Pray and believe and it shall be done

But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double minded man, unstable in all he does.
James 1: 6-8


30th May 2007, night

Ask and you will receive. I am ashamed and guilty that I often asked with little confidence and true conviction that I will receive. But God is good. He had never disappointed me. Nevertheless, the lesson of ‘Praying with faith’ is one that I must learn.

All the children, the staffs in the orphanage, the congregation in Prey Veng Christian Centre (PVCC) and the Methodist church (Prey Veng), my brothers and sisters from Emmaus EFC, Bedok Methodist church and many who care were all praying for me – for my haemoglobin to rise to a surgery safety level i.e from 8.2g/dL to 12g/dL and above.


“We are all praying for you”
“It’s not possible. It would be a miracle if it happens.”
“Siewlee, we are all praying for you, believing that Jesus loves you and He will cause your haemoglobin to rise. We are praying and believing that it will happen. How could you not believe and doubt what God can do for you?”

I was ashamed. I had actually doubted what my loving and mighty God would and could do for me.

“Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.” Mark 11:23

Then on, I prayed with my whole heart, really believing that my Lord will perform the miracle. He did.


My prayer life changed. I used to pray with words, now I learned to pray with my heart.

If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer – Matthew 21: 22

Though my reason for prayer is different from yours, I'm encouraged that your heart prays with faith now. I have made a mistake with overdrafting fees and it's alot for me being a college student. Money is necessary and giving it away to the bank for mistakes just doesnt seem fair. Yes I'm human and made a mistake but I have faith that God will restore my fault and help me. I believe with faith and I'm so happy that the Lord raised your level up for safety. He will not fail us. Faith is the one thing that pleases the Lord-without it, we cannot please God. (Hebrews 11:6) So again, I am encouraged to believe more for the Lord to fix my stupid mistake and restore all for HIS glory and I'm glad that your safe and the Lord blessed you with a miracle. Praise Him and give Him the glory! Be blessed!

There are some home remedies that have proved useful for those
that suffer with the indignity of warts, like:Take a cotton ball, moisten it with
apple cider vinegar, place the cotton on the wart, and then wrap the area in medical tape.
For whichever case, that skin tumor needs to be eliminated
before there is emotional and physical scarring.
Forget all the claims that you hear and read about online.
