PRAyERS AND mIRAClES

 

“Let it be done to you according to your faith.” – Matthew 9:29

 

The weather forecast said there was the possibility of afternoon rain for the next three days. Our silver wedding anniversary was scheduled during one of those days and it included a Mass and renewal of wedding vows in a garden setting.

So my husband and I turned to prayer as recourse, believing that prayer is the strength of men and the weakness of God. The Lord answered our petition with a cloudless afternoon, refreshing wind and a magnificent sunset during our celebration.

We turn to God for everything, especially when it involves things beyond our human capacity. Although we pray for everything, we also do our part in making the miracles happen in our lives. Our prayers for good health will not be answered if we do not have discipline in our eating habits and our lifestyle. And while we pray for financial blessings, I achieved the status of top sales performer with hard work.

In every miracle, God takes care of the supernatural while man lifts up his petitions to the heavens and does honest toil.  

 

REFLECTION:

When you pray for a miracle, do you do your part to make it happen?

 

Lord, I stand in awe of You for all the miracles You have done in my life. Thank You for the power of Your Name.
