Many of us have shakey faith on GOD . Why ?
It is not because GOD don't give what we ask (Bible says we get when we ask in the name of JESUS), but because, he prefer not to answer our prayers.
We have no problem if he says YES or NO or WAIT . But he should say something , we wish.
The faith is based on two way communication.
Today, unfortunately, we have only one way communication .
We even don't know whether HE heard our prayers or not .
We don't have any acknowledgement of whatsoever for our prayers.
That's why we have shakey faith in the first place.
Somebody said this:" I prayed daily to God for a bicycle, but did not get one. Later I realized prayer doesn't work that way , so I stole a bicycle and prayed to God for forgiveness ".
Though the above lines are bit funny and mischievous , it indicates the state of " pray & get " , and man's attitude when he get a feeling of " ignored ".
Since God interacted with Bible-time-believers in one way or the other , they had faith , and that's quite understandable.
We modern timers , don't have such privileges.
I don't justify the reason for our poor faith on GOD , I just wish HE should interact with HIS special creation " HUMAN ".
I pray to GOD for food when I am hungry , would HE say YES ....or.... NO .....or.....NOT NOW !?!?
Unanswered prayers leads to poor faith.
