Life somehow finds a way to pull the rug out from under us. During those times of despair we have two choices: 1) Hit the floor and stay there or 2) Grab His hand and rise.
The following is an excerpt from "Embrace the Morning - Rosary Meditations to Calm the Storm."
Luke
22:39-42: Then going out he went, as was his custom, to the Mount of
Olives, and the disciples followed him. When he arrived at the place
he said to them, “Pray that you may not undergo the test.”After
withdrawing about a stone's throw from them and kneeling, he prayed,
saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me;
still, not my will but yours be done.”
Jesus,
in his agony, remained steadfast in accepting the Father's will. We
too are faced with agony in our life, and need to hold fast to the
belief that God is with us. He will not saddle us with more than we
can endure. In His mercy, he will give us the fortitude to withstand
anything that comes our way – if
we let Him.
Let us pray:
Jesus, in your agony
you turned to the Father in faith and trust, knowing he would never
forsake you. When I am faced with challenges in my life, may my
faith and trust emulate yours.
