《Prose For The Soul》XX.
Advertisement
Even though we may have the best plans laid out for ourselves, obstacles appear, and events do not always turn out the way we want them to. This is especially true in this time of pandemic, which has had a large impact on multitudes of people around the world.
We may make our plans, but God has the last word. People may make plans in their minds, but the Lord decides what they will do.
─ Proverbs 16:1, 9 New Century Version
In spite of these days of uncertainty and wickedness, we should strive to remain optimistic. While it is natural to experience such feelings as anxiety or sadness in this life, we should not allow ourselves to be discouraged when the Lord God is always with us.
But O my soul don't be discouraged. Don't be upset. Expect God to act! For I know that I shall again have plenty of reason to praise him for all that he will do. He is my help! He is my God!
─ Psalm 42:11 The Living Bible
If we put in our best effort when it comes to obeying all of God's commandments, we will not have to worry about staying down when we fall; for He will help us to rise again.
The Lord guides us in the way we should go and protects those who please him. If they fall, they will not stay down, because the Lord will help them up.
─ Psalm 37:23-24 Good News Translation
While we strive to pursue our dreams as we continually traverse this world, there is something much more important than our earthly aspirations and goals. And that is, to worship and serve our Creator.
Lord listen closely to me and answer me, because I am poor and in need. Guard my life because I am faithful. Save your servant who trusts in you─you! My God!... Listen closely to my prayer, Lord; pay close attention to the sound of my request for mercy. Whenever I am in trouble, I cry out to you, because you will answer me... Teach me your way, Lord, so that I can walk in your truth. Make my heart focused only on honoring your name... Make your servant's life happy again because, my Lord, I offer my life to you.

─ Psalm 86:1-2, 6-7, 11, 4 Common English Bible
Hence, while we still have our life and strength, no matter what happens, let us dedicate ourselves in bringing glory and honor to His Most Holy Name. And we will be blessed abundantly in this world; more importantly, we will have a place up in His heavenly Kingdom.

"I don't know who you think you are coming here, and acting like you don't care about anything. Now listen here Princess, because I'm not going to repeat myself. Here's a couple of rules that I'd like to enlighten upon you. Number one, you do not talk back to me. And two, you don't mess with me or the rules," his breath fans my face and I close my eyes. The proximity between us was terrifying. "I've dealt with many bitches like you, so I suggest that you follow those rules unless you want to end up like them," - he leans in. His mouth lingers near my ear, "used."... "... You might think that you run this place, but you do not run me. Understand? And the sooner you understand that, the better it'll be for the both of us," I warn staring right into his eyes before walking away. I was more than amused by his dumbfounded expression. I stop, and turn back around, facing him, "And one piece of advice, know what you're fishing for before you start fishing. What if you find a shark and it reels you in, instead?"⇒Highest rank: 1 in Chicklit on 01.08.16
