Problems ! Problems ! And more Problems ! They are the way of life.
God has made us in in His and our own unique ways. Without any biasness. This means that each of us has different abilities and strengths. Therefore, there should be no point comparing yourself with what others possess, which will result in jealousy, rivarly, or even the loss of faith in oneself. The devil can never change or give us what we have or want to have. However, they would try ways to put thoughts into your mind, causing you to feel lousy and poor compared to others, and you will eventually lose faith in the Lord, who created you since the beginning.
Everyone has his or her own dreams to pursue. Be it being a lawyer or a teacher. On your journey towards these things, you may sometimes complain that you are not good enough, not strong enough in your academic fields (for students) to be what you want to be. However, is that really? I doubt so. A strong foundation in the academic field doesn't make a good teacher or a good lawyer. The most important parts are the passion, the burning passion in them. Well, if you say that you are not as capable as others, as they may have the strengths that you don't, well, ask yourself. You do have your unique abilities and strengths. Look deep and it will be found. And I believe that you will succeed.
Similarly, life is a journey which no one can predict the destination or the length. There are times when we will fall - really deep. However, how do we cope with the injuries? Do we continue to stay there to wait for others to come by and give you a hand? That's simply not practical. We would often lose faith in ourselves and give up along the way. Someone once told me, "If you yourself do not help yourself, how would others bother to help you?" It is indeed so. People around you have their own problems and troubles, why would they bother to help someone who does not even bother to help himself? It's not logical to do so. Even if they pull you up, you'll fall back and no work is done. So what do you say in reply of this? Should you continue to wait for help or do you want to make a stand by yourself?
Joshua 1:9 reminds us "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Do you not know that the Lord your God is always walking with you? So why should you be afraid to stand up again? The phrase "Be strong and courageous" appears in the bible 11 times. So what do you say again, in reply to this?
Search your hearts, my brothers and sisters. Life is not at it's end yet. The Lord has His plan for you, each and everyone of us. Trials are planned perfectly by God to train us and not to provoke us. He will never place us in situations where we cannot handle. The Lord never fail us, since the beginning of mankind. Put your trust in Him and follow Him whole-heartedly now. I believe and I pray, that He will make your path straight.
