When you see a sea of obstacles in front of you. There lies
obstacle after obstacle after obstacle as far as your sight has access to and you
feel completely overwhelmed by them. You feel as if you are never going to be able
to cross them all. Even the thought of crossing these obstacles exhausts you
and brings you down. You cannot find enough strength or energy to pull yourself
up and start working on crossing them. You feel that you are stuck here forever
and you are never going to be able to find a way out. You feel as if you are
never going to be able to reach your destination. You feel despair and at the
same time you feel anxious. You are worried about what is going to happen if
you are unable to reach your destination and at the same time you have no hope
of reaching your destination...….. When you feel this way take a step back and a
deep breath. All you need at such a moment is hope and strength. Hope that even
though you are currently unable to see your destination you are finally going
to reach there. All you have to do in order to reach there is cross the
obstacles that lie in your way. One by one. One after the other. In order to
cross these obstacles what you are going to need is strength so that you can
make enough efforts to overcome them. Both hope and strength come by only one
means, that is, faith. Faith is believing in something that you cannot see. So
even though you cannot see your destination right now you can still have the surety
that you are going to reach there if you have faith. But faith in what? Faith
in a power. A power that is supreme. A power that controls everything.
Everything that happens to you, everything that surrounds you, everything that
lies ahead of you, everything that lies behind you and everything other than
that. A power that loves you more than anyone else ever can. A power that cares
for you and wishes well for you more than anyone else ever can. A power that
wants to help you and take you to your destination. A power that is always with
you, looking out for you, watching over you. A power that wants nothing short
of what’s best for you. A power for which nothing is impossible. A power that
can solve all your problems and can make all your worries disappear and wants
to do so. A power that can provide you relief and wants to provide you relief. A
power that wants to guide you but does not want to spoon feed you. Because it
wants you to learn and wants you to become strong. When you have faith in that
power ask the possessor of that power to aid you, to guide you, to have your
back and to make things easy for you. You may not be able to see the way out
yet but once you have faith in that power and seek help from its possessor, it
will light up hope in your heart. This hope will charge you up with enough
energy and strength that you will be able to make the efforts to cross each and
every obstacle that lies in your way. Once you have that strength and that
energy all you have to do is focus on the first obstacle that you see in your
way and try to cross it. Then work on the next one then the next one then the
next one and keep going. Eventually you will reach your destination. Don’t get
overwhelmed by what you cannot see, what scares you. Just take one step at a
time, focus on solving one problem at a time, focus on crossing one obstacle at
a time and eventually you will reach your destination. You will reach your
destination by taking these small steps. The energy that drives you to take
these steps will come to you by having hope. And it will all start when you have
faith.
