10 Keys for Answered Prayer | Doug Batchelor
10 Keys for Answered Prayer | Doug Batchelor God wants to do more, exceedingly, abundantly more than we can think but we need to ask, and pray. How should we pray?
you’re right…I don’t believe it
When I was around 8 I felt God calling to me and I’ve been a Christian ever since. I’ve had a hard life most filled with mistreatment abuses and neglect. I’ve never turned from God and have always stayed faithful. I’ve always struggled financially and all of my dreams and aspirations have gone unfulfilled. I have no friends and I’m ok with that. Recently things have gotten worse for me. My nephew died about 5 years ago from a drug overdose even though we were praying and believing for him to be OK. Last year in March I was injured at work and I have been off and they won’t allow me to work because I’m not fully released. The insurance company stopped paying me in January and I’m still not released. My brother got sick last year also and was in the hospital for the whole year and died in November. I went to the funeral and 2 months later my dad passed away so I had to turn around go back for that. 20 hour drive for my brother’s and 12 hours for my dad. I’ve been married for almost 20 years and it’s been very rocky so much so that my wife’s sister said she’s surprised that I stayed with my wife. I just can’t leave my wife because I made a covenant. I’ve been told many times that I’m like Job or David. I am getting very tired and am starting to lose hope. I know Matthew 18:19 says “Again I tell you that if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven”. I’m asking for as many people that are willing to pray that God turns things around for me. I’m also praying for something very specific for me that I want God to answer and I’m asking for a many people as possible to agree and pray with me for God to answer.
One night, I was feeling very much alone.
I said to God, “I really miss hugs, if only you could hold me, but what is the point in asking when I can’t see you or feel you?”
The next evening I visited my parents. My Dad answered the door and led me into a room. He stood close behind me and asked me to be still. He placed his left arm around my waist and his right arm around the top of my chest, then rested his head on my left shoulder. I didn’t understand what was going on. He told me to rest in Gods presence for a moment.
I then asked him why he had done that. He said, “I had a dream last night. I was looking down from a great height and could see myself embracing you in that position. All I know is that God wanted me to do that for you.”
I suddenly remembered my prayer and shared it with him. It brought tears of joy.
God is so good!
He chose my earthly Father to represent my heavenly Father.
We often reflect on that time.
We call it ‘The Father’s Embrace.”
Hi my fear is aging. I am a woman off 30. I naturally had big faith and loved helping people. I just never had the wish to age. Ofcourse i can tell myself its beautiful but i cant really find my joy back. I feel sad God cant help me. Also i makes me feel ugly for men. Somethings i never considered. Im never much into fake stuff i like natural beauty and nature. But men like also beautiful natural woman with a good❤. Men have to fight there lust. So being not beautiful anymore is just sad …. and makes me inssecure. Since then i cant pray anymore because i cant even vision the thing i want. I never wanted be old😢 i pray to die young. I can think off so many things i want but not if i have to age
Yes yes make do happy. Yes
