An Evening Thought..

Just before I left my office this evening... suddenly this thought come.. maybe I too tired or stress or whatsoever...

Day by day struggle with life, with cares and worries overwhelmed. Why is this so hard? Why do I get so discouraged?What is this disappointment I feel?How do I find peace during strife?

What is life, that I must live it?What is a day, that I must endure it?What is an hour, that I must spend it?

What is death, that I should grieve it?What is pain, that I should feel it?What is pleasure, that I should seek it?

Help me, Oh Lord to seek Your mercy,Help me, Oh Lord to seek Your grace;Help me, Oh Lord to seek Your glory.

Help me, Oh Lord to surrender all to You!

  1. Hi Alv...I too felt the same. It's just that I'm much much better now comparing few weeks ago. Hey, Alv, try read the book of Esther-Bible. I felt relief after reading the comforting story of that great queen!
    Try it! You won't regret.

  5. Alv, What I am going to post is a "personal" impression I felt when I read your post today.

    What you are going thru is something familiar to everyone somewhere in life. Below is what I learned.

    Surrender to the Lord is one thing, but we who are given ownership of our life should be responsible of our own life.We should not over burden that what happen in life and think it has to do with something we do or did not do with our past. Life is too worry and the "if-we-do-not-have-that-we-are-not-happy" attitude.

    As long as we are alive, we can choose how we want to change our life. Change is not easy and it a continual process.

    There are benefits of praying and waiting but the unpleasant feeling you are feeling is telling we are hungry. So how do we satisfy our hunger? Go out and get that something? Go on a conquest for our promise land? Ya be a go-getter.

    Everything is a choice, even we do not want to choose is a choice we had taken too.

    Okay that enough from me. :P
