It is not easy to turn a new leaf, it is not easy to change your life for the better. Happiness is hard to come by when you find yourself in situations that you struggle to get out of, but we try anyway because the hope that things can be better is usually stronger than the desire to give up. Many of us go through life alone, trying to fix everything ourselves because we feel that no one understands or worse - we feel unworthy of any help that may present itself in our time of need.  There comes a time where you'll try every and anything to fix your life and as different as our struggles may be - we all reach a breaking point at some time. It is at that time where prayer becomes the only solution, that prayer is usually so heartfelt - tears will be rolling down your cheeks because you'd be tired of trying so hard but still not making any progress.  This is the breaking point I'm talking about, where doing things alone is no longer an option nor is it bearable - it is the m...

It is written in the Bible, "There is a time and season for everything under the sun".  I previously emphasized the importance of creating space for God to operate in your life, by letting go of those things/people whom are hindering your progress in any journey you've chosen to change your life for the better. It is absolutely necessary to put your crutch down.  Keep in mind that praying is not 'talking to God', it's praying and in the same light Talking to God is not praying, but a conversation.

If you have  realised that your way of doing things hasn...

The Crutches in our lives. Few but special, They too can become a hurdle to a better tomorrow.  A "crutch" is usually a person or something of significance. I say so because that's what crutches are to those who aren't able, Significant. Whether it's a boyfriend/girlfriend that helps you financially, a friend that supports you emotionally or even that individual who grounds you spiritually. A person of significance in our lives has the potential to make us feel like without them, we cannot survive. When you pray, God answers immediately, receiving what you've prayed however, is what takes time. This is because in order to receive, there needs to be space in your life for that that you've asked God for.  A relationship with God requires you to let go of that that you depend on the most.  I chose to write about crutches because I have realised that trusting God is no easy task, we struggle to trust Him because of the crutches we have in our lives.  The praye...
