In life we often encounter difficult situations. They may either be of issues regarding career, relationship, business or simply the trivialities of daily living. When these things do challenge us our normal reaction is to seek other people’s help when we think we are incapable of solving them ourselves. However, when help isn’t available we tend to get panicked or feel helpless. We may then get frustrated which can be manifested negatively in our mood and behavior. They happen because we often forget that no matter how small or big the problem may be there is always help within reach for every one of us. This help comes from divine intervention. It doesn’t take much to pray. All that is needed is for us to be humble enough to admit our weakness and acknowledge that there is one Supreme Being who controls everything.
I have been through a lot of hard times ever since childhood, although, I have never been very vocal to my family about them. That’s why, I learned to utilize prayer instead at an early age. I use it in every possible way: kneeling at a chapel, sitting down somewhere, lying on my bed, walking, running, or whatever I’m doing. It has become a habit so that I get to say it when I sense trouble coming or when I am in the middle of it. I’d ask for a commuter ride during rush hours, to spare me from the rain, to write a good article, to address doubts, to find a lost item, and even to say a birthday wish. It worked most of the time. My real point is that whenever the need arises I need not go far to look for a reliable help. I t only takes faith and a little patience to wait and see things happen in unexpected ways. Like everyone else, I am privileged to make the call anytime as I like, even at the slightest hint of trouble. I am inviting everyone to do the same and experience the blessings of a prayerful life, even in the midst of guilt. In the end, we can only realize how good it is to have help always within our reach.
