how do you ask God for a favor?

[blushydamsel]

hi mga sisses!!!! how are you?

may question lang ako. how do you ask God for a favor? can you help to share?
meron kasi akong nippray kay God, last month pa. hehe.. pero hindi ko alam bakit ang sagot Niya sa akin ay "not now" pa rin. i know God has His perfect time for everything. but you know, as a stubborn person that I am, I'm always make kulit to God to give me my prayer na. pero until now wala pa rin.
Hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit, lahat naman ng prayers ko sinagot Niya, in an instant!  promise.. let me share them to you:

1. I asked God na wag umapaw yung ilog dito samin. - hindi nga umapaw.
2. I asked God na naway tumigl na yung rain. - tumigil na dito.
3. I asked God wag mag brownout samin kasi i'll be working from home. - may ilaw pa din
4. I asked God wag ako ma DC sa connection ko. - d nga ako naddc...
and eto.... grabe, napa "God, You are so amazing!" ako

5. I'm digging my local drive and my inboxes for one very important document. i just whispered "God, naway po makita ko na yung project plan" kasi kailangan ko ngayon na, kasi hindi ako makapag-start ng work ko ng wala yun. voila! in an instant, i saw this one mail from my previous colleague, and then when i opened the attachment. yun na ang hinahanap ko haha thank God!

.. so now, can't help but wonder. bakit yung isang prayer ko, hindi pa sinasagot ni God. i know He has His Own perfect time. pero can you help to share how you sisses "persuade" God, or make kulit to Him para ibigay yung prayers nio?

[alwynne24]

You simply cannot bargain with God, much more "persuade" Him.
God is GOD but He does not act at our disposal.
If He intends to give a blessing, He will give it in His time... 
& as always, there's a sweet reward if we will just learn to wait.

^thanks sis! yup, sa paghihintay ko, tinuruan ako ni God maging patient at magtrust sa Kanya. binigay na Niya sa akin ang aking hinihintay. *shouts Thank You God!*

thanks sis, God bless!

[miss resilient]

parang sa tao..makikiusap.

pero ang paghingi ng favor sa Lord, let us make sure na ang ginagawa natin, eh pleasing din sa kanya..

[alwynne24]

Seek the Giver, not the gift. 

[glamorosa_09]

^Agree...

re-phrasing, seek the Blesser, not the blessings...

RE: thread

di ba ang mga sagot ni God

ay

Yes
No
Wait

You're in a right track naman sa pangungulit. Just like the parable about a woman and a judge. Sobrang pangungulit ng woman dun sa judge, kaya ginrant ng judge yung hiling nung woman. If ever na NO man ang maging sagot nya sayo, He knows better.

[devilsfoodcake]

i pray.. if it's meant for me, then I believe he will give it to me

Napagusapan namin ni hubby yan nung isang gabi. Ako naman ayaw ko mangulit kay God, baligtad! Feeling ko parang pinangungunahan ko kasi si God eh. Tsaka ako kasi mismo ayaw ko ng makulit pero gusto na sana naming magkaanak. I know deep in my heart may reasons sya bakit "Wait" pa ang sagot nya.

Start ko na nga rin na kulitin sya.

[mdy]

I go to mass for 9 straight days. Persuasive-type ako especially pag gusto ko talaga mangyari. When I pray, I thank God first for all the blessings then cite my intentions and the reason behind that intention. Palagi naman answered prayer pag ganyan ang ginagawa ko. Not sure kung effective yung way ko or its something to do with my faith with God--- that nothing is impossible with Him.

[u8mypinkcookies]

prayers lang... tuloy-tuloy tapos i just keep my faith in him... na alam naman nya ano tama for me...

[shenka]

Kinakausap ko lang parang daddy. 

[snowflakes]

i believe na kahit anong dasal natin if hinde will ni Lord di natin makukuha yun. it doesnt mean na He says no but im sure na ibang way nya sinasagot ang mga ito.

