Does God answer our prayers?
Welcome
to my hub (25), Does God answers our prayers?
Does God answer our prayers?
May
God guide and help me to say the right things in these religious articles?
Dear
readers, even though I have been writing many religious article in Hub Pages
and also in other public sites, I have to say that sometimes we all have our
doubts during our lives; one of these doubts is about the existence of God,
another one is about if God answers our prayers. I have to add here that I
believe in God, even if the God I believe in could be a bit different from the
God that most of us Christians believe in, now next question is, does God
answer our prayers, when we pray?
You
see, I am praying God: I am praying God every day of my life, I pray God with
our Christian traditional prayers, like the sign of the cross followed by The
Lord prayer, and then other prayers; I pray God also with my own prayers that I
have written, I pray God and hope that God hears my prayer and answers my
prayer by granting my earthly request, which I have asked during my prayer. I
have written several prayers in these religious writings and one of them is
written here under; now the question is. Does God or will God answer my
prayers?
Let
me explain how I see the situation here, today we are not asking God to do
something out of the ordinary, as we are not like the Jews that wanted Yahweh
their God to help them, so that they could reclaim their Promised Land that
they had left when they went to Egypt; and for the same reason, we are not like
the Muslim people that want their God Allah to help them conquer the entire
world; as we can see in the news every day recently. You see, we are only
praying God to help us in our daily struggle and health issues. You see we
imagine our God to be a benevolent God that would help anybody that turns to
him and prays; so all we need for that is a benevolent God and we pray to this
benevolent God. So let me write a prayer that I would pray after the
traditional prayers that everybody usually prays.
Praying
God
With
my personal concerns I come to you praying my lord God, I am praying thee for
forgiveness of my sins and reconciliation to thy spiritual eternal benevolent
life force, I am praying in the hope that I would become worthy to pray to you
and my prayer would be heard and accepted, I am praying in the hope that you
would hear my prayer for help and help me and my family overcome these family
illnesses that never seem to end; Father, hear my prayers and help us, amen.
I
have prayed God, so many times already, but God seems to ignore my prayers and
my family problem go on and on, and they never seem to end. So, I start
thinking that it is very unlikely that God answers our prayers, I cannot think
of any other excuse and I have reasons to believe that I should be worthy in
God’s eyes, because I pray and even write religious issues the best way I can.
Okay there might be an issue because I do not go to church on Sundays, as most
people do and believe they should. But I don’t go to church on Sundays, because
I am not able to go, because of this illness in my family, so I have to stay
put at home. Sometimes I think, if God wanted me to go to church on Sunday,
then God should have made it easier for me to go to church, I cannot think of
any other excuse.
Dear
readers, in my case, perhaps I need to be more patient and refrain to criticize
God, since it seems risky to criticize God, as we all know God is God and we
are supposed to accept anything at all from God even if it makes us suffer,
because there might be other reasons why it is so. But I believe that if we
pray God, then we should deserve to be heard and answered from God, otherwise
why should we always pray and believe, and then accept whatever it comes to us
and believe that it is God’s will, here I would like to ask our readers?
I
have to say that in my mind, heart and soul there is this understanding that
goes on like this; if there is really a God like a person as we have been
taught to believe in, then this God being our Father should listen to his own
children, and so, God should hear and answer our prayers according to what we
deserve, otherwise soon or later we will not believe in God anymore. So, we
come back to our first question; will God answer our prayers? This is what we
will most times wonder, but let us continue to look for an answer.
Looking
for an answer to our prayers
There
are days in our lives, when lots of things go the wrong way, but nothing is
more frustrating than when somebody is sick, whether it is oneself or a member
of our family. When these sick family members are really sick for a long time
and we start to despair, because even to doctors don’t seem to find a way to
make them well, then, the only thing that is left for us to do is turn to God
and pray. So, we pray God with all the strength that is in our heart, and we
believe that if we do that and have faith in God, then, God may indeed answer
our prayers. This is what we usually do, we pray God with great faith and hope
that God will answer our prayer, one way or another.
So,
when we need help from God, we pray God with faith, but, will God answer our prayers,
or does God answer our prayers? Yes, that is my question, does God answer our
prayers? Yes, you have read it right the first time and I will repeat it here
again just to make sure that you understand what I mean, does God answer our
prayers?
I
am asking this question several time, because I would like to know if there is
anyone at all, who may have proof or at least really feels that God answers our
prayers in any possible way, if there is anybody let him speak out, since I
would like to know what other people think.
You
see, I don’t know any more what to believe today, I have prayed to God for a
long time for help, but God seems to ignore my prayers completely. Not only I
have prayed God many times every day of my life lately, but I have also written
many blogs and Hubs about religions, in the hope that by explaining religions
as it is in my heart, which might happen to be a bit different from the main
religious stream in different ways, I have done this in the hope that it may
help religions to survive in the future, so, I feel that whatever I write in
these religious writings, it is like praying God all the time; but God does not
seem to take any notice of that either. Perhaps God has more important things
on his mind, because people believe and do different things all the time, like
the following issues that go around today.
