Cruising from Helsinki to Tallinn || How to have a successful prayer life|| Part 1

Why our prayers are not answered

Luke 9:23 and he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.’’

Christianity does not limit in believing in Christ, but yet in putting in practice His teachings.

Talking about prayer, as I have wrote in one of my post earlier,

Prayer is a conversation between us and God. We all have deferent problems, requests and desires. In prayers we talk to God as a Father, who loves sinner, but yet hates sins. It's written in the book of Proverbs 15:8 the sacrifice of the wicked (sinners) is an abomination to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to Him (Note: prayer is also a sacrifice Psalm 141:2)

If you are a believer and a follower of Christ, you pray, but without response from God, these may be reason why your requests are not responded…

The first reason of our prayers not being responded is usually that, we call ourselves Christians, but we are not in communion with Christ. We want to be blessed but we don’t want to pay the price of carrying our cross.

Jesus said in John 15:7 if you remain in me and my words remain in you ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

If you want to have a successful prayer life; you have to first have a good relationship with God through Jesus Christ by accepting Him as your Lord and saviour. Secondly you have to live a sanctification life by following and respecting the teachings of Jesus Christ. It's simple as that.

In real life we ask things from people we know, from people we are in good relation with. Why then asking God if you know that you are not living a sanctification life. Don’t except Him to answer your prayers if you consciously know that you are living a sinful life. God is love as we love to say, and He’s always ready to receive these who decide to come back to Him. That’s why if we are living in sins, but however we feel like coming back to Him, then we shouldn’t ask about anything else than just the forgiveness and mercy of God upon our sins. As it’s written in the book of 1 John 1:9 ‘’If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.’’

Now the Question is here, you are asking God for blessing, but are you doing the things He's asking you to do? If yes glory be to God. If not, may God help you doing He's will in the name of Jesus, amen!

Some of us may say, ‘’I do the will of God, but yet my prayers are not answered.’’ Don’t worry just stay tuned for part 2. There’s few reasons left.

Oh btw if your are still reading, the pictures above are from the boat trip I went with my cousins and their friend. We had lots of fun in the boat and in Tallinn.

Be blessed and thank you for stopping by!

White Lace- / Bodycon dress || The real peace is in the truth

Family and friends can deceive, spouse can betray, but there 's one guy Who lives in heaven, knocking outside the door of your  heart, waiting for you to open so that He may enter and live for ever. And that Guy, trust me  will never ever fail  you.  Read John 14:6 to find out who that Person is.

Outfit: Lace Dress & Neon Dress H&M

He came to send sinners to repentance not to Hell!

The Love of God for me is greater!

I do not longer live for people but for Christ, who is my Lord and savior. I'm far away of being perfect, but I do try my very best to please Him in all I do. If I say to you I'm 100% holy, bro I'm lying. but every time I recognize myself as a sinner and ask for forgiveness He's faithful and just to forgive me. I love Him for that! One thing I know for sure, He died on the cross of Golgotha to justify me of my wrongdoings. 

I'm wearing a Nelly.com Dress, a faux fro puff on my hair and the rest are radoms.

Be a full-time Believer // Casual spring/Summer look

Christianity is not a religion, but a full-time job and a life style (we will rest in Heaven). I know this sound cliché, something you have already heard about. I'm still reminding you that God is God in all circumstances and in all seasons, not just in winter. I know summer is around the corner and we all want to have the best summer of our lives, but let that not stop you of being a woman/man of God that you are. Again you can still have a nice and fun summer with your clothes on. So don't use summer as an excuse to expose your body. your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit!
The Skirt I'm wearing is from Seppälä, the top is from Gina Tricot and shoes are Keds. I have tights on, because I'm in Finland and it's still a bit cooler here, but I believe that you should be fine without.

Jesus Christ Loves you just the way you are!

Bodycon dress / Lace weste || Modesty ≠ Boring!

Modesty does not equal Boring.

Rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn (cry) with those who mourn. There shouldn't be nothing wrong with having fun as long as the name of the Lord is not offended.  For a bday party I was invite  to last saturday, I worn an H&M dress, Sheinside Lace Blouse, Vercace for H&M Bag, Zara Shoes and Kaleva Koru (a Finn jewelry's designer) bracelet. Other than that,  keep it bless. I Know I have been off for a will, but thank you for your love...I'm in the processe of learning the things of God as well, but hope to get back as soon as possible...

People are free to dress the way the want to, but children of God dress the way God wants them to dress. ''You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.'' Galatians 5:13

Eating well is the will of God as well!
