 "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. |
