Hi Sneha,
Please read the following passages:
"Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid of them! The Lord your God will go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you". (Deuteronomy 31:6)
"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my victorious right hand". (Isaiah 41:10)
"I will lie down in peace and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe". (Psalm 4:8)
"I am leaving you a gift - peace of mind and heart". (John 14:27)
"Always keep yourselves united in the Holy Spirit, and bind yourselves together with peace". (Ephesians 4:3)
Sneha, even if you are not religious or spiritual, these passages are very comforting to read when there is so much turmoil in the world today. I believe that you can create your own confidence. It takes dedication to yourself, but it is achievable. Your life is NOT worthless at all. You were created for a purpose. You may not know what the purpose is, or may never know, however your life is far more valuable than you believe. Think about the people around you; your family, your friends, all of your loved ones, your own family [if you have one], people you meet in your travels (at the grocery store, the bank, at your office [if you work outside the home], the doctor's office, your own neighbours). Think about how any ONE of those people would feel if all of a sudden you were gone. Think very carefully. You do not realize how much your life impacts everyone else's life around you. You don't know this because you don't think about it. Most of us don't. We are too busy to stop and think about much at all. I want you to know that you have touched my heart tonight as I respond to your question. You have just added another person to your list of people who wouldn't know what to do without you. All because you asked a simple question. Mental peace begins in your heart. If you settle your heart, you will settle your mind. If you need to forgive someone, do it. If you need to discuss something that is out of sorts with someone, do it. If you find that the world is too confusing for you, don't think about it. Block it out. The world will carry on anyway.
Find a quiet place each day and if you can, sit near a tree or a patch of grass and just look around you. Feel the breeze. Smell the air. Daydream if you want. Look at the colors you see. Hear the sounds near and far. Acheiving peace of mind is clearing it of "stuff" first. Once you do that, you will feel life is worth something again. Bless you, Sneha. May you find the peace you are searching for.
