I was very sick then. It was the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I prayed to Jesus, please heal me through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and expounded on how great She is. Believe it or not, the next day, I was healed!
If it's a wish for something else, like you, I mention the reason for requesting (yung kelangan mo yung file mo, kaya nahanap mo.) Ganun din ako, kaya pinagbigyan Nya mga panalangin ko. It's very important that we are careful with what we say because we are speaking to no one else but our Creator! A person I know told me that kneeling down is very important as well.
There was a request before, na ngayon lang Nya grinant. I always believe that blessings are never late, but always on time. Yes, it's important, claim it! (Trust 100% He gave it to you)
Very true, seek first His Kingdom, rest will follow. I attest to this!!! ex. pray the rosary for conversion, peace among people, nation, etc. When we attend mass, praise Him deeply. Di mo napapansin, ang hiling mo, will be granted. Again, di pwede ipush si God, He'll grant it when He feels it right. But if not, something better will be given, perfect for us. :-)
