Seek God’s Wisdom
Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe. Proverbs 28:26, NIV Before I met God, I often made decisions on my own. I made plans for myself and failed to consider other people. I trusted my own timeline. There are even times when I feel disappointed whenever my goals or expectations aren’t met. I wanted everything to be in control, and it led me to a lot of frustrations. After that, I realized that I had failed to acknowledge God throughout the process. I listened to my own voice instead of consulting Him. I chose to rely on my own understanding. I…

How to Surrender the Pain?
This is one of the hardest questions I ever asked myself. When the wounds are so deep and they are still fresh, you will be tempted to think that healing is no longer possible. Sometimes, it feels like it’s the end of the world. Darkness, hopeless future, emptiness, and life without meaning – these are just few of the things you need to deal with. This is the reason why it seems so hard to surrender the pain. But then, the good news is that Jesus did it first, and we can absolutely follow Him. When He was on the cross, he was in pain and suffering. He was heavily…

The unspoken thoughts of A Wounded Heart: Day 4
Dear God, I just remembered a painful memory. It was when I felt so alone as a kid. There was this season in my childhood days when I was forced to grow up so that I could take good care of others. I need to forget about playing or having fun with my friends. I need to stand up and fight my own battles, without having any support. I never thought how painful it was not until I experienced what it felt like to be a child again. All along, I was carrying this memory as if it’s part of my identity. Father, I know that you have a reason…

We Need To Learn How To Deal With Gossips
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to the inmost parts. Proverbs 26:22, NIV Sometimes, people find satisfaction in spreading news that could potentially hurt others. They somehow label it as satisfying and entertaining. This is a sad truth that many of us experienced. We will meet someone who likes to talk about other people’s mistakes or weaknesses. And maybe, they think that it was normal and not really a big deal, but let’s wait until they also experience the same thing. Only then will they realize how painful it is. According to the book of Proverbs, the words of gossip are like choice morsels;…

May you have the Courage to Choose what Matters most in the End
This world will present to you so many aspects that you need to prioritize, and the challenge is, how will you be able to choose the right priorities? Your decision-making abilities will be tested along the way. You will encounter situations that will make you realize the things that you value in life. And when you are in the middle of the storm, God will slowly open your eyes to the things that you treated as important, but in reality, it will lead you to destruction. That’s why it takes a courageous heart to accept the truth that we sometimes choose the wrong priorities. It takes humility to acknowledge God’s…

Dear God, Please comfort those who are Crying in Silence
I may not know their names Lord, but I pray that you will continue to touch their hearts. Make them more sensitive of your presence. Open their eyes and heart so that they can welcome your healing. Give them a humble heart to accept your ways. They may not understand what’s going on in their lives, but I pray that your grace will continue to sustain them until they overcome this season. People don’t see them, Lord. Only you know the real condition of their hearts. They may find it hard to describe the pain inside, but I pray that you will give them the assurance that they need. Please…
