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

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

Forever Alone?

" Yes, I know what plans I have in mind for you, Yahweh declares, plans for peace, not for disaster, to give you future and hope. " - Jeremiah 29, 11. Being single is something that could be hard I know that pretty well, because I have been single almost my entire life, during my early years I never felt concern about me being single, I spent my life mostly learning and sharing my life with my family and friends, and I was really happy. But as time goes by, seen loving relationships around sooner or later makes you ask, when will be my turn? This long waiting makes me feel sad sometimes, I know that allow that my thoughts makes me felt ashamed of being single is not good I remember a book I read last year: Beautiful Uncertainty by Mandy Hale . Specially the chapter " God's Heart for Single Women " made me realize that I shouldn't feel sad or ashamed, being single now is God's will. God wants that I wait a little more, and as Mandy

Prayer Replaces Worry

"N ever worry about anything; but tell God all your desires of every kind in prayer and petition shot through with gratitude, and the peace of God which is beyond our understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. " - Philippians 4:6-7 I have been an over-thinker almost all my life, I think too much and thinking to much often leads me to being worried. And worry is damaging, it consumes our mind it divides our attention, it decreases our productivity and it actually negatively impacts our health. If you are an over-thinker like me, prayer is the most helpful thing you can do. Over thinking can be detrimental to our performance, and lead to anxiety and depression. During the times I struggle the most a beautiful, a friend shared with me a beautiful Novena of Surrender to the Will of God that I would like to share with you today.
