PRAYER PA RIN

Ephesians 6:12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

There is one terribly neglected area wherein we should be strong. That is the area of prayer, of praying for one another.

Ang lahat ng tinatamasang sugat at hirap ng pamilya ay maaari nating i-trace sa spiritual failure. A family can be physically, financially, socially and politically strong, but if it is not spiritually strong, it will fall apart. At kung ang isang pamilya ay physically, financially, politically and socially weak pero spiritually strong, kaya nyang lampasan ang lahat ng weakness na yon.

If there is no spiritual strength, everything will be wasted. Only spiritual brokenness causes families to fall apart. In fact, the stronger the family is spiritually speaking, mas lalo silang binibigyan ng mga pagsubok at pinahihirapan sa buhay, kaya lalo silang nagkakapit-kapit at nagyayakap-yakap.

Para dumali ang trabaho ni Satan in destroying the world, he destroys the family. Kapag nasira ng kaaway ang pamilya, especially ang mag-asawa, napakadali nang magkagulo ang lahat. Spiritual strength is our only defense against all the attacks of the evil one against the family.

If you want a strong, solid, cohesive and happy family, prayer is still the best, if not the only, real solution. Sabi sa Bible, we do not fight with flesh and blood but with powers in the air. Ang pakikipagtunggali natin ay hindi physical kundi spiritual. It is through prayer that we strengthen our spiritual foundation. Talagang prayer pa rin ang the best.
