I was happy to go to Mass today and I thought the homily was something that I have been longing to hear. The topic was on trusting God. The priest talked about how we may think we are not trusting God with a certain situation or challenge, because we can still worry or be afraid. However, he said trusting God is moving forward no matter what your circumstances are. It is to do the things we need to do in our relationship with God such as praying and going to church and such. Those actions show that we do trust God and desire to be with Him. There have been many times in my life – especially caring for my parents – when I didn’t understand what was going on around me, or why things had to be so difficult. I kept saying I trusted God, but internally I didn’t feel like I had much confidence that He was working things out for the good. Sometimes, I still question that. I wonder, how can I say that I trust God when I can have doubts and fears. But I continue to try to stay close to Him. And the more I do, the more peace I have. I stress less and worry less. So, I guess that proves that He is still working in my heart and in my life. I was grateful to hear that showing up for God, particularly during challenging times, does actually reflect our trust in Him.

I Found God today in a new way of thinking about trust.
