Ngunit tunay akong dininig ng Diyos, sa aking dalangin, ako ay sinagot.

Mga Awit 66:19

 Naranasan mo na bang makipag-online meeting pero naka-offcam ‘yung kausap mo? ‘Yung salita ka nang salita pero off-video at muted silang lahat? Hindi mo alam kung nandiyan at nakikinig ba talaga sila. It happens. Nag-“join meeting” si friend pero kaya pala hindi nagbubukas ng camera is because she’s busy doing something else. Sa online classes, pinapag-recite ni teacher ang estudyante, pero walang sumasagot. ‘Yun pala, nago-online games o di kaya’y nakatulog na. It’s frustrating ‘di ba?

Some of us also feel that way kapag may hinihingi tayo kay God at ang tagal Niyang sumagot. Ilang taon mo nang pinagpe-pray ang isang bagay pero parang walang nangyayari. Pakiramdam mo tuloy, wala talaga Siya sa harap mo at busy Siya sa ibang bagay? Is He really is listening?

Let’s find assurance from the testimony of the writer of Psalm 66:19. Sabi niya, “Tunay akong dininig ng Diyos, sa aking dalangin, ako ay sinagot.” God is listening to our prayers, and He is orchestrating things and situations in our favor. Huwag nating akalain na wala Siyang ginagawa, dahil sa totoo, ay meron. God cares for us and will answer our prayers in His perfect time. Kalma lang, kapit lang!

So, the next time you pray to God, don’t think that His camera is turned off and His mic is muted. Remember that God sees and hears you. He will never leave the meeting and go offline.
