Constantly Remind Yourself That God Already Prepared Everything
When things get too overwhelming, you would sometimes lose your grip on that motivation that you used to hold when you start doing one thing. There are times when you eagerly and strategically plan one thing. Along the way, unexpectedly, everything does not turn out how you intend it to be. It can be very frustrating, and you cannot avoid it but lose control of your emotions. Anger would sometimes surge within you and make you utter things that could hurt others. Remind yourself that you are created with emotions, and we all respond to things very differently.
Things could really go out of your control. There is one crucial thing, though, that you are in control of. That is your language and your response to something. Come to think of it, uncontrollable things will only unfold the way they are supposed to. But how you respond to it depends on you. Holding your grip and reminding yourself that God has already prepared everything is essential. Faith does not only work on believing that God is doing something but also trusting that whatever He prepared is fated to happen for your own good. Sometimes, He will do things that are beyond understanding. Things that don’t reveal their real reasons yet. However, with time, you will find yourself growing in His presence.
Whatever God prepared for you is there to help you grow in His glory. Do not be afraid to ask Him for favors and prayers, no matter how small they are for you. He will always find a way to get through to you. He will always surround you with His guidance. When God plans things in your life, it is not only to reveal Himself to you, but He wants to let you know and feel a great love He has for you. Sometimes, as humans, we equate plans to our own definition of good. But remember that God has His own way of defining things. He is wise and understands things beyond any of us.
Remember to be gentle and kind with yourself also. If you cannot reach an expectation or a goal, gently tap yourself and believe everything will work out. It may not be in your favor, but for Him, it will. Bathe yourself with the good words and remind yourself that you are in progress of whatever it is that God is planning for you. Thinking of negative things will only waste your time and will even push you more profound to a pit that God does not want you to be in.
God sees you as His child. He is caring and helps you in many ways. He is giving you the strength that you need for the day. You will sometimes feel disappointed because things are not happening in your favor. But remember that sometimes it is not about how we see things but how God sees them that determines the blessings. You will feel frustrated because, aside from being human, you have your own categories of defining things as blessings or not. That is why do not be afraid of asking God what things are for and what they are trying to teach you. Do not be scared to connect with Him always. Let Him lead you through the lessons that He has prepared for you.
