It’s really frustrating when you get hopeless and helpless. When problem strikes you of all sort – heartaches, worries, loneliness, fear, financial difficulty, failures, weakness and rejection.
You feel alone when there is nobody to listen to all your frustrations and problems. You want to talk to somebody who can understand you. – It can be your parent, friend, loved one, etc.
But what if nobody cares to listen to you? And you feel all alone and deeply sad?
For me, I turn to Jesus. When I accepted and trusted Jesus, He changed my life to become more meaningful.-I used to be self- centered and my heart was full of hatred.
With God’s words, I learned how to give and to let go of the bitterness I felt in my heart.
I experienced some problems but I still had peace of mind, contentment and hope..that I considered as priceless.
I prayed and trusted God as I put action to solve my problems. I was able to succeed. I learned from it.
Sometimes, God keeps me wait to test my faith. When things go wrong and seem impossible to succeed, I still believe and keep my faith.
God never fails, I succeed. I learned that faith is believing without seeing and it works for me.
That is why Jesus Christ is my strength. I can do all things through Christ.
Whenever I get discouraged, these are the bible verses I always remember.

a hope. “ Jeremiah 11: 29

You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”

I believe that You are the Savior who died at the cross for me to redeem me from my sins.
I invite you, Christ Jesus to come into my heart and life.
With your help, I am ready to follow you, Jesus Christ as the Lord of my Life.
Amen
