An Interesting Way of Answering Prayers

I have many things in mind like travel, buy gifts, etc which all require an amount of money. So recently I was praying to God to help me earn and raise money. I asked Him if he could give me work that will require me to stay an hour or so, so I could get an overtime pay. Well, He did answer my prayer in an instant. A program error came out, and we had a very hard time looking for the cause of the problem. For that I stayed almost until midnight to try looking for the bug in the system. There were two other people who were with me, one was my boss. I was so tired and was about to give up when I realized God was giving me the opportunity to earn, and at the same time letting me work hard to get it. He really has this interesting way of answering prayers. It may not really what I literally asked Him to do, but He surely gave me the better answer to my prayer. So while I was walking home, I couldn't help myself but laugh at what happened and be just grateful to Him for He is strangely amazing.

God does have his own way at things. Its just that most people dont open their eyes enough to realize that its him talking to them. I am glad god answered your prayers. And that you realized it was him.

I believe that God will always be there. I believe He answers every prayer we have, only that it doesn't always turn out the way we expected to be. God protects us, and guides us. That's why whenever I think that my answer is not being answered, I have this hope and faith that God is up to something better, and more wonderful that I have originally asked for.

God is great. His ways are beyond our imagination. In December I was looking high and low in the internet to secure a decent budget hotel for my family to stay when I will be going to Singapore for training. As a weekend getaway for them to spend time with me and travel back together to Malaysia. God is truly wonderful. He blessed me with a five star hotel (Sheraton Hotel Singapore) and fine dining up in the sky absolutely free of charge. I won a contest organised by Singapore Flyer . We have a great time! Praise the Lord!
