Upon our creation, God did not have an empty and miserable life in mind for us. We are not made to live oppressed by obstacles that life is imposing. He wished for us to enjoy ourselves peacefully and in a calm fashion during our lifetimes. A life which we can enjoy the day today, which makes us at peace with everything around us, even in difficult times. God’s original idea was to make a world similar to exotic and lush garden. Unfortunately, as Adam and Eve committed a sin, the whole mankind was banned from the abundance the God had in mind for them. However, that does not have to mean end of serenity for us. When Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross for us and God let Him lose his life, this was all so we can have another opportunity for redemption and a joyful existence.
Each time the going gets tough, burden of the life weighs heavily upon our shoulders hindering our inherent potential as human beings; we don’t have to accept that as a rule of a law. Instead, we could find hope and solace in knowing that we have the power to fight and win against any calamity and secure ourselves a better tomorrow. When all is said and done, people tend to get fatigued from everyday tasks and choices that the life imposes upon them. Our lives are so hectic that we can’t spare any moment for our families or partners, for the things that we enjoy or that fulfill us as individuals. Planning our day carefully and making a list of things which we love to do can just be the right chance for us to embrace our happiness.
There is a simple, yet effective five-step process helping us achieve the state of mind that leads to serenity:
Faith without action is meaningless: Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead (James 2:17, NIV)
Do the correct thing and hope for the best: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 NIV)
Hold on to your beliefs: Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11:24 NIV)
Keep your thoughts pure, God is always watching: We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (II Corinthians 10:5 NIV)
