I've been having trouble of sleeping and been waking up to anxiety almost every day for the past weeks. I don't know what makes me feel anxious besides works that are still manageable for me. Is this because of the chaos that's happening in our world right now? Every time I open social media, I only hear bad news. People share the increasing number of COVID-19 case, people look for blood plasma or bed for intensive care unit, people share the passing of their relatives or that they're now getting infected.
It's very normal to get overwhelmed and carried by the news. It's very normal to get angry, frustrated, unsettled, sad, and feel any hard feelings, because it is hard. I'm just wondering what can I do to make this situation get a little bit better? How to make this journey more enjoyable or if not, more bear-able to go through? What do we need in this kind of time?
For me personally, nothing calms me more than believing that everything happens in the PERFECT order. Not a single thing happened in this earth without God's approval. If there's anything I can offer to help, is the reassurance that whatever that we're going through right now is THE ONLY and THE BEST scenario for us, there's no other way. The reason why it needs to happen may not clear at the moment, but every scenario is teaching us to be more accepting, trusting and loving. To become one, we need to surrender and let ourselves to go through anything. I know this believe doesn't make the situation any less hard, but it gives us the strength to go through it, well at least for me.
Surrender to God's plan is the hardest thing, we think we believe in God enough, until God tests us with something we can't control and start questioning "does it have to be like this?" well, the answer is always YES. If it happened then it has to be like that. There's no scenario that is better than the other. Every scenario is necessary to shape us to be the highest of us. I don't wish our life to get easier, but I wish we're always be mindful in every process and get the strength to endure any hardship.
Please hang on, nothing is permanent. We can go through this together, I love you.