So,
let us see what is happening today in the world, that would keep God busy and
forget about my personal prayers, because some people believe about the end of
the world, perhaps as it is written at the end of the Bible, or in some
different ways. This brink more questions to my mind; as we have heard many
times before and even today that there is going to be the end of the world
soon; this time we even have a date, so, I ask you this: Do you believe that it
could really happen this time and the end of the world will be the 21st
of December 2012 as forecast? Is this event really going to happen? What is
your answer to what I have just asked? My guess is that we just don’t know. Perhaps
it is a bit like asking, if God answers our prayers.
So,
I am going to say here what my heart and soul tells me, I believe that there is
no end of the world on the 21st December 2012, it cannot be I don’t
see even the signs that other people claim to see, the only thing I see is that
religions need to be modified and that is not the end of the world ether; you
see, if religions are modified then it marks the end of some religious things
and therefore the beginning of something else, so that we can say one day that
a new system has arrived and the old system has ended, that is the only end
that I can see today. Anyhow today while I am editing this article the 21st
December 2012 has past and nothing has happened, so the world has not ended.
Thanks God it was a false alarm.
Prayers
and observation
While
I am writing this hub, I often pray God about my personal problems, I pray God
with great faith, hoping that my prayers will be answered, and so, I pray God
thus:
My Lord God, Almighty and merciful Father,
I pray you with all my heart, my soul and my mind, hoping that in your mercy,
you would forgive me all my life sins and make me clean of any impurities that
may affect my soul, so that, I would become spiritually clean and worthy to
pray and my prayer could be heard and answered. Today I am praying because
there is sickness in my family, and this sickness worries me and the rest of my
family, therefore, I am praying here with all my heart, my soul and my mind, hoping
that in your mercy, you would hear my prayer and help me.
Now,
this is not the only prayer that I pray to God, because I pray many other
prayers, in the hope that God would hear my prayers and help us.
But,
even though I have prayed God many times and with many prayers, God does not
seem to answer my prayers; but I still continue to pray God. So, even when God
does not answer our prayer we still pray God. It is like having to do the last
possible thing that could help to solve our problems that we have, and thus we
continue to pray.
Praying God for
an answer
Now
let me go back to what I was saying, as I have said I have been praying God for
an answer to my personal prayers, for this reason I have been also writing my
theory of Reconciliation of the Universe, which I am also calling Prayers for
Reconciliation, not only because there are many prayers written in it, but also
because it is my personal prayer to God Most High, in the hope that God hears
my prayers and answers my personal requests in a positive way. But I have to
say that up to today God has not answered my prayers, and there is sickness in
my family that worries me; this sickness or illness sometimes I am afraid that
is becoming worse, and for this reason I am praying again and I will continue
to pray, because at least I feel that I have done something that could help.
You see, I need at least some hope, and as you know God is hope for those that
need hope most; so, I continue to pray God, and therefore I ask:
I
ask you this when will God answer my prayer?
Am
I not worthy to be heard from God about what I need?
What
is God waiting for, to answer my request?
Is
it not enough the religious writings I have written and all the prayers that
I've prayed?
To
prove to you my dear readers that I have wrtten already in Hub Pages many
religious hubs, which I believe that they should be counted also as prayers to
God, I am going to make a shortened list of these hubs hereunder including the
links for you to check them out, so that you can judge me if you will,
according to what I have written, of course there are also my religious posts
in Blogger: http://manneedsgod.blogspot.com,
And
also I am publishing this, http://manneedsgod.co.uk
I
believe that all these religious writings should be counted as prayers to God
Most-High. Anyhow even if God does not seem to answer my prayer, I will still
pray God in the hope that one-day God will answer my prayers and grant my
earthly requests.
All
this is because, man needs God and because, God is hope for those who need hope
most and for this reason we pray, even knowing that God may not answer our
prayers.

List of religious hubs in Hub Pages
Here
are two of my links about God works in mysterious ways in Hub Pages, since some
of my readers and commenter pointed it out to me this:
Here
are some hub links of my theory of, Reconciliation of the Universe including
the heavenly messenger encounter:
Dear
readers, I hope you have had time to read some of our Hubs, so that you could
see what we mean and comment on them, or at least comment on our first
question; Will God answer our prayer? Anyhow, I will continue to Pray and write
my religious articles, even knowing that God might not answer my prayers.
Because God is hope for does that need hope most.
Anyhow,
with this hub we conclude part one of, Prayers for reconciliation, we will
start part 2 right away and we might call it Prayers and discussions, just to
give it a different name, of course part three will be called, Reconciliation
of the universe. See you soon on part 2.
May
God bless us all?
