Daybreak prayer

  2011 ended and new year started. When I recollect my previous year, I want to say it was a very thankful year. God has given me much grace and led my family sincerely. But, it seems that my life was not sincere to him. I hope to fill my spirit with meaningful things which the Lord gives to me.

  On the first day of the 2012, I heard a preach in the Sunday worship, and the theme of the preach was about 'breakthrough in 2012.' To overcome the usual and meaningless life, the pastor said we need earnest and continuing prayers. I agree. But, I often postpone my prayer time because I always have other things to do - studying, doing homework, caring Ayin, taking a rest, ... I always want to get out of my meaningless and routine life, but always have reasons, which are things of the life, to postpone meaningful things.

  After hearing the preach, my wife suggested to attend the daybreak prayer in the church. I couldn't decide my mind because I love my morning sleeping time so much. It is so difficult for me to wake up early. I worried to be tired if I would wake up so early. I wanted to rest myself. But, what is need for me and my wife is spiritual breakthrough. Anyway, we should wake up in the morning early because Ayin wakes up early. She usually starts to sleep at 6 p.m. and gets up 5 ~ 6 a.m. One of us should play with her after she wakes up. So, we decided to attend daybreak prayer in the church although going with Ayin requires some preparations.

  On Jan 2, we succeeded to attend the daybreak prayer meeting. My good daughter had slept well during the night and waked up at 5:40 a.m. Wow!! We packed Ayin's goods and went to the church.

  It was the first step for breakthrough in 2012. I don't know whether it will continue to the end of the year or not. Perhaps, I might get very tired. However, I know that my routine days will go on unless I change the priority of my life. I don't want show my meaningless life to my heavenly Father, Ayin and Jeongeun. The change may be small, but the time given to God will not be small.
