How to pray

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phillipians 4:6-7 (NLT)

I was looking for a job.

I was desperate and getting depressed. I tried so hard to find something but nothing worked out. I managed to get a temporary job, it was a start but I really wanted something permanent and secure. So I kept on looking and praying.

The company I worked at advertised for a permanent job in another department I was so excited I applied and got an interview. Then they offered me the job but a few days later withdrew it, they gave it to someone else who was returning from maternity leave.

I was angry and blamed God. Why would he give me a job, get me all excited and then take it away? I had prayed about it so why didn’t he help me? 

4 months later the department that the job was in was reviewed and everyone in it was made redundant. Suddenly I realised that he had been answering me all along. I am still there working even though the job is labelled as temporary whilst those who had a permanent role have been let go.

Sometimes we question what He does, but He has the answers event though we may not always see it. I’m trying to learn to not question him anymore but to trust Him more.
