Hope
Words cannot express how much i want to break free from this vicious cycle right now. Sometimes i wonder why we have to conform to society's standards - almost in everything in life when we compete for top positions just so we can have things go our way in the forseeable future. But this view admittedly, is biased. It would be hard not to be, especially since i am part of this struggle right now, where i feel all my hopes are based on this one performance, that spans for a mere 2 weeks. My whole life, my dreams all depend on my efforts now, and i have no choice but to fight. There are times i feel so discouraged, and moments where my future seems bleak and devoid of any hope.
But one thing i have learnt, especially during my O levels, is faith. Faith that everything will be okay in the end. Faith that even when things are not going my way, they will in time. And in 'living life', I learnt not to use the word 'hope' in such a flippant manner - that is, we should not ever say that 'we hope things are going to be okay'. Using the word in such a way associates 'hope' with a hint of uncertainty and doubt. 'Hope' should be used in a way such that we KNOW things are going to be okay. And so, right here and now, i entrust my A Levels to you Lord, whatever the outcome. I place in your hands all my aspirations and my whole life, and I know things are going to be okay because you are faithful and merciful. I won't worry what the future holds, because I know you know.
