Third Day Syndrome?
Luke 24:21
"but we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since.."
Spiritual lust makes me demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Who gives the answer. What have I been trusting God would do? And today - the immediate present - is the third day, and He has not done it; therefore I imagine I am justified in being dejected and in blaming God. Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.

I heard you were religious. Came across your blog. Like you I also love the sayings in the holy scriptures. My favourite being the psalms and King David. So when are you going to come up with that on your blog? I hope you do but I am not sure whether I will be coming to your blog again though.haha anyways keep it up ! =)
it's true that GOd answers prayers..but the problem is..we are not with GOd..we just pray when we face problem...we just pray when we need something from him.
