God is so good! Once again, I felt God’s power working in every single decision I make. I believe that when you lift up your concerns to God, He will in His best way will guide and direct you to the right path.Prayer works! Praying has become very simultaneous to me. It is a time when I can really speak to God. Most of the times, I speak to Him in silence. Every time I experience something, whether good or bad, or if there is something I want to consult or refer to Him, speaking to Him in silence really works for me! Every time I get mad, happy, sad, or any emotions I have at the moment, He certainly knows! It is true when you have developed a deep relationship with Him that you really can not live without telling Him almost everything in your life. Of course, God knows everything we do! But He loves us to converse with Him. It’s like having a normal conversation with a friend. He loves and longs to hear from us. God is not just our Father, Guardian, Redeemer, Salvation… more than all the towering names we call Him; He is our Friend!
What I really realized in praying? It is having a stress-free conversation with God. It is like lifting up everything to Him and believing that He will listen! I realized that He’s the only One I have 24/7 (24 hours, 7 days a week)! He never put me on schedule. There are no conditions or moods I need to express everything to HIM. I can talk to him at my happiest, silliest, and even scariest mood.
Do we really have to get what we prayed for?
I received a text message from a friend that says: “The point of prayers is not always to get answers from God, but to have a perfect and complete unity with Him.” I remember my boss once told me that praying is not actually demanding from God what we want to happen or achieve. The power of prayer is when we pray for something and we don’t get it and still we are at peace and we gladly accept God’s response to our prayers. I always believe that God’s delay is not God’s denial!
Does He respond?
At the silence of my heart, I can hear the messages, answers to my prayers. What’s wrong with us is that we are too loud. We only listen to ourselves. With so many thoughts, worries, and anxieties in mind, we barely hear what God wants to impart to us. We find it hard to be silent and trust Him that He will provide answers to whatever we asked for. We may never get exactly what we want but He never fails to give the best answers, the best solutions, nothing but the best!
What have you prayed for lately? Did you get what you asked for? Does He offer a better answer instead? Never get tired of praying because in the proper time and right motives, God will provide answers! Pray continually and give thanks in all circumstances and be joyful always! God always answers prayer. Always. It may not be the answer you want but He always answers.
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us - whatever we ask - we know that we have what we asked of him" (1 John 5:14-15).
“If the only prayer you ever said was, ‘Thank you.’ that would be enough.” - Meister Eckhart

so true! but you know what would be best? instead of praying that god answers ourr prayers, let us pray for god to use us to answer the prayers of other people.

The more you pray, the more good you become.
More love, more peace will follow. so, prayers are always good.
Have a nice day.
you bet He listens! hahaha that's the problem with this age, some or most actually looks at praying in a very much traditional way. c'mon, God is God, He listens even when we utter nothing, but our thoughts flow silently. Prayer is the greatest source or strength, it doesn't have to be long, traditional and what so ever, just spill it all out and let it all go... indeed He listens, and He listens very well. Even if we wish He hadn't he always does. And prayers get answered always, its just some looks for the answers the way they wanted it to appear, not the way God made it.
Godbless!:-)
hello jen its me again visiting you here

jen,
How are you? I am visiting you, look like you are busy recently.
Have a nice day.
Might be a worn out phrase, but really, I believe in the power of prayers. And HIS ways are better than ours.
Keep the faith! Amen. :)
It may be a worn phrase, but really, it's true that prayers are the best weapons. HIS ways are better than ours.
Keep the faith! Amen.
I remember the phrase "prayer can move mountains" when I was younger I had doubts that it can do that in the literal sense. Now I know it always does. God bless!
So nice. Your way of writing is very convincing. I really love to read your thoughts. Please keep it up...
Hi Jean & Bien,
It was indeed a refreshing moment to read your blog. I was having a deep pain after broke up with my girl friend. It was really a dead end and life seems to be so meaningless. No one actually will understand the pain unless he/she experience it themselves. That's when my relationship with God develop and getting closer. I argue, demand, angry, and up to the extend do not want to talk to Him because He is silent. Yet He show more and more love which I did not understand His way. Now He still heal me gradually and I am getting much better. Your blog really open up a bigger window and brings comfort about God's love and His promises to the broken heart. Keep writing and I am sure God is using us to Glorify His name in our life's experience. Although sometimes I still feel the pain...as you said..."It's worth to feel it..." haha...thanks man!
