Get out of your SELF
For the past week up until today, I've been asking the Lord, "What can prayers do with all the sickening news we have been hearing?"
We want to see action - yes - because we can't bear living comfortable lives while others are suffering. We want tanglible solutions to problems. Our prayers appear to be useless when people around the world are starving, grieving and dying. But human as we are, we can only do so much. At the very least, all we could do is share photos or videos to raise awareness and write our heartfelt sympathy for our devastated fellow men.
Now here is why I have resolved to set aside time to pray. My mortal limitations are trampled by the power of God who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. For those who have experienced His power, surrendering all to Him is the only way to live fully. This is why we should pray for the world. For every unfulfilled desire to help our desolate brethren, there is a portion in God's plan being accomplished. Yes, life is unfair. That is a fact. It is heartbreaking to watch the plight of others in the comfort of our homes but maybe, just maybe, we are allowed to be in the better position in order to pray for those who cannot see a single reason to believe in the God who brought them to life.
Please remember that the Lord has brought you into existence not only for yourself. You are right where you are, at this moment in history, for a particular purpose. If you don't know your purpose, start with praying for the world. GET OUT OF YOUR SELF!
