It has been a tough 2 weeks.

very,Mentally and physically absolutely hard and very very difficult spiritually!

Although my Hallow app streak crossed 30 days, I got a pop-up notification to let me know. In my heart I knew it had been 30 days of despair, anxiety, and stress.

Whenever the object of clay which he was making
turned out badly in his hand, 
he tried again.
making of the clay another object of whatever sort he pleased.

the Lord.Jeremiahs words resonated with me! I have been riddled with alot of anxiety and worries – some external factors, few personal losses and above all just unable to articulate the feelings inside my mind and place them to the Lord. I have been listening to Jeff Cavins daily reflections as I run at the treadmill and the Bible in a year by Fr Mike while I drive to work. Yet what I miss is that connection to find peace with theLord .

hard,The object of clay I am in the hands of God and I am being molded into something which is making me reshape my mind, body and desire. It is taking time and a toll on me — I even took a day off to sort my emotions, but life is hard and everything with it is getting me more anxious…

I request prayers and a lot of love from everyone who reads and is in a similar situation as me for a calmer mind and focus on being a better person one day at a time!

AMEN.
