When You Pray
When You Pray
If you are going to pray for something, why would you worry
about it after you've prayed for it? Many people will pray and
ask for certain things that they think are needed in their
lives. When what they have prayed for haven't yet manifested
itself, some believe that "GOD" isn't listening to us. The thing
is........if it is not in "HIS" will for you to have that in
which you have prayed for, you will not get it. You must refocus
your prayer.
I am not a religious person trying to push off "the art of
praying" on anyone. So many people seem to think that "If I get
on my knees and pray real hard, the lord will hear me." That's
not the way that prayer works. Help is given to those who helps
themselves. You can't pray for something and then just sit on
your butt waiting for it to fall from the sky.
You may have prayed a specific prayer and asked to receive a
certain "prayer request" within a certain time limit. "HE"
doesn't work that way. When "HE" blesses you, it is on time and
at the right time. Not when you want it. "HE" knows what you
need before you even ask "HIM." So why would "HE" be late. Never!
"Be careful what you pray for because you just might get it" is
a saying many of our grandparents have preached to us. If you
are going to pray for something, be sure that is what you want,
because if you get it, what will you really do with it?
Sometimes we are tested just to see how much we really can
handle.
If you are going to pray...don't worry. If you are going to
worry...don't pray. It's that simple.
