God so loved us that He created us in His own image and likeness, superior above all His other creations!

Whenever I look at everything around me, I always think about how fortunate I am not to be created as an animal that can’t speak for himself, as an insect that’s easily stepped on and killed by the human beings, or as a plant that doesn’t have the liberty to move its arms and legs like we do. These are simple facts that make me realize how fortunate I am that God loved me enough to create me as a human being.

There are instances in my life when I question the things that happen around me. When problems arise, I begin to feel some anxiety within me. But then, when I go back to the basic reality that we are God’s creations, and that loves us too much that He even gave up His only Son for us, I have to ACCEPT that He will never allow anyone of us to go astray. If God provides for the birds and the bees, the trees and the wild animals to survive, how much more can He do for us, the human beings that he created in His own image and likeness? All we need to do is to TRUST in Him, SUBMIT ourselves to Him completely.

Yes, God gave us the power to think and to discern, and the power to decide. But whatever we cannot do beyond the things that He has already given to us, whatever is beyond our human control, those are the things we lift up to Him. Trust Him, let Him do the rest.

At this point of my life, I have placed my complete trust in God. Yes, I do get scared sometimes. There are even moments when I let my human emotions overpower me. I am only human. God gave me these feelings. But when I feel afraid, when I feel that no matter what I do, everything is beyond my control, when I am uncertain, I pray. I talk to Him. I may not be able to see Him, but I trust that He is listening to me all the time. He listens, no matter what an undeserving human being I am. I have proven this time and time again, over and over again in my life.

God listens. God hears us. He answers prayers, if they are good for us. If they are not for us, they just won’t happen. All we need to do is understand, and to accept. We are only His creations. We don’t dictate what we want and demand them to happen. We let God have the last word in our life, for He gave it to us.

This is a prayer I would like to share to all. It’s a prayer that I live everyday of my life with. It’s a prayer that calms my fears, comforts my pain and eases the burdens that come upon me every now and then. It’s a prayer that makes each moment of life worth living..
