Welcome to my article,
In this article of, does God answer our prayers, may God guide and help me to say the right things?
Dear readers, I must say that we all have doubts
during our lives; one of these doubts is about if God exists and if God answers
our prayers. I must add here that I believe in God, but my God can be different
from the God that most Christians believe in; but when we pray, does God answer
our prayers?
You see, I am praying God every day of my life; I
pray God with our Christian traditional prayers, like the sign of the cross
followed by The Lord prayer, and then other prayers; I pray God with my own
prayers that I have written, I pray God and hope that God answers my prayers by
granting my earthly request. I have written several prayers in these religious articles
and one of them is written here under; now the question is. Does God or will
God answer my prayers?
Let me explain, today we are not asking God to do
something special for us; because we are not like the Jews that wanted Yahweh
their God, to help them reclaim their Promised Land that they left when they
went to Egypt; we are not like the Muslim people that want their God Allah to
help them conquer the entire world, and while they are doing that and killing people, they also believe that when they die , they will go to paradise.
You see, we are only praying God to help us in our
daily struggle and health issues. We imagine our God to be a benevolent God
that helps anybody that prays to him. So, let me write a prayer that I pray
after the traditional prayers.
Prayer to God
With my personal concerns I come to you praying my
lord God, I am praying thee for forgiveness of my sins and reconciliation to
thy spiritual life force, I am praying in the hope that I would become worthy
to pray, and my prayer would be heard and accepted, I am praying in the hope
that you would hear my prayer for help and help me and my family overcome these
family illnesses; Father hear my prayers and help us, amen.
I have prayed God many times, but God ignores my
prayers, so, my family problems go on and they never seem to end. So, I start
thinking that it is unlikely that God answers our prayers, I cannot think of
any other excuse, and I believe that I should be worthy in God’s eyes, because
I pray and write religious issues. Okay, I do not go to church on Sundays. But
I don’t go to church on Sundays, because of this illness in my family, so, I must
stay put at home. Sometimes I think, if God wanted me to go to church on
Sunday, then God could have made it easier for me to go to church.
Dear readers, I need to be more patient and refrain
to criticize God, since it is risky to criticize God, as we know God is God and
we are supposed to accept anything from God, even if it makes us suffer,
because there can be other reasons why it is so. But I believe that if we pray
God, then we deserve to be heard and answered from God, otherwise why we pray
and believe, and accept whatever it comes to us because it is God’s will, I want
to ask our readers?
I must say that in my mind, heart and soul, there
is this understanding that goes on like this; if there is a God like a person,
then this God being our Father should listen to his own children, and so, God
should answer our prayers according to what we deserve, otherwise we will not
believe in God anymore. So, we come back to our first question; will God answer
our prayers? But let us continue to look for an answer.
Looking for an answer to our prayers.
There are days in our lives, when things go the wrong way, but nothing is more frustrating than when somebody is sick, whether it is oneself or a member of our family. When these sick family members are sick for a long time we despair, because even the doctors cannot find a way to make them well; so, the only thing that is left for us to do is turn to God and pray. So, we pray God with all the strength that is in our heart, and we believe that if we do that and have faith in God, then, God may answer our prayers. So, we pray God with great faith, hoping that God will answer our prayer and make us well again. But does God answer our prayers?
I am asking this question several time, because I want
to know, if there is anyone who has proof or feels that God answers our prayers.
You see, I don’t know any more what to believe
today, I have prayed to God for a long time for help, but God ignores my
prayers. Not only I have prayed God many times every day of my life, but I have
also written many blogs and Hubs about religions, I have done this in the hope
that it may help religions to survive in the future, so, I feel that whatever I
write in these religious writings, it is like praying God all the time; but God
does not take any notice of that either. Perhaps God has more important things
on his mind, because people believe and do different things all the time, like
the following issues that go around today.
So, let us see what is happening in the world, that
can keep God busy and forget about my personal prayers. You know, some people
believe about the end of the world, as it is written at the end of the Bible;
so, there is going to be the end of the world soon; this time we even have a
date; the end of the world will be the 21st of December 2012 as they
have forecast? Is this event going to happen? We do not know. Perhaps it is a
bit like asking, if God answers our prayers.
So, I am going to say here what my heart and soul
tells me, I believe that there is no end of the world on the 21st
December 2012, it cannot be I don’t see even the signs that other people claim
to see, the only thing I see is that religions need to be modified and that is
not the end of the world. You see, if religions are modified then it marks the
end of some religious beliefs and the beginning of something else, so that, we
can say that a new system has arrived and the old system has ended, that is the
only end that I can see today. Anyhow, today while I am editing this article
the 21st December 2012 has past and nothing has happened, so, the
world has not ended. Thanks God it was a false alarm.
Prayers and observations.
While I am writing this article, I pray God about
my personal problems, I pray God with great faith, hoping that my prayers will
be answered, so, I pray God thus:
My Lord God,
Almighty merciful Father, I pray you with all my heart, my soul and my mind,
hoping that in your mercy, you would forgive me all my life sins and make me
clean of any impurities that may affect my soul, so that, I am spiritually
clean and worthy to pray and my prayer would be heard and answered. Today I am
praying because there is sickness in my family, and this worries me and my
family, therefore, I am praying with all my heart, my soul and my mind, hoping
that in your mercy, you hear my prayer and help me, amen.
Now, this is not the only prayer that I pray to
God, because I pray many other prayers, in the hope that God hears my prayers
and help us. But even though I have prayed God many times, God does not answer
my prayers; but I continue to pray God. So, even when God does not answer our prayers,
we still pray God. It is like having to do the last possible thing that could
help to solve our problems, and thus we continue praying.
Praying God for an answer.
Now, as I have said, I have been praying God for an
answer to my personal prayers, for this same reason I have been writing religious
articles with many prayers written in them, then I am writing the theory of
Reconciliation of the Universe, because they are my personal prayer to God Most
High, in the hope that God hears my prayers and answers my personal requests.
But I have to say that up to today God has not answered my prayers, the way I
wish God would answer.
So, this family sickness worries me; I am afraid
that can become worse, and for this reason I am praying, and I will continue to
pray, because at least I feel that I have done something that could help. You
see, I need at least some hope, and God is hope for those that need hope most;
so, I continue to pray God, and therefore, I am asking myself:
Am I not worthy to be heard from God about what I
need?
What is God waiting for, to answer my request?
Is it not enough the religious writings I have
written and all the prayers that I've prayed?
To prove to you that I have written in Hub Pages many religious articles, which should be counted as my prayers to God, I am going to make a shortened list of these articles including the link, http://menfranco-re.blogspot.com/,
I believe that these religious writings should be
counted as prayers to God Most High. Anyhow, even if God does not answer my
prayers, I will still pray God in the hope that one-day God will answer my
prayers and grant my earthly requests.
All this is because, man needs God and because, God is hope for those who need hope most and for this reason we pray, even knowing that God may not answer our prayers.
I hope you have had time to read some of our articles,
so that you can see what we mean. Anyhow, I will continue to Pray and write my
religious articles, even knowing that God might not answer my prayers. Because
God is hope for does that need hope most.
BUT, WILL GOD ANWER OUR PRAYER? WE DON’T KNOW.
Dear readers, we are continuing to write more
religious discussion, then we will write part three, Reconciliation of the
universe. See you soon, in next article,

May God bless us all.
