REFLECTION AND GRATITUDE
I used to think Allah doesn't answer prayers. In fact, at a particular period, I noticed that every time I observe solat, something bad happens. But then one day, I got a call that someone died, a friend I was out with the previous day. And that was when it hit me... i noticed that I sleep and wake up without hitches, I've never had a reason to go to the hospital for anything life threatening either for myself, my family or my friends, the ground swallows people everyday and I'm still standing. I want and I get, I need and I have it. I hope and it's not dashed. I don't have everything but I have more than lots of people. I eat, I have shelter, I'm clothed, I need help and Allah provides people as channels. What more can a person want?
That was when I realized that God answers prayers. Just not in the way we want immediately. He balances it up in such a way that he fills up the space that even we don't think needs to be filled. He knows the next thing, He knows what we should have next, He knows when what we want isn't what we need. He guides, guards, protects and shields us. Bad things happen everyday and it doesn't even happen to us and when it happens he leaves us an outlet of praise. I have lots of spaces that needs to be filled, lots of things I still thirst for, lots of stuffs I think I should have had but I'm still waiting for. Lots and lots of desires and goodies. They aren't happening, at least not yet but I know they will. As long as I call on Him, I know my prayers will hit a mark one day. He promised that when we call Him, He will heat our calls and answer.
... So Alhamdulillah. I don't have it all, not even close but I'll never stop thanking Allah for His benevolence and mercy for that's the only thing that can attract more. He promised us more if we're grateful all the time and He never fails. Allah never stops giving me a reason to be thankful and even when it's not going my way like right now, I know Allah is stalling me for something greater than I can imagine because He never let's his people suffer without a reason. So nothing can ever make me stop putting all my trust in Him cos I know nothing happens without his consent. He's the All-knowing and the only one worthy of my praises.
