WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR PRAYERS IN HEAVEN?

Compiled by some of us who spent time in the slammer!

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, "This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received."

 

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

 

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

 

The angel then said to me, "This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them." I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

 

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. "This is the Acknowledgment Section," my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed.

 

"How is it that there is no work going on here? " I asked.

 

"So sad," the angel sighed. "After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments."

 

"How does one acknowledge God's blessings? " I asked.

 

"Simple," the angel answered. Just say, "Thank you, Lord."

 

"What blessings should they acknowledge?" I asked.

 

"If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy."

 

"And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity."

 

"If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day."

 

"If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world."

 

"If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are envied by, and more blessed than three billion people in the world."

 

"If your parents are still alive and still married...you are very rare."

 

"If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you're unique to all those in doubt and despair......."

 

Ok, what now? How can I start?

 

If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

I have been out of work for over three years and have done everything to make myself employable from going to college, technical school and even getting my Class A license all to no avail. However, I keep my head up high and trudge on. I say this to those who complain about this RV, RD, LOP, OCD, AADD, ABC, XYZ. If you are struggling quit your whining. And to those wondering how I have made this far, I had a wonderful father who I was able to work with in order to start my own business. He passed this August. However, my contracts ended when the companies found out I was in prison! So get off your pity parties and move on.org! If you are struggling you are far better off than I am - your employable! So get out there and flip burgers! I now pick-up cans on the side of the road. Have a nice day and oh yeah to the believers on this site don't forget to acknowledge your blessing! God's waiting.

Thank You Sir! Though I try to acknowledge the Lord and his Blessings it still helps to be reminded that what some consider little to others could be the world. Thanks again,and good luck.

Everything in the Middle east affects the dinar

This possible war with Iran is a reelection war for Obama, he is grabbing for anything he can to be reelected and that makes him very dangerous. He has nothing to run on that is positive

Great post Gee....God bless you.

I don't have a clue how that quote from another thread got into my reply on this thread, lol.

Point well made! I came out of unemployment early this year with only God's help, no one will ever tell me otherwise. I thanked Him many times throughout my ordeal and still do.

Thanks Delta22 for your prayers. And bamagirl thanks. Cosmo, I paid my unemployment taxes for my business, however, I never used it! Probably should have. I just thought I would have found a job!

I know someone who spent 10 years in prison. He is now a technician making $80,000 a year. DON'T GIVE UP!! Anything is possible. Some companies care more about what you CAN do, than what you have done in the past.
