Why do Miracles happen for some? Why do some of us have more Answered Prayers than others?

I have one key phrase for that: It is desire that leads to miracles and what you do with that desire.

The same with Answered Prayers!

Desire is not a passive word – many of us want something from God, even desperately sometimes but are complacent about it. Often, He is waiting for us to search Him out in a situation – seeking is not passive or half -hearted either, it has to do with seeking Him with all our heart and strength, like Jesus words “to love Him with all our heart and mind and strength”……..there are so many distractions that fill our day and evening, so many things that capture our attention……quite willingly……things we like a lot often.

We should ask ourselves, are we as willing to seek after Him? His Word says that His eyes search the earth for hearts that seek Him – so the readiness is there. When are we ready in “this busy, busy generation?” have we really had enough of things the way they are or have been. Maybe we want the gifts and not the Giver but they come together. We often want postage delivery from Heaven, so to speak but He is smarter than that.

We so often think our prayers are unanswered – is it that He is waiting for us to come close enough to receive it? Maybe Yes! We care more than anyone else about our needs, that’s true, but do we care enough to search Him out? How is it that we separate the gift from the Giver?

I think it is because we don’t really know Him – if we did, then we would be more intimately acquainted. After-all, we are more personal with our love-ones when they have gifts for us yet we are so estranged from the Lover of our Souls. We place more value on our relationships than we do with a Benevolent Father and Friend of Friends.

Yes, this is true of most of us is’nt it? Hence, we find the answer to unanswered prayers (most times) because in effect, we are saying “lets be strangers, but give me the gifts”. Honestly, we want so many things from Him, we want Him to “give, give, give” until He is worn out (figure of speech). But He is not an earthly mother, He is our Heavenly Father and He is much wiser than that. We must think He was born yesterday (figure of speech).

We want our children to come up really close to us when we give them gifts, hey? And so it is with “Daddy Father, Elshadai” He wants to tell us something, and it is this “be acquainted with Me and hereby will Peace come to you. If you hunger and thirst for My Presence, you will be satisfied. I can relate with you and show you things, I can move in your heart and life”. This is your way out of anxiety and confusion, my friend. There is only confusion about unanswered prayers when we are not close to Him, like children and trust in His wisdom sometimes. Really, that is your answer.
