Prayers for SEiN

This is a prayer space for SEiN (Save Everyone in Need), a Christian education & business and social initiative for Berlin’s homeless

Anchored in Love, Led by the Spirit, for the Glory of God

This is the first mail that I sent to myself. And this is my prayer:

May God guide me step by step and humble me, give me the wisdom to do everything in love, to really show that love is a decision — not about feeling. And to tell myself once again why I initiated this: it is because my Heavenly Father first loved me.

May I continue to have the pure heart, so I can seek my Lord and Savior always. And may the Holy Spirit that moved me continue to move me, and let there be a double portion on all the people that will be involved and connected to this ministry.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.

Weekly prayers

This is the space for weekly prayers.

01 Planted, Protected, and Proclaiming His Glory

Yesterday, a sister I met at the retreat asked how I was. I shared this vision with her, and she asked when I would post my next prayer. That’s when I thought—it would be wonderful to post a weekly prayer, so that in the future, people can testify to how great our God is.

This is the first weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for inspiring me to post weekly prayers through my sister. May You strengthen relationships in Your church. May we be excited to see Your wonder.

I know the devils are unhappy about this project, but You have given us Your authority to trample on them and overcome all the power of the enemy. I know nothing will harm me, because I know my name is written on Your hand. Therefore, I ask for protection for everyone who will be involved and connected to this project. And I declare that any demonic forces no longer have the power to influence this project.

May I live on Your provision only, trust in You, and have confidence in You. Then I will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. I will not fear when heat comes; my leaves will always be green. I won't have worries in a year of drought and will never fail to bear fruit.

May I glorify You with my entire life, and praise You forever and ever. Thank You for loving me so much.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

02 Learning to Number My Days Between Calling and Rest

I had several fruitful conversations in the past days—some of them were unexpected. Not only with people who work in related fields, but also with those who carry unique ideas and offer opportunities to collaborate and speak with experienced individuals from the US who have critical and sharp social insight.

This is the second weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bringing us together so that we can talk about Your kingdom, exchange ideas, and know each other deeply.

I am excited that there are many promising and blessed projects going on in parallel. I would like to ask You once again to teach me how to manage my time and know what the priority of my life is in every moment. May You teach me to number my days so that I may gain a heart of wisdom.

In the meantime, please teach me how to rest as well. My body is Your temple; I have a duty to take care of it. In the past, I did a terrible job, but I know You do care for me in every aspect. So Lord, please strengthen and equip me so that I can do more for You, and enter Your rest and have a peaceful heart all the time.

Thank You for giving me the power to be obedient, and therefore You have promised that my house will never lack a person who stands before You. Thank You for the great blessing. I must perform my vows to You, O Lord; I will render thank offerings to You.

Thank You for loving me so much.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

03 Walking Through Open Doors with Radical Obedience

I’m grateful for the conversation earlier today with a sister in Christ from the other side of the earth. I was especially touched by a phrase she shared—“radical obedience.” It stirred something deep in me.

Thank you for your encouragement—see you soon this summer. :)

This is the third weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the more fruitful conversations I had in the past week, and for the opportunity to speak with them. As You’ve shown me before, a series of doors are now being opened before me.

May I walk in radical obedience—or even something crazier still—that I would obey You not just in words or intentions, but in concrete actions. Because You are the One I trust, and I will continue to trust You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength. Help me to step through the doors You open with courage and clarity, without hesitation or turning back. Keep my heart tender to Your voice and my spirit attentive to Your leading. Let Your wisdom guide my every step, and may Your grace sustain me in each moment.

I especially thank You for the chance to witness and speak with those who serve the homeless on the front lines. Please grant me the wisdom to act as I should—to observe, to listen, to record the issues faithfully, and to analyze the situations with care so that things may be improved in the future. May all of this be motivated by Your love, and only by Your love. May we rely on Your grace alone, and may the hearts of these people be opened by You, that seeds might be planted tomorrow.

Give us expectant hearts, eager to witness the growth of the mustard seed—small now, but soon to become something abundant and full of life.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

04 You Went Before Me and Prepared Every Step

Last week, I had the opportunity to accompany social workers to the front lines, where we reached out and spoke with homeless individuals I wouldn't normally encounter in daily life. This experience gave me a new perspective and inspired fresh ideas on how to support them.

This is the fourth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your faithful servants in Teen Challenge Berlin. They pray and are motivated by Your love to help people. And thank You for these encounters. I pray that the people we met last week can have open hearts to listen to the Gospel. May they eventually know that what can save them and help them in their situation is not people, not food, money, or a home — it’s You and only You. May they know they have a Lord and Savior who cares for them.

