Then I said, “Woe is me, I am doomed!
For I am a man of unclean lips,
living among a people of unclean lips;
yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me,
holding an ember that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
He touched my mouth with it, and said,
“See, now that this has touched your lips,
your wickedness is removed, your sin purged.”
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?”
“Here I am,” I said; “send me!” - Isaiah 6:1 - 8
Don't be ashamed to go to Church because of your problems and sins, for healthy people are not the only people go to a doctor. Sinners are more than welcome in Church than regular Church-goers.
Self-Reflection: Yes, I'm very sick right now. I need to go to the doctor so badly. Please take me in, God.
“Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon said in reply,
“Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.”
When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing.
They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come to help them.
They came and filled both boats so that the boats were in danger of sinking.
When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at the knees of Jesus and said,
“Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man.”
For astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him,
and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon.
Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”
When they brought their boats to the shore, they left everything and followed him. - Luke 5:1-11
You prayed for many years but did not get what you prayed for, you went to Church but good things do not seem to happen, you lost trust in God and asked what's the point to believe? For God has His plan, trust him and you shall get what is best for you. Follow the path God has planned for us, God entrust us to be His people, we also should trust God to be our leader in life. You only need to have faith and believe in God, what He gives you and His love for you is always more than enough.
Self-Reflection: For so long I thought I fought hard, kept going, but without faith, I failed and got nothing in return, because I am a sinner who left God. This time, God is here, telling me to go back to Him. If I "lower my nets for catch" with all my hearts, I know the best is not far away. God, please guide me for I cannot see what's ahead of me. I'm afraid for this change, please give me more strength to continue to follow you and to put all my trust in you from now on. Will I be able to "catch men" if I follow you??? ^_^ hahaha... I think so.
