My Reflection on the past Semester (2nd Sem, 2007)


For some of the people it may be very simple but for me it is a very big issue. There was a time in the semester, my spirit had no rest. I could not enjoy the whole two days. I did not want to share my deep feeling to any one. I bear within me. Even to pray was difficult. I tried to read the Bible, I could not get spiritual meaning. I prayed to God, and as I begin to study I just turn the Bible and it comes to James.

James 1: 2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7Those who doubt should not think they will receive anything from the Lord; 8 they are double-minded and unstable in all they do.

I count my spiritual dryness as a testing of my faith, a testing of my calling, a testing of my perseverance, a testin gof my commitment etc. Then I could pray as follows giving thanks to him and renew my commitment.


Lord thank you! You have been my guide; you have been helping me until this day. Please help me to accomplish the task that is set before me. My people are eagerly waiting for me to go home with success. May you help me please LORD!
