REFLECTION

PRAYER. From this word alone, many things could be realized. How often do I communicate
with God? What do I tell him? What was God like in my prayer? For whom am I praying? These are the
things running around my mind when asked about prayer.

Since I was a kid, I developed this curiosity and love to God. I was taught by my mother to pray
as if God is my friend who will always listen to whatever I say and until now I still do the same. Whatever
I may be doing, whenever it may be, especially when I’m alone, I often share my feelings and thoughts
thinking that I am talking to God.

What struck me in that session was knowing that, God loves me unconditionally. In this world full
of judgment, pressure, and bitterness, God will always be there, God will always accept our flaws. When
we will just listen to that small voice, we can hear God talking to us. Along with the realization of how
powerful prayer is, I pray everyday not just for myself but for the people around me –my family, friends,
co-teachers, school heads, and my students. I also pray to God to show me what really is my purpose as a
teacher. Nowadays, I feel tired about teaching. I often get stressed out and sick, and I cannot even have a
check-up because I am thinking that no one is available to substitute my class. And If I will be absent
because of getting sick, my salary will be deducted. I don’t know where to put myself. I love this school,
I love my students, I am very thankful of how Pilar College has developed me holistically, but I think I
am no longer happy. I just want to pray for a healthy workplace, harmonious relationship, compassion for
us, and love. Despite all this, I really want to stay longer. But if I will still be given another year to stay, I
hope everything will be lighter, we would be understood, and taken care of because despite of all who left,
we stayed. I will pray to God every day that all things would be well for me and for everyone.

I know that this is just a challenge for me. Every people and situation I encounter, is instrument of
my growth.I know that God will be with me all the time and he carved a path I know that is best for me.
All I know is that when everything I have will be gone, I still have is my God.

Despite all the hard realizations, all we need is prayer and love. Because according to Corinthians
13: 1-3, If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong
or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and
if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the
poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
