Wonder of Answered Prayer
I have a burning question for readers today.
Why do we deny answered prayer?
I have heard people attempt to explain away, in a scientific manor, the manifestation of a miracle or even a minor answered prayer.
Examples of some explanations I have heard:
“The Red Sea is not very deep, and the wind blew really hard and you could actually walk across at that point and when the Egyptians got there the wind stopped blowing.”
“The cancer is gone, but I don’t know why. I guess the doctors got lucky.”
“I lost weight because of a diet.”
Most significant things and a multitude of insignificant things in my life have happened because I called on the power of the living God, I Am that I Am, and humbly ask for what I needed.
Not all prayers were answered in the way I thought they would be, or the way I expected. They are also answered in God’s time.
Maybe we forgot that we asked God for assistance. Maybe we are afraid to give God the credit. Maybe people will think we are delusional. Maybe it would change all the things we think we know about God, or science, or anything else. If God exists does gravity stop working? Science and God are not mutually exclusive. What if you could have them both?
Maybe we don’t look for answered prayers. Sometime we get so caught up in the crazy, busy day to day we don’t see any miracles large or small.
Holy and powerful God, help me to be present in the moment today. Let me see the wonder of answered prayers. Let me understand the nature of our relationship through prayer. Know Father that I rejoice in you and I am grateful for the answered prayers and miracles. Thank you for being my God and being available to me. Amen
