"Bakit Hindi Sinasagot Ng Diyos Ang Aking Mga Dalangin? "

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 22, 2020

Doble kaming nagdasal, napakahirap, nang walang anumang mga resulta. Mayroong malaking katiyakan na naririnig niya ang bawat panalangin. Ginawa niyang maganda ang lahat sa oras nito. Kung mas mahaba ang isang panalangin, naantala, mas perpekto itong darating sa wakas.

“Bakit hindi sinasagot ng Diyos ang aking mga dalangin? " “Kaya't sinasabi ko sa iyo, magtanong, at ito ay bibigyan sa iyo; maghanap, at makikita mo; kumatok, at ito ay mabubuksan sa iyo. ” (Lucas 11: 9) Manalangin kami, ngunit walang mga sagot. Doble ...read more
