THE AWESOME POWER
OF AS KING IN PRAYER
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock
and the door will be opened to you…”– Matthew 7:7
At a seminar my wife and I
attended, the speaker told us to write down our dreams. Dreaming is free
anyway, so we wrote crazy things like a European trip, a pilgrimage to the Holy
Land, establishing an orphanage, putting up a family business, and other
outrageous fantasies.
I was poor and jobless then.
The company I worked for had just closed down. My wife was a full-time
homemaker. So those dreams were really wild. But the speaker told us to pray
about them daily and believe God had already granted them.
That blew my mind. But obey
the speaker’s instructions we did. And so we asked God — and asked again and
again. Lo and behold, each and every one of those crazy dreams turned into
reality. We were transformed from being blessed to becoming
blessers and mighty believers.
Ours indeed is a big God and
His blessings are limitless. We just have to ask, pray and persist in praying.
So go ahead, ask God. Rey Ortega (reylindo.ortega@gmail.com)
Reflection: When you ask God for something huge and ambitious, do
you pray timidly, doubting that you don’t deserve what you’re asking for? Or do
you believe that God’s deepest desire is to make you happy and whole? Believe
the latter.
Lord God, I love You and I know that You love me. I offer to You my
dreams and I thank You in advance for granting them.
St. Porphyry of Gaza, pray for us.
