Desperate Prayers
What happens when you have prayed ...
For days, weeks and months even ...
And nothing seems to happen ...
What then?
I hope these thoughts are of some comfort to you.

Remain in Me
"I
am the vine, you are the branches.
Whoever
remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,
because
without me you can do nothing." - John 15:5
Remain
in me.
Without
me you can do nothing.
We know this. We know this to be true.
We sometimes try to go out on our own and do
our own thing. We sometimes try to take control of things and convert people
and change the whole world.
We forget. We are not in charge. We are not in control.
We are the branches. And we can do nothing
without Jesus.
We need to remain in Him. We need to stay
rooted in Him. We need to be nourished by Him.
Is that not why we go to Mass? Is that not
why we receive the Eucharist? Is that not why we pray every day?
How else can we remain in Him?
Sometimes it is a struggle. But it is a
struggle that reminds us that without Jesus ... we can do nothing.
Remain
in me.
Lord,
help me to remember I am not in charge. Help me to let go and surrender
everything to you. Help me to trust you totally. Thank you, Lord. - Amen
