Some of His greatest gifts are unanswered prayers!
God knows your "true needs" and your desires.
Pray and then leave it God's hands,trusting that He will do what He knows is best for you!
He doesn't work on our time schedules and sometimes He lets things happen in order to open our eyes and hearts. ( Just like we have a schedule God also does have one :) )
Sometimes the answer isn't the one we had hoped for but it is the answer He knows will be beneficial to us

In our darkest hours he is there. When we feel alone he is always as close as your heartbeat.
When we are ready to give up, we seldom know or think about the how much worse fate he kept us safe from, letting us deal with lesser problems while he handles the greater.
Maybe a man lurking in the bushes you never knew about, was turned away by God to keep you safe, or He changed the heart of a bill collector to give you more time to pay despite threatenings. We never know how God steered us away from death.
The things he keeps us from, we are seldom aware of. So listen - when it is the darkest, he's always there. When we feel alone he is only a heartbeat away.

Sometimes one think if it seems like God isn't listening, it means we aren't listening.
You probably aren't happy because you aren't doing what God wants with your life.
This could mean you are with the wrong person, doing the wrong job, or that you are ignoring some type of calling into Spiritual service.
God isn't responsible for all the bad things that happen to us in life, a A big part of being a Christian is personal responsibility. Count your blessings and quit feeling sorry for yourself. Take control of your life, make decisions and follow through, see things through until the end.
Pray hard, play hard, and enjoy life, no matter how bad things are for you, there are many who have it much worse in this world.
Count your blessings, name them all, know them, and be thankful for them.
It would also help you to identify your spiritual talents, your God-given talents. Utilize them to do something that makes you happy in life.

Pray, pray, pray! Don't forget that God loves you very much. He could never forget you. But you are here on this earth to learn and grow. The best way to learn is by experience. Bad things happen, and they happen to everybody. The testing point is how you answer these challenges.

Prayer is many things, but most importantly, it is communication with the Almighty.
This means it is conversation, not a monologue. When we pray, we need to try to spend more time listening than talking ... I figure God knows more than I do, so He should have the bulk of the time to do the talking :)
Bow to Sri Sai - Raksha Karo Deva !!!

Prayer must be offered in good times as well as bad times. If we don't pray during the good times, I don't believe we will be able to pray effectively during the bad times. Prayer is not a shopping list to be presented only in time of want. Prayer should be sent with our needs and the needs of others. God knows what we need even before we pray and He will provide for those needs when we need them and not always when we want them.

Prayer is just like a telephone call, that's it just a telephone call between you and God. What would you say to God if he called you on the phone tommorrow. Some people might think this is a one way conversation, but God is actually talking to us as well. You just have to listen.
As for it being more then a conversation. If you pray full heartedly you will see that God seems to relax you and gives you renewed strength through prayer

GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!
yes he is all powerful but he loves us and desperately wants us to talk to him!!!
So dear all open your hearts and talk to our dear Sai Ram

Some times while reading Satcharitha we might have thought or a question must have come to our mind Why did Sai Baba pray to God - Allah as he said , if he himself was a god?
** To teach us the importance of that communication ..( to having a loving communication with god)
** He wanted to show the people to first have guru shishya or master disciple relationship with God and then become one with God. He wanted His devotees to get self-realization

We are part of a creation by something so great and omnipresent. We are all in this school of conscience called Earth. In here we all learn by our actions and deeds. We have been given this greatest gift, free will.

God loves to hear us talking to Him, just like a father delights when his children come to him asking him things.
God listens to our prayers because He loves us.
-
Meditating on the Divine changes us; gives us compassion...teaches us to listen with our hearts & not our ears..
Bow to Sri Sai - Raksha Karo Deva !!!

Praying doesn't always mean getting on your knees, crying and begging God. Praying is talking to God, worshiping Him, communicating with Him.
God delights in our worship and praise. He wants us to come to Him with all our problems. He is our Heavenly Father.
Just like you would talk to your children, teach them, discipline them, give them things, do things with them....that is what God wants to do with us. He wants to be involved in our every day life. Not just on Sundays and when we need help.

