Prayer Brings Victory

When I asked God for strength
he gave me difficult situations to face
When I asked God for brain
he gave me puzzle in life to solve
When I asked God for happiness
he showed me some unhappy people
When I asked God for wealth
he showed me how to work hard
When I asked God for favors
he showed me opportunities to work hard
When I asked God for peace
he showed me how to help others
God gave me nothing I wanted
He gave me everything I needed

PUSH


                 Yep......Pray Until Something Happens (PUSH)........
This is one of the messages that I heard a couple of months ago in my church and today, just as I was having a glance through my notes, I came through this piece of message-yielding scripture part that I felt that I had to share with this world. So here it goes..............................

                                  The part of new testament taken for meditation is Luke 18:1-8
This part of scripture just manifests a simple logical message, that God will surely answer His people if they go on asking Him in prayer. To explain what is said in this short passage from the Bible, in a nutshell, this pictures a story which Jesus narrates to his followers to unveil the matter that everyone should pray without losing hope. It is said that there was a judge in a town who don't care about God or other people, wherein, a widow was also there who wanted a favor to be done for her by him. But he didn't do for a long time, yet she went on pestering him.........So, finally, a moment came when he thought to grant her the favor tat she had requested, thinking that atleast she would stop bothering him anymore. Thus her wish was granted for her. This is the same thing that happens in our life too. When we start crying to our Lord day and night for our problems or desires or anything else, He won't be slow to answer us and finally the wish will be granted for us(b'coz of our continuous prayer).

(1) DON'T  WORRY - PRAY (Phillipines 4:6,7)

                                     Instead of worrying and meditating our problem, its a very wise and apt decision to sit and pray, pouring ourselves whole-heartedly to the Lord God Almighty, so that His peace, which is incomparable to any other feelings that we yield from man will surround us and keep us safe. Worrying and getting depressed paves no way for anything other than the situation getting even worse. For getting the right solution for our troubles, we should seek Him in prayer, giving thanks always.

(2) DON'T  QUIT - PRAY PERSISTENTLY (Psalm 55:15,16,17)

                                   Sometimes, we may not get an answer for our prayer,that is, a solution for our problem as quickly as we desire. So, the acceptable truth is that most of us feel fed up in our lives and stop praying or start to ridicule our God for not giving an answer. But, tats the big fault that we do in our lives. Instead, the correct thing is, we have to sit more in God's presence and start holding His feet, crying to him persistently, for which He'll surely light up our lives, wiping away our tears. After all, He's a very just and faithful God! So, the gist is that our prayer should not be quit at any cost.

(3) DON'T  DOUBT - PRAY POSITIVELY (James 1:6,7 ; I John 5:15)

                                  This is a common thing that we do always. Of course, we pray, worship and we do everything. But our innermost soul and heart won't believe positively. We'll always have a doubt whether the thing we desire would happen. The Holy Bible strictly insists that we shouldn't even have a doubt in the size of a mustard seed. If we have it, then there's no use in asking God for that. When we pray, we should always have the optimistic thought that its going to be done for us. And the ultimate fact is that, it WILL be done for us too.


So....Friends........this is the one of the sermons that got deeply rooted into my inner self and I have experienced it too. I've always experienced a wonderful peace of mind after saying all my miseries to my God, that I won't get from any humans in this world. He's such a counselor, comforter and Helper!We all have just heard the saying,
                                         Prayer Brings Victory
and its so true and it itself conveys the exact message. So, Pray , pray and pray till you get an answer for your matters, however petty or great it may be!
