He Hears All

Tonight I was reached out to by a dear friend who said, "I'm getting frustrated in God not answering my prayers". This is very common in the society we live in today. It's frustrating not because we don't  hear God when he answers, but that we sometimes aren't willing to stretch out of our comfort zone to do what is needed. There is something also to be said about the era that we live in. One that marks itself upon instant gratification, and ease of access. The path that we are led down is sometimes one that to you may look gloomy at first, but in the end is one that God intends us to go down. He's seen your journey, and has seen that if you took your path it would be one that is worth all the punches at first.

We must remember that God knows your heart. He knows what it is you desire, and what you truly want. When praying we must remain true to ourselves. There is no need in saying things your heart isn't believing. Stay true, and let it be known from your heart and soul what it is you are requesting from God. When praying we must constantly be thinking about this. Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 

In all that we do, and all that we have we can't forget that this was given to us by the grace of God. For without we would have nothing, but more importantly would be nothing. I ask that you don't just pray for the material things on this earth, but for also the things that you are unable to put a price on. The things that are willing to be done by giving the gift of yourself, and your time. Laugh, Live, and Love.

In conclusion I say that you must stay the course. The roads that are the toughest, and roughest sometimes. Can be the ones that offer us the most fulfillment, and joy in our lives. I will also say that when praying next time speak to God as if he were a friend that is with you till the very end, and someone that loves you unconditionally. Have a wonderful week my friends.

Note: Say a prayer for all those involved in Hurricane Sandy.
