Do not worry.



This morning I woke up with a heavy heart. These past few days, I was down and feeling troubled. I felt that things were not going the way I envisioned it to be. I felt everything was not working as planned despite my efforts. I felt frustrated and tired. I also felt that people around me are also not appreciating the efforts that I have put into my work. As a result I felt doubt in myself and I can no longer see the value of what I am doing. I am worried about my present and my future.

As I get out of my bed, I sat down near my bedroom window and I cannot stop from staring at the bright blue sky. It was so beautiful! So I went outside our house and a cold morning breeze greeted my face. The wind was cold but I felt warmth in my heart. I once again looked at the sky and I finally realized that this world is such a beauty! Then I realized that my life wasn't bad at all. Actually I am blessed for I am still alive and still experiencing the beauty of God's creation. Life maybe throwing nasty things at me right now but I know this will all end and I know that once I get through all of this, I will be a stronger person and I am more ready to face other challenges that will come my way. I have to keep reminding myself that God is with me, I do not have to worry. There are struggles in life that can become emotional strongholds as they call it. These struggles are stopping us from serving and trusting God. These struggles are making us scared and worried to face our today and our tomorrow for we are frightened by the idea that we will confront these problems alone. It keep us wondering if we can get out of it without inflicting so much pain in our hearts or leave a deep hole in our soul that will eventually drain our hopes in life.

Do not worry! Worrying will not solve our problems, instead, it only stops us from seeing the good things around us. Let us trust God and time will come and we will finally experience the abundant life He has promised. Jesus said "Do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the air, that they do not sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?" (Mathew 6:25-26)

My prayer for today,

Lord, I am sorry for not trusting You. Sorry for not trusting your plans for me. Now I understand that life is not about material things, forgive me for finding security on the material riches of life rather than seeking security from Your love our Father. If You can feed the birds that have no soul, how much more that You will take care of me for I am more worthy than the birds in the sky. I will keep Your promise my dear God, that you will never leave me nor forsake me. AMEN.

Contentment is the key. Don't lose it.

 I am not really a fan of boxing. But as a Filipino, I have no choice but to listen to boxing updates every time there is an upcoming Manny Pacquiao boxing event. And during the actual fight, I am glued on my TV and I am one with the nation praying for Manny's success. The hype of every Pacquiao's fight is so intense that every Filipinos even in the remotest areas in the Philippines are tuned in to the live telecast of Manny's fight. Whether its from a free pay-per-view  set-up in a town hall sponsored by a local politician or simply in the comfort of their homes via delayed telecast from a local TV station, Filipinos from all walks of life are always cheering on every punch Manny gives to his opponent. And for every victorious fight, the nation celebrates with Manny. But his last fight with Tim Bradley was totally different, Filipinos were not excited anymore. Somehow, Pacman already lost some of his charms. Maybe it all started when he entered showbiz, he became an actor

Destiny and Happiness

In my previous post entitled “In Search of your Destiny” , I mentioned that it takes only one person, one event, and one decision to help you discover your destiny. But how do we know if destiny is already knocking at our doors?  Destiny is a very broad term for some of us. Sometimes we tend to interchange it with fate. To be technical about it, destiny and fate have different meanings. Though these two words both refer to man’s fortune. Fate is more on the pessimistic side, while destiny is on the positive side.  When we say fate, it usually refers to an unexplained, unpopular, and sometimes tragic events in a person’s life that are beyond his control. Destiny, on the other hand, is what we are supposed to accomplish in this world, it is a deep inner energy that drives a person towards his life’s purpose. A person’s destiny is divinely-planned, even before we are born in this world our role in the “grand master plan” was already determined by the Divine

About Joshua Miguel

I grew up believing that dreams do come true. I was taught that as long as you work hard, follow your heart's desire, do good, and pray to God, your dreams will someday become a reality. I was also taught that If you fail once, try again and if you still fail, try harder. As they say, try and try until you die. I turned into writing blogs to release my frustrations in life. I wrote articles in Hubpages, Triond, Bukisa, and Associated Content. I am no longer active on those sites, I just created this blog site and  concentrated on this instead. Who is Joshua Miguel? Our real name was given to us by our parents. Not that I don't like the name given to me but if given a chance to change my name I would choose Joshua Miguel. That is the story behind my pen name and that is the reason why my blog-site's name is "Joshua's Page ". All articles in this blog-site were inspired by my day to day tho ughts and experiences. Hope you will en
