It says in the bible that we can put anything before God in prayer and he will listen. Does that mean that you can pray for a car park when you’re in a hurry? What about praying for nice weather? What happens if you pray for no rain, but there is a farmer up the road who desperately needs rain? Does God listen to such trivial prayers? Doesn’t he have more important prayers to listen to?
Anyway, after spending the previous day in horribly drab and overcast weather, we prayed for some sunshine.
We woke up and to our disappointment, nothing much had changed. We packed up the van and started driving to the lake, still determined to enjoy it for what it was.
We made it half way along the road to Bled and on the horizon we saw the faintest hint of blue sky just beginning to poke out from behind the cloud. We kept driving and by the time we reached the lake all the cloud and mist had cleared and it was sitting under a perfectly blue and radiant sky.
We parked the car and enjoyed the 6km stroll around the lake, very grateful for the opportunity to see the beautiful Lake Bled in all its resplendent glory.
Who says God doesn’t listen to small and trivial prayers?
