“But trust does not mean believing that God will spare us from suffering… To trust God means that we must know that whatever comes to us comes from His hand… Christ says: ‘Take no thought of tomorrow.’ He also says: ‘take up your cross daily.’ There is no need, in accepting sorrow, to look ahead, to imagine tomorrow, to ask for more or less, but just as we receive our joy day by day, so can we receive our sorrow day by day, and it will be measured day by day, by the love of God and our own littleness…”

Today’s Reflection:
Trusting God does not mean that life will be free from suffering. It means believing that He will give us the grace we need for whatever each day brings. What worries are you carrying? How is Jesus inviting you today to trust Him more deeply?
