P is for Pray!
Dear
Diary,
For P
I recommend: Pray.
Today
is Good Friday and I cannot think of a better word from P. I’m not very
religious but I do believe in God and make it a point to spend some alone time
with him. I believe that Prayer has
immense power and it is the answer to every problem.
I have
seen wonders happening with prayer. Miracles happen when you have faith In God
and entrust your life unto him. Sometimes our prayers are not answered; we must
remember that maybe what we are asking is not good for us. God always gives us
what we need because he knows what is best for us.
A
guest lecturer in our Literature class, told us “imagine you are a Lilliput and
God is Gulliver the giant. A storm is coming but you are unable to see it
because of your narrow vision and of course you size but Gulliver can see
everything and he puts you to safety. You may complain for a while, but later
you will realize the importance of the action and thank Gulliver.”
A
classic analogy. Sometimes God leaves our prayers unanswered because he has
something better in store for us, far better than we can ever imagine. We need
to trust God and all that he does.

Prayer can be very good for centring your mind, helping you to realise what is important as well.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Swathi! Thank you :)
DeleteI sometimes find that if I take a moment to close my eyes and sit in silence, it allows me to focus and to be grateful. Not sure whom I direct this too (to life itself?) but it feels like a prayer, and it feels good. Thank you for a very interesting post!
ReplyDeleteThank You for visiting.
DeleteThis is such an excellent analogy! I can attest that prayer works, it does not matter if we don't understand how. God always answers our prayers... sometimes the answer is not now, and sometimes the answer is no, just as any loving parent would respond!
ReplyDeleteGod always answers prayers. He just doesn't always give us what we want. Unfortunately, we forget that "No" is a viable answer. And prayer is also praise of and conversation and time with the One who is worth all our love. Thanks for this post.
