Nothing is by chance. God's providence.

Over time, I have become convinced that nothing was accidental and that God has worked (and is working) constantly in my life, and of course, in the lives of each of you. We just need to pay a little attention to what is happening around us, and put God first, and we will see that His providence is always present in our lives.

I will tell you an incident that raised questions for me, even though I was not aware of God's work in my life at the time.

In 2010, my father passed away, while I was still enrolled in college. My father's death came suddenly, without any great suffering before, so it was a pretty big shock for us too. Following his death, I decided to move in with my mother for a while, even if that meant giving up the second college I had started. Because I was going through a difficult time, and because I had an acquaintance who was passionate about animals, I decided to buy a puppy for my mother, to distract her from the event that had just taken place. After many requests to bring me that puppy, a West Highland white terrier, finally, about 3 months after the event, I managed to buy it. Along with it, I also received its birth certificate. Even though I received it after 3 months, the biggest shock I had was when I discovered that the puppy's date of birth was exactly the same as that of my father's death: November 27, 2010.

There have been many such incidents in my life, and I am absolutely convinced that you also have a lot of similar incidents, which were recorded in your life records as "coincidental events". Nowadays, I no longer believe in “luck” or “chance”, but I believe 100% in God’s work in my life, and I thank Him for everything now, even if I didn’t use to before.

We should also be vigilant when it comes to everyday events, especially when it comes to the people we meet that day. God works through people, so either we need the help of those we meet, or they need something from us. The important thing is to behave in a Christian way, with attention and love, and to put the needs of our interlocutor first. It is also in our choice, our free will, to behave beautifully towards people who just pass by us, trying not to judge or classify them in any way. We are all unique and beautiful in our own way, and God is the only one who knows the inner depths of each one.

Prayer - the key to another world

Image
Since I discovered prayer, I can say that I have found myself again, but not in any way, but much stronger. Prayer is the key to God's world, a world full of love, freedom, patience, mercy, forgiveness, hope, faith, and other wonderful qualities. A world in which I certainly want to live, as well as all those close to me (including those who are asleep), and not only (but since I am not the one who decides on behalf of others, all I can do is pray for them). This world of prayer is not an imaginary one, but one as concrete as possible. A world in which God, the Mother of God, and the saints listen to our prayers and, if they are useful to us, at the right time, they are also fulfilled. Prayers to the Mother of God and to the saints are intercessory prayers, in which we ask them to intercede for us before the Lord Jesus Christ, so that He, in His omniscience, may decide whether or not to fulfill the prayers addressed to Him by us. Prayer is the food of the soul. Also, with the help ...

Perseverance in the face of illness and in life

Image
Having experienced illness (in my case depression ) I can say that perseverance played an important role in getting me back to a somewhat normal level of living. Of course, in the face of illness we are all helpless. But also, God does not give us more than we can handle, and with His help, we can overcome everything. All we have to do is move forward, with our head first, having the hope that God is holding our hand and that He will break down any door that seems unopenable. By these doors, I mean the different stages of an illness, whatever it may be, or of some experiences or feelings in our lives. In my case, there were several doors that I felt I could no longer open, but I persevered, prayed, and tried endlessly, until the doors collapsed before me. Especially in the case of depression, the symptoms can be so strong that the sufferer can even commit suicide. That is why I maintain so loudly and strongly that we must cling with our whole being to God, Who is love and kindness, mer...

Disadvantages of working on a computer and from home

Image
Although I really like what I do, I can honestly say that in the long run it can seriously damage your health. Yes, being a programmer, I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, and most of the time, when I take a break, I reach out and... you guessed it: I use my phone. These habits are not at all healthy for our minds, which need airing out and relaxing in nature. I wrote in another post that, unfortunately, my current lifestyle is not exactly healthy, and this has not been the case for a long time, but for years. I've been working from home for about 3-4 years, hearing many people around me tell me that I'm "lucky" to work this way. Working from home does indeed have its benefits, but in the long run, its disadvantages may outweigh the advantages. The main reason why I say this is the lack of socialization, of closeness to our peers, often ending up listening to and trusting our own thoughts, which most of the time are nothing but misleading and even harmful....
