Trust in God

 Living day to day can be less joyful when worries take over the realm of our actions. It is our part to take heed of the words from our Beloved Saviour, Christ the Lord: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear..." The ailment of worries and weakness of faitheartedness could come from seemingly 'humane emotions'.Of course, naturally we could be cautious and alert, however at irrational and exaggerating level, worry could sneak in our heart and we could lose hope and love. 

 

The antidote of this kind of worry is - faith, trust in the Lord. In the words of Mother Gavrilia, abandon oneself to the Lord. By willingly and joyfully accepting the ever-good and wise Will of the Lord in our lives. That is our life's truest and deepest meaning. That is our kenosis. It is to run back to the Father of all good and light, and abide in His embrace just like the prodigal Son who returned to His Father; trusting literally everything to Him and live enjoying His mercy from moment to moment unto eternity. 

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7)

  1. Thank you for these encouraging thoughts -- en-courage-ing in that they remind us to "take courage!" I keep thinking that that is a more Christian greeting than "Stay safe." Can you imagine Christ saying the latter?

    As a student in Indonesia, are you "attending" classes online, or in person? I hope that you can find time to write more on your blog. God bless you!
