O my God, in you I trust; do not let me be put to shame." ~Psalm 25:1-2 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. I can link up my frail nature with God's limitless power. I can link my life with God's force for good in the world. It is not the passionate appeal that gains God's attention as much as the quiet placing of our difficulties and worries in God's hands. So I can trust God like a child who places its tangled skein of wool in the hands of a loving mother to unravel. We can please God more by our unquestioning confidence than by imploring God for help. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may put all my difficulties in God's hands and leave them there. I pray that I may fully trust God to take care of them. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
