Disciple of Prayer
Praise the Lord uncle.Iam Joshua from KGF. Iam a pastor's son, from my childhood I was taught about God but I never accepted him as my personal saviour and I was not interested in praying or Bible reading. Just for name sake and for my parent's sake I use to pray and lead worship in church. I love Jesus but did not submit my life to him. After completing my studies I searched for jobs but I did not get any job and when I saw my friends getting good jobs and their lives settled I was worried about my future and thought about committing suicide. For the first time I cried to Jesus for help asking him to take my life because I thought God forgot me but on the same day God spoke to me quoting Isaiah 49:15. That day I came to know that Jesus is a God who speaks and who is alive even today. After few days God called me for his ministry and I went to Bible College and studied for 3 years but I wasted my time there and I dint have a relationship with God and I was not concerned about ministry also. Before getting my graduation all the students were sent home because of corona but that was the best time I came closer to God. At first I planned to pray and read bible for parents sake only but without my knowledge I was moved to pray daily and have relationship with God. From my childhood I have not prayed for anything but during this lockdown one of my friend has 12lakhs debt so I thought of praying for him. I heard many testimonies so I had a faith that even God would do a miracle for me and after few days I noticed that there are many needs in our church so I wrote all that in a paper and started praying with strong faith but after few days I lost faith because I din't see any changes in my life even after praying. But one day God spoke to me in family prayer and often he would speak and strengthen me when ever I was feeling low. Iam praying for past 9 months and this is 10th month iam praying still I could not see any changes in my life. I got doubt whether God is hearing my prayer or not. For past 8 or 9 days iam asking God to speak to me and strengthen me, every day iam expecting God to speak to me but no answer from him. For past few days often I fast and pray I keep on weeping still no answer from God. Iam frustrated and depressed because I don't ask anything even with my parents but only on God I kepy my trust but even God is not answering me. Iam broken sometimes I think of dying because even God is not ready to do a miracle in my life and he is not even ready to speak to me. I keep on asking God to speak with me and correct me if iam wrong anywhere but no answer. My question is whether God is angry on me? Or should I wait? Or should correct myself in things which iam wrong? Or is this a test for me? I am not able to travel through this path. Iam exhausted.. Did God forgot me? Then why did he call me for his ministry? Why did he give promises to me? And why is he silent ? Please pray for me uncle. I waiting for God's answer Now a days iam not able to pray or read Bible because I feel God is very far from me. What should I do now? Every door is closed before me and I don't know what to do next. Waiting for God's answer.
