God Beside Me

"I am not who I am today without the God who has been with me in happiness and in the midst of adversity."

            Whenever I pray to God every night, I seek to never forget to thank God for being here for me and helping me all my life. I take to heart the countless times that I survived challenges because of Him, and the times that  when I thought I couldn't anymore handle the situation, I simply found that I've just been relieved of that situation.

             We all have our own prayers of praise, forgiveness, favors, thanks and well-being for other people. But my strongest prayer will always be that of thanksgiving.

"The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings."               -- Henry Ward Beecher

             I recognize that the Lord has done so much for me, much more than I, a sinner, could ever deserve. It is human nature to err, as God did not make us perfect, but only in His image and likeness. Therefore, it is important to always be humble, to fall down in our knees in front of God, to ask His forgiveness. It is in our humility that God lets us learn from our mistakes and eventually mold us to be the best persons we can be.

              I make sure to remember that God is always beside me, be it in happiness or sadness. He is always watching us and calling out to us, helping us when we need it. He is most present at the heaviest burdens and trials of our lives. Learn to recognize Him in everything that is happening in your life, because God is, and always will be, there for you, just walking beside you. He is very happy when you confide in Him all your problems, as well as things that give you joy. He is always listening to you.

              We know that we become stronger as we go through our individual challenges and trials, and the same thing could be said of our faith. Our faith is always being tested, and God wants us to be strong and hold on to our  faith because it can bring us closer to Him.

               I cannot imagine my life without having God by my side, or living my life without praying and calling out to Him. I know with all my heart that He hears me and has done a lot for me.

              Accept His presence always, pray and keep the faith alive, and you'll see the wonders He brought into your life. Even the littlest things will matter if you have God in your life.

               He is beside us always. Always with you and always with me. Say Hi. :)
