power of prayer

to cut the long story short,
i wanna ask ''how do u pray?''

ever get the answers or results u want?
no?
why is that?

''oh... maybe now is not the time...''
''just pray lah then see how things go...''
''no need to pray. He knows one.''

i was like that.
then i got sick. sick of not getting results.
so i asked Him,''why like that one? why no results?!''

He said,''How do u pray?''

He showed me that my prayer needs are met with how i pray.

so i looked to the gospel and saw how Jesus never took His time to heal, provide, feed, comfort
and even resurrect those who come to Him.
He always answered their prayer and needs immediately.
sometimes He even went looking for them.

He was never too busy. too occupied.
and best of all, He was always willing.
He demonstrated this in His first miracle, changing of water to wine, John 2:1-11.
even though He told Mary,'' My time has not yet come'',
He blessed abundantly.

so why am i delaying His blessings, favours & more for me with my lazy and weak prayer attitude?

knowing i will see His best results and solution in my situation,
i now pray confidently.

that to me is the secret to the power of prayer.
knowing that He is a willing Saviour.

pray now. and u will be surprised.

reply or respond?

ever wonder why it takes forever for people to reply or respond?

i thought it would be a brilliant idea to send out e-New Year greeting
to almost all my clients via my new website this year.
this would help promote my company website & reconnect where possible.

imagine my surprise.
close to 40 e-greeting were sent out and only 2 responded!

ok, i thought maybe people were just too busy to check emails
and even busier to reply whatsoever.

then i text messaged almost everyone work related from my iPhone.
3 replied. ''thx. same 2 u 2.''

seriously.
that's the best people can do?
maybe people aren't the most responsive during this time of the year.
they want to be left alone.
too many emails and text messages to reply.
blame SPAM.

whatever.
whether its an email, SMS, private message on Facebook, DM on Twitter, etc
i just think people who don't bother to reply or respond suck.
