The False Reality of Self

As I woke up this mourning, I couldn't help but feeling overwhelmed with all the stuff I have going on in life right now. Between my job which is very demanding, my dream, which I am far from achieving, and my obligations, that seem to never end, I begin to think, when will this end. We all have so much going on in our lives and have so many dreams that we hope to accomplish, sometimes its hard to get a grasp of direction in this life. I guess what I'm getting at is, in this day and age, whether your single and in college, married and have a family, or even in a tedious career, there is alot of weight on your shoulders.

That's how I have been feeling lately. I think it is in result of a unresolved issue that is so hard to put my finger on. Its the issue of self. We all only experience one reality, and that is our own reality. In this reality there is only one person(you) going through your days, and completing your objectives, but doing so alone. Its easy to feel like this. In this day and age, everyone is concerned more about themselves than anything else going on. Hence why the world is in complete and utter disaster. You see this life has become a yoke over all of our backs. This yoke is the worldly things that we are so passionate about obtaining. I wont bore you with examples but I will say, its a never ending battle. We are so caught up with trying to make it in this world, that we forget that we are not alone.

Like I was saying earlier, Ive been having that "alone feeling". Now, as I write this, I can truely say we are not alone in this battle. We have been given more help then we need, if we would only just ask for it. This help will always be there, and you will never be refused, if you just ask for it. If your a spiritual person you know what I am refering to. If your not, no worries. Your eyes are about to be opened to the single most important resourse you could ever imagine being on your side. This is the resourse of the Holy Spirit. He is the Comforter. He is your Counsler. He is your guide in this very confusing and corrupt world that you are sent to live in for the time being. During my times of feeling overwhelmed, I often think back to what it says in the scripture about the matter "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you" (John 14:18). If we believe that the scripture is true, than we know that in times of feeling lonely and overwhelmed by the worldly tasks that are trying to keep us down, we can call out for help from the Holy Spirit. He will reveal to us which path is the correct path through revelation and confirmation. I have found this to be the single most undeniable truth when it comes to our relationship with the Holy Spirit.

So if you are in a place now, where your vision is clouded, and your overwhelmed by all of your worldly duties, take 10 minutes out of your day, and call out for help from God, He can hear you. You can't get help if you've never asked for it. Who better to ask help from then the one who "gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth"(Proverbs 8:29). He told us "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you"(Matthew 7:7) so that we would know that the Helper that we truely need, is never far from us. With that being said, keep in mind that we talk to the Lord through our hearts and our actions, and He communicates to us instruction and understanding through His Word(The Bible) and confirmation which is based off circumstances you are in. Trust in The Lord before all things and He will take the weight of this world of your shoulders, so that you may rejoice in His Grace.
