One more night and another year will be added to my age. I
will be turning 26 years old tomorrow and I feel so uneasy with the fact that I
am no longer a child. Maybe I just can’t take the reality that years have
passed and I am changing and I am no longer the same as before. Or maybe
because I know that the next few years, I will be facing another phase of this
life, another unknown chapter of my story. And I am afraid that I am not
capable to face it. Fear of the unknown, this is what I feel on this last day
of my 25 years here on earth.

Because of this, I whisper a little prayer to the Lord asking
Him to remove every fear that is inside me and replace it with peace and joy. With
this I know that He is with me, and I am reminded that He has plans for my
life, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me a hope and a
future. His words in Jeremiah always give me faith that everything will turn
out fine as long as I cling into His loving arms. With His words, I know that I am strengthened
at this moment. My fears have been replaced with faith and I am not afraid to
face the next chapter of my life because the Lord is with me as He is with me for
the last 25 years of my life.
Indeed He was with my especially last year where I have
faced mountains after mountains. Whenever I feel alone, He was there to comfort
me. Whenever I feel giving up, He was there to remind me that I must go on
because I will be seeing the sun after the rain. Whenever I am hurt, He was
there to wipe my tears. Whenever I am lost, He was there to guide me to the
right way. Whenever I feel losing, He took the battle for me so that I can have
the victory. Yes, my last year is a roller coaster ride but He is with me.
Tomorrow I will be turning 26 and I know that Lord is
telling me this:
“Don’t be afraid my child, Don’t be afraid.”
And these words are enough for me to be confident every day
of my life.
