The Praying Patient October 29, 2016

Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.—John 17:11 The obituary for Alan Nanninga, a man in my city, identified him as “foremost, a dedicated witness for Christ.” After a description of his family life and career, the article mentioned nearly a decade of declining health. It concluded by saying, “His hospital stays . . . earned him the honorary title of ‘The Praying Patient’” because of his ministry to other patients. Here was a man who, in his times of distress, reached out to pray for and with the people in need around him. Hours before Judas betrayed Him, Jesus prayed for His disciples. “I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one” (John 17:11). Knowing what was about to happen, Jesus looked beyond Himself to focus on His followers and friends. During our times of illness and distress, we long for and need the prayers of others. How those prayers help and encourage us! But may we also, like our Lord, lift our eyes to pray for those around us who are in great need. —David McCasland Lord, even in our difficult times, may we honor You and encourage others by praying for those who are suffering today. Our troubles can fill our prayers with love and empathy for others.

Things Learned:

May mga bagay bagay na dumarating sa buhay natin na hindi inaasahan tulad ng mga problema, may mga times na parang sumusuko na tayo. Pero may mas malala pa palang problema ang hinaharap ng ibang tao at makikitaan pa natin ng lakas ng loob dahil hindi sila nawawalan ng pag-asa. 

Ika nga habang may buhay may pag-asa, so dapat hindi tayo susuko kung anuman ang problema na darating bagkus tayo ay manalangin sa Diyos, humingi tayo ng guidance at lakas para sa mga darating o nadadaanan na unos. 

Katulad na lang sa atin trabaho, may times na darating ang mga complain coming from our customer minsan sunud-sunod pa nga. Kami taga 3ffb kelangan tulungan namin ang mga taga SBU na masolusyon ang lahat ng complains ng customer. Lahat ay malulutas basta lagi nagtutulungan sa kahit anumang organisasyon.
