Leia Learns to Blog

While reading Anne’s blog, I came across a post about Our Lady of Manaog and the power of prayers. I was so touched by the message she shared:

There may be times when we feel like all of our prayers are left
unanswered, but sooner or later we tend to realize that we get what’s
best for us at the very right time. So just have faith and do the right
things.

Though I don’t pray to any Saint in particular, I still believe in the power of prayers.  I believe that if I pray to the Lord sincerely and ever so faithfully, one day He will answer.

Six years ago, I used to pray for something. I wanted it sooo bad that I would pray for it everyday. There was even a time that I cried inside the UST Chapel. At that time I felt so betrayed, why can’t He just grant a simple wish??? I thought God didn’t want to grant my wish, so I just gave up. I learned to let go of the things I can never control. Recently, I think He answered my prayer. It may not matter now as much as it would matter 6yrs ago. But the important thing is He made me believe in the power of prayers again. I realized that it has been a long time since I last prayed to Him with much faith. And yes, it really uplifted my spirit… now I can look back at past experiences with a smile knowing that all my prayers were not wasted efforts.
