Are we still raising our hands to ask for what we want?

Hey hey hey,

A new uberbeloved blogger is in town to share his revelation, for this blog belongs to all uberbeloveds.

A contribution to my dearest sister in Heaven!

Well ... the title “raising up your hands and ask”. How easy is that action and how common is that action among people who are filled with questions or requires someone else’s assistance. Since young, we were educated with the notion of “put up your hands first before you ask a question!” or “raise your hands if you need help”

But slowly, as we grow up, we tend to forget that habit or should I say, why bother to raise my hands and wait for someone to help me when I can do it myself? People nowadays always believe that because of the fact that we are “older” now or more ”matured” now, therefore it is only right to be handling out own problems. True? I don’t think so. Name me one person who doesn’t need a helping hand from time to time? Maybe God, but are we? No. Therefore shouldn’t we learn how to humble ourselves and not put it all on our little shoulders?

What I am trying to bring up here is that we tend to be led by our own “wisdom” and “ego” and give up the right to “raise hands” to “ask”. I don’t know whether it’s because we don’t believe that there can be help anymore, we are simply too lazy or we don’t like to show others that we are “weak”.

Well, I was serving in Children’s Church today and a simple revelation came to me. We were handling out snacks and the teacher in charged just announced to the rowdy children: “Children! Raise your hands and wait for the Teachers to serve you. They’ll know what you want when they see your hands”. Hand went around the room and truly, every single one of the child was served, maybe not all at the same time, some got it earlier while some took some time before getting what they want, but they all did.

Something in my heart spoke and it came to be that God has always told us to be “child-like”, like little children. A simple action such as raising up a hand has become so distant to us. Why? Is it because we can get all our problems solved now that we are older? Or is it because we feel ashamed that we need to raise our hands for help? Well, a simple reason could be that maybe we just don’t have that much Faith that our problems will be answered. Maybe we are just afraid of the disappointment of not getting what we ask for.

But didn’t Jesus promised that we just need to have Faith the size of a mustered seed? (O you of little Faith) and He will take care of the rest?

Well, GOOD NEWS for you!!! He has given us such a precious gift. The gift of ---------- raising hands, and all will be handled by him Isn’t that a precious gift?

He didn’t even ask for a lot from you. He just needs you to throw your hands up in the air and go in Faith. And I was so touched by the fact that you know, children will have Faith and know that they will get want they ask for? If they can have faith in Man, how much more would they be trusting the Almighty God?



I realized that He was giving me a lesson in a place where I should be the one teaching. Amazing isn’t it? So for those who might chance upon this, I trust that you have been blessed and remember

- for all things in life, big or small just cast it all to him
- raise your hands and know that He can supply your request, and more abundantly
- just be like a child and know that He will see, hear and care for you no matter how long it will take (He knows the best times to help you)

So happy RAISING! And rise above all Troubles! AMEN! =)



Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.

Luke 11:10
For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
