Years passed without any positive development in my life. I reached the point when I began to resent God and no longer asked any favors from him. It seemed that every time I asked for a good thing, more bad things came my way.
But one day, God heared my cry. He sent people into my life who shared with me the same message about the Lord. First was Vanie, someone I met while I was scouting for a place for my squid ball cart. I had a chat with him and was enlightened with what he told me about the will of the Lord. Vanie told me, “Ask god what he wants for you. It should be His decision, not yours, that should prevail.
The other guy is Elmer, whom I met when I attended a Life in the Spirit seminar given by the Lord’s Flock. It was one of the lowest times of my life and whenever he gave me advice, I experienced a sense of peace. Elmer echoed what Vanie said. “What God wants will happen, Benjie, not what you want, he said.
So I began to pray with God’s will in mind. Before making decisions, I would ask Him what He thought about it, God, do you want me to have this job? Do you want me to go there? Do you like me to have this? Praying that way taught me not to rely on my own judgement but to seek his wisdom.
