Let God
Comfort Us
Too many expectations, not being realistic, will lead us into depression and frustration.
It's true that we need hope and dream in this life. But the lack of ability in accepting reality will lead us to a stressful time.

It's always good to have dreams, really fight for them and surrender them to the Lord. God knows what is better for us, moreover He knows the best for us. Don't let one, two or three failures made us stop in giving our best.
Let God be our guide.
Let God comfort us in our stressful time and believe in Him once
again.
And last but not least, here's a prayer for today. Hope this will be a surrender prayer for all of us who is currently experiencing a hard time .
Lord, I've been so frustrated and depressed. I know I've been focusing on the problem and not on you and the hope and comfort you offer. Help me to refocus on you and receive the comfort that only you can give.

Biarlah
Tuhan Menghibur Kita
Terlalu banyak pengharapan (juga keinginan) yang kurang realistis akan
membawa kita menuju depresi dan frustrasi.
Benar adanya kita butuh harapan dan impian dalam hidup ini.
Tetapi, ketidakmampuan untuk menerima kenyataan akan membawa kita ke masa-masa
yang membuat kita tertekan.
Tentunya baik memiliki impian, sungguh berjuang untuk itu dan
mempersembahkannya kepada Tuhan. Tuhan tahu yang lebih baik bagi kita, terlebih
lagi Dia tahu yang terbaik bagi kita.
Jangan biarkan satu, dua atau tiga kegagalan membuat kita berhenti
untuk memberikan yang terbaik.
Biarlah Tuhan yang menjadi pembimbing kita. Biarlah Tuhan sendiri
yang memberikan penghiburan bagi kita di masa-masa sulit dan membuat kita
percaya kepada-Nya sekali lagi.
Dan terakhir, inilah doa
kita untuk hari ini. Semoga ini bisa menjadi doa penyerahan bagi setiap
kita yang tengah mengalami masa-masa yang berat.
Tuhan,
saya sungguh tengah frustrasi dan tertekan. Saya tahu saya terlalu memusatkan
diri pada permasalahannya dan bukan kepada-Mu –harapan dan penghiburan yang
Kautawarkan. Tolong aku untuk kembali fokus kepada-Mu dan menerima penghiburan
yang hanya bisa didapat dari-Mu.
Amin.

Terpujilah
Allah, Bapa Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus, Bapa yang penuh belas kasihan dan Allah
sumber segala penghiburan, yang menghibur kami dalam segala penderitaan kami,
sehingga kami sanggup menghibur mereka, yang berada dalam bermacam-macam
penderitaan dengan penghiburan yang kami terima sendiri dari Allah.

Korintus 1:3-4
