Losing the grip?
We always work hard to have stability in life...Keeping a job, having the family intact and with close ties, having good friends, staying in good position whether in work, home or in society and staying blessed… this is what God had promised us to be or to have when we choose to be righteous or good. (Not self righteous-this is different.)
Proverbs 10: 30
New International Version (NIV)
See:

30 The righteous will never be uprooted,
but the wicked will not remain in the land.
but the wicked will not remain in the land.
.
Kawikaan 10:30 (Tagalog)
Magandang Balita Biblia (TPV)
30 Ang
matuwid ay mananatili sa kanyang dako, ngunit ang masama, kung saan-saan
matutungo.
We know exactly what are the consequences of being
bad or wicked…losing job, being exiled, extricated,
demotion and all the unlikeable situations which gives discomfort, worries,
fears and hardships.
I don’t want to loose my grip. I want
to be stable. I want to keep hanging on…and try to be GOOD at all times. Let
us…
Hang on to God.
Let us do our best
to stay with God.
Let us pray…
Our Holy Father
in Heaven, sometimes there are situations in our lives, we forget to maintain
our goodness…sometimes, we do not know how to deal with the situation with
goodness in mind. I admit, Lord, I am still weak. There are some people and
situation that provoke us to act unfavorably. Forgive me, Lord. I do not wish
to be uprooted from Your family. I am doing all my best to be good. Please keep
me away from those people or situation that would provoke me to make mistakes
and turn my back on Your love and teachings. Give me good friends and people
who would walk with me to Your goodness and right path. I know, Lord, despite
of my imperfections…You would mold me to be better…You would make me strong
enough not to lose my grip of faith in YOU. In Jesus name I pray…Amen.
I believe that whatever problems we are facing now, having a grip with HIM will be the best option. If we cannot hold anymore, HE will be the one who holds us.
TumugonBurahinWe always need to keep the faith and trust HIM. Everything will be possible through our Lord and He will never forsake us.
TumugonBurahinVery much agree with this. I always turn to HIM when I know I can not hold on. I know he will be there to catch me if ever I do let go. I always trust that in time, the pain and hardships will be paid off. :)
TumugonBurahinagree, keeping the faith is the secret
TumugonBurahinAmen! I really need that prayer! thanks sis! :)
TumugonBurahinit is always the faith in Him that makes us strong and steady.
TumugonBurahinit is human nature to blame others for our misfortune. some people take this route rather than keeping the faith. i hope we all realize that turning to Him is the best way to face our challenges. :)
TumugonBurahinAmen! He is the only strength and resolve whom we need!
TumugonBurahinWhenever I pray, I always ask for strength and nothing else. Thank you for another inspiring post.
TumugonBurahinThank you for prompting me this reflection right now. Whatever it is we want in life, and in whatever aspect we;re looking for stability, goodness din talaga ang paghuhugutan natin.
TumugonBurahinThank you for another inspiration. I need this right now.
TumugonBurahinLove this post, GOD will give us the strength to see through the days.
TumugonBurahinI love this post, Ms. Glenda. Jesus Christ is the ultimate source of our strength, so if we plant ourselves near to him, we will never get uprooted. I need to remind myself of this everyday!
TumugonBurahinThanks for sharing this one. Keep on inspiring!
TumugonBurahinVery true! Let's be GOOD at all times wherever we are.
TumugonBurahinI'm in my life right now where in I really don't know what to do with my work. Seems like I like it because it provides my daily living but I don't cherish it. I need to hang on to HIM.
TumugonBurahinKeep the faith! Life is a balancing act but God brings joy amidst the struggle.
TumugonBurahinno matter what happens, keeping our grip with HIM and keeping our faith is of utmost importance. He is the only way. thanks for this inspiring post, miss glenda!
TumugonBurahingod does not give us anything that we cannot handle. thank you for this uplifting prayer. it reminds us to always see the positive side of every situation. :)
TumugonBurahinIt's the nature of people to seek a comfortable life. We always pray for a better life that is and if we have one we almost forget that God is our life. Right now, I am praying for His guidance to show me the right way and to decide not just for me but for the better of everyone. I will keep my faith on His will.
TumugonBurahinGood verses to share with it. Especially the first one sis :)

TumugonBurahinThank you so much for this post, Glenda. Sometimes, I tend to question things and wonder why people who gloat and do evil are not getting what they deserve...
TumugonBurahinAttaining stability is not easy so I I agree keeping our faith is the key...

TumugonBurahinI do lose my grip...many times. I am very much a work in progress when it comes to reigning in my emotions. I enjoy the learning process, and hoping I am much better when I started. :-)
