Fears and Tears

The Lord has whispered these words to me – “where are you going?” A question that leads me into an array of emotions. I have been sitting with this question for weeks, do I face what is before me and go through it or do I take another way?

I know in times of trouble or “desolation” which St. Ignatiaus speaks about, you are to make no changes. So I have followed this rule and increased my prayer time and stayed the course.

The Lord has brought to my heart to follow Him in a special way the next 90 days. With a prayer partner, I am going to begin “Magnify 90” today which is similar to the men’s version of “Exodus 90”.

Let God push out your boat into the deep waters, toward the unfathomable depths of interior life. Diary of St. Faustina

I am going to continue my weekly blog and post it, but will come off all social media for the next 90 days. I am also going to let go of many things as I begin my walk with the Lord.

Few souls understand what God would accomplish in them if they were to abandon themselves unreservedly to Him and if they were to allow His grace to mold them accordingly. St. Ignatius of Loyola

Lord, I don’t know where I am going, but You do. I hear Your voice inviting me to come, to see, and to follow.

I offer my surrender to the Lord, in my human way, in my fears, through my tears, I offer my surrender, because I trust He has me covered in His love. I fall into His arms and receive His embrace, and He says, “My daughter, it is good that you are here.”

Let your door stand open to receive Him, unlock your soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind, and then you will set the riches of simplicity, the treasures of peace, the joy of grace. Throw wide the gate of your heart, stand before the sun of the everlasting light. St. Ambrose
