Trust in God
We as God's servants, ask the Lord everyday for good examination results, a promotion from your grouchy boss, a wife that you can cherish and vice versa, a child, a piece of chocolate, and all kinds of random things that just suddenly pop into your head. We ask God for many things that we ourselves cannot achieve but God helps us relive our dreams and resurrect our hopes. But just how are we able to achieve it if there is no mutual trust between you and the Lord? Sometimes we just take things for granted and make a thoughtless prayer hoping that we would get things effortlessly and purely rely on Him, thinking you life will go on good just because you THOUGHT you prayed. You think your praying, but are you really? Is there sincerity in your prayer? You think you trust in Him, but do you? Do you still have doubts? Do things other people say affect you upon attaining your hopes and desires? For most of us, these things still boggles our minds.

Well, one thing for sure, you'll never know which prayer God would grant and which prayer he would not. But actually, ALL of this prayer stuff, and I mean ALL of it, purely depends on your trust with God. To make it simple-sounding, when you doubt, what you actually believe is He may or may not grant your prayer, and even though you'd deny it, you don't really believe God can do everything. In your doubt, God will decide to hold on to your prayers until you start placing full trust in Him, and obviously that's not all! If you don't make an effort to increase the chances of getting your prayers fulfilled, why would God want to help? He would, again, hold on to your prayers until you start putting in the maximum effort you believe you can put in to your goals, and that's really it.

I don't know about everyone else, but I know that God helps me in every bit and piece of my life, even how minor as it appears, even if may not seem to be very nerve-wrecking, the things you personally face and get worried about are

    Prayer may not always be answered the way you expect it to be answered. For example you ask God to make you more patient. God may not make you more patient, but he may give you the opportunity to be more patient. Also if God is all knowing and all loving (omniscient and omnibenevolent) he knows what is best for you, although it may not feel loving at the time. As a Christian that could teach you that God knows what you “really” want, even if you don’t know it yourself yet. You would feel blessed and thankful for what God has given you.…

    In the area of a Christian’s life, prayer is ever present within the development of the Christian character. Jesus prayed before going to through the many trials leading up to the cross. Daniel prayed regularly three times a day. And these are just some of the examples of the importance of prayer in the development of a Christian’s character. In the book, Inquiring After God, chapter 13 covers the subject of prayer and how rather than simply being something said before a meal or merely asking for things, prayer has a deeper meaning rooted in the understanding and communication with God and His truths.…

    Abish 6-8 Essay

    I constantly find myself asking God in prayer what He wants of me. I ask “What sacrifice can I make?”, “What can I offer you God?” and “How can I repay you for all you have given me?” Being human, I feel it is instinct to ask what personal sacrifice I can offer as a form of payment to God. This is instinct to me personally because in the real world, this is how I pay people, whether it be through the form of money or other physical items. God is different, God is divine and does not ask for physical items of sacrifice. Instead he asked for something that is more meaningful. He asks us to find it within ourselves to act justly, kindly, humbly and spiritually. He wants us to show love to all of His creation, to forgive those who have wronged us, live with the knowledge of right and wrong and to depend on Him. I believe that the article, “What does it mean to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly (Micah 6:8)?” by gotquestions.org explains this message best when they state, “Instead of taking pride in what we bring to God, we humbly recognize that no amount of personal sacrifice can replace a heart committed to justice and…

    We were living a fairly normal life even though we had been married for a year and had two young children, one of which was a baby girl. Yes, I was a single pastor for many years before marrying! I was the pastor of the church I had been serving for about seven years before I met my wife. It was a revitalization project that God had blessed in so many ways. The Church was healthy and growing, so my “work” life was secure. I was praying through whether God was finished with me at this church, which would be positive move. We were well adjusted to married life, and now fairly adjusted to married life with two young children. As you can see things were normal for a pastor and his family until a series of disasters came into our lives.…

    My Personal Faith

    My faith has enabled me to handle life challenges from my past and present. Some of these challenges have been series of events that I could hardly believe were happening, while others came with great joy. At five years old, my younger brother, Chandler, died unexpectedly. This was a tough challenge for my whole family to face. This challenge could have easily torn my family apart but together, as a team with God, we worked hard at picking up the pieces and moving forward even when there were days that seemed to be impossible. In the fifth grade, I was diagnosed with a common learning disability known as Attention Deficit Disorder. I am faced with this challenge on a daily basis. I have learned to cope with this disorder over the years by making prayer and patience priorities in helping me conquer this challenge. This challenge was especially difficult during my SAT and ACT tests. Certain scores on these tests were required to get into college and play NCAA football. The stress and pressure of taking these tests felt unbearable at times. While studying and before and during each test, I would remind myself that, through God, all things are possible. With God by my side, I was able to achieve the scores needed to reach my college and athletic goals.…

    Elie has been a follower of God ever since he was brought into this world, and truthfully I cannot imagine him ever giving up hope in his God. I would have to say probably the only thing in the world that could have ever managed to make Elie even doubt his God one bit would be the holocaust. It would be understandable because throught the entire novel he is faced with many 'obsticles' that would have easily made anyone turn their backs on God. Elie is a different case though, from a young age starting his path with God. Wiesel thought of his God before as well as during the Holocaust as both the 'protector' and 'punisher' of the Jewish people. Whatever had happened before, he had faith that it was for their good, or one of 'God's greater plans'. Either way, he would accept God's will without questioning. When rumors of the Nazis' crimes first reached some of the outlying Jewish towns, like Wiesel's Sighet, no one believed them. The rabbis said "Nothing will happen to us, for God needs us." The town felt that God was with them and would protect them from anything as horrible as what these rumors suggested. They felt safe and secure in their faith or in 'God's hands'.…

    Most of us are like that. We use to give up when we encounter difficult problems. We always say that we can’t do it or we will not succeed. We always think that the problem is so big that we can’t solve it. But the truth is there is a bigger one than that problem we are encountering. We never thought that God is bigger than our problem.When we have a problem we always ask for someone’s help, not thinking God,above all else, can help us. We should always remember, “God won’t give us trials we can’t solve.”…

    Prayer is a mighty spiritual force. It is spiritual food for the soul. Spiritual practices must be done regularly, as our life will be gradually changed and moulded. Prayer lights the heart and fills the mind with peace, strength and purity. When the mind becomes pure through the power of prayer, the intellect becomes sharp and keen. Holy Mother says spiritual practices are meant to keep the mind steady at the feet of God; to keep it immersed in His thought. Repeat His name.…
