I talk to Allah everyday. I make a habit to. I also remind myself to be grateful to Him, to say thanks to him when things are easy for me, because He made it easy for me.
Growing up, i always feel like talking to God has to be formal. Formal in a way that i must do daily prayer first and only then i can pray for what i want in life. News flash: i mature and i realize that when He says that He is near, He is indeed near for as long as i believe so.
So i changed the way i ask Allah. I used to only ask Him on a prayer mat, now i include Him in my everyday routine. Like i’m talking to myself.
“Ya Allah, harap boleh terus masuk train ni takyah tunggu the next train” me while walking to MRT to commute to office. And if i managed to get on the train like i wish, i’ll say “terima kasih ya Allah, dapat terus naik. Terima kasih dah permudahkan urusan aku”
“Permudahkan lah urusan kerja aku untuk hari ini. Semoga smooth takde masalah, takde orang cari and kacau. Aku nak focus buat …. (Report, pull data, prepare letter etc)” i make sure to be specific.
“Leganya berjaya berak. Alhamdulillah terima kasih!” Happened to me just now, that i decided i wanna write about it. Lol.
Well, to name a few. I have lots!
I learn that the talk doesn’t have to be deep, big or profound. It just had to be me, including God in my everyday life. When things are easy and convenient, i give my thanks to Him and when it’s the opposite, i ask Him to make it bearable for me or i’ll simply just say “mesti ada hikmah, i trust You” somehow it feels like an instant relief and i love that for me.
