Where do you turn in your time of need? For comfort after a stressful day, after a conflict with someone or something like unexpected news about your health? We often turn to things of this world to satisfy these areas of need within our heart rather than what will satisfy our needs.
Every Mass across the world ends with this call to action in how we can praise God. How do you serve the Lord with your one sacred, holy and precious life?
Much of the journey of spiritual growth is about choosing the better part. This is the way we praise God giving glory through our life. When two good things are in front of you, how do you make the right choice? The better choice usually involves trust and self-surrender.
As we face another day, consider whether you have made yourself too busy for God. Let’s praise God and ask how we can make time and be available to help fulfill His plan today.
It is impossible to habitually spend time in silence and not know yourself. I think much of the world numbs out through constant noise and distraction to keep from going deep within. I know I did this with my busyness.
The older I get, I’m learning a light touch is better than a hammer. Especially when it comes to matters of the heart and how I relate to others. Approaching difficult situations by sheer willpower fails me and I believe there must be a Higher Power which helps me. I think of that power as the grace of God.