Hi Shammi,
I agree with what you said. Sometimes with all the stress we ask for something that we think will make us feel better. But in reality it won't. I know because I did that. I asked for a sign and Sai Baba gave me one. It wasn't easy to process, in fact I was quite hurt, but I learned from it. When I prayed to Sai Baba I didn't ask him to keep my feelings in consideration or to please make it be nice. I know that Sai Baba only gives me what I can handle. I have complete faith.

God may delay prayer when he will not deny it,
because he sees we are not yet fit for the mercy we ask. Perhaps we
pray for deliverance when we are not fit for it; our scum is not yet
boiled away. We would have God swift to deliver, and we are slow to
repent.
God may delay to answer prayer, that the mercy we pray for
may be more prized, and may be sweeter when it comes. The longer the
merchant's ships stay abroad, the more he rejoices when they come
home laden with spices and jewels; therefore be not discouraged, but
follow God with prayer. Though God delays, he will not deny.

Our God may delay answering, but His delays always have good reasons with our welfare in mind. No matter what trials we face it is comforting to know that we are not alone. Our father Sai baba is always with us
Bow to Sri Sai - Raksha Karo Deva !!!

God delays the answer for a certain while, because he's a good God and he knows that in order for you to become the person he wants you to be, you may need exactly what you're asking for. He may alredy have it on the rail, ready to send your way, but he cannot and he will not, until you are in a position spiritually to receive it.
So one of the reasons he causes a delay is in order to get us to surface things in our life that are not right, to deal with them so that you and I can enjoy what God wants to give us.
There are some things that I believe all of us ask for in life that God delays because he knows if he gave them at that specific time in our frame of mind, we would make the biggest mess of things
imaginable, so he delays.
SO Let thy will prevail oh Lord !!!

OMSAIRAM!Shammi today only i had heard this bhajan Guru Ji declares Tera Bhanna MEETHA LAGGEH.
What YOU HAVE GIVEN US IS SWEET.
Guru Arjun Ji says : TERA BHANNA meetha lageh . ... Again and again GURBANI , tells us that we humans MUST NOT interfere in GOD's PLAN .
SO Let thy will prevail oh Lord !!!
Sai baba let your holy lotus feet be our sole refuge.OMSAIRAM

"GOD'S DELAYS ARE NOT DENIALS"
God's delays are not denials;
He has heard your prayers;
He knows all about your trials,
Knows your every care.
God's delays are not denials,
Help is on the way;
He is watching over life's deals,
Bringing forth the day.
God's delays are not denials,
You will find Him true;
Working through life's darkest trials,
What is best for you.

dear shammiji,
your posts all are seems to be like a bhagawatgeetha - preachings, as i have been exposed to it a little bit, but i agree with all your preachings of god. yes he always wants his children to be a divine soul, refining them from bad occasions & experiences & purifying our soul to learn& grow & helping others.

God is made a prisoner
God resides affectionately in the hearts of the devotees, considering them His own; and He resides in the hearts of the other jivas in a detached way. God is supremely independent, yet His quality of being controlled is that He resides in the hearts of devotees and has possessiveness (mamata) towards them. God is made a prisoner by the loving devotion of His premi-bhaktas. The essence of spiritual knowledge is premabhakti, and the wonderful, confidential secret of prema-bhakti is that Lord becomes controlled by His loving devotees.

OM SAI RAM
Dear Shammiji Sai Ram
Your posts are a total and true experiences of mine. Many matters - personal , official, financial , health - what else can I quote - all respects Baba has proved that what I would feel necessary and pray him it many times happened in the reverse and I would quarrel with Baba a lot and sometimes stopped talking to him. But would within few days learn that I would have been in a big mess had he granted what I would had asked for. Infact, sometimes I told him "no mala this thursday for you" and only on such thursdays I would offer mala with tears of gratefulness.
Thanks a lot for these posts. Infact, I feel you are speaking the hearts of many of us.
Om Sri Sai Ram! Om Sri Sai Ram! Om Sri Sai Ram! Om Sri Sai Ram! Om Sri Sai Ram!
