There are so many things in life that I am constantly confused about, but If you ask me about something that I'm one hundred percent certain of, it's that I'll never lose faith in God. No matter how much we try, the struggles of life cannot be faced on our own. I witness God work his wonders in my life each and every day, so I thought I'd share just a few reasons why I unapologetically believe in the power of God.
1. No matter how many times I’ve messed up, God has always been there for me.
I’m human and I mess up. I’m not perfect. No one is. I constantly make mistakes, day after day after day. Sometimes I make the same mistakes twice, and sometimes I don’t learn from my mistakes as quickly as I should. But no matter what, God has never let me down. Each day I wake up, He’s blessed me with another opportunity to get things right and have a fresh start. He’s my shoulder to cry on. He's my source of happiness and my best friend. He’ll never judge me, and for that, I am eternally grateful.
2. It’s easier to trust God than to worry about things I can’t control.
It’s exhausting to constantly stress about things that we absolutely cannot control. Life isn’t easy, and there’s always an uphill battle to face. We’re all going through something—no one has it easy, but I let God carry all those burdens for me, and when my head hits the pillow at night I can sleep happily knowing that He will help me through it all. Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself one day.
3. He believes in me when I don’t have the strength to believe in myself.
So many times, I let my negativity get the best of me. I constantly beat on myself for every little thing, but God sees my true worth. If I am ever upset I just have to think of Him and all of his goodness, and He’ll send me a positive thought or a signal to remind me to smile and let me know that He’s there for me.
4. I never feel alone, because He's always with me.
I carry God with me every single day. He’s always there in my mind and in my thoughts. You don’t always see the sun, but you always feel it’s warmth. Just like that, I feel God’s radiance surround me daily.
5. Everything happens for a reason.
When a misfortune happens in our lives, it is so easy to doubt God. We often forget that life is a learning experience for us all and that God is our trusty mentor through it. The obstacles that we face in life are our lessons, and they are what makes us grow as a person. Instead of asking "Why me God?" We should thank Him because He is the one giving us strength to overcome our battles.
6. God always has a plan.
We don’t always understand the way God works in our lives. Sometimes He pushes us to our limit, but that is because He wants us to know that we can confide in Him. Each time I’ve faced something difficult in my life, I’ve only come back from it stronger. God will not let you fail and He knows exactly what path you have to take in order to reach success. Just trust in His plans, and one day when you look back at all of your trials and tribulations, you’ll understand exactly why it had to be this way.
I hope my words and experiences can inspire each and every one of you to open up your hearts to God and trust in His mysterious power. He may not always answer our prayers the way we want Him to or at the exact moment in time we want Him to, but I promise, He'll never let us down.
