I’ve realized that most of my fear is rooted in the unknown. I
am afraid of bad news because I don’t like uncertainty. Michigan medical
research team once commented, “fearing a terrible event is worse than
having it happen.”. Uncertainty is what is paralyzing. We can’t make
plans. We don’t know how to feel. We can’t make peace with the outcome, because
we don’t know what it is. We must live in limbo, (an imaginary place for lost)
which can be the hardest place to rest.
How do we align our faith in God in troubled times and when we
face uncertainties? Especially when all our hopes are dashed with
disappointment and the sense of loneliness overshadows us, grief fill our
hearts. There are so many instances where we get to know from the News about
individuals and families ending their life in the fear to face tomorrow. It is
heartbreaking indeed.
When you are experiencing depression, you don’t need a quick
encouragement. You need a God who walks through pain with you.
I seriously wonder what were the hurdles for not able to apply
their faith on God, their daily worship and their belief system to intercept in
such context. If you notice most of the time people go to religious places
presenting flowers, prayers, offerings and come out with the same grief and fear
of tomorrow. Have you contemplated on this, that we always want to believe that
God lives in religious places, with Gurus and religious leader and therefore
only approaching them can bring us with some favors? I don’t think it is the
right premise.
If God is all powerful and all loving then He would understand what you and I go through, and for sure no agency or recommendations to advocate on behalf of us are required in order to intervene and help us at our point of need. God says, “You are the temple of God, and the spirit of God lives in you.”. A holy loving God indwells our heart and sure to deliver us from the fear of uncertainty. “If you have the grace to hold on to God’s mercy and not throw it away in apostasy (rejection of your faith) or suicide there is hope.”. Do not give up, there is a way and a divine help is readily available for you.
