Sa bilis ng panahon, sa dami nang nangyayari sa paligid, at sa nakakapagod na mundo, minsan hindi na natin alam kung saan tayo huhugot ng lakas para maitawid ang isa pang panibagong araw ng buhay.
Ang bilis ng panahon ‘di ba? Parang ang hirap mag-adjust sa panibagong season ng buhay. Kumbaga ine-enjoy mo pa lang ‘yung isang pangyayari sa buhay mo pero kailangan mo na agad mag-move on kasi may nakahanda ulit na panibago.
Ang dami ring nangyayari sa paligid. Bukod sa nangyayari sa personal mong buhay, kung anu-ano na rin ang nangyayari sa loob at labas ng Pilipinas. Kaya kadalasan, maiisip mo na lang kung saan ka pa lulugar.
Nakakapagod na rin ang mundo. Parang minsan wala ka nang choice kundi gumising sa umaga para magtrabaho o mag-aral para sa kinabukasan. Dahil nga ang bilis ng oras, ang hirap makakuha ng sapat na pahinga. Kaya may mga taong nakararanas ng stress at depression.
Dahil binabasa mo itong article na ito. Lalapagan kita ng ilang mga Bible verses na maaaring makatulong sa’yo para mas magpatuloy sa buhay—dahil ipaglalaban ka ng Salita ng Diyos.

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.

Each day has enough trouble of its own.
