Have you ever wondered if God is listening to your prayers? Those are very practical thoughts, especially when there is a problem we pray many times but still do not receive an answer. In today's post, let's find out and discuss this issue with me.
"Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear." (Isaiah 59:1)
Be honest with yourself, have you ever wondered if God really listens to you? If you've never been so skeptical, you're a great patient person…or maybe you're still trying to deceive yourself.
Doubts visit me from time to time in my fleeting thoughts. But, our aparition are all quite similar. I know God has not abandoned me. However, I must confess that my faith was shaken a few times as I languished waiting for God's answer to my prayers.
We all have great prayers for God. In desperation, I begged and cried a lot. I clenched my fists, gritting my teeth. I prayed to God to restore my uncle's body after he had liver cancer. I decided never to let go. No problem, I will be holding my God's promise in Isaiah that He will answer me.
In the turmoil, the great crisis of my life, I decided to rely on God. My prayers have become an intense supplication.
I said to the Lord, "Lord, that's what You said in the Bible. Those are not my words. That is His word. he never lies. He is always faithful. May God heal my uncle. For all the damage to my uncle's body, just one word from him was enough. My uncle should be able to recover."
Every time I feel my faith weaken, I will anchor myself to only one thing, and that is your faithfulness. My job is to be patient and wait.
I still believe in my heart that one day, my uncle can gradually return to his previous health, and go to church to pray as usual. I expect that to happen.
Although that seems impossible now, I still believe that God's power is unlimited. The Bible records many stories that testify to the power and strength of God, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. It doesn't matter who we are, what position we are, rich or poor, or even how often we go to church, God is mighty and faithful.
In Acts 3, Peter and John meet a man with a birth defect and ask for help. Actually, this man was asking for money, but what he received was healing, he was able to get up and walk again. Those who knew his situation well when they saw him “walking and dancing, praising God” were amazed.
Peter said to them, “It was faith in his name that strengthened the man you see and know. It was His name and faith in Him that made this man perfectly healthy as you all have seen” (Acts 3:16).
Put our faith in the name of Jesus Christ. In His due time, all our prayers will be answered.
If what you are asking for is physical healing, put your full trust in God, wait patiently for Him, and meditate on God's word found in 1 Peter 2:24.
“He bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; By his wounds, you are healed” (1 Peter 2:24).
And you know what, my uncle is getting better and it seems that God is listening to my prayers.
Believe in God, He is listening to your every cry. Give Him time and He will answer the prayer you've been waiting for.
