GOD Listens

I believe that praying is really talking to God. And just like when we are talking in an ordinary way, God listens and talk back to us through the many events and circumstances in our daily life.

Just this morning inside the church I was praying hard to God for something bothering me these past days. My husband have not communicated for almost a week now and it's starting to worry me. We are miles away from each other since he work overseas. We used to communicate everyday through the Internet because this is the cheapest way to go. But just last week he told me he will have his laptop repaired and so he will not be online for a few days. Well, it really made me sad but i understand , anyway there are really other ways to communicate for a time being, like the mobile phone. I am not used to not having heard any news from him everyday and so that few days being out of touch with him was really something to me. Call it weird or ridiculous but I was really beginning to panic and worry .It's almost a week now since our last chat and got no news from him yet. I tried calling his mobile but it seems there is also a problem too because I really cannot get through as well. Call it paranoia, but I am contemplating of calling his office to check if he is okay. My mind is fighting over the idea of calling his office or not. Why can't I just wait for a few days more, maybe he is ok and that the laptop was still unavailable, maybe I'm just missing him a lot. But then again I can't help myself not to worry. And so , in the Holy Mass I really lifted my anxieties and worries to Jesus. When I received him in the Holy Eucharist, I told him that I believe He can touch my husband and make him communicate with me today . I went home after the mass holding my faith in God, that He did listened and heard my prayers to Him in the church.

When I reached home, I went straight to my computer and open my Yahoo Messenger which I always do everyday. It's kind of a routine for me. When the Offline Message Box popped up I got really excited. And lo and behold !!!! I am looking at my husbands' offline messages for me. God indeed listened and heard well my prayers . He did answered it right away. I can only feel joy and happiness. Nothing can beat God's faithfulness to those who seek Him first. Truly there are little miracles that happens in our life everyday , we only have to be more aware of God's presence in us.

God is the Giver of everything we have, all that is precious to us are His gifts to us. He is the source of all things that is good. And so it is just right that He should be The One we go to if we need to do something or have problem with anything. Life is not always what we want it to be but knowing that there is God to call upon for help and guidance...everything will follow.

"Seek yeh first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness. And all this things shall be added unto you....Allelu Alleluia!!!" I remember singing this song when I was still in school. And I can hear myself singing it once again...now... but this time more meaningfully.
