Prayers… How many are answered?

So many prayers to be answered

Have you ever wondered, are all prayers answered?

I am sure that everyone has different wishes and wanted God to help out as much as He could.

For me, most of the time, my prayers are answered. I don’t ask for much, just wanting my family and my closest friends to be safe and healthy. Even though occasionally they might fall sick, most of the time they are sound and fine. So I guess, in one way, my prayers are always answered. Are yours?

Now, trying to be a bit more greedy, I want to ask for more. I have a wish, a wish that I really hope God will listen and help me out. It seemed very much impossible to achieve, but none the less it is worth a try.

I know I should be happy with what I have, but being human, is hard to avoid being greedy some time. God, maybe I pray harder, you would help me out? Just for this time…

Tragic, lonely, forgotten…

Leaving all alone, forgottened...

Have you ever felt before, that you are so lonely sometimes; forgotten by everyone else around you, that you aren’t as significant as before? That you are left out alone to rust in the wild without anyone to care about?

Loneliness is  inevitable.

There are many kinds of loneliness, ranging from being lonely because the lack of a soul mate, being lonely because the lack of close friends, being lonely because being apart from our beloved family… It all contributes to the powerful surge of emptiness and solitude... and the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something simple with another person.

But when you look around closely, actually, there are always people who care about us: family, or any friends around us.

It’s easy for us to take granted for those are around us. Maybe it’s time for you to think that people around you are as important to you as to them, and don’t expect too much from what people will do for us, then, you wouldn’t feel that left out.

Or maybe, we would never know how bad the feeling of being really LONELY is – when the world around us stops to care, for real…

Bless us, heaven…

Heaven, bless us all

This is a picture of a mini altar used by the Chinese in Malaysia, so that they can offer joss sticks as a symbol of prayers to god.

Most of us wish for blessings from heavens, ranging from good health and longevity, to wealth and success in work. Isn’t that simple? Some only pray to god when they have trouble in their lives, some don’t even believe in god, and some, would even sacrifice themselves for god. No matter what our believes are, we all hope for one thing, peace and prosperity; and to do good so that we can bring warmth and kindness to all people around us.

The older generations would always wish for blessings from high above, for a simple life; as long as their family and themselves are safe and healthy all the time. What do you wish for the most?
