Do you trust Jesus as much as you trust yourself?
If we love God fully, life gets easier

Sure, it will not make life a bed of roses. We all know how our God was treated and He promised that if we follow Him, we will be treated likewise. But if we love God fully, we can let go of our anxieties. God is … well, God. He is the God of the universe, yet He loves us little ants of the cosmos. He is in control and we can trust Him.
Life seems hardest in our anxieties. Those come either from situations in our life or decisions in our life. The situations become bearable when we know we have a loving God that would not allow a single hair to fall from our head without His knowing. If He is all-loving and all-knowing, we can trust God in our situations; no matter how bad they are.
With decisions in our life, they become a lot easier when we love God. He has given us the Church to guide us. When our decision has a choice against Church teaching and a choice with Church teaching, the decision has become one of following God and walking away from Him. Our anxiety is our unwillingness to trust that our God loves us enough that He knows better. If we think we know better, we walk away from Him much like Adam and Eve thinking that we can be our own god.
Mary, you loved God the fully. Help us to love God fully by accepting our situations and making decisions to follow God.

About the Author
I am an adopted son of God through baptism, though still a great sinner. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and 11 lovely children, 3 of which have gone to Heaven before their birth.
I love the Rosary and started sharing little Catholic reflections with others. My little reflections have helped deepen my faith and I hope they can help others as well. Though not always fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, I enjoy when He takes over and seeing what direction He takes the reflection.
Please say a prayer for me and I will continue to pray for all who read my little reflections, especially for them to be read as the Holy Spirit intends. St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for the success of my little reflections and for all of Catholic365 and its readers.
