God.... Still.... Listens....

Do you ever feel God doesn't hear your prayers? 
            In recent times my faith was tested, but somewhere deep in my heart I knew, God was listening, although my patience was wearing thin. Then I heard a song called 'You've always been' by the band Unspoken. As I was listening to that song, I heard the lines 'problems big as planets turn to pebbles when you speak'. It was a very innovative line in comparison to the cliche line 'God moves mountains' and so I thought about it and ended up believing it. The more I believed it the sooner God actually proved it to be true.

                      
              For a long while I've been anxious about what the future would hold. But when God started answering my prayers all my worries didn't run away as I hoped it would. But with every tiny thing happening around me I knew God was solving my huge puzzle, one piece at a time.

How do I know for sure God still listens?                                                                                                              Well for one I've learnt that God doesn't do magic, nothing happens in a snap of my fingers, everything takes time. Every problem takes time to get solved. Why? That's because God wants us to learn something new about Him and see His hand working through it, even in the darkest moments.                            You may wonder why He can't just talk directly to us like a normal human being, well the answer for that is there's nothing normal about God. He wants us to see His majesty and splendor, displayed through our normal lives.                                                                                                                                          The God who created the universe, knows your name, and has heard your cries. He will answer in His time, and when He does we can stand in awe because his blessings overflow beyond measure.

P.S- All I've written is true, and only recently did I truly understand what God can do if we surrender everything to Him. Write your experience of how God answered your prayer in the comments below and be a witness for Christ.

Waiting on the Lord: From Restlessness to Rest

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait  on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not be faint."           Patience is a great virtue, but it has never been my cup of tea. I have always struggled to sit still or remain idle, which made it especially difficult for me to truly surrender everything into God’s control. Yet, when faced with important life choices and uncertainty about how to move forward, I realized that the Lord, who created heaven and earth, is a far better planner than I could ever be. He knows each of my days before even one comes to pass, so why not entrust my life into His capable hands?           With this realization, I decided to wait for His direction, understanding that His ways are higher than mine and that He leads us through experiences that always result in growth and learning. Waiting on the Lord, I discover...

Change Our World!

The great big Earth, Is too huge to  fathom , And its inhabitants so varied to  comprehend  . 'Change the world' is the slogan, And each blamed the world, For not changing around them. To change the world, We must first initiate it, A tiny gesture amongst our own loved ones. The whole world may be too hard, But changing how each person treats the next person, Can positively impact the world at large. Making the world a better place has been the vision for centuries. But everything happening around us discourages us to believe that something like that so phenomenal can happen to heal our broken world.

Syncing News and Prayer

     It has been nearly four years since I last picked up a newspaper, but in the past month, I decided to take up the habit once again. This return reminded me of the reasons I had initially given it up: the hurt, the hypocrisy, and the overwhelming deluge of information that often felt more like "infotainment" than actual news. Some days, the pain and suffering depicted in the articles were so overwhelming that I struggled to finish reading. I worried that I would become desensitized, reducing extraordinary tragedies to mere phrases like "it's normal" or "that's life." In moments of despair, I turned to Psalm 55:22, which says, "Cast your burden on the Lord..." and I endeavored to do just that. A Divine Perspective      The Lord is always faithful, and He gently reminded me that each article in the newspaper represents real people—individuals for whom Jesus Christ, our Savior, sacrificed His life on the cross. Each person, whether a vic...
