6/9/2011 God’s Promise- during the time of need
God promises to respond to the prayers of his people in times of need.When we are facing a particular need or problem in our life, our mind is almost blocked or else we resort to other means to solve it. As a Christian when we turn to our Father, Sometimes we do not know ,where to begin or even how to ask God for help. Our prayers are not answered the way we want. When you ask God for something, You can't understand why God didn't answer the way you wanted it .
Prayer is the most exciting and the most waiting experience for everyone. When God answers your prayer, it's a feeling of excitement. “Then our mouth was filled with laughter, And our tongue with singing……The LORD has done great things for us, And we are glad.”(Psalm 126:1-3) That is the experience of getting a reward from God, something like dreaming, and far above our expectations .A miracle might have happened, and that God did it just for one reason: because he loves you. “Because he loves me, says the LORD, I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”(Psalm 91:14-16 )
A prayer should be packed with confidence in God’s promises, may be as humans our needs are variant, as similar to the problems. Choose the right route- that is “GOD IS THE ANSWER.” This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.”(1 John 5:14) “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24) “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.(Mathew 18:19 ) We have to approach him, not only with our needs and concerns, but with prayers of praise filled with joy and thanksgiving. “Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High, and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” (Psalm 50:14-15) “God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling.(Psalm 46:1-3).
God promises to hear the prayers of those who are really feeling regretful and remorse.You know God scans the heart of a person and knows the contents of it . Certain evil things are hidden in the corners of the heart is abomination to God. God hates pride and arrogance. Repent and humble yourself before HIS feet. “….if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14).
- Gives thank for all that you do have. Give thanks for all answered prayers.
- Once you are filled with gratitude, present your requests and your needs.
- Open your heart and mind .What God wants for you is always greater than what you want for yourself.
- Give thanks for all that God is already doing .
- Stay in the spirit of thanksgiving as it will leave you in peace.

TO BE HAPPY IN JESUS, BUT TO TRUST AND OBEY.
