Please pray and ask God if He could please show me a sign that He hears our prayers if it is His will. I'm feeling very lost. I ask in the name of Jesus. Thank you and God bless you. Carmen
We have to b very careful about asking for signs from God . If u have read the Gospels then u know what Jesus says about doing that .
Over the years I have learned a few things through my prayers . Firstly , if u ask God for something , u have to b prepared to accept that God's answer to u might just b ' no ' . God doesn't have to justify or explain Himself , if the answer turns out to b ' no ' then u have to just accept that and trust in the fact that God knows better than u . Also , might wait a long time for your prayer to b answered , one way or the other . Again , God does not have to tell u why He does or doesn't do something .
U , may never know whether God has answered your prayers or not and u will just have to get over this and accept , again , that God is in charge and He knows better than u .
Finally , and this was the toughest lesson for me to learn , if u r worried or stressed about something and u ask God to intervene and sort something out for u , then u have to let it go . If u give your problem to God and ask Him to sort it out for u then , u shouldn't try to take it back off Him and sort it out yourself . U must b patient and have faith in Him , that He will grant your request if it is acceptable and right in His eyes . Imagine , u ask someone to make u a cup of coffee and they say ' yes , I will do that for u ' and then u think to yourself ' I'm not sure they will make it as I like it ' so , u get up and push them aside and make your own coffee . That's a bit simplistic but I'm sure u can get my meaning . I asked God to help someone , I asked frequently and for quite a while . I couldn't c that my prayer was being answered so I waded in there and tried to sort it myself , only to find out that God had already done something for them , it was just that I didn't know He had . So , we must recognise that God is in charge and when we give our problem or request to Him then we have to b patient and not try to jump the gun or second guess Him . We must trust Him and accept His answers and judgements .
