upon the Lord for understanding!
The verse I shared is taken from Psalm 50:14-15
Offer to God the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and pay your vows to the Most High,
And call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you,
and you shall honor and glorify Me.
In this verse, it shared abt how we can offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving.
1. We need to first offer thanks for wat God had done in our lives, in doing so we are paying our vows to Him.
2. In return, it says we can call on Him in day of trouble, He will surely deliver us.
3. When He had deliver us, we will honor and glorify Him.
Den I start to ask God how do we offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving. He brought me into remembrance that when the early Israelites offer sacrifices in the wilderness, the steps of offering up the sacrifices:
1. Find an animal without blemishes. (decision).
2. Kill the animal and drain out the blood. (cleansing).
3. Separate the body parts and fats. (sanctification).
So God pointed to me to the next chapter of Psalms in Ps 51:10-17
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
13 Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, And sinners shall be converted to You.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise.
16 For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart — These, O God, You will not despise.
Over here in verse 10, we see that we shld make a decision to have a clean heart to follow after God. which is similar to decision making to follow God and a decision to be cleansed by God's Blood. When we ask God to create a new heart, we are also humbly come b4 God for forgiveness and like a child seeking his father's love. It is likens to offer a sacrifices without blemishes and being humble b4 God. In verse 17, it also mention abt being broken and contrite towards God.
When you are humble, broken and contrite, you will be able to be shaped by God easily and He will be able to mould you and lead you into your destiny.
Understand another key is that God owns everything but why do He still need your sacrifices to Him?
It is very simple as God want you to be grateful of the things He blessed you. When you know how to be appreciative of the things you will also learn to care for His ppl. In doing so, you become a channel of blessings and God can continuously poured His blessing over your lives and He knows that you will always poured it out to others and be a blessor like He is.

Psalm 1:1-3 (Amplified Bible)
I like the verse it says that our delight and desire should be in the law of the Lord; and on His Law we shld habitually meditates day and night. Everytime when I was in crisis or even whenever I'm free I like to meditates on God's word as it always give me refreshing revelation on the things that is to come and I will always be encourage to do more for the Lord as His word of encouragment thru reading the word always lead us into prosperity in the soul!!!
As Arise and Build is ard the corner, I really encourage the members to get into the word to get the rhema that God has prepare for you!!! So let us really move out of our comfort zone and press on the the prize that is ahead of us.
It is really that when we relies on the Word of God in our life that we can be dependent on Him in times of troubles. When you have God on your side, you will not worries of the thing that is to come as you can simply relax and trust God to do the rest when you are faithful in His commandments and words.
Be wise and build ur foundation on the solid rock instead of sand... Be firm in the promises of God over your life.

I've heard people say, "You never know what God is going to do." But we do know! His Word tells us that He does things by faith. Faith is the way God operates. Hebrews 11:6 says, Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. We want to please God and receive His promises, so we want to learn how to use our faith. Labels: Personal Sharing
Faith is simple. It's the language that God speaks. Colossians 1:13 says that salvation hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. That means a Christian lives in a new kingdom where the language of faith is spoken.
If you went to Spain and everyone was speaking Spanish, you'd think, To function here, I'm going to have to learn to speak Spanish. That's exactly what it's like in the kingdom of God. To receive God's promises, we need to learn to speak the language of faith. In Spain you'd think, How do I say that in Spanish? and in God's kingdom you'd think, How do I say that in faith?
Just like any new language, the language of faith must be learned. In the past, you may have said what you saw and felt. But the language of faith says what the Bible says. For example, if you're sick, the language of faith says what I Peter 2:24 says-"Thank You, Lord, that by Your stripes I am healed." Pain may say you're not healed. But the power of God is activated when you speak His Word so that God can do the work He wants to do in your life.

Feeling Refreshed!!!
Dear All, Labels: Personal Sharing, Updates
It have been a long time since I blog. The reason why I am back here was when one of my students ask me whether I have blog, den I rmb I haven been blogging since after SOT and I started work in CKSS as relief teacher... It was so fun teaching there and I kinda like the environment there, but too bad I applied for Dip in Edn, and I can only teach in Pri Sch next time. Hope I can upgrade my status fast enough to be able to teach in Sec Sch soon.
I feel so refresh recently from the book I am reading now called "Become a Better You" By Joel Osteen... It was a great book that teaches you on how to become a better person. I have alot of insight thru reading this book and it give me the encouragment to draw myself into a bigger picture and step out in faith to do the impossible. It have been so long since I last doing things in Church and Home to be a blessing and encourager. After reading this book, I have a new sense of purpose and is really to equip myself and start to bless the community that I am reaching out too...
I was thinking of having a morning prayer in my current school and really hope revival can breakforth from there... Looking forward and into the Author of my faith as He had overcome the world, now is the time for us to Arise and Build. Pressing on to the dreams to be able to lead a group of ppl who are willing to serve and bless the community as it is hard to find servant and sons of God in these current situation...

What is the secret to success? How does God work?
Exo17:8-16 Labels: Sermon
Now Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim. And Moses said to Joshua, “Choose us some men and go out, fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.” So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and fought with Amalek. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And so it was, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses’ hands became heavy; so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. So Joshua defeated Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword. Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.” And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner; for he said, “Because the LORD has sworn: the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
Rod of God / Man of God who saved the people?
God works thru man not methods, ppl not systems. Wisely methods to use but God wants us to be used for the Kingdom of God. It was the man who is holding the rod.
Where is Jesus Address? He should be reside in your heart.
Faith explode from within your heart, miracles will start to happen.
Anointing flow through honor and relationship with the man of God.
Reason why God use man? Because he has a servant heart. Jesus is the servant of all as He humble Himself. When you serve, you will experience blessings of hope, joy, love. Being secure of self to be a servant.
4 Things we need to be secure in:
1.Self - Image : How you see yourself
You can have a safe heart but not have the mind of God. A revelation of who God is and it imprint the nature of God within us. Gen 1:28
Having Jesus Blood & DNA as we are now a new creation in Christ. When you pray, the Holy Spirit gives you vision.
2.Self - Worth : How you value yourself
Your worth is more than silver and gold. You are more valuable in God's eyes. You are worth His Son's death on the cross for our sins.
Rom3:21-22
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
3.Self - Esteem : How you feel about yourself
Faith is a feeling you have. You got to have feeling and encounter with God. Feeling and encountering Godis what your Christian life is depended on.
Pro 23:7
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.
1 John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Faith works by love, accepted by God.
4.Self - Respect : How I honor my dignity
Apart from God, we are nth. we are seated in the heavenly, children of the King of kings, Lord of lords. I am a royalty. You are King's Kid -> Prince & Princess of the Most High God. Servanthood is not being servile but be cool and classy.

Prayer is important!!!
So many days have past since I last blog... It have been a busy mth... After preaching test, we have a wonderful encounter and session with Pst Mike Connell for deliverance service, it was great and we learn alot of thing. We learn how to expel demons and experience inner healing with strong presence of God. We also have some practice in class and service. I have some experience ministering delieverance too. There is this one guy in svc who suddenly manifested when his CGL prayed for him and he started to become violent. I quickly went over to help. As the security try to pin him down in vain and was kena pushed away, I juz placed my hand on his face and instantly he calm down. Den I prayed for him and minister to him... It is so exciting. Labels: Updates
After the deliverance svc, we had fivefold ministry lesson with Pst Ming, it was so fun. He taught us so many thing. After that this wk we had Rev Joshua Hong who taught us on the school of prayer. He taught us all the techniques we can engage into prayer.
