Prayer is the best weapon we can have in our entire existence. This is the most effective way to fight against the odds about life. Prayer is how we communicate with God, and He wants to get to know us better.
In addition, prayer isnβt just about asking God for things you need or desire. Itβs about establishing a relationship with Him built on faith and trust in Him. God knows the desires of your heart long before you even think to ask, but he still loves to hear from you. Whether you're asking for guidance or giving thanks because it draws you closer to him.Β
Our good God is not deaf nor mute. He constantly listens to what we say. What we prayed for. What we ask for. However, He answers our devotions in three ways.
The first is No because there are things that we ask for Him that is not suited for us. Not best for us. Not for us. He didn't want us to suffer from being in a miserable life. What He loves us is that He want us to enjoy and love life. So, sometimes, He answered our prayers with no for us to have the best life ahead. So, don't be disappointed or get angry with God if He answered your request with No because there is a purpose and reason behind it. Just be thankful instead.π
Second, it could be a wait but it doesn't mean that it is not worth it. Hence, He just wants to test our persistence unto him. He just wants us to be consistent to ask Him. After all, even if it is late but in His, it is the best time for us. The best time to enjoy the things He granted and answered upon. All the answered prayer that is somewhat late is not indeed late but it is the best for us or shall I say, perfect timing to pursue what we do. Thus, don't force God to give instantly what you ask for. Just learn to wait. π
The last or the third one is YES. Most of the time God answered our prayers with a YES. Why? Simply because He loves us. He knows exactly that it is best for us. It is precisely the things we need. The things we wanted. He didn't answer it with a yes if he knew that it will harm us. That it can ruin our life. Remember that, He is God. He knows everything. He is an omniscient God. π
Be prayerful amid hardships. Why,? Because God didn't rest. He always listens. He stands with His word. His words are true. His words are genuine and can be trusted. Every time you have something to ask for just speak to Him, He has always free time for you. Just open up what you truly desire or need. He is willing to listen and willing to grant of all them. He will never fail you. He will never disappoint you.π He is good and He loves you/us. π
Author's Finishing Note:
All said from above are all from my thoughts and my heart. I just want to share with you the truth that God is willing to help you. He is always vacant just for you. He is always waiting for you to get close to Him. His arms are wide open to welcome you. He will never leave nor forsake you. π
That would be all for today my newfound family here. π I just want to express what I felt this time. God just enlighten my mind to be prayerful always no matter what happens. He reminded me just now as I am about to sleep tonight. π I do hope that I inspired and encourage you in this short yet worth to share thoughts. Thank you for reading and dropping by. God bless you. Shalom!

Amen to that. You are correct. prayer is not just about asking God for things. It's supposed to be two-way communication. It's not talking to God, it's talking WITH God. Sometimes, we can still pray by just being still.
