TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME! &
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

Letting Go And Letting God


Have you ever been in the mood to let go of worry, fear and doubt? Ever wonder what that would be like?
This issue has been on my mind a long time ,I struggle with it , in fact I don’t think it's possible to be in this world and not have to deal with it. But there is an answer and its a simple one, stop trying with your own strength to get rid of those emotions and instead ignore them and seek God instead. Don't just seek God but rather seek Gods presence, take each day, and each moment one at a time.
Jesus tells us “can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life?” Of course not.
God intended us to trust Him. Worry is the opposite of faith & trust. When we learn to give our problems, needs, so forth to God, we're allowing Him to be in control, allowing ourselves the liberty, the freedom to enjoy what He has given us. Some of us by nature worry more than others. We should pray, giving whatever is bothering us to God, then going forth doing our best to enjoy life as it happens. And when the uncertainty of life takes hold of us, remember, God is still on the throne, He is still there, able to hear our heart's cries, always waiting to comfort & restore. It takes practice to let go of worry, fear and doubt, this doesn't mean we're to not be responsible but rather learn to enjoy the love & beauty in our lives. Whatever we feed within ourselves is what grows. Feed doubt, fear, & worry....they increase. Feed trust, faith, joy, & peace; they grow. So take each day, and each moment one at a time and let go.
