I believe all of us have gone through periods of time whereby things are just not going the way you want it to be. Perhaps in times like these the first thing that comes into our mind is : ''Why is this happening to me?" We start comparing ourselves to others and wonder why must we go through all these. Sometimes we will wonder what if these things didn't happen, wouldn't it makes our lives easier? Worse still, we may even come to a point when we blame God for doing this to us. Perhaps there is only one thing that God want us to do in such circumstances, that is to put our absolute faith and trust in Him alone. "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand under it.'' 1 Corinthians 10:13 It is always human nature for us to worry about things that we cannot see. When things starts to go wrong or go against the way we want it to be, we are not able to overcome it. However, the word of God said it clearly that faith is being certain of the what we cannot see. Faith is the opposite of sight. Perhaps in times where there are things that our mind cannot understand and our eyes cannot see, it is time for us to put our faith into action. These worries and trials are experiences that all of our us have to go through. Perhaps we may face different problems but the bottom line remains the same; that we need to put our faith in God. Personally, from the past week until now, I have been facing setbacks, uncertainties and worries. I spent lots of time being "emo" and in a way, it affected my relationships with others and with God. I'm not able to overcome these. As I look into the mirror, there is only one thing that came into my mind when i saw my own reflection, and that is, "You are so weak!" Until then I realised I have been trying to overcome my problems with my own strength. On that night, I prayed to God that I'll depend on Him alone and He helped me and gave me a way out. This verse kept ringing in my mind: ''For I have plans for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future.'' Jeremiah 29:11 Problems and worries will always be present in our lives. Even now, I'm worrying about something. However, it is up to us how we want to deal with these issues. Do we want to remain "emo" about it or we want to surrender them to God and be joyous? The process of trusting may not be easy but I know for certain that we'll emerge victories and grow even stronger after that. May God help us. Look forward to!: NATIONAL DAY PRAYER DRIVE!
