Just a little story on prayers.
Yes to many this may seem frivolous, but I hope it gives you confidence of God’s involvement in our lives. I work in engineering and often am faced with some complex problems. Well the other day I was trying to solve a long term problem and had been focusing on this for a month without any progress.
The pressure was building and every avenue I had followed were dead ends. It was late Friday and I was having to give the machine back soon and still had not found the solution. I had enlisted another engineer to help with no success.
I was at my wits end.
Well I sat down after the last test failed and relaxed. I closed my eyes and cleared my head, then prayed to God for insight to the solution. Well within 5 minutes the “fix” popped into my head and within a half an hour it was working on the machine!
Was it prayer that solved it? I can only say the timing was very coincidental and believe that prayer had to have been a factor.
I can’t say how many prayers appear to go unanswered and only a few become clear on why they were unanswered. I can point you to the end of Job for clarity on why God is sovereign and not really to be questioned, just have peace He is aware and working all the time.
