Jeremiah 33:3

“Call unto me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not
know”

Life is a journey. Yes! You have heard this statement for several times. But take a moment to
think about your life. Have you arrived at your own final decision? Have you achieved everything you
hoped to achieve? Have you finished everything you’ve wanted to complete? I bet the answer is a
big NO! Every one of us takes every step in a very unique way. It is not always beautiful sun shines
sometime life is full of great storms and bumpy roads but it does not matter, what matter the most
is how many times we stand-up and continue. We cannot always get what we want. We can’t always
be a winner in the game called life. There are some points in our life that we will be wounded by the
thorns of life. We will feel the pain of loss, loneliness, failure and rejection but one thing is clear,
there is peace after everything. There is happiness in the end. There is rainbow after the rain. There
are lessons after failures.

Life is a journey with so many options. A world to explore, dreams to chase and people to
meet. There are times you may not know what you want, who you want and where you want to go.
In these moments, always remember the best choice is to carry a beautiful smile on your face, God
as our strength and continue to stand and fight in the game called life.

In my life, it is not the ideal and the perfect one. I have a lot of problems facing every day
and sometimes I used to blame God for all the things that is happening in my life. I was once
questioned him why he is doing this to me? Why he wants to suffer his child? As a student, I
experienced a lot of failures, discouragement and criticism in my whole life. A lot of people don’t
believe on my capacity. A lot of school stuffs to carry on. A lot of eye bags every night and lessons to
ponder on every day. In everyday I went to school, I can’t trust anyone else a 100% anymore
because in my heart and in my mind everyone is the same. Even my parents discourage me in every
dreams and goals I want to pursue in my life. They have always doubt in their mind. But as a
student, I should be ready in dwelling with my life. I should do everything to achieve my goals. I want
those failures be my motivation and inspiration to show to them that I can do it and to prove to
them that they are all wrong. Like what a quotes says, “Life is a beautiful struggle. You must keep
the journey going not because of the guarantee but because of the possibility.” Sometimes struggles
are exactly what we need in our life because life without struggles is boring. Struggle makes our life
exciting. Let’s give every opportunity a chance, leave no rooms for regrets. But sometimes giving up
for something is the best choice. But giving up doesn’t mean we are weak but instead it gives us
another chance to try and give the best that we can do to succeed. But in every down and failures I
felt in my life, one thing I always remembered I will always win this fight, I will achieve my goals no
matter what because there is someone there watching above and will help me throughout this
situation. God! He is the answer to everything. He will help us in every problem we have in our life.
Just always trust in him, call to him and he is ready to help you. He is really a one call away. Just have
faith.
 Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy
and some will be filled with heartache. How we react to what we faced with, will determine what
kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like. We are only the one who is making
our life is. What will be the outcome of our life tomorrow is what we work on yesterday.

When you’re feeling down and alone, believe in the power of prayers. As what God said, Call
unto me and I will answer thee. Talk to God with heart. Tell him everything you want to say. Ask for
knowledge, guidance and faith from him. He is always there listening and planning a God life story
ahead of you. Don’t hold back. Get out of your boring life and explore life with God because with
God nothing is impossible. Everything is amazing and wonderful when you are with him.

Prayer:

Gracious God, Thank you for the gift of life. Thank You for another day you’ve given to us.
For us to correct what we have done wrong. I pray to you Lord to give us strength in everyday and
guard us especially our loved ones. Help us in our everyday journey. Guide us in everything we are
doing in our life that we could walk on in the path you are wanted for us. Give us courage and
determination always to face all the trials you are giving to us for us to become stronger and make
always ourselves everyday a better version of our yesterday. Thank You Lord, God. Amen

Thoughts to Ponder:

“Any negative thing in your life can be change into something positive if you let it. You must
trust in God and have him in your mind and in your heart and in your soul to achieve it.”
