I seen quite a bit of improvement over these past few days of Lent. For awhile I’ve been fairing quite well, despite a few close calls here and there, but last night, and this evening, I have been struggling a lot angry thoughts that came very close to becoming mortally sinful. I have recovered a bit from the last episode, but I need your prayers to help me recover fully.
Prayers today. Don;t be too hard on yourself. Jesus doesn't love you without good reason. Imagine Himself and His MOther giving you a big hug to cheer you up.
I'm currently doing 30 days of spiritual teaching on Teresa of Avila. It's very comforting for the moments of vulnerability. Yesterday I read "our eyes must be fixed on our goal. Do not be afraid that God will allow us to travel by night and so be lost unless we first choose to forsake the journey we have begun. Hardly do we stumble even in the slightest degree when You O Lord give us your hand. If we love God and not the things of this world we will be traveling along the valley of humility. And the thought for the day; Anyone who truly loves God travels securely. God bless you and courage the Lord is holding you in his arms
And today's thought is; Let me not try to fly before God gives me wings. In other words we have weak nature's but trust The Lord. If we do our best we will be victorious and God will bring about in your soul all that you desire . Do not be troubled but hope in the Lord.
