St. Joseph
I pray daily, even hourly to resign myself to God's Holy will. All that He has planned for me. My pride and stubbornness keeps echoing in my mind, "thats too hard!" and " You shouldn't have to take that from anybody! " or "Your opinion counts too!" or "Just keep fighting for your way!" There is the discernment in the last 2 words ."Your way". Who do I think I am? Actually thinking I believe I know more than God? That I can master this life all by myself? Wrong! His master plan for me and each and every 1 of us is ultimately reached by listening to the promptings that He sends us. Via, the Holy Spirit. But we must be watchful and vigilant in our quest to understand when He speaks to us. I'm so busy trying to save the world I forget that my house needs to be cleaned also. "The litany Of Humility" helps me in just these moments.
God really and truly is the only one I trust. But it seems like He's the one I ignore the most when it comes to surrendering things that I'm sure I can solve or take care of myself. Bringing me back to square one. Always.
Mastering His plan for me in my life is a daily struggle for me. Pray, hope and don't worry.. Sounds dreamy. But when actually faced with doing that, my mind tends to get impatient and I start thinking, " uh oh what's wrong? " Then sure enough, with enough time, it ends up being taken care of by a God who can recognize a spoiled child when He sees one...
