Memories are formed through the experiences we have gone through in the past. Good or Bad? It depends on which stand you take. Life will never always be filled with good experiences as it seems to me that it's always the bad experiences that make me learn from my mistakes.

And these memories are often brought back because of things that you recently heard, said or thought. I once made this prayer 'Dear God, pls help me to get rid of my bad memories and experiences...'. Gradually, I realised that bad memories/experiences are stuffs that we kept in the bottom of our heart. They wont go away, as they are there in our hearts for us to remember and remind ourselves never to take that wrong step again. What matters most is that we got to jump out of our bad experiences and get on with our life.

I thank God for teaching me that what i have been through is not the end of the world, as it's only the beginning of my life to know Him. God helped and guided me through my darkest period and finally leading me to light. My world once collapsed, and i thought that i will never get up. But He changed me. Even though i'm hurt and afraid, but i know He's healing me and will always be there for me.

God gave me a new life and hope and purpose for me. And the best thing is, He is still changing me and i know that He will continue to guide and direct to the path He knows what's best for me.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding.
In all ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
- Proverbs 3:5

I'm learning to lift things up to God, though sometimes may fail as i may want to solve them myself.
Initially, i thought that God may not understand/know what i'm going through.
But I'm WRONG.
God knows it ALL.
Whatever good things, bad things we have done, He knows about them.
Therefore, we need to lift all our plans, worries, everything to Him.

A man's heart plans his ways,
But the Lord directs his steps.
- Proverbs 16:9

Without His guidance and direction, I wouldn't have known what could have become of me.

Dear God,
Thank you for showing grace and love towards me.
Thank you for loving me for who I am.
Thank you for being there when i'm down.
Thank you for changing me and letting me being able to view things from a different perspective.
Lord, i pray that i'll continue to grow in Your Hands, knowing U more.
I pray that U continue to change me, change my perceptions.
In Jesus name, Amen!
