Let us bow our heads...

My post was due this morning online and yet it is only now that I am posting it (and I apologize to all the people who have been waiting on it). The truth is this is not the article I was originally supposed to post. I had another one but then I just left it on the side because I just didn’t feel it was right. Right for the day, right for the moment, right for the emotions that were actually filling my heart and moving my soul in some kind of ways.
As I was later in the day sitting and just letting my mind wander around, I started thinking about all I went through, all the mistakes I had made that just turned me into that person I am today. I was thinking about all the battles I still have to fight, some now, some in a close future and some years from now. And I have to admit it is one of the things I constantly think about and that hunt my mind every day, every night. I am just the type of person that wants to know how things will happen, how messy situations will just get solved and everything will fall into place. But at some point in my life, I realized that it was a burden that was too heavy for me to carry every single day.

I realized that worrying too much was driving me away from the things that were the most important to me: my goals, my career, my family and friends but mostly my relationship with God. You know how sometimes you are just so worried that all you want to do is just sleep all the time? Yeah that’s how bad it used to be. I would worry for all and everything and the more I would, the less I would pray and the more things would get complicated. When I realized it, I asked God to give me strength to overcome all this adversity and beyond everything to always give me to strength I need to bow my head and call upon his name in times things would get really tough. Don’t go and believe that things just got better and that all the issues where solved like that. But one thing I know for sure is that I tend to worry less than I used to. I do pray and call upon the Lord’s name whenever things are good and even more when things are bad. Because what people need to understand is that God is not only God when things ain’t right, He is also God in good times. 

 I also trained myself to keep in mind that I don’t have to worry too much about things: if they are meant to happen they will, if they are not then they will not and there is not much I can do about it. And I want you to keep that in my too. Only God can change the course of a situation and you as a human can’t do anything except pray and keep a positive attitude. Yes attitude is also important because it sets up the perfect atmosphere for things to happen. If you believe what you want and are striving for can happen and will happen then it might happen. I say it might because, well, you have no power about it happening. You can only hope for it, pray about it and work for it to happen because ultimately it all depends on God.

Tough times are meant to reveal the good in you as well as the strength you didn't even know you had and many other things I have not yet an idea of but that I hope I will soon figure out. So my tip for you today is just an encouragement to let go of all your fears and abandon yourself entirely in the hands of the Lord. He has the power to carry you through these rough times, bring peace to your life and make everything fall back into place. All you have to do is to bow your head, pray and keep a positive attitude. So smile and let God and your Faith do the trick. God bless you