And dear Lord, thank You for revealing other things — that they need discipline, and that they also need to have a correct portal to access true information, not rumors. So thank You for the idea that I should develop a knowledge hub to provide information not only for them but also for the people who want to help them. And thank You for the provision — You have shown me how to set up the infrastructure to facilitate the platform through my current job.

You did show me every step I would step into, and You did go before me to prepare the right people and the right things in the right place at the right time. Praise You, my dear Father. I pray that there will be more of Your children singing to You with thanksgiving, making melody to You on the lyre. Thank You for taking pleasure in those who fear You, in those who hope in Your steadfast love.

May I walk in the way of righteousness, in the paths of justice, embracing the inheritance from You and the filling of my treasuries You grant, to build Your kingdom for You.

In Jesus' name I pray and receive,

Amen.

05 Dependency upon God Alone

Praise the Lord! A person said yes to be my future employee. Thank God that He "lent" me His faithful servant to help me :)

This is the fifth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bringing us together to pray and wait upon You to show us this path. I don’t have much money right now, but You will provide. You have shown me many, many times that verse in Psalm 67—even now. I also want to say it out loud: Then shall the earth yield her increase; And God, even our own God, shall bless us!

Thank You for giving us this vision—that we have to discharge or break the dams and let the blessings go through the land. And thank You for the privilege that we can also build the canals to redirect the blessings to the needs.

Lord, I pray for wisdom for us to discern, and to depend on You only for such a time. And I pray that we will only be motivated by Your holy love. May we focus on Your Word—and You are the Word.

Your law is perfect, reviving the soul;
Your testimony is sure, making wise the simple;
Your precepts are right, rejoicing the heart;
Your commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes;
The fear of You is clean, enduring forever;
Your rules are true, and righteous altogether.

May the words of our mouths and the meditation of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight. All glory to You, our Rock and our Redeemer.

In Jesus' name I pray and receive,

Amen.

06 You are Moving Fast

In the past week, I really sense that everything is working for good for the one who loves the Lord in an abundant way. He is moving super fast this week.

This is the sixth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for all these revelations so far, and for more in the coming days. May You pour down Your heavenly wisdom unto us, so that we can comprehend more about the world You have created with love, and meditate on Your word so that we can discover the details and find the joy within it.

May You continue to grant us the heart to pray not only for the homeless people in Berlin, but also for all those who haven’t yet found where they belong — they belong to the Lord and Savior. And please grow our hearts to long even more for our heavenly home that You have prepared for us.

Suffering is the path we are called to walk. Please teach us how to find joy within it, and grant us fellowship time in You to make our joy complete. I believe that we won't veil Your glory — we burn to hallow Your name with all that we are. That is what we are made for.

Abba Father, I bend my knees before You, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that You would grant us, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through Your Spirit in the inner self, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith; and that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth — and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge — that we may be filled to all the fullness of God.

Thank You for loving us so much. I believe we both love You and will love You more than yesterday, every day.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

07 Bound Together in His Spirit

A close sister in Christ, who is an English teacher, has taught a particular book for years. It’s a story that touches on aspects of homelessness in Berlin. The book is called Go, Went, Gone by Jenny Erpenbeck. I recently received a copy—thank you so much for sharing it with me!

This is the seventh weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for all the fellowship I have with brothers and sisters across nations. This week, I witnessed our fellowship group see deliverance from slavery in Pakistan through prayer and the financial support provided by Your hand. An entire family is now able to start a new life, free from bondage.

And this ministry and these projects are in their prayers as well. Thank You not only for reminding us to pray for one another’s struggles, but also to pray for how each of us may glorify You. We have truly experienced Your faithfulness and unexpected surprises through every season.

Thank You for the revelation that it always begins with prayer meetings. And thank You for the edification that praying together for unity is itself an act of unity. Lord, this was truly Your prayer for us before You went to the cross.

Therefore, one thing I have prayed—and continue to pray—for all of us is this: please continue to teach us how to pray according to Your will, so that You will fill us with all joy and peace in believing, that we may abound in hope by the power of Your Spirit.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

08 Righteous Rain

Thank you for the lesson that deep-dived into the reality of the emotions from a brother in Christ. We don't need the superficial emotions but a heart from God. We should not be afraid of being angry but dive into true righteous anger with a pure heart, so that we would understand the wrath of God and turn it towards our true enemies.

