Worship In The Midst Of Suffering
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose. Acts 16: 25:26, NIV Paul and Silas were suffering in prison when they experienced a supernatural move from God. In the midst of discomfort and darkness, they chose to pray and worship God. They didn’t focus on the negative things that they went through. Instead, they set their eyes on Him and chose to praise Him. What they did became a source…

Worship won’t always Solve the Problem, but it gives you so much Peace and Courage
You can never control the circumstances that you will experience. You never really know what lies ahead. Sometimes, life will throw challenges that are too heavy to carry.

Always Praise God no matter what Situation you are In
It is hard to bring our hearts to God when burdens become too heavy for us to carry. It becomes so hard for us to utter a word or two when all we can do is cry. There will be times in our lives when our burden becomes so overwhelming. We get lost and feel so broken as we do not know how to remove ourselves from a very uncomfortable and heavy feeling. Yet, one thing that stays with us is the greatness of God, even in the most unexpected things in life. Yes, He is still tremendous and mighty even though our situation bothers us so much. Let us…

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…

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…

I’ll Raise my hands because God helped me Stand
I know that I will never be here without God. He is the reason why I am still alive. There are days when I want to give up and leave everything behind, but He never fails to remind me who I am in His eyes. I saw myself as a failure. Every time I commit mistakes, I can’t help but feel so frustrated and disappointed about what I did. I blame myself for everything that happened to me. That’s why, when I encounter problems, I tend to carry so many regrets and pain. But little did I know, God was already moving. While I was crying in silence, He was…

I’ll Choose To Praise You Even If It Hurts
When the pain is just so deep inside, I know that singing hymn of praise is very challenging. When I am so down, and I wanted to cry out, I just lift up my hands and surrender to Him everything. I know that praising Him is not easy, especially when it hurts inside, but it is the best thing to do when I’m so empty and hopeless. I can’t think of any other solution but simply to lift His name even in brokenness. It reminds me of the great things that God can do in my life. It is a powerful act of faith that simply means that I trust…
