It is not just a routine to pray every night to God. For me, it is my time where I can thank Him for waking up every morning with the people I love – healthy and fine, my job, my safe travel from home to the office and all other blessings that I received from Him. I personally see prayer as a way of talking to Someone whom I can’t see but still will I give my full trust of guiding me in everything that I will do. In my darkest days, He’s the only one whom I can turn to. Talking to Him gives me relief from a fishbone stuck on my throat. I am thankful that my parents introduced me to Him.
Prayer is my armor. It is powerful in every situation you’re in. Recently, I have this dilemma of whether I will find a man that will knock me off my feet or am I destined to be on my own forever. I am 21 and people say that I am still young to look for it. I should enjoy my life first being alone because when time comes that you are fated to meet, you can never do things you used to do. But some says that I should not close the possibility to find one soon. I should experience late night calls, dates, having someone by my side (of course not a family member) when I feel low, heart breaks as early as now. Time flies so fast that you’ll never know you’re already on your mid-life and regretting things that you did not do when you’re still young. I was left confused.
I was asking God to give Him to me at the best possible time and situation. I prayed “Lord, kahit ‘wag Niyo po munang ibigay siya sakin. Kahit ipakilala Niyo lang po muna.” Then I realized, What am I praying???! I’m praying to meet someone whom, at the first place, I’ll never know if he will make or break my heart. Well I think that’s the point. The point is I greatly trust Him that He will give me someone that will stand by me through ups and downs of my life and not someone that will just be there in a short time. And if along the way there’ll be humps and heart breaks before I meet Him, I’ll trust Him. For this is a part of my journey of meeting someone worth it. A friend told me that we can always have a break but we should never stop. (Cilyn). In that way, with the help from above, we can learn and experience new things in life and when we’re ready, he will just come along our way at the most unexpected time.
I read a Facebook status yesterday “’Wag kang malungkot na di mo pa siya nakikilala kasi kahit siya, hindi pa din ganun ka sya kasi wala ka pa.” (Zayne) Just trust God because He has a bigger plan for us than what we have for ourselves.
