Why even pray for the haze to dissipate?

Even as the haze covered Singapore for the past few days it was not a priority for me to pray for it to dissipate. After all, it was forecasted that the haze would persist over the next few days or so.

But as I was about to go out this morning, I felt really bothered by the discomfiture or nuisance, if you will, of the ash particles irritating my nostril and decided to get aggressive by calling for divine mercy and intervention.

The upsurge of energy to confront the haze took me by surprise and I received an assurance that somehow the haze would be dealt with – to what degree, I knew not. Nevertheless, it was an uncanny kind of peace which is unexpected but heartfelt.

With mild anticipation of divine intervention to clear up the haze, I went about my errands. By the afternoon as I was heading for church, the haze had dissipated significantly and the sun was shining brightly. All Glory be to God!

For sure, many others had been praying for the haze to dissipate. As for me, it was a real encouragement to see an answered prayer unfold in one afternoon right before my very eyes. That God cares for us and hears our prayers.
