“With the trust and simplicity of a small child, I give myself to You today, O Lord Jesus, my Master. I leave You complete freedom in directing my soul. Guide me along the paths You wish. I won’t question them. I will follow You trustingly. Your merciful Heart can do all things!” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 228
This is such a beautiful prayer to the Sacred and Most Merciful Heart of Jesus.
Make this a resolute prayer of your heart every day throughout 2025. Sit at the feet of the Lord as He teaches you to trust more fully the Divine Will of the Father.
This is a tough thing, to leave Jesus complete freedom in directing my soul. Asking God to guide me along the paths He wishes without trying to take the wheel. Even more difficult maybe is not to question these paths upon He guides us. The only way to truly succeed is to trustingly follow Jesus.
We ended the year turning to a blank page and giving Jesus the pen to write the story of our lives. We ask starting today that He take this pen to write the story of our soul as He desires not as I desire.
2024 took Connie and I on many roads. We often saw God’s presence in the decisions we made and actual paths we took. We surrendered our lives to God as He guided us through the prior year. Now, 2025 stands before us, a wide open expanse and a clean page. We pray trustingly that God give us the directions to go where He desires us. We ask Jesus to take the wheel and take us there. We surrender our days and future with a quick ‘yes’. And look excitedly to see God along the way and do His Divine Will.
Happy New Year to all who walk the Road of Faith with us. May your lives be a strong ‘yes’ to God.
Let us make our prayer like St. Faustina’s on the day of her perpetual vows – May 1, 1933.
“Union with Jesus on the day of perpetual vows. Jesus, from now on Your Heart is mine,and mine is Yours alone. The very thought of Your Name, Jesus, is the delight of my heart. I truly would not be able to live without You, even for a moment, Jesus. Today my soul has lost itself in You, my only treasure. My love knows no obstacles in giving proof of itself to its Beloved.” Divine Mercy in My Soul # 239
