I may not an athlete but casual people always
experience this when they become victors. I don’t generalize, but sometimes in experience;
to be honest I am really “attach” with God when asking for something to grant
me. I really pray hard for it. But when the blessing and the answered prayers
will be conferred to me, I tend to forgot Him. My emotional and ‘state of being
proud’ comes out first rather than thanking the One who gave it to me. When
this became into practice, I thought that this is never been a good idea for a
Christian like me. I put into mind and tell it really to myself that I should
always acknowledge Him; it may be in victor or failure.
Yet somehow with the article, I am really
distress or even amaze when the author expressed that God cheats when someone
wins but the other loses considering that they all ask for it. In a competition
like sports, we all knew that there is only conqueror and the rest are runners
up. With the little faith I have, I believed God answers prayer with Yes, No and
Wait. Well, considering again that the athletes all prayed hard for winning the
competition, only one can be answered by Yes. Okay, automatically, the rest
will be No or Wait. Yet, this doesn’t mean that God don’t hear someone’s prayer
and favour the other. God is just simply showing that if you are being answered
by no maybe it has some other purpose that you should practice more and have
faith. Well, I cannot really tell what God wants for them. He may answer them
with Wait also because if you learn something more about being a runner up or
loser, you will strive harder. And God really wants us to excel more on things
we like. Wait, because we need to be patient, keep on asking, knocking, and
seeking. After all, God must be pleased.
In addition, players don’t necessarily pray
just to win and conquer. Even I am never been an athlete, I knew these people
always ask for guidance and protection. One good example is Manny Pacquiao. :)
