When Your World is Turned Upside Down

"None of the trials which have come upon you is more than a human can stand" -1 Corinthians 10, 13a

Sometimes all what we thought would be permanent just vanish, suddenly we find out that our "perfect world" is turned upside down. I was recently experienced one of that moments and then I received a text from an old best friend: "You can trust that God will not let you be put to the test beyond your strength, but with any trial will also provide a way out by enabling you to put up with it"- 1 Corinthians 10, 13b.

Maybe my friend did not even know how much I needed that words, I just think that it was God who actually sent that message as a reminder to keep trusting Him, I was experiencing a lot of pain and sadness the last days because almost my entire life was turned upside down and that morning I felt overwhelmed and then just two words bring me the peace I so desperately need: TRUST GOD.

Dear God,

I don't have to fully understand each thing that happens in my life,

I just need to trust that you will never put me to a test beyond my strength.

Help me to see all the painful experiences as the way You are trying to teach me to trust You.

Please help me by replacing my fragile efforts to control everything,

with the certainty that You know what is the best for me.

Today I choose to embrace the very next thing You show me.

I will take every single step knowing that you are beside me.

My life is in your hands and I trust in your unfailing love.

Amen.

Be Satisfied

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart . " - PSalm 37:4. I was single for a long time, I remember how much I struggled at that time, because my soul was not satisfied, something was missing, after years and years of praying, the Lord finally gave me an amazing husband the sweetest and kindest man. But before that happened God helped me to be satisfied, fulfilled and content by being loved only by Him. Today I found a beautiful prayer by St. Anthony of Padua, and I could not avoid to share it. "Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone, To have a deep soul relationship with another, To be loved thoroughly and exclusively. But to a Christian, God says, "No, not until you are satisfied, Fulfilled and content with being loved by Me alone, With giving yourself totally and unreservedly to Me. With having an intensely personal and unique relationship with Me alone. Discovering that only in Me is your satisfaction to b...

Finding My Purpose

"Do not model your behavior on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God -- what is good and acceptable and mature." - Romans 12, 2. At the beginning of this year I experienced a beautiful period of happiness, joy and excitement. I used to wake up every morning with a big smile with a sense of joy that filled my days, yes, I was in love. And it felt so good. But as all the things of this world that season ended, it was certainly unexpected, it was hurtful, suddenly I realized a lack of joy and excitement in my life who was turned gray, I felt stuck, frustrated, trapped, my life had no direction that is when I saw how much I needed a change. I became conscious that I needed to start walking according to God's purpose more than ever. That is when I recognized that I don't have a clear idea abut God's purpose for me, I was certainly not completely lost I be...
