The Franciscan Hermit

Seeing God In His Creatures. Experiencing Loneliness,Abandonement, Sickness and Poverty. Learning how to live The Gospel Life while in The World. Writing about individual journey experiences that might help others. Prayer intentions. Sacrificing for others. Becoming child-like. Seeing Jesus' face in the poor and the sick, the hungry and the homeless. Learning to depend solely on God The Father, Jesus The Son and The Holy Spirit. Learning to avoid self centered desires and temptations.

GOD IS IN CHARGE TRUST HIM


STEVE THE HERMIT SPEAKS:

TRUST gives God permission to act freely so He can have MERCY on us.(Rom 11:32). Removing obstacles like FEAR help us grow spiritually. FEAR is the greatest obstacle of the HUMAN CONDITION. It paralyzes us and holds us in bondage. JESUS said "FEAR is useless.What is needed is TRUST"(Mk 5:36).

HOW DO WE TRUST IN THE MIDST OF FEARS?

We can repeat over and over again, throughout the day, from the heart, JESUS I TRUST IN YOU. His Mercy is there for the asking and waiting for you. This Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday.

I like this open blog format and the opportunity for readers to be able to interact with the authors. Seeing these images of Francis and Clare trusting,have helped me prepare for prayer today. Please pray for my daughter who is an unmarried mother of two. Pray for my son who had major colon surgery with complications.Please pray for me as my anxieties are at levels too much for me to handle and I am trying to trust God but I've been disappointed so many times. Why the constant pain that never stops?

Pain is a part of preparation. Jesus said,"If you want to follow Me, PICK UP YOUR CROSS". There's no other way. Pain and sorrow is what exists in this world and helps strengthen us. Jesus also said, "Not MY WILL BUT YOUR WILL,FATHER." Abandoning our ways and placing all trust in HIM is what it's all about. This is not easy but let's not forget that practically all Jesus's friends abandoned Him at The Cross. They were afraid of publically showing that they were associated with Him. We must be proud and not deny Him but TRUST HIM. Believe without seeing.
