Hope For Today "Trust"

We’ve all had far too much experience of how life can be challenging at times.  Whether it is personal challenges, family dysfunction, difficulties at work, issues in the community, or world-wide problems, there are many things that can feel like a burden. How then can God promise us joy in the middle of it all? 

God had filled our world with good things – truth, blessings, His presence, hope and purpose – just to name a few.  St. Patrick’s life is certainly a witness to God’s power to be with us through the many different seasons we face.

We come to God and invite Him into all we are and do because our need for His peace and power is desperate in order for us to not only survive but to thrive in the good plans He’s prepared for us.

Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything else to my desires. I will trust that God is working all things for good in my life.

DON’T GIVE UP – PERSERVERE When troubles arise in our lives, we often feel helpless to cope with them.

Doughnuts have both dough and holes and when they are first cut from the raw dough, they don’t look good or taste good.

How do we respond when our lives are filled with trouble and pressure and stress?
