Jesus, I Trust In You!

Today I am pondering this:

"The moment you realize you are worrying, make very quickly an act of confidence: 'No, Jesus, You are there: nothing - nothing - happens, not a hair falls from our heads, without your permission. I have no right to worry.' Perhaps He is sleeping in the boat, but He is there. He is always there. He is all-powerful; nothing escapes His vigilance. He watches over each one of us 'as over the apple of His eye' He is all love, all tenderness. It is really an offense against Him when we worry voluntarily about anything. That is what causes Him pain. That is what wounds His Heart more than anything else."

-St. Therese of Lisieux from I Believe in Love by Father Jean C. J. d'Elbee

Often, I really struggle to believe this is true. But it is. God is here, right now, working. I'm quite sure that this will be be mantra in the year to come... Jesus I Trust in You!
