Dear God, Please give me the strength to hold on to your Promises
This life is not easy, Lord. Many times, I’m easily tempted to give up, especially when I experience pain in life. I am not a superhero who can solve all my problems. But even if I have limitations, I know that I can ask for some strength from you. So this is the cry of my heart. Please teach me how to hold on to your words, especially in the midst of the storm. I just find it so difficult to believe in your promises when negative things surround me. It seems so impossible. But even if I can’t see them yet, please give me the courage to still believe.…

John 19: 26-27
When Jesus Saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “ Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. John 19:26-27, NIV Jesus loved his mother so much that even when He was already crucified on the cross, He was still so concerned with Mary. As she was crying in pain and agony because of what her son experienced, Jesus asked His disciple to take His mother with him. This act of love is indescribable. He didn’t leave His mother alone. Jesus tried to take good…

John 19:17, NIV
Carrying His own cross, he went out the place of the skull ( which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). John 19: 17, nIV Jesus carried the cross that we should’ve carried. He took the blame. He suffered because of our sins. His pain is always bigger than our problems. This doesn’t mean we need to forget what we feel, but we just need to learn how to be grateful because Jesus already carried the cross for us. We may also go through trials, and He may also ask us to carry our cross, but the burden will no longer be that heavy. Because our Savior is always there to help…

John 19:15, NIV
But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered. John 19:15, NIV People wanted to crucify Jesus, not knowing that He was the only One who could save them. He suffered and was tortured because they never recognized Him. Sometimes, we are also like these people in so many ways. We hurt God, not knowing that He is the One who can help us. We tend to blame Him for the bad things that happened and forget to recognize our mistakes. We caused Him pain by following our own desires and…

God may send you the Right People, but it Doesn’t mean you won’t Experience Pain with them
Life is not perfect. There will be pain along the way. If you wanted to align to God because you no longer wanted to encounter heartaches, then it’s time to accept the truth that as long as you are living here on earth, you will go through pain. And it’s not that people wanted to hurt you. It’s just they are imperfect humans who are also going through so much in life. They are also walking along the healing process, and you need to be patient with them. The right people still have the potential to disappoint and sometimes hurt you. But the good thing is, they will never lead…
