You know the story of the starfishes on the dried up beach?

Well i have it on my wall and it goes like this.

One day, a man walked on the beach when he saw another figure tossing starfishes back into the sea. He was curious coz there was hundreds and thousands of starfishes! And the task to save them all from drying up and dying was almost impossible.

He was curious and asked the man throwing starfishes back, " Why do you keep throwing starfishes back into the sea? There are hundreds of miles and thousands of starfishes, it doesn't make a difference."

The man replied after throwing a starfish back into the sea," I made a difference for that one."

The number of troubles in the world are... immense. But if we could cover just one in prayer for God to do his work everyday, we make a difference to someone's life everyday because prayer is the most powerful tool which moves a person who can move the mountains. If i could say a prayer for someone's trouble and touch someone's life everyday, i make a difference to one more life. It matters because the world has SO MUCH of it, and removing one everyday may seem insignificant, but one everyday would mean 365 in a year. bit by bit step by step. Every life changed is worth more than anything. Because it cost Jesus every drop of his blood to save our lives.

A little time to pray everyday.
The price is worth paying anytime.
