Listen.

Last Wednesday, I was tossing about in my bed, my brain still spinning (I was rushing my mensuration homework, of which all required formulas and tedious calculations).

And after all, it was a Wednesday, the worst day of the entire week (in my opinion), and there was a Math test the next day.

So, I couldn't sleep.

And then I so cleverly went to recall someone saying 'What is tested for Geography test tomorrow?' earlier in the afternoon at school, and so I panicked and jumped out of bed, emptied my bag searching for evidence that there was indeed a Geography test the next day.

Of course, I found none. But being silly, I still wanted to revise to play safe. My textbook and workbook were both in school, so I did the next best thing - worry.

The clock read midnight and I was staring at my ceiling.

I took out my bible and started to read. Another mistake: reading from the depressing chapters of Job. Nothing was helping.

Thinking back, I don't know why I was doing all these stupid things. I'm always a bit xiao at night I guess.

So I asked God to calm me down and let me sleep. I kept calling His name over and over again in my mind but I felt even worse. Giving up, I shut up and didn't say anything anymore.

It was then that I heard Him say, "I'm right here."

Sometimes, we get so caught up in our lives and we forget to listen to Him. But throughout, He will always be beside us - whether we know it or not.

PS. There wasn't any Geography test the next day.

PPS. God had told me that, so I slept peacefully until the next morning.
