The Power of Prayer

I totally believe that God will grant you the desires of your heart if you fervently pray for it. I used to be so lost and misdirected, I used to trust on my own judgement when it comes to religion and spirituality stuffs. I used to be so spiritually hungry,maybe malnourished even. It all change when I agreed to go with my mama to church one day. Hearing the gospel after almost five years of not going to church breaks away any doubts and fears I have about myself. I regained my faith back. My outlook in life changed. God uses people, places and even situations to shake you up and make you realize that you mess up and you need Him and only Him alone. At a moment when I was so sad and unsure of how my life goes, I prayed that He'll guide me and take me out of the struggles inside my head.  While I was riding on a boat on the way to the beach in Bohol and just saw how vast the ocean is, I feel like I am the one who limits my own world, I am the one who let myself get stuck at home when in fact I could go to places.  I was so sad at work that even the mere mention of  "How are you?" to my students makes me cry, that's when I knew that I need to let go and send that resignation letter. I was so uncertain but something pushes me to just let go and send it, I don't know but it felt really liberating. Those situations that I mentioned on top, I feel that God uses those to make me trust in Him more, to just totally abandon to Him everything. It's like ayaw soloha, tawaga ko ug bahini ko anang imong gipas-an and I did and now I am in the proper frame of mind and more positive than before. I make it really a habit to go to church every Saturday morning to hear the 6am mass and I don't mind waking up very early,I prefer going to church on Saturdays because it's more solemn. I fervently asked for direction and He granted it to me and I am now happy,not lost and confused anymore. Thank you Lord for your love, compassion and mercy, I don't deserve it but you embrace me and my shortcomings. Salamat jud kaayo, walay tungkad na pasalamat.
