Making a Way For Me

Does God answer prayers? Certainly.

I have just witnessed God answering many seemingly simple but sincere prayers of many people over the past 2 weeks.

One of the prayers answered has been mine.

I have been wanting to start a business for quite a few years now. Although I am a University graduate, I took no business papers and have no business management work experience. One of the biggest obstacles to me starting up the business was a sheer lack of practical business skills.

On top of that, I have been struggling with a major dose of doubt...Is there a market for what I want to do? Is anyone going to want to pay? Yada, yada. As soon as I overcame one doubt, another equally strong one would appear.

So I did nothing. There seemed to be no way for me to proceed.

Until February 2010. Now. I guess I had a good look at myself over the Christmas holidays and decided that I had stalled enough. It was "Do it!" and even if I had to fail, at the very least I would have learnt from the experience.

When I made that decision in my heart to press on with the business idea, miraculously, God started opening doors...one door, and another door, and yet another door...until I had so many open doors that I had to be careful what to say "Yes" to and "No" to. It was as if God was making a way for me where there had been none before for me to walk on.

I'm still tingling from seeing God's Hand at work in this. I am praying that He will continue to guide and provide.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." Matthew 7:7-8.
