Psalm 23 ~ My prayer, My guide
For the past month I have undergone into personal trials and such, which made me question the path I am currently taking. But this is not the first time when I felt this way, 2 weeks before my actual CPA board examination, I felt the same dilemma.
During my first encounter of being helpless, my aunt called the minute she heard my frustration. By then she told me to stay strong and that God will always be at my side, but still, my heart was racing so fast. Then, she shared to me a passage in the bible which she thinks could help me by uttering these words "I am no doctor but I'll give you the same prescription that I took when I was down, read Psalm 23 three times a day and as much as possible memorize it by heart". That time, I actually thought 'what could such words do to what I'm feeling?', but there was no harm trying it. Well, reading and carefully memorizing such passage gave me a miracle by calming my heart and gaining back the confidence I had lost. And so whenever I was down, I uttered such words,and it always does its miracle of calming me.
But as months passed by after I had passed my board examination, I have actually forgotten of using the passage as my daily need and medication. Then just last month, I felt the same feeling but to a different degree of emotions, that was when my aunt asked me "are you still reading the passage?" then and there I realized that I have totally forgotten about it. After having a conversation with my aunt, I uttered the passage again wholeheartedly, that was when I realized that whatever had happened to me was just a test and a part of creating a much brighter for me. And that was also when I realized that God has greater plans for me and that I should wait and I should pray for the right one to come along and not the things that I want. For if God wants me to have them, and if I am destined to achieve them, then I will have them, perhaps not now but someday.
The reason, why I wrote this blog is that I just want to share my personal experience of having the bible and specifically Psalm 23 to cure my doubts, my so-called depression and etc. If you are feeling down, then you can start by reading this passage and perhaps you might find the answers that you have been looking for.
Feel free to share your personal experiences as well, your experience may also help me overcome my future endeavors ^^,. God bless!
