The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.(James 5:16b)
When I was early 17, I have ever thought what would my life would be? Would I be success?... or become the loser one? It really haunted me at that time. Still, I just do my routine life and keep it personally in my mind.
Few months after that, incidentally I participated a drawing contest in the church as my friend ask me to accompany her in joining the contest. Actually, I was wondering, as I am not good in drawing. I made a picture just for fun then submit it to the committee.
At the Winner Announcement Day, I come to the church..I was stunned. There are 2 big present basket at the church door.
One of them is having the cutest desk clock I have ever seen. It is black and white with simple-elegant design. I love it at the first sight. ^_^
I realized I could not win as my drawing is not as good as others. Thinking in realistic, I asked the committee where they bought the clock? They refused to anwer it, my heart become a little dissapointed. At the end of my dissapointment, I pray to the Lord: "Lord, I want the clock so much..please show me the way to have one. Thank you, Lord".
The announcement began..I am sitting in the church and still thinking about the clock. Suddenly I thought somebody called my name from the stage..."Hanny, you are the runner up winner, would you come forward to the stage"..
Confusedly, I come to the stage..the committee gave me money gift...and look! UNBELIEVABLE...he was giving me the basket with CUTE DESK CLOCK in it..
I am stunned for the 2nd time, in fact it is the Lord gift for me, the clock was in the runner up gift basket!..Lord is not only show the way, but He gave it to me in His way..It is my sweet 17th gift present from Lord. I still remember that I received many gifts in the basket, but the most impressive one in my heart is the desk clock as Lord has given me.
Hmmph, you know what? Years have passed by, but the clock is standing in my table till now...^_^
Well, my pray is listened by the Lord. Since then, I still have many..many prays everyday..Many prays have been answered. Sometimes the answer is quick, sometimes it needs years to be answered. But I still bring everything in faith that the good will happened.
You know, in several cases I wonder cause I found the results are exceeding my expectations. He changed my tears into laughter. I am thankful to Lord for everything He has done in my life. Well, I am not saying that I have no trouble, but everytime I have trouble, I just pray and believe..
Christian life is a prayer life, pray in every actions, in every plan..Christianity should believe that pray can solve every case dan change everything, even in the most oppressed situation.
So, how can we have a powerful pray and change your life now?
1. Simple
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words (Matthew 6:7)
Just do your pray in the simple way..Tell Lord that you are grateful for everything that He did in your life. Ask Him what you need. believe that everything happened is good.
2. Asking in Faith
Pray without never seen one or haven't seen one, just believe. Christians believe that Lord promise is "Yes and Amen". Lord will answer every single pray in His time (remember: not our time)
3. Living in Repent and Foreswear
The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.(James 5:16b)
Means that christian should live in Lord's way..Praying with sincere heart, living in Lord's way will straightened your pray to the Lord.
Summary: Christian life is about praying life. be grateful in everything happened in life..a prayer is powerful if you ask it in faith, ask it in simple way, and living in the holy way
