God is the greatest!

[Jcnava15]

It has been a rough few months for me. My faith was really on the rocks. I was on the verge of admitting I was agnostic, and just giving up with all this “pray without ceasing” stuff.

But no! God would not leave me alone.

Just a few minutes ago I was laying on my couch just struggling in my mind looking at the picture of Jesus on my wall, and saying “Jesus if it’s your will, let me know. I want to rely on you, because I can’t rely on myself.”.

Then I just laid next to my puppy because I was sad, and a quiet beautiful voice said “Read Matthew 5…”, I said "Jesus if that’s you let me know, I dont want to be talking to myself.
And again “Read Matthew 5…6”.

So I read it. It was the beatitudes. Matthew 5:6 was about those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. This spoke to me, because everyday for the past few months when I have been really struggling, I would cry out to God “My spirit needs food!I’m thirsty lord! I need my daily bread!”.

This was beautiful in itself, but again I doubted. But the voice again spoke “Read it again”.

So I went back to the website where I read it, and this time an Ad stuck out on the website that directly answered another prayer about a project I was struggling to finish.

God is great!

God is great!

Let nothing disturb you;
Let nothing frighten you,
All things pass away.
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things.
He who has God,
finds he lacks nothing.
God alone suffices.

St. Teresa of Avila.

I’ve been there myself. Isn’t it nice to know that God is, was, and will always be involved in our lives?

You always hear other people’s stories and are never phased, but when it happens to you, it is amazing.

I love that I don’t have to wait til later to enjoy the presence of Christ, he is already with me!

I too have been going through a very difficult time, my marriage is falling apart.
I was thinking God was very far away. Then the other day out of the blue a coworker
gave me a small crucifix for my desk. I believe God was letting me know he was here.
