If we’re honest, many of us wake up already feeling a little weighed down. However, we get on with the day—work to do, family to care for, responsibilities that won’t wait. Yet beneath it all, there’s a heaviness that lingers.
More often, it’s the slow accumulation of small things over time: disappointments left unresolved, opportunities that slipped through our fingers, the pain of a broken relationship, financial pressures, and prayers that seemed to go unanswered, leaving many people with a bitter feeling about life.
And that’s the thing about bitterness: it forms gradually. But you keep going because you have to. You stay strong for others. Yet somewhere along the way, hope feels more distant. Perhaps you ask yourself, “When will things turn around? Why does it feel like the same struggles keep coming back? Will anything really change?” When those feelings are not released, they begin to shape how you see everything.
That is why spiritual cleansing is so important. Just as water cleanses the body, there are moments when the soul needs cleansing too, in order to release what has been stored for far too long.
We are now in the penultimate week of the Chain of Prayer: 7 Fridays of Spiritual Cleansing with 7 Blessed Waters. “This has been more than a series of meetings; it has been a journey toward renewal.”
This Friday, join us at your local Universal Church and bring a bottle of water with you, because you will receive a drop of consecrated water from the lake.
This blessed water symbolises a transformed life — unlike the bitter water of frustrations, losses, and accumulated sorrow. It speaks of a fresh start. Just as water cleanses, refreshes, and restores, this consecrated drop gives you the chance to release what has been holding you back.
A new chapter can begin. Sometimes, all it takes is a decision to step forward in faith so that something better can unfold.
Event: 7 Fridays of Spiritual Cleansing with 7 Blessed Waters
Day and time: Friday 20th February at 7:30pm (also at 7am, 10am and 3pm)
