I Realised I am Not Alone...

Today I attended a Conference for Christian Lawyers together with ST and others. All this while, since my first experience working in a legal firm, I thought that the society is so realistic that what firms care about is to make money. Of course, it is not wrong to be realistic; after all, we need money to survive! However, is practice about making money? Isn't it a Profession? Do we really need to be like the "Ambulance Chaser" described on Facebook?

It is indeed disappointing to find out the true colours of the society; gone were the days where we dreamt about being a good lawyer, and more importantly, a Christian lawyer. When I say 'society', I mean the society in general, and not about the legal society per se. I still remember when I worked as a Sales Assistant, all the employer cared about was: "how much profit did you earn for me today?"

One of the organiser said: "You are not here by accident". So, I was not there by accident. Is there something that God wants to tell me from this Conference? I think so...

I realise that I am not alone in this field. What I mean is, I realise that there are actually a lot of things that we can do as Christian lawyers to help those who are in need, which is my initial intention in embarking my journey in this career. How am I going to do it? I really do not know that answer, but having attended the Conference, I believe that it serves as a stepping stone. The step may be small, but at least one step is taken.

Will I be able to realise my own intention? I trust that God will make a way.

Dear Lord, I thank You for giving me the opportunity to learn how to serve You in my career. Please lead me through as You know that I am weak. Please guide me and show me Your light so that I will be walking on the right path. Please open Your way for me, and show me how I can serve You in this aspect. Jesus, we need You to help us to overcome the dilemmas that we might face during the pursuance of our career. We pray that You would give us wisdom and strength to overcome the challenges ahead and shine for You. Please help us to be compassionate, loving, kind and always have the fire in us to fight for justice, for You are the righteousness Lord.

In Jesus' precious name we put down ourselves and commit ourselves to You so that Your name shall be glorified. In the Lord's name we pray, Amen.

Five Finger Prayer

This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives.

1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a 'sweet duty.'

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger - the smallest finger of all, which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, 'The least shall be the greatest among you.' Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
