Have Trust; Have Hope; Have Faith

Ask yourselves, young people, about the love of Christ. Acknowledge His voice resounding in the temple of your heart. Return His bright and penetrating glance which opens the paths of your life to the horizons of the Church’s mission. It is a taxing mission, today more than ever, to teach men the truth about themselves, about their end, their destiny, and to show faithful souls the unspeakable riches of the love of Christ. Do not be afraid of the radicalness of His demands, because Jesus, who loved us first, is prepared to give Himself to you, as well as asking of you. If He asks much of you, it is because He knows you can give much.
-Saint Pope John Paul II; The Meaning of Vocation

I think it is important to remember how God has saved us numerous times by bringing us to a better place. He knows us better than we know ourselves. And because of that, He will only allow us to bear our obstacles, challenges or hardship that we can handle and not an ounce more. He never said that this road, this journey, we take with Him is going to be easy. In fact, He specifically said to pick up our cross and follow Him (Mt 16:24, Mk 8:34, Lk 9:23). However, He promises that He will be there with us every step of the way. For in the Bible it says:
“Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalms 119:105)
He will light every step we take no matter how lost we are. In the darkness that threatens to engulf us, He will be there. His light, greater than any other.
“Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares about you." (1Peter 5:7)
For He assures you that in everything, have trust and hope in Him for we are His children. He welcomes all of us with arms wide open.

Let us be open to His plans for us. Continue to pray fervently so that we may build a stronger and deeper relationship with Him.

“The value of consistent prayer is not that He will hear you, but that we will hear Him."
