Sometimes we are troubled by and doubtful of God's Divine Plan for us. We only get a glimpse of what He intends for us and it frightens us. We wonder how we could ever do this thing or that thing He is asking of us. However, this is where trust in the Lord is necessary. We have to cultivate our faith in the Lord, so that when He does ask us to follow Him where we do not want to go we will have the fidelity to say, “Yes.” God does not promise an easy road for His followers. His path is a narrow one with many trials and tribulations along the way. If we stray, even if only by a little, we can get lost. Thankfully, when we do get lost God sends us the graces we need to return to Him just like He sent his Resurrected Son to the disciples when they were lost after his Passion and Death. We are given a new opportunity to live Christ-like lives and we ought to do everything we can to accept these graces and allow God to bring us back into His fold.
What troubles us in our lives? What questions frequently arise in our hearts? How can we address these troubles and questions in such a way as to build up our relationship with God?
O Lord, we are troubled. Help us to become more trusting in you.
Amen.
