Pray. Until. Something. Happens.
But for someone who believes that nothing happens unless you work, this abbreviation makes no sense.
Not until a few months ago.
Sabi ko sarili ko: “kung kaya mo mag-rely sa mga ‘bad habits’ kung may problema ka at alam mong wala din namang nangyayareng maganda, why not try something good naman?
Wala naman na din namang mawawala.
Hirap ka na din naman. What else is stopping you?”
So, I did something out of the usual. I prayed.
I prayed before I go to sleep.
I prayed after waking up.
Went to the church to attend the mass.
Even asked for the saints and Mama Mary’s intercession.
A priest once said in his homily, “Magdasal ka lang at may mababago.”
And so I did.
Wala akong alam sa ginagawa ko because despite being a Catholic my entire life, I almost don’t believe in having faith.
Long story short, for almost a year without a new client, walang nangyare.
Puro rejections pa din.
Income is barely enough to meet expenses.
Debts are piling up.
But out of praying, you know what I got?
I got peace.
Peace I never thought I’ll get amidst chaos.
Peace that helped me surrender.
Peace that helped me while in that long waiting season.
And then it happened.
As they say, “ANSWERED PRAYER.”
Noon, every gising, ang sinasabi ko “Bakit, Lord?”
Ngayon, bago matulog, pagkagising, and everything in between, “Salamat, Lord!”
I am overwhelmed with blessings that I never thought I’ll have (and I’d love to talk about probably soon). For now, I hope that you find the power in this short yet beautiful sentence: PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS.
