You Know Better Than I

"When Samuel hears God's call, he says, "Speak, for your servant is listening" (1 Sm 3:10). This is the true spirit of prayer; not, "Listen, Lord, your servant is speaking!" -Father Emmerich Vogt, O.P. I actually got a good laugh out of that last part, "Listen, Lord, your servant is speaking!" So that's why I decided to share it with y'all today. There is a good message to be found in it though. When we pray we shouldn't play the part of the All Mine Bunny but should listen to the Father because His plans & answers for us are & will be more beneficial than our own. I'm not saying we shouldn't bring our needs to God but we should approach prayer in a humble spirit and be willing to let God take care of us, not tell Him how to take care of us. Pray that God shows you how He can improve the present moment through you dear friends.

No matter what your situation is, what you are struggling with, if you believe your problems to be big whereas they're actually small, it does not matter. God requires that you first follow Him. First seek His counsel before you speak and act. No I don't mean to say what is going on in your life does not matter. What I am saying is when what is in your life is put in foreground and He recedes into the background; when your thoughts turn not first to Christ, that is when they do not matter. They can't matter because you are not letting Him be a part of them. God is the central force in our life. When that stops being the case nothing else matters. Our lives go through seasons, and sometimes we f...
