It is unfortunate that we often wait
to say some ‘complicated’ or long-winded prayers thinking that GOD will only
hear us then. It is also sad that we wait to receive answers to our prayers
after a long time yet GOD will often answer immediately! If we simplify our
prayers, GOD will also simplify His response. In other words, when we speak to
Him using simple methods He will also respond in kind using simple methods!
Yesterday, in order to inspire a Muslim
woman who is paralyzed from the waist down and is now bed ridden I decided to
send her another set (twelve) of my poems. However, the internet connection was
very slow and just as I was about to lose my peace about it I said a
‘halfhearted’ prayer asking GOD to bridge the gap between the uploading circle.
Okay, in case I confused you, what I refer to as the ‘uploading circle’ is that
circle that appears on a file while you are uploading or downloading it. My
apologies to the computer wizards for lack of proper jargon.
Now, I went ahead and took care of
other things only to return and find that almost all of the poems had already
been uploaded! You see, I had said a halfhearted prayer in a very
uncomplicated way and then took my attention off the problem! I even thanked
GOD for bridging the gap between the two ends of the circle before I saw any
results!
Psalm 69:30-31
“I will
praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. This
also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and
hoofs.”
Therefore, today, I want to encourage
you to say what you would consider a simple prayer, take your eyes off your
circumstance, thank GOD for answering your prayer, and then take care of other
things. I also would like to encourage you that what you considered a
halfhearted prayer was heard by GOD and your answer is you are about to
receive your answer!
GOD BLESS YOU.
