the 'why GOD have not answer me' syndrome

do you happened to come across this ... "GOD how come i've been praying so much and i pray to you everyday but you never answer ? did you hear me ? " i have to confessed this has always been my issue ... and it happens off and on my walk with HIM ...

alot of times in our Christian walk - we tend to have 'why GOD have not answer me' syndrome .. and when this is not dealt with greater issues may incur - you start to spend less time with GOD, then you backslide & you lost your faith ... eventually, u r out of the picture n not sync ...

but, what have been spoken in the bible that most of us have often missed and unaware (which applies to me too =P) :

in Proverbs 3:5-6 (New International Version)

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and He will make your paths straight."

and, in Isaiah 40:31 (New Living Translation)

"But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint."


GOD has told us to TRUST IN HIM - n what HE have promised in return ? 'He will make your paths straight (we will not fall / stumble) & we will find new strength (in our faith in HIM)' ... and these are from that 2 verses and there are more in the bible that tells us about HIS promises when we trust in HIM ...

recently, someone has shared with me about Proverb 3:5-6 and then he asked me how can i be sure that GOD will fulfilled HIS promised to us and whether we will still be around to see our parents' salvation ? i told him i don't know .. but, i will continue to hold on to that promise and continue to trust in the LORD and be persistently commiting my parents' salvation in prayers ... and, to have faith in GOD - he got me to think about his questions, and, i also asked GOD and my sister .. apart from what i thought, is there anymore to it ?

there was one night (it was the Saturday night that has just passed), me and sis was praying for my parents' salvation and my bro's going back to GOD ... i saw one part of the eagle's wing - and i remembered the song 'On eagles’ wings I will soar' (familiar, huh ? hehe) and thru that i recalled it's a verse in Isaiah ... i was frantically searching my bible during sunday service to see what GOD have to say about the wing .. i found it (paiseh, the 2 sisters sitting to the right and left of me also was helping me to find that verse, u know who u r) !! the 'Trust in the LORD' caught my eyes immediately ... n the 2 verses shared similarities ... deriving to what GOD have to say on my thoughts and that is to hold on to the promise and trust in HIM ...


continue to "trust in HIM for HIM to deliver this promise to us" =)
