Divine Mercy Sunday

Jesus, I Trust in You. Sometimes, that is the hardest thing to do. We want to have control over our lives and make all our plans, but then God intervenes and upends those plans.

Or when a loved one is sick, and we pray and pray for a miracle, but the person continues to suffer.

Or when we feel so mired in our sin that we don't feel God could ever forgive us, that He would ever welcome us back.

It can be so hard to trust, to truly believe that God the Father and Jesus the Son have our best eternal interests at heart. We need to trust in His mercy and humbly ask for forgiveness.

I have this picture hanging in my home. It serves as a constant reminder of the need to have that trust.

Jesus, I trust in you. Repeat as often as needed, especially in the midst of doubt.
