Look up

Life can be slightly complicated especially when you find yourself stuck. You despair and you don’t know what to do. You find yourself in this maze running and running without a way out, and then after some time you become tired. You fall deeper and deeper into this abyss. Lower and lower. You see nothing, no way out.

Ever been to your lowest and thought that you just can’t go on anymore? Like, everything feels wrong. I had that moment a few days ago. I was stuck. I was tired. Really tired. With finals coming up and suddenly all the failures from before haunted me again. Expectations, disappointments, desires, wants and dreams.

I looked out of the window and it was raining heavily. A sudden feeling of sadness overwhelmed me. Things didn’t look so hopeful at that moment. I was afraid. I stared at the rain for a moment and back at my Brain and Behaviour notes. My roommate wasn’t around so my Windows Media Player was blasting God is able, by Hillsong.

As the melody played, I began to sing along. I sang…

*God is able

He is on my side

He will make a way.*

I love the bridge

*God is with us
He will go before
He will never leave us
He will never leave us
God is for us
He has open arms
He will never fail us
He will never fail us*

As I continued singing, God reminded me again to look up. He is always there. Why should I fear? I’m fighting a winning battle. His mercy remains. Should I stumble and fall, I’ll be caught by His grace.. My God is able..

When I looked up again, the rain has stopped, I smiled when I saw a rainbow, God you are always faithful. You will never fail me. It was as if God saying, when in despair, look up. I am always there.

Are you stuck today? Tired? Look up! :)
