The Will of God
He Who Trusts the Will of God Has No Worries
With all the troubles that are now befalling our world, many people find themselves worrying about the future. The pandemic, as well as the political instability that has taken the West by storm, together with job stability, has given many people cause for concern. Yet for the Christian, we know that worrying will change nothing. For a Christian, our faith in Divine Providence leads us to know that the only thing I must be concerned about, is doing the will of God.
How do we know we're living according to the will of God? The Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica tells us, "He who lives according to God's will has no worries. When he needs something, he simply prays for it. If he does not receive that which he asked for, he is joyful as though he had received it. A soul that has given itself over to God has no fear of anything, not even robbers, sickness, or death. Whatever happens, such a soul always cries, 'It was the will of God'."
With love in Christ,
Abbot Tryphon
