One prayer answered today.

I have been praying for a breakthrough for nearly a year ~ OK, maybe not that consistently. Off and on, especially when the matter bothered me. And I must say that it could bother me really badly. It was one of the major sources of my misery and depression. 

Today, it was as if a rainbow had appeared after the long stormy flood. What relief! I could hardly contain the joy in my heart... joy effervesced so energetically that it exploded out of me in a burst of laughter. I didn't want that special moment to end. I savoured the energy it gave me.

Although the prayer is too personal (and actually it would sound very ridiculous to some, because it sounded ridiculous to me too) to be shared here, I am thankful that God did not despise the ridiculous nature of my request. He made all things work together for good.

This breakthrough has encouraged me to be bolder in my prayers. It doesn't matter if the prayer sounds silly to you (or anyone else for that matter). If the matter weighs your heart down so much that you can't breathe, you can tell God and He would listen to you. And if it bothers you again, cry out to God. Someday, in His good time, the tensions will resolve. Perhaps not in our ways... but certainly in God's much higher ways.

God, I thank You for being merciful.