This is the eighth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,Thank You for speaking through a brother and once again writing Your word on my heart—that we should love righteousness and hate wickedness—so that You will set us above our companions by anointing us with the oil of joy.

Thank You for revealing the enemies’ plans beforehand, so we can rely on You more deeply and continue to feast abundantly in their presence. I thank You that what has been stolen throughout our lives is being restored with extra blessing. You are our exceedingly great reward.

I know You are pouring down the heavy rain of righteousness in Berlin from today. Let judgment run down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream. I pray that Your children who still rely on their own strength and strategies to resist the righteous waters will be drawn into an even greater vortex—so they learn to depend only on You. And for those who surrender and flow with the righteous stream, teach them how to breathe in it and find true freedom. Thank You for mercy in the form of anger, and healing in the form of discipline. Thank You for Your willingness to forgive.

Thank You for being our judge. May the righteous rain heal the poor in this city.

Berlin belongs to God.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

09 Pray for People's Salvation

I have had fruitful conversations over the past days, not only with believers but also with non-believers. These moments remind me once again of the urgent need to pray for people’s salvation.

This is the ninth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the divine reminder that we must urgently pray for people’s salvation. At the same time, help us take our faith seriously—taking every thought captive, examining and testing ourselves to see whether we are truly in the faith. May Christ Jesus be in us at every moment. If not, Lord, I ask for Your mercy—please burn away our doubts, so that we may look straight into Your eyes and not be distracted. Remove any numbness and apathy in our hearts when we see the lost; give us Your heart and Your mind for those who do not yet know You.

I want to lift up before You the ministry in Pakistan that one of my prayer groups is supporting. Their sewing skills center for women has been asked to vacate its location. Lord, I ask that You open a new door for them and give them clear direction and instruction to overcome this difficult time by Your grace.

As I pray for them, I also thank You for inspiring me with the vision to open a job training center and begin brainstorming possible job opportunities for homeless people—so that they may have their own “fishing rods” to fish for themselves.

Thank You also for the clear instruction to make this ministry more public, and for reminding me to set the SEO settings on the website by the end of August.

Finally, Lord, I once again lift up the people in my heart. May they not quench or grieve the Holy Spirit. Please open their hearts and minds to receive You as their Lord and Savior, and may they be baptized with Your Spirit and with fire. Please, Lord, bring back Your prodigal sons and daughters with Your holy love. Let them know that there is no shame in repentance—only Your deep and unending love.

Your will shall be done for sure.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

10 The Joy of the Lord is My Strength

Thanks to a sister in Christ who prayed for me and shared a children's story as an analogy of going on an adventure with the Lord: We are going on a bear hunt.

This is the tenth weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for the story You shared through my sister in Christ. And thank You for the truth that I’ve revised a bit into my own version:
We’re going on a bear hunt.
We’re going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We’re not scared.
(While crossing the obstacles):
We can’t go over it.
We can’t go under it.
Oh yes!
We’ve got to go through it!

Because You are with me—and even go before me—this gives me great joy. And indeed, Your joy is my strength. I know, and I know, that You love my company, because I am Your beloved child. I also love to chat with You and enjoy Your sense of humor. Thank You that this has become the firm foundation for believing in Your promises, rather than being distracted by what is seen. Help me to stay focused on the unseen.

Even when others cannot understand me, it doesn’t hurt me deeply—because You understand me, even more than I understand myself. And that is more than enough. Your grace is sufficient in every moment. This is the great peace You continue to increase in me.

I thank You for giving me a deeper hunger and simple curiosity to know more about You. And I thank You that during this season, You’ve brought people into my life—several international groups of people who have no interest in human-made strategies, and who are willing to listen to the Holy Spirit, rather than trying to fit You into our limited views.

I pray that more will join us—to fellowship in Christ and make our joy complete. I pray that everyone who is and will be involved in this ministry may have this foundation in You, and hold the right posture in their hearts. I pray that there will be no compromise, no leaven involved. And let us not be stressed about any of this—for it is You who perfect our faith, not we ourselves.

And I pray, Lord, that we will have joy from You during this great adventure. And thank You that I can laugh at the time to come.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

11 Endurance, Guidance, and Generous Faith

Recently, I unexpectedly encountered many faithful ministers. They risk their lives to reach unreached places, tribes, and even countries under persecution. Their stories have greatly encouraged me and reminded me once again of the blessing of remaining uncompromised.

