YOU DON'T PRAY AND SIT PRETTY FOR THE ANSWER!!

I vividly recall that Thursday evening when I bowed my head to pray. It's not that I had not been praying on other days,but this day changed my way of praying as well as my prayer items.

I was tired of praying without getting answers. I was tired of praying for the same item over and over again.I kept wondering why my church pastor insisted on prayer,knowing well it yielded no results.I was angry with the world.

I blamed everyone for my broken heart, bruises, sickness and the love and peace that had so long died in me.I hated life,I hated you,I hated me,all because my prayers were not being a answered. I felt ignored even by God,and wondered if He really loved me like His word said.I thought of my friends and how they were doing so well in life.I should have envied them but I didn't, because I had already lost hope in me.What was the point of even admiring something I had concluded I would never posses?

Well,I suppose I speak for many of you.When things don't work out like we expect them to, we feel inferior and curl ourselves in the dark corner of our hearts and render ourselves useless.We lose hope in ourselves.Did you know that's the worst you could ever do to yourself-to believe that you can never be what you've been called here to be?


We always want things to workout exactly like we've expected them to be.If you are in college studying mass communication, you expect to find a job in the media industry, if that does not come along you would rather stay jobless than working as a cashier in your local supermarket. We fail to realise that sometimes you only need to stand wherever you are to be blessed.

From that Thursday night after attending a conference where we were taught how to deliver an affective prayer.I came to realise that you don't pray and just wait for the answer to your prayer.There is a secret. Many of those who get their prayers answered take an extra step.They work on their prayer items as they wait for the answer.

So,when I prayed for change,I changed my mind.I prayed for a miracle and realised that I have been the miracle all this while.I prayed for wealth and realised it is my health.I prayed for happiness and realised that I am not my ego.I prayed for peace and learned to accept others unconditionally.I prayed for a soulmate and realised I'm the one.I prayed for love and I realised I only needed to let it in.I have since then learned to work on my realisations and when I sit,I count my blessings. When I stand,they overflow.I hum more these days.👧

Let us learn to walk an extra mile to work hard on achieving our goals and dreams because its never too late to be what you,be wished to be.It is said that some years ask questions and others give answers.May it bind what the previous years broke in you,mend what is bruised in you,heal what is sick in you,may it revive whatever peace and love had died in you.

Next time you pray,remember the answer is already within you.You only need to realise it and ask for its approval from above.May all the rightful prayers of your heart be answered.

From me to you!
She lived!!
