IS GOD REAL?

Is God Real? This is the question that often asked by ourselves especially when we are facing tremendous difficulties in our life.

In our daily lives, as we meet our basic needs through acquiring work and mingling with other people. We are usually influenced by other people around us with their different behavior, attitude and lifestyle. 

We became ambitious, addicted doing things beyond our control, exploring new things, and knowledge greater than our own capacity. We became boastful, arrogance and even covetous to our fellow human beings. When we are in abundance or we become rich, we forget to know our God even forget to pray or attend Sunday mass. We became ungrateful for everything we received.  But when little trials come in our lives, we murmured and blame our Creator without any fear or any reservation in ourselves.
We only recognize God when we are facing great trials and suffering in our lives. The questions that usually comes in our mind: “Is God Real?” or “Why He allowed us to suffer this kind of pain?”

We didn’t know that God has a plan for us. Life is beautiful when we endured our challenges, tribulation and adversity that come in our lives. Suffering these trials is the only way we can be reminded that God is alive, and that theirs a purpose and meaning for the adversity we experienced. The trials and tribulation that we have come across is just a small moment in our lives to mould us and to become a better person. God wants us to recognize Him in everything we do and not to rely upon our strength.

God is real! He is really real! The evidence that we have is US, if we try to look around, everything we see are His own creations and He’s great masterpiece. He endured the pain and even He took His Life for us to be saved. So we must endured it and follow His way and we will be blessed.  He is always watching; we need to call on Him always. He is a loving God and a Father to us.

Anxiety And You

April 17, 2008 on 3:45 pm | In Health | No Comments

Does the word panic attack ring a bell? Or maybe the word general anxiety? For many of us, workplace anxiety is a common experience with imminent deadlines, not to mention our constant texting and messaging devices that keep us on “available” mode 24/7.
Incidentally, anxiety is also linked to depression. Most people who suffer from one tend to suffer from the other as well. The good news is that a cure is often common to both conditions. Examples include lifestyle modifications and hypnosis.
The body itself is well-equipped stressors and the perception of anxiety as it goes into a state of autopilot described as the Fight or Flee reaction. Anxiety can include a myriad of disorders like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The emotional strains emanating from these conditions gradually give way to depressive feelings.

If you’re unable to concentrate, or experience constant loss of appetite or insomnia, maybe it’s a good time to see your doctor. You might be hesitant to accept this medical condition, but remind yourself that approximately 20 million Americans are going through the same illness.

According to statistics, about 40 million suffer from numerous types of anxiety disorders. Although taking pills for anxiety is not necessarily a cure, they do work well with behavior therapy. The way the medication works is that it alleviates some of the symptoms so that the therapy has a better effect on the patient.
Common antidepressants used to treat anxiety include Prozac and Zolaft. They may be used to reduce symptoms temporarily, while the patient works on modifying his/her behavior through some time of cognitive therapy. Antidepressants may also have unpleasant side effects as well as withdrawal effects. They also tend to induce hostile thoughts, create a feeling of restlessness and nervousness. Other types of anti-anxiety medication include tranquilizers and beta-blockers. The point to keep in mind if you or someone you know is suffering from anxiety or a related condition is that these pills are not a cure in itself.

On a more practical level, it may be a rude awakening to acknowledge that there is no cure to anxiety or for that matter, ‘worry.’ We live in times of irony, where rockets barrage hotspots in the Middle East and children go hungry or are maimed every day. But that’s also not to say that a deep fear or panic concerning an issue in your live should go untreated or that one should deny his/her feelings of anxiety.

One good place to begin is self-discovery and to find out what’s causing the feelings of fear and anxiety. Once the specific issue has been spelled out, you may want to use a technique like relaxation to counter your negative thoughts. Perhaps listening to your favorite music will do the trick. When you’re hit by thoughts of worry, you may want to try positive self-imagery or talk to someone who cares for you so you feel accepted. Why, some people say that drinking your chamomile tea or aromatherapy may do the trick to soothe your flared emotions. And if that doesn’t work, there’s always aromatherapy massage and a host of alternative medicines to tackle anxiety.
