FORGOTTEN PRAYER!

Not once nor twice I often  heard testimonies on how their written prayers or what we called prayer journal works.  You may  forget them  for a period of time but when you look back again you will be amazed on how God answers your prayers.

As the year 2010 starts  I had  been challenged to do the same. I  write down most of my personal prayers, prayers that I didn’t share to anyone, it's just between me and God and as   time goes  by I was not able to track down  my petitions but I always bring with me my journal. Maybe in some way it’s my way of uttering my petitions to God again and again. And God really listens because  no matter how long it will takes  still His answers are always right on time.

I received today a text message from my mother telling that my sister already got a job in Manila. That’s my prayer written in my prayer journal 5 months ago. To give Krisma a better job. Truly God answers our prayer though it may take time, it may be delayed  but  God's answer  is not a denial.

Just like the story of  Abraham when God promised him that he will be the father of all nations . Despite the fact that they are already old and Sarah was barren but yet they still cling on God’s promise. Though it took  them more than 20 yrs to wait for God’s promised . Still God is faithful to His promise.

So let us not lose hope. No matter how long our prayers be unanswered . Whether it takes months, years or decades before we received a sweet yes from God let us not be weary but instead we continue to utter our petitions to our Lord for He cares for us.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. I Peter 5:7
