Psalm 127:1-2

"Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builders is useless. Unless the Lord protects the city, guarding it with sentries will do no good. It is useless for you to work so hard from early in the morning to late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones."

What am I trying to achieve?

Is it God's will and purpose? I honestly don't know. I am not sure.

What does this teach me?

- Do everything for God. Do your work excellently without pushing yourself too hard because achievement is at hand despite it all because God guarantees excellence and success. You are his loved one!

- The things you're laying up on earth, seek God's help and grace for it! Without him, it can fall apart easily especially if it's not part of his plans for you. Remember: God's plan is the best of all, even when you don't see it yet. My eyes are not seeing clearly because I'm always in tears for not yet achieving it.

- Pray for it. Pray about it! Keep doing that! Do it all for God!

- God is the ultimate source of security! Don't be so hard on yourself! Depend on God! You don't have to do everything on your own.
