After NYSC, implement the plans you made before rounding up NYSC.

Most people wait until they finish NYSC before they think. Which becomes a pressure on them afterwards.

Why Isn’t God Answering My Prayer?

“So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son.” 1 Samuel 1:20a (NIV)

Have you ever cried over something so much that you run out of tears? Your swollen eyes just give out and dry up while a current of unrest still gushes through your soul. And you look up toward heaven in utter frustration.
Me too.

And there’s someone else in the Bible who was right there as well.

She felt provoked and irritated. Her anguish was so intense that she wept and would not eat. Before the Lord, she cried out in bitterness of soul, “LORD Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant … then I will …” (1 Samuel 1:11b, NIV).

These words describe and articulate the deep distress of a woman from thousands of years ago, and yet here I sit in modern times relating so completely. They are from the woman named Hannah found in 1 Samuel 1.

Hannah’s tears over her empty womb were made even more painful by her husband’s other wife, Peninnah. She had many sons and daughters and made sure to rub this fact in Hannah’s face every chance she got.

There’s a common thread that weaves through Hannah’s story, and yours and mine. We can all be found desperately wanting something we see the Lord giving to other women. We see Him blessing them in the very areas He’s withholding from us. We look at them and feel set aside.

Why them? Why not me?

Then the seemingly unjust silence from God ushers us from a disturbed heart to a bitter soul. And we start to feel something deep inside that contradicts everything we hold true: If God is good, why isn’t He being good to me in this?

And in this moment of raw soul honesty, we’re forced to admit we feel a bit suspicious of God. We’ve done all we know to do. We’ve prayed all we know to pray. We’ve stood on countless promises with a brave face. And still nothing.

So what do we do when we feel set aside? What do we do when our heart is struggling to make peace between God’s ability to change hard things and His apparent decision not to change them for us?

We do what Hannah did. We keep pressing in.

Instead of taking matters into her own hands, Hannah took her requests to God. Instead of pulling away from Him in suspicion, she pressed in ever closer, filling the space of her wait with prayer.

Oh, how I love her unflinching faith. Where barrenness and mistreatment by Peninnah could have caused Hannah to completely lose heart, she refused to be deterred from trusting in God. She possessed a faith that was not contingent upon her circumstances, but based on what she knew to be true about her good and faithful God. A faith that led her to pray with so much passion and boldness in the tabernacle that Eli, the high priest, accused her of being drunk! (1 Samuel 1:13-14)

And in a matter of four verses (17‑20), her cries of anguish gave way to the cries of her newborn son. Of course, 1 Samuel 1:20a uses very clear words to let us know Hannah’s answer didn’t come right away: “So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son …” (emphasis added).

Samuel was born in God’s perfect timing. And the timing of his birth was imperative because Samuel was destined to play an integral role in the transition from the time of the judges to the eventual establishment of kingship for the Israelites.

God hadn’t made Hannah wait to punish her. He hadn’t been callous or indifferent to her cries. And He’s not ignoring those of us waiting either.

God loves us too much to answer our prayers at any other time than the right time.



Are you or a friend dealing with that kind of a situation where you’re trusting God for something "in the course of time”?

We know how incredibly hard that can be.

That’s why we are offering these hammered pendant necklaces with the phrase “See With My Heart” written in braille.

They are a beautiful reminder to trust God, even when you don’t understand His timing.

When we can’t see what God is doing with our physical eyes, we can choose to see with the eyes of our heart. We can touch the braille on this necklace and trust (like Hannah did) that in the course of time everything will work out according to God’s perfect plan.

Father God, thank You so much for reminding me today that You are not ignoring me. You hear every cry of my heart. Will You please help me in the waiting? Help me trust Your perfect timing. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.



TRUTH FOR TODAY

Psalm 27:13, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” (NKJV)

It has been wonderful "discussing" with you! Programming is the in-thing now if a person would be relevant based on the current trend in some fields. I am not a computer scientist though

It's been wonderful discussing with you too!
lol. Irony of life though. I had my Bachelor's degree in CS. But my area of specialization is not in programming. Although It's in IT Field.

Laptop yin ti fe gba Aburo

BlessedFellow01:
Great! I wish I can get as much motivation as you to learn French Duolingo has stopped reminding me. I will definitely make out time once I am less busy with programming and other stuff.

Thank you so much! All the best

It's a pleasure! Thank you too! Good to know you're into programming. All the best with that as well!

Vickyrotex, I definitely respect your opinion, n m not saying it's only firstborns, but the firstborn is d one who's being watched and pressured by everybody, so it's kinda harder. I'm sure u understand.

Hi, yea sure! I do understand. It's well!

BlessedFellow01:
Have you been to NB? I am in Freddy. I had Duolingo installed in my previous phone last year and used to learn at least once a week but my schedule has been overloaded this year so I have not learnt at all Your French should have improved significantly since you are taking classes and live in Quebec. I will try the best I can later in the year. Hopefully, I will improve my French vocabulary

Oh Freddy! That's about 7 to 8 hours. No I haven't. Had plans to be in Saint John, for an event late Summer, but the venue was changed. Yea, Duolingo is my pal. It reminds you everyday, but after a while when you dont open the app, it tells you "we will stop reminding you" whenever I see that, I just open it again and continue You can try to ignite the passion to learn again.
lol @ significantly. Still learning, but I understand better now though, and it's easier writing in French than speaking, since one is not put on the spot while writing. Also their accent here doesnt help. They have this accent they call "Quebecois accent" that even some French speaking countries find it hard to understand at times. All the best in improving! I wish myself that too!

Teel012:
I'm not dispelling your ideology but I'm just being truthful, this is Nigeria, except u didn't grow up in Nigeria.

Trust me, I respect your opinion! Quite the contrary, I grew up in Nigeria. I'm not saying there are no challenges. I'm saying these challenges shouldn't be idolised and made to be believed that it's only "first-born's" who go through a lot.
I dont wanna start spelling out examples I've seen, but I hope you will respect my opinion, as I respect yours!

BlessedFellow01:
Great! I may visit Montreal later in the year. I heard it is about 5 hours drive from here.

Nice I took a French class last winter but I have not had much time to learn this year. Yes. They speak English and French here unlike QC that is majorly French. If you visit a government office here, they greet you "hello bonjour", your reply determines the language that will be spoken to you.

Nice! Not so far! I think it depends on where you are coming from in NB and where you are going to in Québec. Saint John to Québec City is about 6 hours. While Saint John to Montréal is about 7 or 8 hours.

Yea me too, took Winter and Fall last year. Hopefully, will continue classes in Summer. There's this App that's been helping me learn daily too. "Duolingo" and the fact that I really dont mind if I make mistakes, I try to communicate in French these days.
NB is the only province in Canada, with English and French as official languages. Makes life pretty easy! lol.
Although, here as well, the western side of Montréal often uses the Bonjour/hello greeting. But Eastern side, Youre on your own, unless you tell them "Je comprend pas". Also, the more you move up north Québec, the harder it is to find people who communicate in English.

33 gini?

Sun re o!

BlessedFellow01:
Haha! QC especially Montreal is more of a "happening" place than here. Do you speak French?

lol. Yea, I love it serene nature though. Save for Summer when everyone comes from different part of the world. lol. "Je comprends petit petit" Learning daily.
I think you guys speak French over there too?

You meant Rest in Pieces.

In Peace!
