The work of finding and raising spiritual leaders is very important. When one person, Samuel, realized God's desires, it influenced the entire nation of Israel. Today's prayers and small actions can become the foundation for saving a nation and the church of the future. What kind of prayer should you pray?

1. God’s Will and Not Your Own
People aren’t interested in God's desires or will. They follow their own plans and tastes and try to do what’s in their own interests. Saying that they believe in God, their opinions and thoughts take precedence. Moreover, they choose and act based on themselves. They question why it’s wrong to live for themselves and create trends as if protecting their individual rights is a natural and sophisticated way of life. In this world, you must find God's desires and plans before your desires, thoughts, and plans. The prayer that asks for God's will is the prayer that He is most pleased with.

2. In Order to Block Disasters and Save the Age
Through Samuel, the Mizpah movement that took place was a movement in which all Israelites stood before the Word. They laid aside the habits and natures of the past that followed their own views and solely looked at “only God.” When they stood before God, they realized how much they had lived with standards and frames that were centered on themselves, material possessions, and success. In addition, they realized that they could never escape from their fundamental spiritual problems. Only through Jesus Christ can we meet God, be freed from all sins, and overcome the forces of darkness.

Only when God’s Kingdom is established will true peace come to your heart and mind. In doing so, God's works will be fulfilled in your home and in all fields. Only the power of the Holy Spirit can prevent disasters and save the age.

Dear God, through my prayer, please block disasters and save the age. Please use my offering as the light to heal the posterity throughout the world. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
