Sometimes peoples say I can do everything especially if you have a good background in life, have a good educational background, have rich parents to support you, have lots of achievement in life, have a good reputation in society, have a well-known name. But I think all of that is useless and nothing when all things in your life are lost, when tragedy, trials, and circumstances come into your life then you realize that your knowledge, skills, and ability are useless.
Even if you can do all of your best but your best is not could not enough to solve your problems and you will realize that there is a power behind who can control everything that happens in this whole world. That there is a sovereign power from the above that the only one who knows everything and knows what will happen to you in the future.
Honestly, life is tough, there are lots of trial and tribulation that we may encounter in this world. As we can observe today what happened to our country regarding the war on drugs; don't you know that most of the people using drugs are problematic and they using drugs just to forget or avoid the reality of life.
Some of them are don't come from a poor family, most of them are professionals, some of them are celebrities and well-known people. Honestly, we want to live in this world but we don't like trials and tribulation. But trials and tribulation are inevitable it is part of our life but the question is how we can face it with strength and courage if things we can't handle in our own power, skills, and ability. If we did our best and our best is not enough.
My dear reader, I know what I am saying in this blog because I'm already experiencing it now, but don't worry there is a solution how we can face life even it is not under our control.
The best thing that we can do now is humble our self and ask help. Yes! my dear reader, it is not shameful to ask for HELP.
But in my own experience, I will give you the real meaning of HELP.
H-HUMILITY, Let us humble our self before God, let us seek God's face, let us repent of our being proud, arrogant, and prideful. Let us accept that there is a power above who can control everything that we are nothing because apart from him we can do nothing.
E-ENDURANCE, Trials, and tribulation are part of life let us face our trials don't run from it, take the responsibilities and accept whatever the circumstances. We need this because we need to test our character because I believe God allowed our problems for our own good if we can respond in a right way.
James 1:2-5New International Version (NIV)
Trials and Temptations
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
L- LOVE GOD, One of the main reason why God allows trials and tribulation because God wants to inform us what is really matters in this world, What is the purpose of our lives and how we can have a meaningful life? This is the time to put all out our trust in God with all our heart and understanding.
1 John 2: 15-17 New International Version (NIV)
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[d] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from
the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
P-PRAY, Prayer is the only way to communicate with God, this is the only way to talk to God, to cast all our burdens, anxiety, worry, and fear. Prayer is the most powerful weapon how we can face all our trials in this world. Don't stop praying until the Lord answer our petition
Colossians 4:2New International Version (NIV)
2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
Philippians 4:6New International Version (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
My dearest reader, Psalm 121:1-2 said
" 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth."
