Faithful prayers...
hello hello...well this blog is intented to be typed out on tuesday but hehe.. was too busy to do it. Anyway.. wanna share what happen to me on tuesday.. Phoebe and I wanted to eat western food on tuesday after lecture.. but the stall has not been open for a few days and yah i was telling her, sure don't have one la.. than Phoebe said.. we pray la.. Well at that moment i thought.. "so silly.. how can.. pray now and it'll open meh?" so i told phoebe to stop being funny.. hehe.. When we reach the canteen.. guess what?? The stall is open!! haha.. well that's not what i exactly want to share.. there's a second part of the sharing..
That very night i was doing my quiet time and yah.. i was reading this prayer book and in this book there was a story... it goes like that..
There was once a missionary doctor that was serving in south Africa as a doctor.. One eveing he was helping this lady deliver a baby.. and unfortunately the mother died and left them with a premature baby and a 2 yr old daughter. Well.. in africa there's no incubator for the premature baby and the only way to keep the baby warm is to use hot water bottle.. but that night.. even the last hot water bottle broke and the doctor was devastated.. There's nothing they can do but to jus keep the baby near the fire place at night. He need a hot water bottle.. The next day, the doctor went for a prayer meeting and he was sharing with the ppl abt wat happen. A small little gal came up to him and started praying..
" Dear God, Please provide a hot water bottle for the baby and please provide it this afternoon cos if you provide it tomorrow, the baby will die. And also to let the girl know that you love her,please send a baby doll."
The doctor at that point of time was contemplating whether to say Amen or not. But he did. He was thinking to himself that the only chance to get these things is when his hometown send a parcel to him and the last time he recieve one is 4 yrs ago. That afternoon.. He went back home and saw a big parcel lying near his car. He opened it up and ramage thru the parcel.. he found jerseys and many other things, but suddenly he found a hot water bottle.. The small little gal who said the prayer that morning happen to be there and run excitedly towards him and said," If God can provide the hot water bottle.. he will provide the baby doll too." and sure enough they found a doll....
The book went on to say that God knows our prayer and he will prepare it before hand. So when we pray... let's pray with faith that God will answer it.. But let's bear in mind that God has many ways of answering a prayer.. He can say yes, no or wait.....
