Difficult hours have been part of each one’s life. Managing it confidently, patiently and effectively one has to be in constant connect with the Lord. What follow is HIS grace.
One’s connectivity with the Lord matters, because under ordinarily conditions many start questioning, Why Me ? What have I done to receive this ? Blaming someone or something for it ? Handling the difficult hours badly, so as to hate or even harm others or their property thus increasing the dimension of the existing difficulty.
The continued Naam Simran, matures the soul reaching a stage where one believes (tera bhana meetha lage), A realization where a devotee does not question “Why the difficult hours” but faces the challenges, its pain, loss, sufferings, hardships or disability. Accepting Gods will, chooses to pray to the lord to help him overcome it, its reduction or disappearance. The mind understands difficult hours, an outcome of Sins of Commission or Omission, to penance (sins of this life or past life), or it to be a test of the Lord, a struggle to better one’s situation/conditions than ever before. Difficult hours are Lesson & Learning’s bringing out the better of you, it also helps identify who stands & supports you when in need.
A verse in Quran “ Allah (the almighty) acknowledges how near he is to us that we may perceive not. He is all aware and conscious what lies in our hearts and all known about our difficulties and sorrows. He asks us to remember him in difficult times and he will surely respond to our prayers indeed.
Reference in Bible “ Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ.”
Gurbani states, Aoukhee Gharee N Dhaekhan Dhaeee..... “ Aware of his innate nature, the Lord let’s not HIS slave see the Difficult hour. Lending HIS hand he preserves HIS own slave and cherishes him at every breath.”
In pleasure we forget the lord, in pain we remember... never mind when you start but do it with complete devotion and continuity to be worthy of his grace. In ignorance do not waste the Human body so difficult to obtain.
