You Don’t Always Have to Have It Figured Out



Sometimes, when I have a problem, I imagine what life would be like without it. I let myself drift away into a world where that problem doesn't exist.

Then somehow, the problem gets solved.

After a while, I realise it wasn't even as big as I thought it was. Maybe I didn't need to let myself be so weighed down by it.

So whenever I find myself faced with another difficult situation, I remember the situations God helped me through before. I remember how worried I was, how I thought I needed to figure everything out, and how, somehow, I made it through.

So I tell myself, This too shall pass.

Maybe that is one of the things our experiences with God are meant to teach us—not that we will never have problems, but that we don't have to be consumed by them.

We don't always have to know how everything will work out. We don't always have to have the next step figured out. Sometimes, we simply have to trust the One who sees what we cannot.

Jesus said:

“Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”
— Matthew 6:34

And earlier in that same passage, He reminds us that our heavenly Father knows that we need these things.

Perhaps that is enough reason to breathe.

Enough reason to stop trying to solve tomorrow today.

Enough reason to remember that the God who helped us through yesterday is already in tomorrow.

So, if there is something weighing on your heart today, take it one day at a time.

You don't always have to have it figured out.

You just have to trust the One who holds your future.


What has God helped you through that once felt impossible? Let’s hear it in the comments.

SCHOOL IS A SCAM

Image
                 You've probably heard this before: "First class doesn't matter. Na dropout sef dey make am." Have you ever wondered why you rarely hear successful people preaching that school is unnecessary? Yes, Mark Zuckerberg is a college dropout. But did he ever tell people not to go to school? Let's think about it. What's the difference between two people doing the same job when one has received formal education or professional training? Education doesn't automatically make one more talented than the other, but it equips people with knowledge, broadens their perspective, and creates opportunities. The same applies to someone who repairs cars. With formal education, that person could become a mechanical engineer, equipped to design, innovate, and solve problems on a larger scale. Imagine any successful company with no accountants, no engineers, no lawyers, no marketers, no technicians, and no trained professionals. Even the world's most ...

MY NAME, MY PERSONALITY?

Image
  I have heard many   time s  that a man's name speaks to his character. A few letters put together, yet they seem to shape  one's destiny. Most times, it appears to be true. I mean, when you see Goodluck  excelling in competitions, or Miracle  surrounded by wonders, you pause and wonder if there is more to a name than mere identity. But what then happens when Peace  is a troublemaker, or Comfort  turns out to be a disappointment? Perhaps names are not always prophecies. Perhaps they are simply expectations.   Do names shape people? Do people shape the meaning of their names? Or is it simply coincidence? Usually, we have no choice in the name we bear. It is given before we can speak, before we can decide who we want to become. But sometimes, life offers us another chance. A name from a novel caught my attention. I liked the character. Without even finding out what the name meant, I chose to answer by it. When the opportunity came, I embraced ...
