Express yourself freely to Him, and find comfort in His message
You are strong, but you can be vulnerable too. You can’t avoid sadness and loneliness. You become so defenseless in unseen battles, enemies, and temptations. You become so clueless about what to do, tired of deciding what to say, or burdened enough to carry more load on your back. Sometimes, we are so anxious and uncomfortable with being one that we choose to express it in ways to relieve ourselves. When we feel too much weight, we sometimes alleviate our situations through a task that diverts our attention. When we do so, we unconsciously carry our burdens on the inside, Everything is slowly building up and just waiting to explode…

God can Turn Your Fear Into an Instrument for Your Breakthrough
There were times in your life wherein you fought so hard for something or someone. The battle between you and what surrounds you became an everyday struggle to contest what you believe to what really is happening. There were events in your life where you were ready to sit down and bait for all you’ve got, just thinking about the present and sacrificing all your strength. But when matters turn out to be what we were not so confident to be, we lose our motivation to go on and move on. Sometimes, it is easy to say that life is full of ups and downs, but when matters are where…

Allow God to let you Grow in Places He’ll Put You
Don’t stuff yourself in a place that is too small for you. Don’t force yourself to fit into a position too tight. It would delay your growth. Sometimes, God allows us to choose to let go of things that aren’t for us anymore. It may be because He knows that you’ve grown there already, and you are to be plotted once again in places that will help you develop more. So let God uproot you and allow yourself also to let go. When we are so used to one thing, we sometimes see ourselves settling in as we find comfort there. But if we want to grow, the journey itself…

Declare it often, even when you don’t know what’s happening
We can undeniably tell how unpredictable things are. We visualize our visions, plan great things, and even sort our own future. The itineraries of how our tomorrow would turn out to how we carve by our own self-written destiny. We work hard, make a sacrifice, cry and break until we build ourselves again. Of course, these things are easier said than done. But their in-betweens are our image of how we fail and are shattered from something that brought us more profound than our tears. Humans as we are, we tremble in our own knees when things don’t happen the way we planned them to be. But please do remember…

Acknowledge your weakness, and there, you will discover your strength.
In times of failure, we find ourselves sinking into our own grief. We review and remember ourselves as nothing but a bunch of failures and aches. Our weakness then slowly surfaced and became our image. Little do we know that it becomes how we value ourselves as we acknowledge it so. In moments when everything, we have planned for turns into something we feared most, the very thing we do is to turn away and have the will to move on — or so we think so. Moving on is a symbol of strength, but please don’t forget, along with it is your acknowledgment of your own weakness and that…

Don’t be Afraid to ask Someone to Pray for you
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. – Matthew 18:20 As God’s people, we are meant to declare blessings to others and pray for them. So if you are struggling right now and you badly need help, then look for someone who can pray for you. Do not be afraid because a true Christian loves to pray for his brothers and sisters. Jesus said that two or three gathered in His name, then He will be in the midst. This is how powerful corporate prayer is. Some of our prayer requests are too personal, so you must look for someone that you can…
