Reflect: “Lay all your cares about the future trustingly in God’s hands, and let yourself be guided by the Lord just like a little child…” – St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Today, try to surrender every fear and worry you have to the Lord. Children are carefree because they trust and love. Let the Lord you in a new way today.
Share: Ask someone today if you can pray with them. Prayer is a powerful shared experience. Share with the person you are praying together with one way God has been at work in your life recently.

This reminds me that the alternative to trusting God is not so pretty. Stuff is going to happen. Instead of feeling anxious, worried, afraid, carrying it alone, could trusting Him make it more livable? For me the trick will be learning how to hand it over. How do you just stop being afraid and worrying? I know it in my head but have to get it in my heart. Sure would be nice to sleep at night ?
Having just gone through a frightening health episode with my husband and our adult daughter, this truly struck me. I keep saying “Jesus I trust in You”! But are my thoughts and actions speaking that. Please Lord, help me to trust!
What a beautiful reflection. Sister, your joy is so real! I want that joy and I’m going to trust that God will give it to me as He wills. Thank you so much for theee videos. They are making this Advent special.
