“I give my total trust in God as Mary did.”

There were times in my life that I happened to question God; times when I almost cursed the day of

my birth in this tricky world. I’d been encountered a lot of predicaments that made me hesitant whether to

pursue or not. I did not trust God that he too can heal the wounds leftover by the catastrophes. I did not

trust him in giving such trials that challenged me as a person but rather I insisted that all those things were

chastisements.

Later, I came to realize that he has purpose for everything that I suffered for. He molded me. He

prepared me to face all the other trials that I encounter along the way. I was not that like Mary who

humbled herself to take a risk of accepting the challenge of being the mother of Christ.

As of now, due to the realizations that I had, I can now say that by this time I would truly trust God

without even just a little uncertainty. I must trust him like Mary did for I had proven out of those challenges

that I encountered, that God has always a good plan for us. He has always a good purpose for everything

he gives to us.
As Mary did, I will never question God anymore. I will never hate God for giving me challenges. I totally

trust him for I am more concerned to the good outcomes of overcoming this challenge.
