Lxader- Mood
Tuesday, 4 March 2003
Dear Amare-Amuri,
Question- How do you improve your mood when you are feeling bad?
To elevate my mood when I'm feeling down, I rely on three powerful methods:
Prayer: Seeking solace in prayer to Adonai (God) is a cornerstone of my emotional healing. Through heartfelt prayers, I address my challenges one by one, unraveling them like strands, piece by piece, and stroke by paint stroke. My supplications extend beyond my personal struggles, encompassing the well-being of my entire family clan. During my day at school, I turn to the Bible, selecting verses that motivate and inspire me. Prayer becomes my refuge when facing heartache and downcast moments. I believe that, like a beautiful butterfly, I can only soar in the trees of life if my heart is free from emotions like anger, hurt, shame, and regret—tools of the adversary. These emotions serve as tests to overcome, and I find strength in smiling, praying, and obeying, prioritizing God and then my parents. Aligning my interests with God's will is my constant endeavor, trusting in His unique Master Plan for my life. I am confident that God is crafting a beautiful painting of my existence—one that others will appreciate without criticism or scorn.
"That is the power of prayer—the belief that in God's eyes, you are worth more than anyone in the human realm perceives. It's finding contentment in the process of transformation, from a cocoon to a butterfly, from a pot of ink to a marvelous painting. With God, you are invaluable; with man, you are deemed worthless. People may change, but God remains constant."
Singing: Every day, irrespective of language, I indulge in singing. Whether in the native languages of my father or my older full sister, singing brings me immense happiness, uplifts my spirits, and allows me to spread joy, love, and smiles to those around me. It serves as a powerful tool to uplift the spirits of others when they are going through challenging times.
"Sing your heart out, for in your song, you defeat the adversary against you!"
Poetry: This year, I ventured into the realm of poetry, capturing the essence of winter in verse. I aspire to make this a daily practice, recognizing the potential to bless others with my poetic talent.
"Keep writing poetry and reading books, for one day, your talent will be a blessing to others."
All my love,
Mama
