Matthew 11:28-29 (New King James Version)
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
The past week had been a tough week for me - whether it was the work in school or my financial status. Everything seemed to happen in that week. Just thinking of all these problems dampened my attitude and mood.
For school work, it was the final week for my projects; I had to hand it up that week. A lot of things had to be done and yet at the same time I had to prepare for my presentation. On Tuesday, I woke up feeling stressful at the start of the day due to work and financial issues. However, God brought a song to my remembrance, last Sunday we heard a new song called "Today is the day". I repeated this sentence in my heart saying that, "This is the day that the Lord has made, therefore I will rejoice and be glad in it." With peace in my heart, I walked towards a small corner in my room, looked up to the sky and I said, "God, you made this beautiful day for all of us. Each of us will have a beautiful day to begin with in our lives. Therefore, I believed that things will happen today and I am able to experience You for You have not created your children to suffer. You know what I am going through, and therefore, give me the revelation, the wisdom and the knowledge that I need to fulfill this day. All these things, I pray in Jesus name."
Next, an amazing thing happened, (it might sound shocking but it is the truth), once I opened the door, my mother came to me immediately and said, "Yesterday I went out with my sisters and they gave me some money, at the same time, your brother also got his year end bonus, therefore, I am giving you XXX amount of money." And this allowed me to survive at least for a week with my girlfriend. I cannot thank God enough to have my prayers answered within a split of a second.
Later that day, upon reaching my school, to my amazement, I managed to solve all the errors in my projects with my teammates with much greater ease compared to last week.
Seriously, sometimes we are depending too much on our own strength and neglected the power of our Almighty God. He is there for a reason. He is there to help us. Therefore, I will remind myself to be more conscious of His presence, in order to connect myself to Him who blesses all of us. Praise God!
