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

    “Lord please save my sister’s life. Please keep her safe even in the midst of her drunkenness and drugs. Jesus please keep her alive long enough to come to you for salvation.” I have been praying this for over 30 years and still I believe for her salvation. I am comforted by the knowledge that He hears my cries and has kept her alive thus far. In fact, last week she approached me about going to church again (she hasn’t gone since she was in middle school)!…

    We all have had moments of tragedy and despair. It is in our darkest hour that many of us pray to God for comfort, I believe he answers our prayers when we are ready. We need to understand that asking God for material things will probably be ignored, that the greatest gifts we receive from God come from what we live and learn. For instance, my life was very difficult in many ways. I came from a home plagued by mental disease and addiction, it was a very lonely existence and I had often prayed for peace and to be loved unconditionally by another person. It did not seem like too much to want from life, however inside me grew resentment and anger. I was not ready to be loved or for a peaceful existence because I had not even loved myself. Over twenty years I lived my life angry at God for not giving me what seemed basic for most people and it consumed me to the point of near death. I saw what I had become, but now I had a child and I did not want her to feel the pain that I felt. If I did not change, it would just be repeating the vicious cycle. A very life altering decision was made and I began to heal from my past, but I still had a long journey ahead. I still felt lost and needed someone to understand. Finally I begged God to show me…

    Second, God is at work answering everyone’s prayer. The Bible says in Isaiah 65, verse 24, "It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear." God wants to hear your prayers. He is eager to hear our thoughts and request. He has a desire to have a relationship with His children. The Bible says in James 1, verse 17 that, “Every good thing bestowed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation, or shifting shadow.” God loves us enough to hear our prayers and to help us when we need Him most. The apostle Paul reminds us in…

    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

    • 3 Pages

    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.…

    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.…

If you don’t have it then its hard to live and be happy. For example if you think about it where would we be in the world if nobody trusted anyone?

    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.…
