Lord, I know there’s a reason why I’m having these difficulties right now. Sometimes, it’s hard to understand why unfavorable things have to happen. Balancing my time, effort and energy in my studies, work and personal life is never an easy task that I thought it would be. But I will trust you Lord, no matter what. Grant me the wisdom to understand and accept even the unfavorable things and bless me with a heart full of hope so I could look forward to a more rewarding and positive outcome of everything that I do and pursue. I know you have great plans for me, you know my needs and concerns even before I ask them. When I worry about certain things and situations, you comfort me and give me peace. Sometimes I feel unworthy of receiving those blessings, but then you never failed to remind me that your love is much greater than all of my imperfections and shortcomings. One “not so good thing” about keeping a secret is when you cannot voice out or even show what and how you feel inside. When you’re worried, tired, exhausted, confused, sad and scared, you have to pretend that you’re okay and everything’s perfectly fine. The self-expression that seems to be the only option that you have is to show them that you’re happy despite everything that you’re going through. I used to be like that and I guess I still am. But you know what? I was never alone and I never felt alone. God is always there for me. With Him, I can be me…without inhibitions …to the very essence of being myself. I can tell Him everything, I can cry before him and laugh afterwards and He will never judge nor condemn. He will just listen, give me peace, He will comfort me and make me feel loved and treasured. And after every personal conversation with Him, I feel refreshed and renewed. I am whole again, aches, worries and burdens are gone and by then I can face the world again with a genuine smile on my face. Praise be to God! I am so blessed to have Him in my life. Thank You Lord. #CAL
