Prayer
God always answers prayer.
Whenever I request God for something, He always accepts or gives something better or both.
In Primary 6 I didnt really do that well. I was in one of the bottom classes. Getting into ACS(Independent) was very difficult for me. Again, I prayed and asked for His strength to guide me and I eventually got 239. Just enough to hit the 235 cut off.
During my C division shooting competitions, I asked God for help and I managed to shoot quite decently. I was even the individual 2nd in zone and received silver for both the zone and national championships.
When I was short of companions for my Chief Commissioner Award hike due to two of them falling sick, I asked God for help and eventually I got two more companions, one on the day before and one on the morning of the hike itself.
For my mid year, I got 29 points for L1R5. That was very bad. I prayed for wisdom and better grades and eventually I got 16 points for prelims. Moderated to 11 points and net score-ed to 9 points. Thats almost an 18-20 point improvement! Wow!
I've also dreamed of going to the IB programme. I've always had doubts of not being able to get into the programme but I prayed to God and eventually I got registered into IB for the PAE.
Is this merely luck? Or is it divine intervention? The probability of even one occuring is really slim. The probability of all those events occuring is near impossible. Yet they happened.
I do believe that there is some higher authority up there. Yes that's God, our Heavenly Father. I believe He answers prayer. That is almost guarenteed.
Now as I ask God if I can remain in IB for the JAE, I believe that everything will turn out alright. All of you will see how gracious our Lord can be. He is afterall our Shepherd and will provide for us.
"Ask and you will receive"
All one needs is to have faith in Him.
I got a good explanation of how God answers prayer from a movie called Evan Almighty. Yes it's a movie but there's a lot we can learn from this scene -
"When you ask God for something, say patience, does He give you patience? Or does He give you an opportunity to be patient?"
Think along that line and all you have to do is have faith in Him for He knows what's best for us.
