Sometimes we feel like we are carrying the heaviest cross in the world and no one has it any harder. It is on those days, those weeks that we do not feel like starting our day, let alone getting through it. We want to hide in our little cave (our homes) and avoid anyone and everything in an attempt to avoid the inevitable, reminders of our problems.
But life need not be that way. Life in prayer, meditation, and devotion to God allows us to understand how peace and acceptance can find itself in our hearts. And also how in this peace, the clarity to find answers and strength is restored.
I do not think I could deal with the world without my support structure. My wife and family. My friends and coworkers. My fellow parishioners at church. And my relationship with Jesus. In each of theses people, God constantly sends me reminders of His love and dedication to my life. All I need give in return is my love, dedication and trust.
It has never been more apparent to me that if I leave something that is troubling me at the foot of the cross, Jesus will raise me up from it and lead me on to a new life. The old adage, "let go and let God," has played a major role in all this. It is at work once again as a mini crisis looms, but I know God will pull me through, even if the outcome is not what I hope for. It is after all God's plan and it would be foolish to think I have total control. I only provide what I put in to it. God produces the result based on this and my faith.
