When Things Don't Turn Out the Way We Want it, What Do We Do?

When things don't turn out the way we want it (after we plan, plan, and plan), so then what do we have to do?

Sometimes God doesn't give you what you ask for because He wants to give you something better - Yasmin Mogahed

First, Don't give up hope in God!

It may be that you love something, but it is not good for you. And it may be that you hate something, but it's actually good for you. ALLAH knows, and you don't know.
(QS Al-Baqarah : 216)

We really need to trust God, that He knows what's best for us. Sometime the situation we face, seems bad on the surface, but we actually learn a lot from it. There's always lessons and wisdoms behind everything that happens.

Second, increase your prayer!

This is the best way to build a strong relationship with God alone. Make God as your best friend. Tell Him everything! No secret between best friends, right?!

Third, count your blessings!

Imagine for a day living with no eyes? Imagine for a day living with no hands or feet? Imagine for a day living without being able to breath? Or any other things within us that we fail to thank ALLAH for. Do you think that we deserve those things that He gave us? NO! It's out of His mercy that He gave us in the first place! Really, we actually don't deserve anything!


Fourth, focus on the things you can do!

Ask yourself, "what can I do to keep myself busy?" and reward yourself afterward. It doesn't matter how small the things will be! This is important to distract yourself from the negative thoughts/whisper from Syaitan.
