The Goodness of God


This year, along with some of last year has been somewhat challenging for me; but God is good. And he comes & shows himself to those who seek him. I began praying on a situation about 5 months ago....now I wasn't always praying about it because I wanted to do what I wanted to do. I was just letting things happen. And I had a non- chalant attitude about it. But it was God who changed my attitude. He surrounded me with people of God, not only that but he removed those people in my life who were not encouraging me and helping my situation. I started hearing the word of God more and more which as a result started to change my whole attitude towards my situation. As my attitude began to change, I began praying for God's will and not mine. During this time I was still constantly hearing God's Word on a daily basis. So hearing the Word (Romans 10:17- Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ) strengthened my faith. I began believing God for what I asked of him. Day by day my faith increased not only by hearing the Word, but by God revealing himself to me like never before. He assured me day in and day out that he is doing a great work. Each time when I felt like giving up, he picked me up and said I am with you. Right now, I believe that my prayer has already been answered in the Spirit and shall manifest in the flesh soon. Praise God!

I have never felt the Holy Spirit so strong in my life before. When we pray his answer to us is him *God*. He told me if I seek him all things (including what I prayed for) will be added unto me. So I've been seeking him with all my heart... and he's given me a peace like never before. He's lifted my burdens and renewed my spirit...Glory to God! He's given me a new prayer language which strengthens me daily and draws me closer to him:) But not only do we have to seek him, we have to obey what he is telling us to do.
