"Challenges in our Faith Journey"
About a month ago, I met a parishioner who is a social service counsellor. She shared with me that the recent statistics for the number of people committing suicide or going into depression and being admitted into the Institute of Mental Health had both increased. It was found that majority of the cases falls into two particular categories, either financial difficulties or relationship problems apart from the others.
We all have a fair share of experiences with the difficulties of life but psalm 62 challenges us to look back at these difficulties and dark moments of our lives, when we felt that everything that can go wrong went wrong! How did we handle these situations? Did we bravely endure all the torrents of life or did we fall apart and lose our peace of mind and our faith?
The psalmist reminds and encourages us to completely place our trust in our God, not only with our eternal lives but also with our daily lives. Let us praise and glorify Him for past victories as well as for the victory over our current situation. Deep down in our hearts, let us with perfect trust in our God’s ability to deliver us out of any threats for He is all loving and has a special relationship with us His children.
