hello everyone, my name is Bincy and i am from CHICAGO. i came to know of joynet from my friends Sindhu and Lovely. i had been receiving email from JYA but i decided to also join joynet and hear from JY all over the world in addition to those in the US. in Dec. i joined joynet. even though i have been silent, i have been reading all the forwards and personal sharings...i praise God for this email fellowship which is truly wonderful...i am really glad to hear about all the great things that the Lord has been doing all over the world... recently i shared a personal experience at our Sat youth gathering and Sindhu encouraged me to share this with all of you. This last Sat in our youth gathering the topic was about prayer--what is prayer and why prayer is so important... although i know that prayer is really important to ones life i also need reminders every now and then about the POWER OF PRAYER... about a month ago i had this truly amazing experience in confession which only strengthened my feelings about the significance of personal prayer. i was confessing my sins and i usually go in an order of which i feel are the worst first... at this time i was having alot of difficulties in basically all areas of my life especially my relationships with family, friends, colleagues, etc...the last sin i had confessed which i minimized was how i was lazy with my studies and personal prayer...i didn't think too much of this sin but i was really focussed on other ones... when i was done confessing the ac! han gently but directly said to me (which to this day i will never forget b/c i get chills hearing Jesus speak to me thru the achan) of all the sins you committed the biggest sin is your lazziness in your personal prayer life... PRAYER is our COMMUNICATION with the Lord which strengthens our RELATIONSHIP with HIM!!! if our relationship with the Lord (=PRAYER) is poor than all our other relationships will suffer!!!! i started crying out of joy and healing b/c everything made sense at that point!!! although i know in my mind what prayer is and how important it is to my existence, i may not always practice what i know to be true or good for me--I am human and forget and i need reminders!!!! Prayer life is essential not only for our spiritual lives but for all aspects of our life!!!! Praise GOD!!! Luv, Bincy :=)Chicago
