As this new year rolls out, you might have already seen a lot of post about reflections for the past year. Lucky ones might share about their wins, blessings, achievements and lessons they learned.

For some, they can only recall the struggles, challenges and difficulties they endured just to finish the previous year. I chanced upon a post from a former colleague of mine advising her followers to be nice, as not all experienced a good turn around last year.

If you are in a period of asking the Lord when will be your time to shine, please know that our Heavenly Father answers our prayers in the best way fitted to his will, to our needs and to our situation, because he knows what’s inside our hearts.

The Holy Spirit guides us to ask for what’s right based on what GOD has placed in our hearts. Do not just ask for material gains or for worldly success. Instead, ask GOD to reveal to us his plans for our lives and for us to have the obedience to follow his will and the courage to pursue it no matter what the circumstances maybe.

Because in the end, Our Heavenly Father’s commendation is better than the people’s applause.
