Come, Lord, our God, and save us! Show us your face, and we will be dedicated. 

Make up your mind at least once, if not more times in your life, that you relied on your forces or circumstances that should have guaranteed you a good result, success, or favorable position. However, sometimes everything turns around, and everything is different, like a snap of a finger. We begin to doubt ourselves and abandon ourselves; our joy gradually fades until we are filled with fear and uncertainty for a specific time (or moment). Why is that so? Because in the matter that was so important to us, we relied more on “how good I am, how I can’t be wrong, but I’m like a fish in water” and similar thoughts that cloud our judgment. We should constantly remember that the Lord is our only hope, NOT our last. He gives us everything we need. He is the savior of the lost. He will provide you with the best because he knows what you require. Therefore, do not be afraid to place your steps daily in the hands of the One who comes and offers you all heaven. Be brave and walk forward with a smile.

Prayer: Lord, I take refuge in You. Help me surrender every step to You; teach me the art of small steps in joy. Let me not be focused on my strengths and abilities because they can betray me over time. But I know that you will never betray me. Let me remember that. Amen.

Questions for reflection: Can you surrender all your today and tomorrow to the Lord without fear or doubt? Why am I surprised if something doesn’t turn out according to my expectations?… After all, I believe in the Lord!
