Good day Fellow Mylotters,
Perhaps, this is my destiny, that is to endure the hardships that my life brings. That for every piece of happiness that I received, there will be a tons of trials come. And because of this, I can't help to think that life is really not fair. Although a lot of people are saying, God is always there to help but, why is it that, for every piece of happiness that I am receiving, I also receive a tons of trials. And I really can't understand why my life is always like this. I know and believed that God is always there for us. But, my life is always full of trials. And it seems that, I will not be having an opportunity to really enjoy my life anymore.

Yes, God will always be there, but you also need to recognize the smallest good things in your life. It also has something to do with how we think. Maybe you continue to play the same phrase or scene in your head that "It seems that I will not be having an opportunity to enjoy my life anymore". Why don't you change the way your thinking, why not try "Today is another day, I hope something great will happen". I'm not saying that your life will get better once you change the way you think, it won't get better in a day. But it will help a lot if you appreciate and be thankful just for being alive today. Even if you will still be at the same situation but with a different perspective, it will somehow make you feel lighter.

I don't know what is your problem in life, is it love or marriage? You can find happiness from your friends and work mates, hobbies, daily activities like mylotting, isn't that pleasure in life? When God shut down all the doors, there will always be one door open for you, you need to be brave and patient facing all the trials and tribulations. Same for me, I need to be brave facing my own problems and take step to overcome it.

Hi dear friend.What is happiness to you?For me, seeing my family happy and healthy is enough.I don't care for myself.I'm just fine.I'm doing everything just to give them money to spend for their daily needs.Seeing them smile and appreciate what I do is enough to make me happy.I also thank God that he's always giving me another day to live.Life is full of trials.Yes,we sometimes get a little happiness and tons of difficulties;but don't give up.Be brave,help yourself.Do what you can do to make yourself happy.

hi there...
you know what, i sounded so much like you before. everytime i move and in every corner of my life seems so messy. i cried a lot and regrets much. i just thought that hope i was not born in this world. i believed to that life is so unfair and too heavy to deal with. but you know what, as i surrendered my all to God: my being, my plans, my thoughts and as i uttered an everyday prayer to HIM, i became much happier compared before. every activity in life must be lift up and you will see the great difference. maybe God would like to see you something that He wanted you to do it. try to figure it out within yourself. meditate and think what would it be. ask God for guidance and He will never turned His presence from you: as i share this
P - praise HIM first
R - repent your sins after
A - ask (your summons)
Y - yield (thy kingdom come and supplications)
i hope shared a thing meaningfully to you and received wonderful blessings in life that can make you happy at all... :) God bless you more

Oh my like i am reading my write ups , word your are like a repetition of mine. Those are like my shouts and screams . Yes that is sometimes life treating me , all dark and seems no more sun to shine for me , like no more rainbow to come.. But what consoles us also is it will pass and God is there. But sometimes we can't understand God's way. We felt like being alone in this world , fighting to the last drop of our blood. But for sure we'll survive it, little by little we can ..just hold on . Maybe it is just a phase that we need to pass..its ok don't give up ..Life is still beautiful , isn't it ? God bless you :)

I have felt the same way. And I would often cry about not having what I want in life. Things just hsppen not the way we expect them to be but I have learned to just go with the flow. It is not relying everything to someone else. I believe thay God will always be on our side no matter what. With this in mind, I get yo do a lot more things to improve my life. Consider this part of your life as a phase. We all go through this. Smile!

Hi aira, your discussion sounds sad; I felt sorry about your feeling. Many people including me would think that life is unfair but the question is, "Is really life unfair?" I think the author of life makes life fair for He is a fair God. What's makes it unfair is not life itself but it's the people. People makes life to be unfair. If you are happy and you experienced trials it doesn't mean that you are paying those happiness with the sadness and difficulties that you are experiencing right now. Be happy when you can experienced trials for through it you can overcome and you will become strong. I believe that if we are tested there is no reason for us not to overcome it. If God is within who can stand against us? No one,nothing even trials! When everything seems darkness always remember that there is always a light and through that darkness you can see the light.
