A prayer list

This morning, a whisper came to me: “Write down a list of prayers”. I stopped writing down prayer requests or really earnestly pray for specific things for a while. Not because of I do not have one, but because I know my present situation is by God’s design to grow me. I learned not to relentlessly fight but to obey.

“Write a list.” The whisper continued. “Do you remember your list on the piece of blue paper? They all came true.”

I suddenly remembered about 7 years ago, I had one. There was a prayer for a sister to get pregnant, and another sister to know God and have God to bless her marriage….” Now the first sister’s son is 4.5 years old and the second sister has transitioned with a light speed from a single, to a wife with a very sincere husband and a proud mom of two boys.

“Write the requests down. They will come true.”
“If everything I ask for will come true, what shall I write? Are you really going to give me everything I write down?”

“God, Guide me”.

I hope magically the pen moves by itself as in movies. But as I was doing so in a faithful heart, tears came down. Because God seems to remember the things I had forgotten or lost heart to. I prayed earlier this year to won one specific proposal so that I may have about x0K compensation pre-tax, then my husband can have a new car as his current commute car really needs a fix. It did not come true and our already tight budget will not allow this.

I saw an item that in areas of relationships, that I did realize there need a difference but God cares so deeply what the heart longs for.
Two persons names came up. I tried and prayed for them earnest in the summer and walked through the difficult time in their lives with them but one or two words from them hurt me. I stopped praying for them. But God still remembers them. And me.
…..
God knows me better than I know myself.

What would you write down if anything you ask for will become true?
