As-salaamu-alaikum everyone,
Every week I feel like an important message emerges in my life. It comes from my conversations, my experiences and more. It all culminates into a feeling. Almost like God is trying to tell me something or remind me of something.
This week, the message was very clear to me. "Do your best, and let God handle the rest." I really cannot control the outcome of much. If I keep thinking that I can, life can become very frustrating and I can become depressed. I do not and cannot control other people. In fact, I often struggle to control my own actions. I struggle to control my anger, my words, my thoughts, my facial expressions.
So my message this week is to focus on what I can control. I need to put the work into controlling what I should be able to control (i.e. words and actions). I must do my absolute best at all times...and then see what happens. I must remember that the outcome is not up to me or you. May God give us the patience and wisdom to not be disheartened when things do not go our way. May we also be blessed with the faith to continue praying that they do. 🙂
Brother Joshua
