At times, we start to feel dishearten when our prayers are not answered directly. We start to wonder why we pray so persistently, fasted so rigorously and yet our prayers are not answered. We tend to ask why? Why? We will become immensely disordered and baffled too. If you feel the same, you should visit my christian life corner and read some of my christian writings.

Before we pray to the Lord, let us examine our lives to see if there is anything in us that are not pleasing to Him. The transgressions, iniquities or presumptuous sins that we commit in our lives may hinder our prayers from being heard and answered by the Lord. When our conscience is clean, we can come boldly to the Lord, pouring out our sorrows and wait in expectation for His blessings to pour out upon us.

When we look upon the Lord, we will never be ashamed. The one who always helped King David and who saved Daniel from the mouth of the devouring lion will also come to your assistance too, just believe and be patient! David, too, prayed: I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. (Psalms 121:1,2) The Bible assures us: Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not perturbed in the year of drought, for it does not terminate to bear fruit. (Jeremiah 17:7,8)

He has made everything unequalled in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. (Eccl. 3:11) Many a time, when we get into troubles, the first thing we do is to run after man for help, putting our trust in them instead of running to the Lord for help. Most of the time we are being deceived by them, when they tell us that they cannot be of help to us, we will feel so dejected and sad. The Bible tells us that a man is cursed if he trusts in man and departs from the Lord. Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord. (Jeremiah 17:5). Brothers and sisters, whatever your problems is, look up to the Lord and pray, seek Him earnestly in prayers, He will deliver you and protect you. Do not be discouraged!!!
