"Lord, You are in control of my life, my sufferings, and my death.  May I never forget that." - reflection from the Padre Pio Prayer Group of Cleveland prayer calendar, 10/1/2020 

Wow.  What a game-changer.  Obvious, but way too often forgotten. 

How many times (a day!) do I want to be in control of myself, of situations, of others?  I know it's too many to count. 

When times get tough, when challenges pile up, when pandemic fatigue sets in, when I am too ill to lift my head, when I am not able to do what I want to do when I want to do it, when my plans and dreams cannot be fulfilled, when my neighbors irritate me ... I will remember these words and repeat them often: "Lord, You are in control of my life, my sufferings, and my death." 

And may I never forget that.  Amen.

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" - John 14:6 

We are connected.  We are plugged in.  Our electricity runs through us to Him and Him to us.  It is a two-way connection.  If the connection is broken, the energy stops flowing. 

Fortify your connection.  Tighten your fittings.  Stay grounded. 

Guiding Spirit, charge me with the surge of your Love.  Amen.