This is my 11th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the encounters that have encouraged me so deeply. Thank You for letting me see the trajectory of Your grace. I know You are preparing something great and new for me. I can hardly imagine all these connections across the world. This is the hope You continue to grow in me—the hope of a global church founded only on You. Not to entertain people, not to compromise with cultures or modern agendas, not to feed self-ambition.

Thank You for impressing on my heart that if anyone uses a definition that does not come from the Bible to interpret the Bible, they will be misled and distort the truth—because the starting point is already wrong. You alone are the starting point. We must deny ourselves and follow You. And it is Your Holy Spirit who helps us understand Your Word, for without abiding in You, we can do nothing.

Thank You for making it so clear that: there are curses for those who compromise, and blessings for those who endure. And the blessings for those who endure are far greater than anything this world could offer or imagine.

Indeed, this is why I endure and am able to endure. Even more, You have granted me blessings I never imagined. Thank You for teaching me to care not about the number, but about the heart to give. This is such a precious lesson from You, and I know You will bless me more because I already know how to trust You and give. Thank You for all the opportunities You have given me—and will continue to give me—to give.

With You, my mighty God, all things are possible. You are my great Counselor and Provider, and in You, the word “budget” almost seems funny—because You supply all I truly need.

Thank You for teaching me to become more and more like You. I love You.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

12 Forget About the Money

Last weekend I met a friend with whom I’ve had many conversations about homeless people. As we talked, I remembered a discussion we had months ago, when we said that not every homeless person truly needs money. Back then, we came up with this “solution”: if I don’t bring my wallet, I don’t have to face the question of whether to give or not. At the time, I thought it was a clever idea.

But now I see it differently. That “solution” was actually just an excuse—something that allowed me to avoid the moment of discernment in each encounter. By doing that, I was also closing myself off from the chance to bless others with what I do have, whether that’s money, attention, or something else.

In truth, it was the behavior of burying the talent in the ground—ignoring the call to discern each situation and, in doing so, missing the opportunity to grow and to learn.

This is my 12th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for revealing these truths to me and for teaching me so much about generosity recently. You have reshaped my understanding of money, showing me that I should not measure things by money alone, but by true purpose and value. Money is only one of the many blessings You allow to circulate in the world; I should not be blocked by the numbers themselves. Accumulating material things can hinder the flow of Your blessings, but blessings are meant to run through people and water the earth.

Thank You for teaching me that the purpose of saving is not mere accumulation or “just in case.” True saving is preparation for times of famine or shortage, for specific use at the specific time, just as Joseph did before the famine.

Lord, help me to forget about numbers and instead rely on Your grace—both what You have given me and what You will provide. Teach me to take every thought captive and discern clearly why I use my resources before deciding how to use them. Money is merely a tool to help others, and You are the source of every provision that can bless people through me.

Help me to abandon all measurements of material things—neither quantity nor quality—and instead become a vessel through which Your blessings flow freely. All I truly need is You, and I trust that You will provide everything I truly need.

Thank You for loving me so deeply. Please continue to shape me so that I may be a channel of blessing to others.

Finally, thank You for letting me know that I am so rich in You—far more than a billionaire.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

13 No Grey Zone in You

In the past few weeks, I’ve explored the topic of judgment in several Bible studies, especially in 1 Corinthians. These times have led to some really practical and insightful conversations. I’ve come to see that we are always discerning between what is true and what is false—and that very act is a form of judgment. The real question, then, is not whether we judge, but how we judge: do we measure by God’s standard or by our own? To deny that we judge is both self-deceptive and an evasion of responsibility. It blinds us to truth, robs us of wisdom, and dulls our spiritual vision instead of sharpening it.

This is my 13th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Teach me to continue to discern with Your wisdom; teach me to continue to judge in Your standard. In the position You want me to stand, help me to stand firm and ignore the judgments that are not from You. Keep me in a gentle and lowly state, because I want this continuity: to seek a deeper understanding of You, to listen to Your voice clearer, and to enter into deeper peace in You.

Thank You for teaching me that there is no grey zone in You. There is only One Truth. Light is light, darkness is darkness. True is true, false is false. I don’t need to be double-minded in my life. I believe every intention or motivation not for You is false, because everything is created through You and for You. Help me to do everything in love and glorify You only.

Lord, I pray that I may have the love, endurance, and patience from You to sacrifice for love and bear fruit, even when others disagree. Continue to forge me and make me even smaller, so that I may see clearly that You are doing mighty things.

