Keep your eyes open, and see how God answers your prayers.
Looking back a few days ago, I have realized how active my God is in answering my prayers. This may seem so shallow, but I really praise Him for what I have expereinced from Him. He is faithful and there's no doubt about it.
One night, after our daily evangelism in CLSU, we (Ronnie, Samuel, ate Marife) have gathered to share something about or encounters and experiences with the people whom we have shared the Gospel to. Then, we had our prayer chain (where we take turns in saying a prayer as the Holy Spirit leads), declaring that the Lord will protect the seeds planted to the hearts of those souls.
When it came to my turn as the last one to pray, the Spirit led me to pray for specific needs for our ministry -- provision of Gospel tracts, Bibles and Bible study contacts. My faith was challenged after declaring that this prayer will be answered with a YES the following week.
Today, I have remembered that prayer. Last Friday afternoon, my Bible study leader gave me 14 Gideon's New Testament. Then last Thursday 4 new members were added in our Cell Group (Bible Study Group). And finally, last Wednesday I received a text message from the head of the Evangelism team of the ministry:
Are these just coincidences? Absolutely not. But these are proofs that the God I serve is living and active, just as His Word is.
I don't know if this story sounds so interesting for you. My purpose in writing this is to remind all those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ that there is an assurance of answered prayers. God cannot be contained in a box. We cannot limit His greatness and ability to answer every prayer that we have. If He is faithful in answering these small prayers, I strongly believe that He is also able to answer even the most impossible prayer you have. He never forgets every prayer you make -- including the brand, the quantity, the date and even the most complicated description you prayed for. He honors every detail of your prayers. He may not give it to you the way you want it to be, but one thing is for sure: When He gives it to you, it is at its best.
