There's time for everything,but as humans we tend to do things in our own way. It's our nature to do what we want, when we want it and how we want it. It's common to everyone and when things go wrong we get frustrated and blame ourselves.But there's nothing we could do no matter how sorry we felt because we already did it anyway.
However there are times we try to do it religiously asking God's guidance. But even in prayers, we asked God to guide us in making major decisions in life,however we already have a pre - conceived answer to our prayers. That's why if things did not go on our way we complain to Him. Does God really answers our prayer?Yes he answers prayer but in different ways.God has three answers to our prayers. He says "Yes" if he knows that our prayer is his perfect will for us. He says "Wait" if it's good but time is still needed to prepare us for what we ask him. Lastly, he says "No" if it's really not good for us and will just do harm.
But as human being we tend to cheat Him in our prayers or sometimes we are not contented with the result. I remember two stories I heard from one of my favorite preacher.
It goes like this....
One day, a man that raises pigs had a prayer, he said, God if you will take care of my pigs I will give you half of them, the man had 10 healthy pigs. Then a pest came by and 5 of the pigs died. The man prayed and thank God, here's what he said on his prayer, God thank you because you keep my pigs from the pest I still have 5 pigs left and you already took your share, referring to the dead pigs.:-)
Here's another story
A man prayed and asked God t give him a bike, he said dear God all I want is a bike that I can use so I can go to work easily. After few days the man got a bike and he was so happy and praises God. One day he pass by his neighbors house and saw that his neighbor got a brand new car. The man became sad and asked God, why you only gave me a bike and you gave my neighbor a brand new car? God answered, you asked for a bike so I gave you a bike.Your neighbor asked for a car that's why I gave him a car.
If God gave us the things we don't need and all the things we wish for what do you think will happen?Just come to think of it, there are times we said or wish something that we really don't mean.What if God gave all of it will it do good or will it do harm?
I'm thankful He don't answer to all my wishes because if He does, oh my maybe I have put many people into something really bad unintentionally.
