Prince of Peace

Lately i feel so confused about my future. I don't know where to study, what course should i take, i don't even know my dream, i don't know what is my real passion, and what i wanna be in the future. Actually i've been applying to a university. But when the time is getting closer, i was like.. God is it the right place? God, is it my real passion? Should i change my course? and so on.

What makes me more confused is people's advices. Some people say A, but the other say B. ( but i'm so so so grateful that God gave me so many friends who really care bout me ). Shortly, i asked my eldest sister. She gave me her advice and this bible verse


PHP 4:6-7 NIV
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

then she told me " Peace comes after gratitude to God ". 

I'm so helped and blessed by her advice. I learned that we can't find peace by our own. We can't also find peace from other. But we can only find peace in Jesus. Why? Because He is a Prince of Peace.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 NIV)

These days i really pray, pray, and pray. Finally, today He answered me and i've made my final decision. hehe. What i can tell u guys is our God, Jesus Christ, He is Peace. So if you are confused right now, maybe to choose this or that, firstly you should have a grateful heart (that will lead you to peace), and always remember one thing, choose the one which gives you peace. When it comes to bring real peace, it's always God. Cause He is the only source of peace. (the real and eternal one)

Love,
Nana

  1. Sedikit sharing soal passion. Passion tidak selalu soal sesuatu dalam diri yang perlu ditemukan. Passion bisa ditumbuhkan. Passion ada di setiap aktivitas yang membuat kita merasa berdaya (so far, ini pengertian passion yang paling tepat menurut saya).

    Ada kalanya kita tahu passion kita tapi kondisi sekitar tidak memungkinkan (berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi dan teman2). Pada situasi seperti ini, mau tidak mau, passion harus di-create. Seperti kata Ibu Een Sukaesih, "Tidak ada manusia yang diciptakan tidak ada gunanya".

    Berhubungan dengan pilihan jurusan, apapun pilihan yang sudah diambil, jalani sebaik-baiknya. You can create your own passion. GOOD LUCK

    "Whatever your choice, always give your best, so there is no reason to regret your choice."

    2. i agree! passion can be related with the natural tendencies that God has created in you, e.g. character, learning preference, hobbies, what you like/dislike, etc.
      so make the best of what you chose nadya! Supporting you lil sis ^^
