God Loves Simple Prayers

And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. ~ Matthew 6:7

Part 1

On 26th May 2012, afternoon at 12pm, I was looking for a place to park my car in the Boelevard Shopping Mall carpark. However, the place was full, well its Saturday, what do you expect. I just keep on driving, hoping to get a parking space. It lasted for half an hour!!! (ya, i know i'm stubburn guy). Suddenly...jeng...jeng...jeng...i felt so lazy to wait anymore and so i prayed, "God please give me a place to park and a good one. Amen". 

Tadaaaa!!! To my amazement (actually surprise is a better word) just as i finish saying that, 2 meters infront was a car going out and it was opposite the escalator entrance to the mall. Wow..right? Well, its God that we're talking about here. It's a small matter to Him. While praising God, that was the time that these words came out, "God who created Heaven and Earth knows our needs and will provide, but sometimes He's just waiting for us to ask."

Ya, He never fails to make me amazed. He is just full of surprises. ") End of Part 1.

Part 2

On the 25th May 2012, around 10.30am, i was sending my friend Chil to CIMB bank in Padungan. I dropped her off in front of the bank and i went on to look for a parking space. The parking space in front of the bank seems to be fully parked. There is a car in front of me (car A) and he was lucky (i'll just assume the driver was a he, or maybe it was doraemon or Goku who drive it, well, sailormoon also can) anyway, ya he was lucky because a lady just came out from the bank and went to her car B which is infront of the car A. So lucky of him. He straight away turn on his car signal light which is a sign saying, "This parking space is mine! Muahahaha!!!". 
Oh Wow! beautiful drawing! 

It was very hard to find a parking space over there (well, that was what i thought until later on when i went back i saw lotttsss of parking space at the back, alright not funny). There was no more chance that ill get a parking space infront of the bank. Few minutes have pass yet Car B is still not moving, neither was the car engine started. Furious maybe, Car A hons his car, yet nothing happens. I dont really bother about them, yet i remembered the story of Part 1 above and so i prayed the same prayer. At first i don't feel like asking God's help. It was very a small matter. Why should i trouble Him? He has many other important things to do right. Yet He has taught me to rely on Him even to the smallest thing. 

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding ~ Proverbs 3:5

Just as i finish praying that, the car infront of me which is Car A, obviously cannot wait any longer, drove his car to look for other parking space. As soon as Car A drove away, 1 second after that Car B reverse her car and ready to go home! I was shocked and happy at the same time. wohooo! My turn to turn on my car signal light indicating ("This parking space is mine!  Muahahaha!!!") I mean, amazing isn't it our GOD! He reserves that parking space for me!! I feel so touched! Indeed eventhough it was a small favour to ask, He still cares. Even in the smallest thing...ask... Rely on Him not only when your problems are big, but when it is small, tell Him about it. Remember Him at all times, Big or Small. Everything that concers you, matters to Him, because He loves you, me, everyone!

For the LORD is good and His Love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations. ~ Psalms 100:5