Father, thank You for convincing me that You have taught me and sustained me to keep myself in Your love, and never leave You. I will remain in Your presence and pour out my heart and all my question marks before You, to know my Creator more and more. And this will be my entire life.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

14 Encouragement from Every Nation

In the past week, I have unexpectedly met more people and received many lessons about leadership through them. I feel so encouraged, and they come from different nations. Now I’ve already spoken with people from every continent in a short time! :)

This is my 14th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for the lesson about leadership, and for using different people to speak to me. Thank You for showing me that one of the most important qualities of a leader is maintaining humanity in that position—not with fakeness, but with sincerity. Not by escaping, but by moving forward. Nowadays there are many lies about our emotions, and even attempts to numb us from feeling, so that we might escape true reality. Thank You for breaking those lies and revealing the truth.

Thank You for guiding me through all of this in the past, and for giving me clear goals to move forward. Yes, Father, I want to be a leader, and I will be a leader. I say “yes” to You now with clearer determination than before. I believe this is the path You want me to walk. All the talents and gifts You have given me, and will give me, I will use only for You. Lord, help me not to compromise in this—even in the small things that people might ignore. Help me not to give in at all. Build me and train me in the smallest things, so that through You I may be able to handle greater things in the near future.

Thank You for teaching me that a leader protects his or her people, not sacrifices them. With You, this is surely possible. Thank You, Lord, that You have given me a list of people I can work with. Please give me the wisdom to step forward, to begin recruiting, and to ask them to pray about the things You have placed in their hearts.

I trust You. And I trust that I trust You.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Forget About Deadlines

This week, I was several times placed in situations where I had to reflect more on the way humans usually act—or how my old self tended to act. I’m thankful that early this morning, a brother in Christ blessed me with a prayer: that I can bring my questions before God, and that He may even resurrect the thoughts I once had in the past.

This is my 15th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this past week, for bringing me to the limit where I really have to think about my thoughts, and for helping me renew my mind — both in the surprise of joy and in the reflection that comes with pain.

Thank You for bringing the concept of time back to my attention. Especially about deadlines. I searched my memory and even checked with ChatGPT, and it seems that no biblical figure ever prayed, “God, by [exact date] I want to do this for You.” Some acted under timeframes You gave, others made conditional vows without dates, and some set practical timelines after prayer.

The truth is, all timeframes come from You. If I pursue You fervently and faithfully, without distractions, I don’t really need to set deadlines myself, because I walk together with You. Deadlines are only for people who are passive and need to push themselves forward. But You don’t delight in lukewarm or passive hearts. So please help me to do everything in Your timing, and remind me continually that You also care about my rest.

Lord, the next question I want to bring to You is how to shorten — or even remove, if possible — the gap between thoughts and practice. I long for integrity. Please teach me and help me. Give me discernment so that in every situation I face, I always follow Your instructions, Your timing, and be moved by Your grace-filled love. May I really believe that I can discover truth by grace, and confirm grace through truth.

Thank You for all the emotions You give me, and please give us hearts after Your own heart.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Strength to Rejoice, Courage to Act

This week, I was available to say “yes” to some help, and I experienced healing from the Lord regarding my childhood. As a child, I didn’t have to be independent, because I was just a child. The Father told me that He was there from the beginning, so I didn’t need to be harsh on myself or feel like I had to be independent. The truth is, I never have to be independent—I am called to be dependent on my Heavenly Father.

This is my 16th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You, Lord, for the unexpected healing last week. I am grateful that You let me experience this healing before witnessing the tragedy of a brother in Christ, so that I may know with certainty that You will comfort those who mourn. Please give us vision to see beyond the brokenness, to recognize the hope within it, and to grasp it firmly and hold onto it. Lord, in every dark moment when the darkness feels overwhelming, let Your overwhelming love surpass it.

I have been reflecting on Your Word that says, “Rejoice always.” This makes me believe it is possible to rejoice even in sorrow. And in the following verses, You answer, “Pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances”—for this is Your will. So Lord, please help me to pray about everything. Teach me to bring all things before You, and continue to guide me to pray according to Your will.

Teach me and shape me to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Help me never to lose heart—in pain, in tears, in disappointment, or even in sickness. And please help me never to ignore injustice, especially corruption and broken systems that need to be changed. Give me all that I need if You are calling me to take part in that change, and help me step forward not with fear, but with love.

May Your will be done.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Clear Speech and Patient Growth

Recently, unexpectedly (yes, unexpectedly again!), I have a lot of conversations regarding homeless people outside of Germany. I am glad that there are people who also care about this deep issue in our societies.

