《Prose For The Soul》II.

Sometimes things do not happen the way we want them to.

Even when we are holding tightly onto something or someone, it somehow manages to extricate itself from our grasp. Even when we have worked so hard in hopes of achieving a certain goal, that dream of ours does not become a reality. Even when we do our best to avoid a certain problem, it always seems to find its way into the picture.

It may make us ask ourselves, 'Why is this happening to me?'

Perhaps this is not the question that we should be pondering on.

Perhaps the question that we should be asking ourselves is, 'What can I learn from this experience?'

The tribulations we encounter make us stronger and wiser. And whether we believe it or not, some of these misfortunes are actually blessings in disguise. Though we want certain events to take place in our lives, perhaps they do not happen, because God has better plans for us.

As we continually traverse this world, there is no doubt that the road ahead will be rough. In spite of this, we should never be afraid when we know that the Lord is by our side. With His guidance and mercy, we have made it this far, and we were able to overcome our past struggles, which have molded us into the amazing, resilient people we are today.

He has always helped us make it through our quandaries. He has made a promise to help His people who trust fully in Him. Unlike people, who change their minds, the Lord does not go back on His word. Hence, let us remain firm in our conviction that He is with us at present, and that He will never leave us.

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall,

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not be faint.

— Isaiah 40:30-31 NIV
