Novel & Cerita God Answered My Prayer

hikbi ko, at parang gusto ko nalang umiyak dahil pakiramdam ko nabigo ko siya. “I’m happy..” sagot niya. “E bakit ka humahagulhol diyan?!” naiiyak ko ng tanong ulit sakaniya. “I… i just… i didn't expect that God answered my prayer right now. I always wanted to have a baby girl. And now, you gave me one. Thankyou Eve. Thankyou so much!” hagulhol pa ni Magnus at yumakap siya sakin.

I replied and finally turned around to walk towards my table. I am not really a person who goes to church and prays to God. I always pray in my room—o kahit saan, basta ako lang mag-isa. Kapag may problema ako, masaya, may gustong makuha o kapag naging successful ako—kasama ko Siya palagi sa kahit anong pangyayari ng buhay ko. Hindi ako kailanman nakalimot sa kanya. So, I don't really believe those people saying that going to church is the only way to connect with God—it wasn't how it works, especially these days?

"Haist! Ang yayaman niyo nga, pero ang dami niyo namang problema. Mabuti na lang pala at ipinanganak akong mahirap. Pero marami pa rin naman akong dapat na ipagpasalamat." "Does God have favouritism?" "Baka kulang ka lang sa dasal at pananampalataya." "That night, I prayed so hard..." Napasulyap si Hardhie kay Amira nang makarinig ito ng mahinang hikbi. "Hindi ka naman umiiyak, 'di ba?" "Bakit? Bawal ba rito sa sasakyan mo?" "Oo!" Hinarap ulit niya si Hardhie at pinukol ito ng matalim na tingin. "Tatawagan ko si Macoy."

Noong nakatayo na kami, sumenyas sa akin si daddy na ako ang mag-lead ng prayer. I took a deep breath and nodded, realizing that this was something I could do. As we gathered in the living room, I closed my eyes and began to speak, my voice trembling. "Lord our God, You are great and almighty. We come to You with humble hearts, pleading for Your mercy. Please keep Poppy safe from all harm and bring her back to us safely. We're lost without her. She's the light of my life, and I can't imagine a world without her. Give her strength, wherever she is. And give us the strength to keep hoping, to keep believing that she'll come back to us.”

Of course, we prayed to God for the blessings of food, life, and everything. Roma was leading the prayer so I opened my eyes and looked at my little family. Hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti habang pinapanood ang mag-ama kong nakapikit habang taimtim na nagdadasal sa Diyos para sa agahan namin at sa panibagong taon ng buhay ko. Thank you so much, God Almighty.

Naghintay siyang baka may tatanga-tangang hindi makakita sa kanya doon. Mukhang agad namang dininig ng langit ang gusto niya dahil tanaw niyang may humarurot na sasakyan papunta sa kanyang dereksiyon. Pumikit siya at naghintay... Patawad po sa lahat ng mga kasalanan ko, Lord. I'm sorry pero hindi ko alam kung paanong mabubuhay na wala si Gab...kunin Niyo nalang po ako. Pasensiya na at 'di ko na matutupad promise ko sa Inyong e-increase ko ang donation ko sa simbahan. H-hindi Niyo naman po kasi ako binigyan na abisong papatayin niyo na si Gab...

Nawala na naman tuloy sa isip ko ang tanungin siya tungkol sa librong ‘yon. I just nodded at him. “Okay, let me try if this is really delicious…” I was ready to get my share when Cristoff gently patted my hand. “Hey, we have to pray first.” Cristoff told me. I must admit… I got ashamed on what I did and for that, I remembered my mom again. My mom always taught me to pray — pray when you woke up, pray when you were dealing with problems, pray to thank the Lord, pray when going outside, pray when eating your food and pray before you sleep. But living with Dad changed everything. Living with hell made me forget that I used to thank the Lord for all of my blessings.

"Maniwala lang po tayo, mom. Mangyayari po 'yon. Maniwala lang po tayo. Hindi po tayo bibigyan ng Panginoon." "Yeah, tama ka sa sinasabi mo. God will never fail us. We should trust Him no matter what happens. God is so good. He loves us." "Amen to that, mom." He smiled widely as he looks at the screen where he can see his mom clearly. "Kailan pa pala uuwi?" tanong ni Divina kay Richard kung kailan ito uuwi.

Dahil dinantay nito ang dalawang daliri sa kaniyang labi. "Nothing to worry about my tears, my dear Aries Dale Harden. I'm just happy that my prayer was answered. Because since I know the meaning of love I prayed to Him that the person I love will love me back. He gave and answered my prayers. He sent you to love me back, Aries Dale. God will forgives me on this. Because I know it's forbidden and it was in the Holy Ten Commandments not to commit adultery. But the truth is I love you too, my dear Aries Dale." Umiiyak siya habang tumatawa.

Thank you po! I smiled when I felt happiness in my heart, nothing compared to your relationship with God. I received a lot of greetings but I didn't receive anything from him, baka tulog pa... I sighed and gave my self a positive thoughts. It's our birthday, hindi dapat magpaapekto sa kung ano man.
