“write these words on a clean sheet of paper … “From today on, I do the will of God everywhere, always, and in everything.” Diary of Divine Mercy #372
The year ahead and our future is a blank and open page. We know not what the next hour brings let alone what tomorrow or the year ahead has in store. We can’t guess nor foretell what the days of our lives will bring. The continuing ‘journal’ of our lives is unseen by us. God alone has the story of tomorrow in His hands.
I challenge The Road of Faith community to put down the pen that we hold trying to write our story. Turn the page to a blank page and give it to God to complete. We must relinquish all illusions of our control and surrender to God this moment and the next. We must in turn surrender all our yesterdays – success and failings alike.
It all comes down to the simple question, “do I trust God?” It is simple to ask and simple to answer but admittedly a complex answer in our day to day. This is why I challenge you to start with the next blank page. Put down the pen and let God write the story of the day. Allow God to compose the notes and lyrics that are your lifesong. Only pick up the pen to offer it to God the Father that He may sign HIS Name in autograph to the story He wrote of our lives.
Let our mantra begin today, let it start right now and continue anew ever day and every moment – let that mantra ring, “Thy Will be done.”
I heard these words: I am with you….My complete will shall be accomplished in you. Know that it will cost you much, so write these words on a clean sheet of paper: “From today on, my own will does not exist,” and then cross out the page. And on the other side write these words: “From today on, I do the will of God everywhere, always, and in everything.” Be afraid of nothing; love will give you strength and make the realization of this easy.” Diary of Divine Mercy #372
