Life is Hard, but Pray Harder

So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief:
Verily, with every difficulty there is relief. - Al Insyirah, Verse 5-6.


Yes, it does make sense! Life is always about hardship. Doesn't matter in which form it takes, the hardship can be felt through our five senses. They all send only one signal, hardship. Nothing else (to those who do not want to think upon it). As hardship is later translated into emotional distress, the only way out is by praying. Pray hard.

But some people say, if life is hard, then we also need to enjoy ourselves hard too so it will create balance. Yes, everything comes in pair. The very concept of duality in this world. It is true, even the holy Quran also specifically mentions about this in Al Insyirah. Every hardship comes with an enjoyment. It means, both comes at the same time. It's not one after another. As simple as that.

Unfortunately many of us cannot see the gusto because we are too focus on our problems. We believe one must come in a sequence. Sequence exists everywhere in our life therefore, God also must follow a sequel in performing His tricks. Oh no, God is not that stupid. Otherwise, he probably won't know how to build this universe with its perfection in cosmic creation.

Therefore friends, let's pray. If you have prayed, then you pray harder. This time with a sheer conviction upon your prayer. God is listening and God will never abandon His true servants for that is what He has promised us, "Pray to me and I will grant your prayer".