[Dhee-Dhee]

I thank him in advance! As if nakuha ko na yung hinihiling ko sa kanya.. and then I whisper, "wala na pong bawian yan ha?" hihi.. but i know of course that there are certain things na siya lang nakakaalam kung talagang para sa akin ba yun or hindi. i always think na God is up to something better for me.

[ladyxylenz]

mga sis pwede ba irequest kay god na ibigay nya nalang sayo yung taong gusto mong makasama forever na sana kahit in a relationship ngayon yung taong minamahal mo eh sana dumating yung time na sana kayo nalang yung gawing meant to be ni god. 

[superbubly]

puwede ka naman mag request kay God, pero ibibigay niya sayo yun kung meant for you pero pag hindi may ibang deserve for you. 

about the topic:

bihira lang ako humingi ng favor, pag gustong gusto ko yung isang bagay talagang I asked God, for sure yung oras na yun ang sigurado kong nasa puso ko galing. Kaya napaka rare ko lang humingi ng favor sa kanya.

[pinkk]

I always light a candle or colorful candles at home or church.
 Shout it silently through your mind always.

[roxykarlo]

prayers, prayers, prayers. but di kasi lahat ng prayers eh may answer. ako, hindi lahat ng prayers ay may answer. and guess what -- i was even thankful kay God na di Niya na answer prayer ko cause i realized it might become a problem for me later on. Now i know that God's time is the perfect time. God's reply may be delayed, but His time is always the perfect time.

Prayers and Candles.

Blue (Light): Another very spiritual color: it is used to increase peace, tranquility, patience, and calmness. It radiates Aquarian energy and can be used in devotional or inspirational meditations; employ where a situation must be synthesized. Mostly used to confer wisdom, protection, and good fortune. Increases spiritual awareness. Also increases communication, which can cause change. Can bring about a deep meditational state. Used in rituals that need increased Saturn energy.

Green: Promotes prosperity, fertility, and success. Stimulates good luck, can increase money, harmony, and rejuvenation. Also represents Healing, health, and growth. Can be an important component in rituals involving Venus; attracts love, and social delights.

Pink: Represents emotions from the heart and raises energies. This is the standard for all rituals that are used to draw love.

Purple: Is used to obtain desires, power and success. Can stimulate idealism and psychic manifestations and help make contact with the spiritual world. Increases enthusiasm, desire and power. Is also powerful for healing, and spiritual development. Some attempt to use it for power over others.

Red: Represents physical pleasures. It can stimulate lust, courage, or strength against enemies. Can confer passion, love, and/or respect. Stimulates energy, health, fertility and will power.

White: This has the highest consciousness to protect, purify, and heal. Represents truth, unity, protection, peace, purification, happiness, and spirituality. Some say it can be used to replace any color candle in rituals. Used for concentration rituals and meditation work. Lunar energy.

Yellow: Represents attraction, charm, confidence and persuasion. Used to stimulate mental clarity, knowledge and concentration. Also used in healing. Like gold, it can serve for magic and rituals involving solar energies and deities associated with the sun. Stimulates logic, aids in overcoming mental blocks and promoting the self.

para sa akin, totoo yung sabi ng iba na you should be specific with your prayers to God.  Though God knows the desires of your heart, gusto pa din ni Lord na manggaling sa atin, that we continue to seek His divine providence.  Totoo din na di lahat maibibigay sa atin, but if we let God control our lives, we then eventually request to Him whatever is His will, and from there we can say that God always answers our prayers

[brendzy]

continue to pray sis, dwell more to Him. Just like the other sis, either YES, NO or WAIT ang answer. But for guideness and to remove worry, my hubby and I do fast and pray like 3 days or if kaya up to 7 days. fast -- does not mean no food at all, fast the most desirable for you, example no meat/rice just fruits and veggies, things like that. But the most important is, how faithful you are to believe that He will answer your prayer?
