Why Do You Call on God?

Why do you call on God? Why do you pray?

Do you call on God when you want to have a favor granted?

Do you talk to God when you want to ask for guidance before any decision is made?

Do you talk to God only when you are besieged with problems?

Do you talk to God to offer thanksgiving because He has been great to you and has made your life wonderful?

Do you talk to God just because? Whenever you feel like it, whenever you feel His power speaking to you, His greatness making you gush with awe and admiration, you talk to God.

There was this friend that I have met when I was an impressionable young girl. I have forgotten what her name was but the letter she wrote to me made a big impact that I will never in my life that I will forget what was written there:

“The size of your God sets the size of your dreams.”

I didn’t know what that meant but as I grew older, I came to realize that its not just the dream but the faith, the hope and all things that make us believe in the power of God make this come true.

I fervently wish that we do not just call on God when we feel we need to, when we want something done and when we are in trouble.

We should call on Him whenever we feel happy, thankful, and when we see how great He has been to us with His gift of life.

  1. […] I may be a pessimist at times but I firmly believe that God does not give us challenges that are too big or too difficult for us to conquer. After all, didn’t I just write a few weeks ago about the different reasons why we call on God? […]

  2. […] Has my faith been tested? Did I believe enough? […]
