How many times did we ask God to be in favor of us? How many times did we ask God and He answered “yes”?
Recently, I asked 2 things for my birthday. I asked him about my school and for my an easy approval documents. (Of course, it is not just about those; but, those are the 2top issues I had that day) Although, I exerted all the effort that I could given the circumstances, I know that there is something lacking . I felt i was inadequate enough to the point that there is a larger chance for it to have a negative result.
Then there was waiting time.Of course, with every second of the clock there are also millions of people praying .I may not know how He concentrate on our wishes.But, One thing is for sure, he listens. And He does not fail to deliver. My 2 wishes has been granted, And I could not be thankful enough.
However though, I sometimes think that I’ve been receiving a lot of “yes”. More than the things I am elated about, I am afraid, anxious and scared with the fact that someday He will answer me “No”. That someday when I really need it, He would answer me “No”. Of course, there can’t only be a “yes” in this world. Do you know that feeling when you are happy but you cannot be 100%happy because you know something bad could be brewing alongside with that. How ungrateful am I? The Lord has been good for me. Of course,I feel happy but that is also me thinking about the reality. Do you feel this too? When those things hurdle at the back of my mind, I revert to them by saying to myself,”Just be happy for now and …
GETTING A NO
Don’t get me wrong. I also had received a series of No’s. I feel disappointed,frustrated and annoyed for that moment in time. I would ask the “Whys?”. I will say “Unfair”. I will question “How did that happen when I…”But after that moment, as long as I keep my mind open, I realize that He has a better plan. He moves in amazing ways. Ways that we could not even imagine as possible. Things go in proper order. An order that is in accordance to His will.
You know what I think? The reason why we sometimes receive a different Yes and No from what we expect iis that those answers can also mean a lot to the people around us. That it may cause adjustments in our haywired lives. There is always a reason for everything. (Even the “nothing” word has a thing on it. )
When I pray I always extend it to others, then I will say “Let your will be done”. Because the more I think my problem gets more complexed. And then I will sigh and say “yes,Lord Let your will be done”. After all, this life is yours and not ours.
Above are my favorite God’s word that comfort me every time I am troubled. Whenever I am praying, I always remind myself that things will happen in God’s time. Indeed. We find comfort in His words. It makes us think that we don’t really need to worry alone.
Is there anything that you wish right now? Make sure you pray and Lift it up to the Lord:)
