“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” -Philippians 4:6-7
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.” -Psalm 46:1-2
“Casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.” -1 Peter 5:7 Whatever you may be struggling with just place it in the hands of God. Know that He is your comforter and has it all under control. By having anxiety it isn’t making the situation any better, only worse. We can’t try to control by our stress, we have to just hand it over to the one who knows best.:)

I just want to share my experience and encounter with God last weekend when we were on the island. We were riding on the “bangka” ‘cause we’re about to go to the White Sand Beach Island across from where we are.
As I hopped in, I really felt this uneasiness ‘cause I’m afraid of riding on a water vehicle of all type. In short, I am scared of seas or oceans. You know the you-are-in-above-the-deep-water-you-are-scared-you-might-drown-whatever feeling? that’s how I felt that time. Then, it started moving and boom! It made breathing hard for me, it was so uncomfortable, I was so scared I prayed to God. I said, “Lord, I don’t know why I am feeling this way but please help me get through this and comfort me. I don’t know how to make it go away but please show yourself to me. Let me know that You are here with me. Assure me that You hold everything, that I am safe and You hold me. God please, I pray in Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.”
After praying, I keep singing the song “Heart Of A Servant”, when I was on the line “My Jesus, my Lord, You’re the love of my life. Wherever you go, wanna be by Your side….” suddenly, a dove appeared on the spot of the island I’m looking at, and it just flew around the sky above that island, it was there until I finished the song. As if it was dancing in the sky while I was singing. I was really amazed how God comforted me that time, and I believe that dove is Him showing, and telling me that “Don’t worry child, I am with You always and forever.” as what He promised in Deuteronomy 31:6.
I realized that God’s love can never be explained, IT CAN ONLY BE EXPERIENCED. I praise my Savior for His great love for me.
No matter how high or how the tide is, it always touches the sand. Just like God’s love, no matter what happens, that love always reach us. ALWAYS. Because that love is PERFECT and it NEVER FAILS.♥
