We often face challenges that bring us to our knees
but rest assured that we are in the best position to pray. We may be troubled,
worried, anxious, questioned, put to the test, lost and tempted so this leads
us to become weak, helpless and sometimes hopeless. It's hard to overcome a
struggle when you feel like there's no hope. You may feel mixed emotions, have
doubts, incapable, impossible and you think there's no other way out. It is
only in God's hand where we can feel at peace, full of hope and unlimited love.
We can always run to God for help, for guidance, for strength, for mercy, for
forgiveness and for trust. We stumble and fall but God is there to carry us
through it all.
Here's something I want to tell my old weak self
especially in times when it doesn't make sense or when times get rough.
Hold on, Trust God.. Cry hard, Smile harder..
Let go, Move on.. Surrender, Pray hardest! Be strong, God is in control!
>>>>> Hold on, Trust God.
I know you're in a very tough situation but remember
that God always has a plan for you. It is a plan so great that you won't
realize it now but soon you will. Keep holding on to His promises for they are
sure like the sunrise. Hold on to Him by placing all your cares or worries upon
Him. Do not worry nor be afraid for He knows what He is doing. Submit to Him
and surrender for it will be the fulfillment of His plan for you! Place your
hope and trust in Him. All is well. Everything will be alright. Just hold on
and trust God!
>>>>> Cry hard but Smile
harder.
Crying is a therapeutic act that cleanses our soul
and sets us free from whatever that is bothering us. There's a saying:
"Our visions become clear when our eyes have been washed away with
tears." Crying may not be the solution to a certain problem but it can
release you from carrying the burden. Crying is not a sign of weakness but a
strength wherein you cry out to the One Most High and allowing His will be done
in your life. Never be afraid to cry and to admit that you are weak for in that
way, you are allowing God to be your strength for you to face your struggle and
to heal you of your brokenness. And when you have cried it all out then learn
to smile for you to leap an extra mile. Show your sweetest smile and make them
wonder why. Remember, it's ok to cry hard but after that just smile harder!
>>>>> Let go, Move on.
Learn to let go, allow God to take over then move on.
It's called a struggle that you overcome not a struggle that you dwell on.
Learn to let go of all your worries, fears, past experiences, problems and
concerns. You don't need to carry all of those emotional baggages. Surrender it
to God and let His grace take over whatever it is that you're going through. Allow
His will to be done. You can feel the hurts, the pain, the aches and the struggle
but you can never stay there. You have to move on for God has a lot of things
in store for you. Focus and know your goal. When it doesn't make sense, just
let it go and move on!
>>>>> Surrender and Pray
hardest!
Surrendering to God is not a weakness but the
greatest strength for you are submitting to Him, the God of all Grace! They say
that the one who kneels in prayer can withstand anything. We are nothing
without God and praying to Him is asking for His knowledge, wisdom, discernment,
gifts and teaching. Praying is everything. It is a complete package wherein we
can express freely our self without the effort of pleasing Him because He
accepts us for what we are. Praying helps us overcome our struggle and it
strengthens our faith in God. Imagine
your day without prayer and you'll realize that it is not complete. Continue to
talk because God listens and He tells us to just ASK (Ask, Seek and Knock). Let
us be firm in the faith, ready to surrender our own self and give time to pray
hardest. God deserves our best!
>>>>> Be strong for God is in
control!
I know the situation is tough but rest assured that
God is always in control of everything. Be strong and fight the good fight of
faith! For sure God will deliver you from the experience that you have. He
won't leave you because He knows you need Him now. Allow God to embrace you in
your lowest time, allow His grace to complete you, allow His mercy to be felt,
allow His forgiveness to move you, allow His love to inspire you and allow His
will to be done through you. It's not an easy task but it's worth it. Learn to
sacrifice your desires for His greater glory and He will reveal His plans at
the right time. Be faithful and hopeful! Everything will be alright! Be still
and know that He is God and we are not. Continue to be strong for God is in
control!
Prayer: Lord please continue to do amazing things in my life.
I know they are blessings in disguise. I don't know where you may lead me but I
trust your plan for me. Help me and provide for me Lord. Strengthen me more
that I may face all challenges and struggles that are coming my way. Lord I
surrender myself to you. I know you will fight for me. I claim victory over
these struggles. May your will be done. Deo Gloria! Deo Gracias! In Jesus'
name, AMEN!
So how about you?
What will you tell to your old weak self?
