It has always been a struggle, having that confidence in prayers AND at the same time the eerily-nagging knowledge that God has the final say. Like the almost-guaranteed, already-in-the-process kinda things, how wise is it to think outrightly that they will surely come to pass(because God is good, gracious and generous, His blessings are abundant, His mercies are enduring) to the extent that they are casually brushed off in prayers. And then sporadically be reminded that, who are we to even start with, to have such bold assumptions? Ahh, how frustrating! It's by God's grace that we Christians don't go crazy, debating within our inner beings. Me - at least (i think) am still sane.
A whole lot of biblical verses can be thrown out to counter those two different stands or views or whatever conflicting debatory issues you wish to call it. But nothing beats practical claims. How 'amusing' it is I find that that very previous night i went humbly in prayers, a little more fervent than my usual lie-face-up-on-my-bed-having-a-casual-pillow-talk-with-God-just-before-dozing-off, the very next day my visa was granted and a friend updated me with her apt hunt success. Oh, and timing is just right too with brother coming back for weekend then i can follow him up to kl. Haha.. now i can have a smilingly pillow talk with God =]
