"Wala pang pagsubok na dumating sa iyo na di dinanas ng lahat ng tao. Tapat ang Diyos, hindi ka Niya susubukin ng higit sa makakaya mo. Sa halip, pagdating ng pagsubok bibigyan ka Niya ng lakas upang mapagtagumpayan iyon."
- 1 Corinto 10:13
First, when we are struggling about something such as how to be a good mom, a good wife, how to deal with our inlaws or even how to deal with our husbands/partners, among others, even if we think na sobrang hirap. Minsan feeling pa natin, ang unfair, esp. for moms who are currently having a baby/babies in their womb na dapat stress-free ang pregnancy journey pero ang reality is hindi.
Instead of asking questions such as "Bakit nangyayari sakin 'to?", "Bakit ako pa?", etc. Try to think positively. Try to think what we can learn in that moment of our lives when we are struggling. Try to think, what other people did for them to overcome the same situation that we are facing. Let us not settle kung saan tayo nalulugmok. Mahirap pero I believe that as long as we live, there's hope. There's always a rainbow after the rain. Always think na kung kinaya ng iba, kaya ko rin. Always think na may katapusan lahat ng bagay. Magiging maayos din ang lahat -- hindi man ngayon, but soon.
Second, always remember that God is faithful. He will not let us be tempted beyond what we can bear. Let us not think na galing sa Diyos lahat ng pangit na nangyayari satin. No, because all good things come from above, comes from our Heavenly Father who does not change like a shifting shadow. But yes, God allowed undesirable things to happen in our lives because He wants us to learn something and He wants us to believe in Him. That without Him, we are nothing. Na darating talaga tayo sa punto ng buhay natin na wala na tayong makakapitan - even the closest person in our lives - kundi Siya.
The Lord trust us that whatever He allows in our lives, kaya natin kasi what He promised is hindi Niya tayo susubukin ng higit sa makakaya natin. It's all in our minds na hindi natin kaya. Dahil totoo naman, tao lang tayo. Hindi lahat kaya natin. But sabi nga, "With men this is impossible but with God, all things are possible." Magtiwala lang tayo sa Kanya that He will never leave us nor forsake us.
Lastly, when troubles/problems/challenges/trials come, it is the Lord Himself who will give us strength to carry on and overcome. That is why we are an overcomer. We are more than conquerors. All we need to do is allow the Lord to intervene sa buhay natin. Because God is a gentle God. Even alam Niya yung nangyayari satin, if we will not allow Him to come into our lives, hindi rin Siya makakagawa ng miracle sa buhay natin. Hindi rin natin mararanasan yung fullness ng Lord. He has a lot of something in stored for us. He has great plans for our lives - plans to prosper us and not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future.
Wag tayong mahiya at mag-alinlangang lumapit sa Kanya. Naghihintay lang Siya satin. His love does not keep record of wrongs. He loves us unconditionally. He died and lived for us all. He gave Himself just for us to live. Ano pa ang hindi Niya kayang ibigay?
