Faith in God and Fate of the Nation

Filipinos are also the cause of the illnesses that society is experiencing right now because we are letting these things happen.

Even though people say that we care for our nation and we want the best for it, still, we are lacking in doing positive actions. Sometimes, we are just good with words, but not with actions.

Hopelessness and Pessimism come from our lack of faith in God because we focus too much on the negatives that we forget about the positive things that are happening in our country. Instead, we should be hopeful and optimistic so that when we feel like everything is falling apart, believe that God can make them fall into place.

The fate of the Nation depends on the Filipinos' true Faith in God. Having true faith in God leads to hope and optimism among them which will eventually lead them to take positive actions that will bring pride to become a Filipino. And if one is proud to be a Filipino, he can make an impact in changing the fate of this nation.

In order to redirect the fate of our nation and to cure the illnesses of our society- that is widening social inequity, anemic and erratic economic development, injustice, oppression, violation of human rights, and widespread problems on illegal drugs and violence- and to prevent other illnesses from occurring, Filipinos should reawaken their utmost Faith in God, because, with God, nothing is impossible.

We must put our hope and trust in God so that our visions for our nation will come into reality. But when we put our trust in Him, we should also take positive actions to eradicate these illnesses. I believe that "Nasa Diyos ang Awa, Nasa Tao ang Gawa." (God has mercy on the man who does work.) That being said, in doing our own positive and effective ways, we can do something to redirect our nation's fate. Then we can finally say, we are proud to be Filipino.

For us to have a better future, we should start “change” within ourselves. Start with being a good person, daughter, sister, friend, and eventually, we will become a good citizen of our nation who can contribute to the progress that we aim for it.
