Our prayers are valuable and needed, but I think if we look at Jesus's life, He spent it serving and giving to others, and we are called to do the same. We should be generous with the gifts and talents that God has given us. It is important to take action and do what we can when we see others in need, as well as praying for them. We may not be able to solve the world's many problems by ourselves, but we can make a difference in the lives of individuals - and if each person lived their life giving what they can and serving others, their collective efforts would be incredibly huge and this world would be a vastly different place.

Very simply put, I would tell myself to relax. I put way too much stress and pressure on myself - and I still often do. Trusting in God is a long journey, but it’s worth it.

I would love to go, but I have to see about my exam schedule first and of course funds for a plane ticket! I will update when it gets closer.
