Right after graduation in college, I remember I prayed the most
important prayer of the decade. I was 19 years old then.
I asked, “Lord, please give me a girlfriend now. I have been focused on
studying for the past years, following my parents’ advice. I believe I deserve
a girlfriend who’s beautiful, kind and will love me unconditionally. I really
need a girlfriend now, Lord.”
So I started to browse my list of the people I met that I have a crush
on.
I started to date a nurse, a former miss university, a freshman student,
and countless more I can’t remember. (Fine! One more only.)
But it didn’t turn out the way I prayed and the way I planned.
I couldn’t find the qualities I was looking for.
Until this “one more” came into my life. I thought she was the one. She
is beautiful and kind. So I kept on praying and claiming to God, “Lord, thank
you for answering my prayer, for my future girlfriend.”
I was happy that finally my dream is in my hands now.
But I was wrong.
I asked the Lord, “Why? I thought You want the best for me? She is the
best person for me that I’ve come to know so far. I’m now turning 23 Lord.
Kindly reconsider? She is really the answer to my prayer.”
GOD’S VERSION
Sometimes, in our immaturity, we insist our own version of a miracle, our
own details, and our own specifics.
And it’s very important to pray with specifics. You need to pray with
details. But you don’t insist on them. You only insist on one thing, that God
give you the best version of your miracle. And sometimes that best version will
not come right away.
Sometimes God’s time is not our time. And God’s way of blessing is not
the way that we thought.
ANSWERED PRAYER
After 4 years of praying, looking and searching, just a few days after
my 23rd birthday, my dream came true. I have found a girlfriend
who’s beautiful, kind and loves me unconditionally. But most of all, she loves
Jesus more than I do. And that’s very important for me.
RECEIVE THE VERY BEST MIRACLE
Some of you were praying for something for sometime now and it is as
though God is not hearing you. It is as though God is not minding your prayer.
I want you to never give up. Don’t give up the dream that God has planted in
your heart.
If you’re praying for something right now and you feel so discouraged,
I’ve got some encouragement for you. Maybe you’re praying for the wrong version
of the dream that He has placed in your heart. The right version is coming but
you’ve got to trust in God.
The rain of God for your life will come. Be ready for His surprise.
Receive the very best miracle that you need.
Your friend,
Kevin
