Do you hear me?

When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh, my lord, what shall we do?” the servant asked. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

And Elisha prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes so he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

2 King 6:15-17

This is one of the most fasinating scene from the Bible to me. I know in my head that he does not leave me alone in the dark, however many times the frustration comes when I feel he is too far or most of time, invisible and untouchable. (U see, one of my love languages is touch.)

Even then, God shows that he is never too far away as he answers to our prayer. Just few days ago at the coorporate prayer meeting, Daniel 2 has been praying for some of the friends to come back to life group. We haven’t seen our brother P for almost 2 months, and another sister W for nearly 3 months. And guess what. To our surprise, P came to life group on the following friday and W turned up at church on following sunday! On the same sunday brother S also accepted Christ, which we have been praying for few weeks!

We were overjoyed and give all the glory to God. When group of people pray together in one heart and spirit there is always a power in work. This maybe just a simple story, but it somehow ringing especially loudly in my heart.

Because I’m sure he’s listened my other 1001 prayer requests too. It’s just that he chooses when and how. He calls the shot. he’s the Boss. He’s the God.

Yeah, He really is.

“Copy that.”
