Wake up your idea!
"Wake up your idea, Ivan!!" -a good friend
I think these words have been one of the best words i've heard for sometime. It might seem weird for most people, but to me, I think that these are words that I really needed to hear. Some people and friends have been asking why I seemed down and in rather low spirits and I've always managed a lousy "Oh really? No lah..." Some people stop at that but to those that probed deeper, I always came out with another excuse or I just say that I'm going through some issues and things in life. I think I really need to stop doing that. No use trying to do so much, and in the end just end up hurting yourself and the people you love the most.
I kept telling myself that I wanted to bear all the pain and keep it within me, but Psalms 38 was a passage that I came across during one of my QT sessions about a week ago. It seemed that even though I prayed about things to work out for the better, I kept thinking that God seemed so far away from all these. I realised that it was actually because I did not really want to commit the entire matter into His hands, as I kept trying to do things that would work out to my will and not His Will.
"Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee" -Psm 38:9
"Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me." -Psm 38:21
Ok, I shall pray more, and learn to trust in God's sovereign will. :)
"In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me" -Psm 86:7
