Loving Father, Please Remind Me That I Am Not Alone
Lately, I’ve been going through a series of pains that greatly challenged my faith. I don’t know where to start, and I don’t have any clue what’s really going on. I just knew that I was not okay, and something inside was bothering me. Every time I try to face all these uncertainties on my own, I can’t help but wonder why I feel like I am the only human being in this world. The people around me looked so happy and successful. They put smiles on their faces, and it seems like they don’t have any problems at all. But here I am, struggling for something that I don’t…

Rejection is real. Failures will be there. You will get discouraged. But it doesn’t mean your goals will also end. The pain may not be easy to bear, but you need to keep moving.

Trusting God is not that Easy, but it’s the Best Thing that you can do
Trust is not that easy to give. It only exists because of consistency and deep relationship. It’s not something that you can find around the corner. It’s something that you can only give the moment you feel safe and loved. And the sad truth is, this world is broken. We will experience moments of pain that will lead us not to trust and love again. This is the reason why trusting other people or even God is not that easy. Believing that He will never fail us takes a lot of faith. We can’t help but doubt because we constantly go through difficulties and problems. We find it hard to…

God is Alive and Still Moving
Painful tragedies, sudden death, uncontrollable disasters, poverty, corruption, and many more. These are the things that pushed some of us to believe that maybe God is sleeping because He allowed these bad situations to happen. Maybe He is not there because people are still suffering. Maybe He doesn’t care because innocent human beings are still going through traumatic experiences. We find it so easy to conclude that God no longer cares. We base our faith in Him according to what we go through and what we see in our environment, but faith is not like that. It exists even if you can see bad things around you. In fact, you…

Accepting the Pain Doesn’t Always mean Feeling Better about it
Sometimes, pain’s message and purpose are louder than the pain itself. When you get a bruise or physical wound, automatically, you will respond by remedying it. However, when your heart and soul get wounded, its cause is not always clear. You need to go to your deeper state and have to be willing to be involved in the process of diving in. But know that, you will not dive on it alone. Do not worry, for no matter how deep it might be, God can always pull you up to the surface. He just wants you to see the reasons for yourself. He wants you to know how the pain…

God knows why it Hurts
Your tears are meaningful to God simply because He knows the stories behind them. So if you think that nobody cares for you, then remember your Heavenly Father. He knows what you are going through. He is aware of the exact reasons behind your deepest wounds. You are not alone. God understands you. In fact, He knows you better than you know yourself. You may ask why it hurts so much, but He holds the answer. If you think you can no longer handle the pain, then cry it out to God, and He will give you the comfort and assurance you need. Stay in His arms and let His…

Sometimes, there’s beauty in being alone
There will be moments when you need to be separated from a group of people to be alone with your own thoughts. You might feel different and strange that you seem to be facing your seasons by yourself, unlike some people you know. Alone may sound lonely, but there’s beauty in it. It is not always sad. It could be a gift and a chance to know more about yourself. It could be the season to understand yourself better, be more patient with your mistakes, and learn from life. Sometimes, you can find the answers in moments of silence and peace. Being separated from the rest does not mean you’re…

You can be alone with God
In a life full of choices, you would sometimes feel lost on what to take and what not to. You would like to experience different things in life and try to find happiness in it. You try one thing and then shift to another when things don’t work out well. You also realize that it seems like you are chasing an eternal race, like the moments when you notice that you have been in the motion for so long and nothing seems to be changing. It could be overwhelming and exhausting. There will be moments when you feel like life has neglected you. The time will come that you will…
