I Cannot Quit-

I cannot quit! I remind myself that I must not quit; my journey has just begun. I know that many of us have felt like this at one time or another in our lifetime.  We refer to this as "The pressures of Life”.  Yes, the wonderful pressures of life.  It would be so much easier to skip these phases all together.   One thing I do know for sure is that i cannot make it on my own during these episodes without believing and trusting in GOD.  And, so what is a girl to do?  Well for me, I maintain hope, faith and a good attitude. Difficult times are a part of life.  It teaches us about ourselves, others and it teaches us patience.  My best weapon against the pressures of this world and any negative thinking or feeling is to....drum roll, please…..Converse with GOD. Yes, just having a simple conversation with GOD will ease my nerves. I talk to GOD continuously throughout my day. There is no reason why I should wait until bedtime to address my worries or frustrations. I use any weapon available to me in order to achieve a  positive outcome in my life. Besides our loving GOD wants us to be happy and accomplished. My GOD is the "The GOD of Love”.  In fact God's love is a pure love.  We have no comprehension of it because we are imperfect beings.   During these moments of hopelessness I find comfort in knowing that i am not alone. Just the simple act of letting GOD handle my stress and concerns just frees my whole being.  When my faith is weak, I remind myself not to quit.  I must remain in faith. I must not give up. Tomorrow will be a better day, and the future will be a surprise; so why worry. I’m not telling you not to plan for the future, of course we have to but what if we’re not destined to live a long life, and we spent most of our living days worrying about something that never came.  So, in order to stay sane during stressful and hopeless moments I spend most of my time asking assistance and guidance from above.  I suggest you do the same.  Go ahead and request for divine intervention in your life.  Why wouldn't GOD hear us.  The bottom line is that there is nowhere to hide.  You cannot run away from your troubles. One must be strong, and courageous. One must stay focus, become productive and make wise choices. All of us have had those days where we want to run away from everything and everyone.  Prayer is the only thing that will save us and give us peace. Inner peace comes from faith and trust.  Keep praying, be patient. God will come to your aide. Remember we are light. You might be the light to someone who depends on you, so keep shining and don't you quit!
