"Never alone, again..."
There are times, Lord, when I overthink deeply about things that aren't even confirmed yet. I'd rather choose my peace by not mingling with them for now, Lord—those people whom I hesitate to trust. I thank You, Lord, that I survived the day without chatting with them. Thank You, Lord, because every day, You mold me and constantly correct me to think rightly. There are times when my flesh strongly resists, but I know You are always there to guide me. Thank You so much, Lord, for choosing me to be closer to the people I should prioritize rather than forcing myself to celebrate with those who don't truly value me. I pray, Lord, that You give me more discernment regarding the people around me and help me give the right response to them.
Proverbs 3:35
35 The wise shall inherit glory,
But shame shall be the legacy of fools.
Genesis 50:20
20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good,
in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.
Thank You, Lord, because I was able to complete the onboarding requirements for Online Helper. I even shared this news with my former YA group that I finally got a job. I am praying, Lord, that I can start training with them soon and that all my doubts about whether I submitted the correct or incorrect requirements will be entrusted to You. I've done my part, Lord, and I'm sorry if I made small revisions just to ensure I could pass. I realize that I relied on my own ways instead of Yours. But still, I entrust this to You, Lord—if this job is truly meant for me, may I continue with it and may all my plans regarding finances, the house, and personal goals be directed by You. Let Your will always be done in my life and in everything, Lord. If there are things that do not glorify You, please take them away until I focus solely on You and give You the proper attention.
One thing that truly stood out for me from Pastor Edman's preaching about the blind man who was able to see because of Jesus is faith—faith to believe more in Jesus and to share the goodness He has done. There are times when we still have many questions about the blessings we've received. But I believe that whatever is meant for us will always be given to us. This must be true for my current job at Online Helper. After waiting for so long without anyone accepting my application, it finally came to pass that this opportunity was given to me. It may not be much compared to others, but I'm truly grateful, Lord, for receiving a job that I didn't expect.
The battle within me is still intense, Lord—thinking about what others might think of me. It's such a struggle in my mind that it sometimes prevents me from focusing on worshiping You. Maybe the enemy is working overtime in stopping me from doing things for Your glory. There are times when I fail, but thank You, Lord, because You remain faithful to me. I could never move past all the negative experiences I've had if not for Your goodness in my life. You never tolerate wrongdoing but always correct me to do what's right.
There are moments when I know what I'm supposed to do, but my flesh often gets the better of me. Lately, I've realized that the hunger of my flesh fades when I spend time with You. If I genuinely seek You, then I must stop sinning altogether. It's hard to stay consistent, Lord, but I pray that someday I'll get married so that I'll have someone with whom I can express all these struggles of my body. I don't want to waste any more time on women who aren't meant for me. I'm okay being friends with everyone, but I no longer want to feed myself with temporary feelings that I can't stand by—or worse—loving someone who isn't right for me.
Help me build this kind of character within myself, Lord—that I'll always seek You first and no one else above You. It's truly difficult, Lord, to let my body give in to chatting with people when it's not even productive most of the time. It’s better for me to remain silent and communicate with You instead—just like how I'm writing to You now. I'll never feel alone knowing that You're always there for me.
I pray, Lord, that I'll be consistent in writing to You because the enemy constantly offers leisure and pleasures in this world that make it hard for me to say no and lead me into sin. Help me recover from things beyond my control—especially how people treat or perceive me. Whatever their judgment is toward me, may I always respond with love toward them. Let there be joy in our hearts so that our relationships remain harmonious.
I know I can't force everyone to like my personality, Lord, but I pray that whatever we have individually right now will unite us for Your purpose alone. May we never neglect our true assignment for Your kingdom, Lord. I pray that we will grow stronger than before and unite as one in serving You. I LOVE YOU JESUS❤️
