Lest You Fall

"You who fear the Lord, wait for His mercy and do not turn away lest you fall." - Sirach 2:7

A priest told me today to never rely on my own strength for anything because without the hand of God, I will be weak and will fall. I thought about it and now I am telling you this because it is very true. Sometimes we face some things in life that are hard to deal with and when God doesn't seem to answer them, we think we can handle it on our own and we can't. We really are weak and most of the time can't control the smallest things around us. That's why we just have to keep on hoping and keep our eyes placed on Him.…the very second we take our eyes off, stop praying, going to church, we allow our weakness to cloud our eyes. Not only do we lose sight of God, but we lose sight of ourselves and everything becomes out of place. It is only with our eyes placed continually on God that we will see His loving kindness, a love that not only comes to our aid, but renews our soul.

Today's Prayer:
Lord God, thank You for being there for those that seek You with all their hearts. You are good, You are faithful and You lovingly receive all that search for You. In Your Name we pray, amen.
