Does God hear all our prayers?

Okay. Let us go to reality. I am a Christian and I am proud about it. I just want you to dip into what I have discovered few steps back in time.

Two months ago, I was thinking about a bible verse to share with my high school friends. I kept on thinking. Then, I searched from my bible. What I found was this:

The Lord hasn't lost his powerful strength; he can still hear and answer prayers. Your sins are the roadblock between you and your God. That's why he doesn't answer your prayers or let you see his face. Isaiah 59: 1-2 CEV

So, definitely, not all prayers are heard. As long as we commit sin, still He doesn't hear our appeals. Unless we ask for forgiveness, that's the only time He will hear our prayers. Yes, not just to ask for forgiveness but to have a sincerest apology. He is a forgiving God.

Maybe, some may ask me, "ask for forgiveness for what?" Let us go again to reality. I am a sinner. You are a sinner. We are all sinners. That's what you'll gonna apologize to Him.

Now, this thing may seem senseless to you. But, there will come a time that you'll encounter again Isaiah 59:1-2 in your life.

Have a blessed life everyone!

The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.

-Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

How are we when struggles invade our very own lives? Know yourself in your most vulnerable times. Are you the kind of person that will go with the flow of problem that puts you down or are you the type of being that will kick against the situation until you won the battle?

Sometimes, when you are with your friends and having good laughs, you're cheerful even though the middle portion of you is bleeding inside. But, when you are alone, are you still the same blissful person as you are when you're with you're friends? Reflect.

It's fascinating to think that the most funniest people you know are those that carry heavy loads in life. Can you imagine how strong they are? They came from a broken family, yet they are happy. They go through financial crisis, yet they are happy. They don't have food on their table, yet they are happy. What about us?

In good times, praise God. In bad times, still praise God. It's not that He wants you to suffer but instead, He wants you to be disciplined. He is a friend, communicate with Him through prayer.

Keep praying, He is listening. :)

Did you ever know the meaning of "goodbye"?

There's this one professor I have encountered during my first year in college that told me the real meaning of the word "goodbye."

Perhaps, most of us think that goodbye means going away or something like that. I know some of you are allergic to that word. Yeah, when you hear someone said that word "goodbye" to you, it somehow hurts you, right? Especially when that someone is so dear for you. Then, suddenly, you feel depressed because of that word. Eventually, it kills you. Hello? It's just goodbye.

You wanna know what goodbye truly means? Well, it's simple as God bless you or God be with you. So, why would you feel depressed? Claim it and be blessed.

Now, when someone tells you goodbye, your response should be "thank you." Yeah, to some who doesn't understand the real meaning of goodbye, they might be confused about your reply. But, it doesn't matter. It's their problem anymore.

We are supposed to choose our words carefully. God bless you! :)
