“Why Comfort Room ang title?”


To give you a little background, it was during late 2020 na nawala ko kay Lord. Also, during the first week of August 2021 is when I experienced a “heartbreak”. Gibulagan ko days before sa pag start sa akong life as a 1st year college student. 


From that point onwards, although naa ko’y friends, I still felt alone and anxious. I kept blaming myself for the heartbreak. I can’t move on but I also felt like “I want to get out of this”. 


So everytime naa koy sudden burst of sadness, sa CR ko gahilak ug maayo. Sa CR pud ko makapanghinuktok. Sa CR pud ko naga-overthink. Sa CR nako ginabuhos tanan nakong negative feelings.


For 2 years, wala ko naka-move on sa akuang past and it was really hard for me. Maayo nalang I have this close friend of mine na ginasharan nako sa akong mga thoughts and feelings. So, it felt lighter. Pero honestly, sulod sa kaning 2 years, I didn’t do well even though naga-continue gihapon ko ug adto sa akong Comfort Room which is ang CR namo.However, recently sige ko’g ask kay Lord that He will do something na pinasahi sa akong life, something different. Then, He answered it.


This is how it went. Niadto ko’g CR. I believe it's a word of knowledge given by the Lord that He impressed me ang family sa akong close friend.


Since medyo close pud ko sa iyang family and makauban nako sila usahay, nagwonder ko unsa ba’y reasons nganong naga-occur ang mga problema sa ilahang family like pagpamalikas ug wala’y undang nga away. While asking these questions, little did I know naga-transition na diay ‘to into prayer. 


Instead of just wondering, nakapray ko nga ‘Lord i-guide ilahang mga words kay kabalo ko unsa ka-impactful ang words sa tao. Lord bless their family Lord and please i-provide jud nimo ilahang mga needs. Lord ikaw pud mag-provide ug comfort sa bawat isa nila”.

This prayer continued hangtod sa hangtod. Later on, I realized naga-ampo na diay ko.So, I also included my friends. 


Karon, it became my habit ang pag-pray sa CR and I do my best to workout ang pag pray sa ubang tao kay I believe na prayer is one of the greatest help na atong ma-offer jud sa uban.Pero bitaw, I’m just amazed kung unsa ang kaya bag-uhon ni Lord sa isa ka aspect sa imong life.

He made me realize that the Comfort Room kung asa ko nagahilak sa una because of negative feelings is already the Comfort Room where I pray for other people’s comfort in life with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I honestly don’t know what to pray jud for other people, pero ingon pa sa uban na “Si Holy Spirit na ang bahala”. He will guide the words that will come out of your mouth. I hope na na-inspire mo ug nadasig mo sa akong story although it’s weird and funny na nganong it was really in the Comfort Room I developed my prayer life. I also do believe na naa pu’y bag-uhon si Lord sa imuha.

It might not happen suddenly but trust in His right time, He will do great things for you.
