Heart of a warrior
This quarantine feels like a never ending cycle right? Same things happens all over again. You just wake up to repeat exactly what you did yesterday.
It's tiring right? There's no excitement anymore. It doesn't excite you to look forward on what's gonna happen tomorrow because of the thought that "same things will happen again, there's nothing new."
Do you ever feel like you don't have a choice so you have to push yourself? Because you're afraid that if you don't, you'll not be able to finish anything.
You badly want to take a rest because you feel tired. You feel tired because of the current situation. Maybe because of online classes. Because of the toxic people around you. Or just maybe, you just feel tired about everything.
You feel like nobody understands you. It seems like you are all alone in a desert, thirsty for someone who can understand you and know your pain, tiredness, loneliness, and everything that's inside your mind but you can't express through words.
You have a lot of worries. You have a lot of fears. You have a lot of doubts. And that are some reasons why you feel tired. You're physically and mentally tired. You're exhausted. Because you always worry of what might happen next.
"Is that all I can give? I can do better than that but what happened?"
"What will happen if I'm not gonna pass? Will I be able to have a good future?"
"Is it still worthy?"
"Am I doing good? Or should I stop already?"
There are many things that we are unsure of. Those things keep running on our head that sometimes is the cause why we can't sleep. But you should lessen your worries and pray for it.
"Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong." (1 Corinthians 16:13)
This verse is very useful these days because of the pandemic. Let this be a reminder to all of us that we should be still and alert. We should hold onto our faith in Him that whatever may happen, we're still standing strong.
May our faith in Him lead us to the right path and hopefully, it may not waver even in tough times like what we are experiencing right now. Let us strengthen our faith and deepen our relationship with Him.
Let's be brave and strong. Even if a lot of storms will pass by, always know that you have the Lord so you have nothing to fear. Even His followers are not an exemption when it comes to the problems and challenges because we are all being tested on how strong our faith is.
Faith can move mountains, that's what they say. But that is true. So strengthen your faith and pass the test of life so that you'll be used by the Lord to be an instrument to other people.
The enemy is also doing it's best to tempt the people that has a deep relationship with the Lord so be steady and strengthen your faith. The enemy targets the weak so beware and be stronger.
You're worries will not lead you to a great path. So be a warrior that knows how to face the challenges ahead and fights until he claims the victory he deserves.
Remember:
Be a warrior, not a worrier.