This is my 17th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You once again for bringing people into conversations and showing me that there are people around the world who care about the homeless. I am not sure why You have brought so many people from outside of Germany into this, but I know there is a purpose. Please continue to reveal the path to me. Please guide the conversations and give us the wisdom and the motivation of love this weekend.

Father, I pray that You teach me to articulate my thoughts so that people can understand more easily. Sometimes these thoughts keep evolving in my mind, and my expression cannot stay up to date or synchronized. Please help me with speaking—and only with the things that You want me to speak or express. If there are things You do not want me to speak about, please keep my mouth shut. And when people do not understand, give me the discernment to know whether my speech needs more improvement. In any case, please help me to speak the truth that I believe, even when people do not understand.

And Lord, thank You for showing me that this project is happening, and that it is bigger than I expected. Thank You for all the prayers lifted for this project, for the homeless, and for the lost. Thank You for teaching me not to rush, for sharpening my patience, and for teaching me everything in prayer and through prayer.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Transformation in Health and Society

This week I caught the flu, which made me reflect again on the healthcare system in Germany. I don’t think setting a strict threshold for transitioning from public to private insurance is a good idea. The public healthcare system is already overloaded, while there is still capacity in the private sector. On another note, I also had fruitful conversations with people from different cities who share an interest in addressing homelessness.

This is my 18th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for bringing me into a field I never imagined, and for using my personal experiences to give me compassion for those who are sick and in need of health resources. Thank You for showing me that there are deep, systematic problems that need to be solved. Please guide me in understanding how to approach this complex puzzle, and bring the right people alongside me—those who also carry the heart to transform the system.

Thank You, Lord, not only for the vision on the social system side, but also for leading me step by step into a new chapter on the business side. You are showing me how to raise funding and develop business plans. Please give me a heart that seeks not income for its own sake, but instead looks for how the environment and market respond. I especially pray for wisdom in raising public awareness about these very issues.

Lord, please restore humanity within people. Soften hardened hearts and remove the numbness and selfishness that pervades society. Teach us to have compassion for one another. May we be fruitful and multiply, both physically and spiritually through You, in order to fulfill the very first task You entrusted to humanity.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Anointed to Contribute

This week I put some thoughts into a structural proof-of-concept plan, and several brothers and sisters gave me thoughtful and practical feedback that will help me improve further. Once again, God has revealed to me the importance of humanity, reminding me that selfishness has no place in a healthy society.

This is the 19th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for helping me to step forward. I remember that You prepared me long ago to brainstorm and write plans. Since my bachelor’s studies, I have written plans for student club events and records, camp programs, and even in my very first job after graduation, I created a thorough plan for an organization, including operations and budget. You have prepared me precisely for everything. Although that job was the most boring period of my life, now I can see the fruits.

I also want to thank You for stopping me from obtaining German citizenship before I understood the mindset of contributing back to society. I cannot merely take advantage of this place for my own convenience and give nothing in return. This is the same lesson for homeless people and for all of us—to contribute to the place where we live.

Lord, I want to pray as A.W. Tozer prayed: I ask You to sharpen my mind and enable me to receive everything You want to say to me. I ask You to anoint my head with the oil of the prophet so that I may speak Your truth to the people—for their strengthening, encouragement, and comfort.

I know this will not be an easy path, but by Your grace, I have learned the secret of how to rejoice always.

I rejoice for who You are.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.

Prepared Hearts and Faithful Steps

Last weekend, I found myself recalling several conversations and finally having deeper talks with people I hadn’t connected with in that way before. Then, as I was praying, this idea suddenly came to me.

This is the 20th weekly prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for this idea. So many things are now coming together for good, and it’s amazing to see how You orchestrate everything. It’s wild at times, but I love it. Even now, I sense there are small pieces that You will use mightily in the future — and I deeply appreciate that.

Thank You for not letting me compromise. I pray that only those who, like the ones in the story of Gideon, lapped the water with their hands, will join this work. Father, I ask that only those whom You have chosen to go with me will walk with me — and I trust that You will show me who they are.

Lord, I pray for people to say “yes” to You — and to remain faithful to that “yes.” Thank You in advance for these people. Please prepare their hearts, and mine as well, to wait upon You — just as the disciples waited together in unity in the upper room before Your Spirit came. And when You speak, may we move in obedience to what You show us to do.

Lord, I ask for that same unity, and for the boldness to stand firm in what You reveal — always with the motivation of love.

In Jesus’ name I pray and receive,

Amen.
