Prayers


What does it mean when we ask God to answer our prayers?
Do we realise that no is an answer?
Or do we think that since God is omnipotent he should be able to accomplish anything and by that definition any of our whims and fancies such that we will be able to receive and achieve anything that our heart may even begin to desire?
God is not a genie. He is far more powerful, so treat him with respect.
Just as you would not buy ice cream for your kid every day if he asks, because that’s not right, and not beneficial, God does only the things which are beneficial for us. Thus, whatever is God’s answer, take it with faith that greater things are yet to come.
And when we pray, pray that God’s will will be done, rather than our whims and fancies.
Amen.
