3. Prayer in Ecclesiastes Overview Part 5 (Time @ roughly 1:06-1:08)
<Ecc 4:4-11>

 4 And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man's envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
 5 The fool folds his hands
       and ruins himself.
 6 Better one handful with tranquillity
       than two handfuls with toil
       and chasing after the wind.
 7 Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:
 8 There was a man all alone;
       he had neither son nor brother.
       There was no end to his toil,
       yet his eyes were not content with his wealth.
       "For whom am I toiling," he asked,
       "and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?"
       This too is meaningless—
       a miserable business!
 9 Two are better than one,
       because they have a good return for their work:
 10 If one falls down,
       his friend can help him up.
       But pity the man who falls
       and has no one to help him up!
 11 Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
       But how can one keep warm alone?
 12 Though one may be overpowered,
       two can defend themselves.
       A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Lord, my lifetime must not be selfish: giving is receiving
Lord, my lifetime must not compare: my neighbor's success is my joy
Lord, my lifetime must not be proud: my success is the blessed portion of my neighbor
Lord, my lifetime must become my neighbor's blessing
Lord, my lifetime must acquire eternal friends

The above touched me so much that I hear it many times, because I am in deep anguish of not being to love my neighbors because of arrows of motives. Unless I made a one-time prayer of covenant or resolution fully understanding gospel/promise/Emmanuel of these, I will always go in and fall out from my best of friends or coworkers God has placed beside me.

1. A Prayer in 2005 WDC Camp on "John Overview"
Lord, I praise You. Your Divinity and Eternity fills the whole universe. I know Your works never rest. Thank You for giving me such a wonderful life. Thank You for using Your Word and Your Holy Spirit, which incarnated and came into my life. Thank You, Your works are so wise, so that through the example of Jesus Christ, Your authority and glory has totally been revealed them to me.

Father, I really hope that my lifetime will enjoy Your Emmanuel - the mystery of the glory of being with me. Father, help me, so that I shall look upon with importance the honoured life that you have bestowed upon me. Father, help me and enable to know Your word with more understanding, and especially the mystery of Your Holy Spirit. Father, help me so that I can understand Your Word, so that I can understand the working of the Holy Spirit working on me in my heart. Father, help me, so that I can understand more of the mystery of how the Holy Spirit can use all the conditions and events convicting and touching my spirit and my heart. Father, help me to enable me to understand and discern the things of the Holy Spirit and the things of the flesh. Father, help me to format and tidy up my hearts and minds, so that I shall throw away all the unclean things, and the Holiness that comes from You and the precious things that belong to the Holy Spirit shall live in my life. Father, help me to enable me so that I shall remove all the rubbish of insubmission, guilt, inferior, stubborn, greedy, hatred, jealousy, etc. Father, help me so that in my spirit and heart, the honour, glory, precious and content of holiness that comes from You shall be rooted and built up, and so that there shall be a shortcut in my heart. Father, preserve the heart and mind that I have formatted up.

Father, help me to everyday hear Your voice and understand more conclusively. Father, I am willing from this day onwards, to use all my life and times to do the things to glorify You, bless people, and build up the Kingdom, for You to instrumentate. Father, I am willing that I will from this day onwards, just like what Jesus Christ did, continue to preserve loving the Father, loving men and loving my own heart vessel. Father, I am willing to, in all things, ask for Your perfect will - may You reveal them to me - so that I can follow You in all things, so that all my very movements and activities can become Your very works. Father, I know that my life is not yet complete - I am willing to continue to learn - may You teach me in all times and all places through the example of Jesus Christ and the mystery of relying on the Holy Spirit. Father, enable me so that my life shall become the blessing in my family; enable me so that my life shall become the strength in my church; enable me so that my life shall be a witness for regional gospelization, Singapore -> SEA -> China gospelization, and world gospelization. Thank You for listening to my prayers. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen!
