Life on earth can be compared to a boat on the sea.There are times that it is smooth-sailing but there will come a time that the boat will be beaten by great waves and wind.Just like our journey in life,there are times that we are happy and contented with what is happening in our life but there are also times that problem will arise simply because whether we like it or not troubles are part of life.
Everyone of us must hold on to our faith everytime we are facing difficulties in life.We must be optimistic and anticipate the best possible outcome whenever we encountered obstacles that stands in our way.The best thing to do when we are suffering from all of those problems and negative things that discourages or disappoints us is to ask for the help of our God by praying fervently.We must not lose hope because whatever situation we are in,He will listen to us.We just need to wait for the perfect time that He will answer our prayer that can solve our problems.
Faith can move mountains.We must not forget what was quoted in the Bible in relation to this: Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me ,all who labor and are heavy laden,and I will give you rest.” “Take my yoke upon you,and learn from me,for I am gentle and lowly in heart,and you will find rest for your souls.” “For my yoke is easy,and my burden is light.”We must have faith in the Word of God and take trials as something that will only test us as up to what extent we will be faithful to God.We must also remember that everytime we overcome troubles,we become stronger.That circumstances will help us develop a strong personality that we need all throughout our journey in life.
We shouldn’t quit,instead we must face and solve our problems because if we ignore our problems and if we don’t do anything to solve it,we have nobody to blame but ourselves.So why we will allow it to happen? If trouble arises,as soon as possible we must think of ways on how to solve it.If we think that we cannot do it alone,we must seek help from the people around us such us our family,relatives,colleagues and friends.But if ever nobody was able to solve the problem,that is the perfect time to ask help from God.We must pray fervently and believe that our prayer will be answered,God will not fail us and nothing is impossible with God.We can do all things through Him who strengthens us.
The Lord is a stronghold in times of trouble.The testing of our faith produces steadfastness.We should keep our faith in God because He is the most powerful,merciful and everloving God who will not leave us in times of hardship.
