It is one
thing to say, “What’s going to be with this world? Where are things going? What
is going to happen to us?” And it is totally another, to turn all that happens
into motivation to run to Christ. “My Lord, I believe that you run and govern
the world, that you know everything, that you give grace and save. So I come to
you begging to take away this mood, this sadness for current problems which
weigh heavy on my shoulders and give me pain. I let everything rest in your
hands, my God”.
It is one
thing taking such an attitude that brings peace and divine consolation into
you, and it is another saying the same words in agony. The latter is,
ultimately, lack of trust in God’s providence and goodness.
When we are
ready and mature, God will deprive us of nothing.
