LIFE is a mysterious experience. They are questions in life we can never answer and explain. At the same time, they are things you can never change. Do all you can and leave the rest to God. Let God be God.
For example: You have been praying and fasting for a better life, now leave it to God. You have used all your energy but still nothing is changing, now leave it to God. You have sought help from relatives and friends but still nothing is materializing, now leave it to God. You wanted your mother, dad or sibling not to die. You are grieving, now focus on God, leave it to him. Your mother, dad or sibling is seriously sick, cancer is at its worst, Doctors/Nurses have tried everything, but now leave it to God. Your parents are divorcing or have divorced, there’s nothing that you can do, leave it to God. The situation home is bad, no food, school fees challenges, no sign of hope , now leave it to God.
You are being rejected, you are an orphan or you have a disability now leave it to God. You were abused, it’s difficult to forgive, these thoughts are killing you every day, now leave it to God. You have tried stopping dangerous drugs, drinking, smoking, sleeping around, stealing at school, now focus on God, leave it to him. Every term you always fail, reading you don’t understand, you are always discouraged, you don’t like yourself, not sure about tomorrow or where you will get your next year school fees, focus on God, now leave it to him.
You made mistakes, you got pregnant while at school, you were expelled at school, people judge you, now focus to God, leave it to him. You stay in two rooms or in a small hut, my parents are struggling, my uniform, and shoes are in a sorry state, focus on God , leave it to him. I’m stubborn, always misbehave at school, always forget things, always fighting with other peers, short tempered, addicted to pornography, or practice masturbation, now focus on God , leave it to him. When all our ideas are exhausted, that’s when God starts. If you reach a brick wall, leave it to God. God is bigger than all our problems. Depend on him when you don’t know what to do.
