It's just that man never know how to relate to Him that's why they are not sure whether their prayers are heard or not. God not only hears our prayers but He plans each and every life here on earth. But alas, man uses his own time in frivolous things that's why his life is dissipated without any significant changes in his life.

Thanks for your com...Hi Noushy,<BR/>TO GOD BE THE GLORY. Thanks for your compliments. You can be sure that your lovelife will blossom and bear fruit because you are taking care of it. In everything, be sensitive to the needs of your loved one. Behind the success of every man is the strength of the woman behind. Be content to give him the place of honor always by being at his side, never outshining nor upstaging him in any circumstance. But be sure you get what you want from your relationship. Love is a two way process. It's always a give and take affair. Love will never fail if you nurture it and let it grow. Thanks for your visit.

It will still take a long time before we can settle in the United States since the status of my wife there is still unclear. I'm placing everything under the grace and mercy of God. Wherever he wants us, there we will be. I hope you are fine and will start blogging very soon. Just blog things about yourself and what you feel. That will come out naturally. Forget about what others want. People are fickle minded. You'll never go anywhere in blogging if you cater to the whims and caprices of your readers. Just be yourself and people will like you more for it.

Prayer can never be from the heart because God sees our hearts but wants us to pray to Him and acknowledge Him in everything that we do. Praying is a form of acknowledgment of our total dependence on God. It is when we stop praying and starts doing everything by our own selves will there be danger of us relying more on our own resources and strength. <BR/>Then we make ourselves our own demigod. Pray always my dear friend. It pays to have a closer relationship with God through prayers. Thanks for your usual and inspired comments.

How else can you attain those blessings if your relationship with God is not right. But be careful because so much blessings can turn our gaze away from God and into the blessings themselves. Let us just be always aware where those blessings come from and always be thankful for them. You are blessed by God and you were created for a very special purpose. Continue to grow and spread your wings my dear friend. There's still so much you will accomplish in this life time.

But take this event in your life as some sort of reminder from the Lord. Life is more than the things that makes us happy and content. It's about seeking God in everything we do.

I remember that you had so many wonderful affirmations at the beginning of New Year. Affirmations are good because they pass through our subconscious mind and we are tremendously benefited by them. I used them so much before when I have not yet given my life to Christ. But they are just useless words with no intrinsic values in them except to serve as door openers to our subconscious minds and get the benefit that they contain. But in the long run, our conscious mind get used to it and it loses whatever value it had before. Better to use the words of God contained in the Bible because they have the power of God in them.<BR/>You were placed there by God to strengthen your faith and rely only on Him and His divine purpose for your life. If you are a Catholic, your relationship with Christ is not that strong yet because you have not yet been born again. Born again is not about religion. It is relationship with Christ. You can be born again and still remain a Catholic if you want. Remember, the Bible said, "Unless a man is born again in water and in Spirit, he cannot not enter the Kingdom of God." (John 3:5) Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior and things will definitely change in your life. You are bewildered because the Holy Spirit is not yet in you. When you are born again and you are endowed with the Holy Spirit, you will understand each and every word that I am saying. Thanks for your visit. God bless and have a wonderful and pleasant time in your work place.Mel Avila Alarillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166954063114607598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054594798489525410.post-26585985177224721582008-01-12T12:58:00.000-08:002008-01-12T12:58:00.000-08:00Hi Heiresschild,Thanks for your visit and your ver...Hi Heiresschild,<BR/>Thanks for your visit and your very inspiring comments. God wants us to always pray to Him as a little child always communicate with his parents. You know how little kids are. They pester their parents with all sorts of inane questions that sometimes it drives their parents to the wall. But that's the kind of relationship God wants with us. He wants us to be totally dependent on Him in everything. It is when we become so successful and think of ourselves as a self made man that God becomes farthest from our mind.<BR/>May we never ever tire talking to God in everything we do. That's what He wants from us. Did He not say that we have to be like little children for us to enter the kingdom of God? Thank you so much my spiritual friend. God bless and have a most wonderful and blessed day in the US.Mel Avila Alarillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166954063114607598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5054594798489525410.post-88160878194489567882008-01-12T09:35:00.000-08:002008-01-12T09:35:00.000-08:00Hmmm...I feel kind of guilty having read this post...Hmmm...I feel kind of guilty having read this post;though I am quite spiritual I do not pray enough as my religion requires one too.Still,I believe a silent and earnest prayer from the heart can do miracles.God almost always does grant prayers when one prays with true devotion and faith.<BR/><BR/>Hope you doing well my friend.Take care.God Bless.Sameera Ansarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05249126041067834608noreply@blogger.com
