We will always know how to ask God and pray for what we need and want. But do you remember to thank God when any of your prayer is answered?
Do you thank God for a sudden smooth traffic after work? Do you thank God for not hurting your face when you fall down?
Last Saturday when I reached home after PYP, I wanted to move my car back into the house after my parents went out for dinner. But I couldn't start my car anymore. Totally spoil. And I parked my car in front of a renovating house that people might continue the renovation work on Sunday. For some people might start to complain that God did not protect the car.
But NO! I thank God for allowing my car to spoil at the right time. If my car couldn't start at church, how? If my car rosak half way when I am going home, how? If my car spoil when I park in front of my house, blocking the other 2 cars inside the house, how? If my car spoil on Sunday morning, how?
Therefore I thank God for such a blessing arrangement for me.
Ask yourself, doesn't God answer any of your prayer? I am sure a lot of people pray that God will bless them that they will pass their exam. So did you pass your exam? Does this mean God answer your prayer? Then why do you forget to give thank to Him?
Do you pray to God and ask for His blessings and protection everyday? Do you fall down everyday? If no, then why do your forget to give thank to Him for His protection?
Don't be the one who always remember to ask but forget to thank....
